The Force OF Habit.

Democratic editors have much to contend
against when trying to play the role of gentle
men. ITO smoke" says Greeley, sis a Demo-
cratic virtue. To chew is that virtue intensi-
fed To drink rum is that virtue in the super
latiye degree" These are peculiarities of Demo-
cratic editors as we'll as of the masses but one
not to be mistaken ear-mark of Democratic
write rs is the writing of God with little 'g"
The Press and Herald corps of editors have
this latter habit so fastened upon them that they
write "RiclIs" with little ~" Greeley could
spot them any time as of the simon-pure breed
of unwashed Democracy.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. II, 1872.

BRISTOL, Tenn, Oct. II, 1872,
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The candidates
for Governor spoke here to-day, to about
two hundred and fifty Virginians and
Tennesseeans, and the very best of order
prevailed. Col. Freeman made the open
ing speech, and his friends were well pleas
ed with his effort and no doubt he made
friends that will count on the day of cleo
ton. He charged the present State Gov
eminent with mistakes, weakness and inn
becility, and sustained his charges with
uncontrovertable facts. He advocates ed
ucation for all, and a new and better sys-
tenn of public roads, and he defends the
acts and doings of the Republican party
and President Grant in a mastery man
ner.
Gov. Brown answered the penitentiary
question in statesman (?) like manner.
Said he went in rebel into the conteder-
ate army and came out one. If mis- quote
him it is unintentional. He would not
say who he was for, Cheatham or
johnson, but the Johnson. men know
very well who he is for by the
way he paraded his confederate record.
He said with sneer that Gibson, "a little fell
low down here in the mountains that he
supposed the crowd had never heard of be-
fore, made some charges, but he did not
tell what those charges were. Some of us
thought we knew. He descended to very
WIG tDllntlS lOI OONtIuOlt dS we luOuBiJi
when speaking of some of the Republican
press of this State. He said he was OPP
posed to assessing q general tax for the
support of common schools-that A. H.
Stephens was a supporter of Grant and
could not be relied on at all to prove any
thing political. Told three anecdotes, and
the only one that was respectable had been
but few days before told by Mr.. Maynard
to the same crowd For our part, we are
bound to confess that Gov. Brown comes
much nearer the black-guard than we
imagined any one bearing his personal
name could ever come. He may get the
full Democratic vote OF Sullivan. but we
doubt it. HENRY.

David Richards

The court house was we'll filled last night to
hear workingman's speech from David Rich
ards. We sincerely regret that the extreme
pressure upon our columns this morning renders
it impossible to give the notice his speech de-
serves. In his own peculiar but often eloquent
and affecting style he demonstrated that the
Republican party was the workngman's party,
for it had done more to advance their interests
than any other He spoke Of the great advan-
tages of a tariff for the workingmen and showed
how wages had increased under Republican
policy. 1t was a capital speech bristling with
good hints, good sense and stubborn facts.

of Monroe county speaks for itself:
Every one of the signers is Democrat and

justice to a worthy and efficient public officer.
This is one of the many signs of the great
popular strength Of Col. Thornburgh who
needs only to be known to be appreciated and
endorsed by the people:

DEAR SIR: We desire to say to you at this
;uncture of your affairs that while we belong
to that class of citizens who acted and were in
sympathy with the late rebellion, and have diff
fered and still differ with you on political is
sues, we nevertheless take pleasure in according
justice to an able and impartial public servant,
irrespective of party questions.
Immediately after the close of tho war anG
until recently you were the Attorney General
of our district. When you first came into Of
fee the excitement and i'll feeling cngendred by
the war were so intense and bitter that lfo and
property were endangered, and many of our
best citizens were preparing to leave the coun-
try.
By a bold, fearless and conscientious course
in the firm and impartial discharge of the oner-
Gus duties of your important and responsible po-
sition and by your influence for good otherwise
exerted, you, forgetting the passions and preju-
dices of the times, and standing sometimes AL
most unsupported, and often in personal dam
ger, did more to calm the stormy passions of the
time, bring order out of confusion and restore
good feeling between the Union man andlthe
ex-rebel, than any other one man in our entire
community.
We mako the foregoing statement feeling that
it is endorsed by our whole community, and
that is only due to you that we should mako it,

some ofthese bonds were misapplied, but did
not dare say whether by the twenty-six Demo-
Gratis or the nine Republicans. His defense of
the Penitentiary lease was also evasive. He
argued favorably to the policy of such lease,
and claimed that the lease was public one and
that n chance was given for higher bidders
