Senator BrOwnlow on the County Elections
We have received the following from
Senator Brownlow, with request for pub
lication:
a GARD.
! am reported in different parts of thc
county rs having said "thus" and "sou in
regard 80 the coming August election and
rs having declared for this, that and the
other candidate. ] have not spoken to but
one candidate in the county, viz: Mr..
Gibbs, and in the condition of my health
and surroundings, / do not propose to en-
ter into individual contests. | propose if
J. am able to get to the polls to vote the
regular Republican ticket. But if by means
OF local quarrcls and the running of two or
three candidates for the same office, there
shall be no regular Republican ticket. I
purpose not to vote at all.
w. G. BRowNLow.
Knoxville, July s, 1872.
We regret that such n card from our dis
tinguished Senator becomes necessary. 1t
ought not to be expected that man of his
position, age and physical condition should
take part in n contest for county office.
1t is ungenerous for candidates or their
friends to so expect. Contestants should
settle their differences without appealing
to him. The Senator entertains n lively
interest for the success of Republican
principles, but he has the very best of
reasons for not taking an active part i'm
contest between mutual friends of the
same political party.

their happiness should not thus be destroy-

couple quietly went to Jefiersonvilie, and
were married by Rev DR.. Hutchinson.
After the ceremony the young lady re-
turned to her fathers house, and has re-

when the marriage would be made public
ana the young man would claim his bride.
But marriage, as well as murder, will out.
