covERNoR BROWNS CANDIDACY FOR
SENATOR.
From the Nashville Bsnnerl
The Knoxville ChrORiclC, an ardent
Thornburgh-Msyn Republican daily,
has the following to say in the matter
Of Governor Brown and the United
States saDst TshIp:
Governor John c. Brown is a candidate for
rle Ulired states senate. he aud his friends
rn.uEht 40 would be a capitol stroke OF policy
ramaEe an Endorsement Of his administra-
ton a part OF the party platform aud send
me .s5,,grless Porter" labeled "JOhn {.
Browns administration !" over the state as
an eiector Tor his predecessor Tor henslor'
But Porter nuus q record Is 10 nls way Win
y ayuarl o. meet, SO be cisowns BroEn, re
pud ates The platform upon which he Was
E.1miuat=c, aud turns Brown over 70 Andy
Eohns1u and John H. savage. Poor BrOwnl :
None to do him reverence, no one 10 speak
Tor his administration!
We nave seen no communication as
vet that Governor Brown is 3 candidate
for the United States senate, while Mr..
Johnson aui Colonel Savage have each
uroelaimed their announcement from
the stump. 1t is very true, however,
that the friends Of Governor Brown sre
using his name freely in this cOnnec-
tor. So far as POrteT's allegiance TO the
rresput State administration is concern
ed. il be is under any peculiar Obliga-
zion TO the same, we are at the inst OF Il,
and we do not, fOT a moment, believe
that he is. Certainly, H. placing him
self on the platform OF the nineteenth
OF August, lie did not Obligate himself,
either directly OF by implication, to carry
tie banner Of Brown over the State,
and the warfare OF Maynard upon Brown
is equivalent 70 hitting out into the un-
occupied air, so FAR as Porter is concern
Ell. Governor Brown is altogether alive,
a. vet, sud viii, if we are TO judge from
Judge PoTter's JonesbOrO speech, be at
Pulaski when the candidates speak
there. on which occasion he will
doubtless be INDUCED an opportuni-
~ 10 reply TO any attacks M.
NIavuarl may then venture to make
up3n his administration. Without
rsaekipg. in this connection, to defend
or ceusure Governor Brown, or any fea-
rure OF his administration, We can but
remark that he has not shown any beg
piur Of the question, such as Maynard
shows when hefi,es around Judge Z PJrteT
and the platform on which be stands,
and OPENS his snall-arms on another
and an absent man. II Governor Brown
has done CfficiaI scts that are not popu-
lar OF acceptable, thai Is not to be
charged 10 the account Of Judge Porter.
The governor expressed himself clearly
enough at Pulaski on most points, and
seems perfectly willing 10 stand by the
consequences Of his administra2len.
Judge Porter does not in the least ''re-
pudisteD Governor Brown. He merely
holds to his platform and Maynard to
theplace where he belongs.
RRowNUow CREATES A FLUTTER.
From, the Nashville Bannerl
The ThOrnburgh element is fluttering,
sad and sore peTplexed, and there is but
little hone in them. They claim that
Tie venerable senator had given his sol.
anln word that be would not be a candi-
date. from which it would appear that
De was conferred witl, some time ago
The Thoruburgh Knoxville Chronicle
ailudes TO the fact that ''the Republican
marty. through a convention Of its best

10 he it, candidate for reelection" and
adds: ave feel it fair TO give currency
10 the sentiment they have generally
expressed, that bis action is unfortunate,
iu embarrassing his friends and incTea5-
