HON. JOHN M BRIGHT

This distinguished Tennessean
was in our village on Thursday Of
last week to fiji his appointment.
Owing to the facts that the train on
which be came was some two hours
behind time. and that Mcfarland
and Randolph had an appointment
here for the same day, he did not
address the people. At night, a
large number OF our people called
on him at his hotel. when he favored
them with beautiful talk of about
fifteen minutes, taking occasion TO
compliment. in the highest terms,
his distinguished colleague, Hon.
VIM. Mcfarland. Perhaps no pur-
er or ADLER man has addressed an
East Tennessee audience since the
war than Hon. John NJ. Bright.

The Morristown Gazette.
WEDNESDAY. NOV. 1. 1876.

EE- This will be our last issue until
after the election. Our next paper will
perhaps be delayed day or two in ord
er to give our readers the result of the
election. After this issue we promise
our readers a greater diversity of read
ing matter, more of general and local
news-and less of politics. We intend
hereafter to bend every energy to make
THE MORRIsTowN GAZETTE the best
Family Newspaper in East Tennessee.
Many persons have been reading the
GAZETTE during the last few months as
a campaign paper, and have thus to some
extent become acquainted with it. Many
subscriptions will expire with the next
issue. We hope to receive many renew
ais from that class of readers. Let US
have your support, and we promise you
a paper worthy of that support.

THE NEGRO.

The negro, so long as he supports
white Republicans. is a pretty good
fellow in the eyes Of the leaders of
the party Of great moral ideas; but
let him assert his rights, and run con-
trary to their interest, and he is de-
nounced as ''woolly-headed states
man." fit only to ornament cotton
plantation, under the management
of good overseer who could use the
lash with dexterity." Yardley, three
months since, was good enough to
be made member of the Republican
State Executive Committee but as
soon as he announced himself as a
candidate for Governor, he is de-
nounced by the Elizabethton Repub-

READ AND PONDER:
The leaders of the rebel Democ-
racy in Knoxville have succeeded in
persuading a sun-burnt kinky- head
ed negro to declare himself candi-
date for the Office of Governor of
the State of Tennessee, and he has
actually taken the stump in Middle
Tennessee to persuade the people
that he is the proper man to fill that
distinguished Office. This dusky and
woolly- headed statesman has been
acting and voting with the Democ-
racy for several years past, and has
now permitted them to make a tool
out of him to assist them in doing
their dirty work. This fellow Yard
ley is a brazen, impudent looking
negro. and would certainly ornament
