announced in the Jackson papers as
a candidate for Judge of the 9Th Jul
dicial circuit, subject to the decision
Of the Democratic Judicial Conven-
ton. We welcome Judge Brown to
the ranks Of the Democracy the
party Of the people. Ina letter from
Parkorsburg. to the Cincinnati En-
quirer, of July Sd, we find the follow
ing:
The Hancock boom will get them
all. Judge Robert S. Brown, formerly
Judge of The Jackson County District,
and one of the most noted jurispru-
dents in this State, and the leading
power Of the Grecnback party of this
section, has renounced his allegiance
to his former faith, and now an
nounces himself in favor Of Hancock
and English. He will be strong
acquisition to the Democracy, and
will bring hundreds along with him.
The bitterest enemies of the Dem
ocratic ticket for this county, are
compelled to speak in its praise
The most strait-laced stalwart Re-
publicans have no words Of censusei
againstany of The candidates. They
know the record of every man on the
ticket is unassailable, and that is
what worries them.
The point is well takenl "In work
ing for the election of Gen. Hancock,
says the New Haven Register, @the
Democrats have not one word to
waste in his defense" There is moth
ing in his character that calls for
u defensive campaign. He is not
entangled in any Credit Mobilier
scandal, DeGolyer contracts, or kim
dred matters. Educated at West
Point and an officer of the Army he
has always borne that dignifed and
unsullied character that is the honest
pride of American officers. Not one
word Of apology is needed for our can
didate. The canvass can be conduct
ed aggressively, must be conducted
aggressiyely.
State elections will occur this year
as follows: Alabama, first Monday Of
August; Arkansas, first Monday of
September; Vermont, first Tuesday of
September; Maine, second Monday
Of September Colorado, first Tuesdry
of October; Indiana, Ohio, and West
Virginia, second Tuesday of October;
California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia, November 2; Georgia,
November 8.
The Grant leaders will in all prob.
ability sulk during the campaign.
Don Cameron refuses to accept the
Craftsmanship Of the Republican
Campaign Committee, and says he
will not work himself into perspira-
ton over politics this summer. The
other third-term boomers seem to
have as little interest in Garfela's
success. Indeed they appear to
count on his defeat, in which case
they think they will have no difficult
ty in nominating Grant in 1884.
The Monitor says the Democrats
are circulating dirty lies throughout
the county. This is the first init
nation we have had Of it, Ii telling
the truth on the Republican party is
lying, then Democrats have been do.
ing SO. There is no need of lying
about Republican nominees, and
their party. The truth is sufficient
for all purposes. But speaking of
lies, there is none who can beat the
Republicans lying, the editor OF the
Monitor not excepted.

Some Of the Bourbons laughed at
us for saying last week that the Re.
publicans would carry this countyby
500 majority Monitor.
Was it not enough to make the
people laugh? The idea of carrying
this county by 500, when the party
cannot poll thousand votes in the
county.
II. j. Jewett, one of the candidtes
before the Cincinnati convection, is
