COURAGE VS.. CowARDICE.

In the persons Of Smith, Brown and
Campbell, our Republican candidates for
the judiciary, we find men of courage
who have submitted their claims to Re-
publican conventions, and unanimously
received the endorsement of their party
after their nominations. Their personal
character, and patriotism TO party and
country, unquestionably recommend
ihcm to the party of their choice, and, as
to their ability, no honest man can raise
a question, mol has one been raised, ex-
cept by the bitterest Of Democratic sheets,
done wantonly, in the face of honesty,
truth and justice, in the interest of Bur.
row, a Democratic candidate for attorney
general. On the other hand, we have St.
John and Burrow too cowardly to come
before their convention, or j convention
of their party. And well they might be.
They well know, they could not deceive
q convention Of intelligent men, but hope
to dazzle the eyes Of the voters by false
pretense, fraud, deception and general
r~ascality. Look out for the INSCRIPTIONS
Mugwump trickster at the helm. Make
your choice of courage and principle on
the Republican side, OIL cowardice and
white washed policy on the Democratic
side. Choose ye for the eight years to
come.

WHO is THE LIAR?

To the charge of cowardice and cruel
treatment of his soldiers, published in the
johnson City dirt-dobber, against Col.
Brown the following has been handed us
as a reply.
Our attention has been called to articles
in the two last issues of the johnson City
Comet charging Col. A. J. Brown with
"bucking and gaging" and otherwise
mistreating his soldiers during the war,
and intimating a want Of courage in the
face Of the enemy on the part of Col.
Brown.
Having served with him In the 9Th
Tennessee Cavalry we pronounce these
and oil similar charges false, and instead
of injuring him. they will cause hundreds
of Democrats to join with the Republi.
cans in triumphantly electing him as cir
cult judge over his opponent, who is
seeking to be elected by the ISLANDERS and
%falsehoods uttered through the Comet, OF
which even the Democrats, who have
known Col. Brown from childhood are
ashamed.

Another Big Storm.

The middle of July matches the middle
of May in one distressing particular. Two
months ago the newspapers were full of
dire weather news. Terrible storms rag
ed both in this country and in Europe.
At Kansas City, Xenia and other points
in the West there was serious loss of life,
and property from a cyclone. A hurri-
cane in Spain was still more destructive.
Since that time the country has been
comparatively free from unusual wealth
or. The winds have been quiet and there
have been no calamities from flood or
lightning. But now again the clements
are aroused. A wild storm has just been
raging in Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and
Pennsylvania, and the lightning has
worked with the tempest. Dispatches
from P~ittsbuig, Chicago, and Detroit
giving particulars of the storm which
seemed to have spent its greatest fury on
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
Lightning, hail and wind wrought great
havoc. Many houses were unroofed or
entirely wrecked had great damage was
inflicted upon the crops. Later reports
indicate that the area of the storm was
greater than at first supposed, and that
Its violence had been underestimate. In
one county in Indiana no less than one
hundred buildings were thrown down,
while in sections Of that State the corn,
oats and fruit are said to be a total loss.

THAT FRAUD.

Some of the Democratic papers Of this
judicial circuit are In agony because the
HERALD AND TRIBUNE does not editorial
ly deny the statements Of fraud in the
nomination Of Messrs. Brown and Camp
bell which they have been making for
some weeks. They base their assertions
entirely upon a letter written to the John
son City Comet published over the sigma
ture of some writer whose name they have
never disclosed. Those statements have
been fully refuted by correspondents OF
the HERALD AND TRIBUNE and other Re-
publican papers over their own names.
What further do the fraud howlers wanti
They have never dared to make any def.
mite statements e~ditorially, and our nebu-
lous neighbor at the Junction failing to
find any further evidence of fraud than
the anonymous epistle published in its
columns, last week ~republished the letter.
The II. AND T. wastes no words over
anonymous letters published with the de-
sign of boosting MISREPRESENTATION
ing the ~canvass) into Office. Then again,
there is no point 10 the letter at all.
Neither the aforesaid letter no the Dem
ocratic sheets (mind you. only Dem
ocratic papers are supporting the
"non-partisan" candidates) have
brought forward q word against the
convention which nominated Messrs.
Brown and Campbell. Why? Because
they can find not the slightest pretext for
SO doing; because they know that the
people from all parts of the circuit were
present at that convention and are fully
Informed as to what was done. But, 60.
ing on the idea that Hawkins county is
out Of the way and comparatively few Of
the people of the circuit have personal
knowledge Of the doings of that conven.
ton they seek to divert their attention
there, avoiding the truth of the matter
which is: The Jonesboro convention
nominated Messrs. Brown and Campbell,
not the Hawkins county convention.
In the Jonesboro convention Andrew
j. Brown was the only man before the
body for the nomination of circuit Judge,
Judge Hacker having come before the
convention and positively withdrawn his
name. II. T. Campbell received a ma
jority of the votes without any dispute
whatever. Both nominations received
the unqualified endorsement of all pres.
ent-they were made unanimous.
The would be Democratic disorganizers
of Republican harmony would do well to
take a back seat. Republicans will not
allow themselves to be taken away one
side and have the wool pulled over their
eyes, by the inventions of Democratic
party leaders.

The Morristown Pilot hits straigh,
from the shoulder at swappers. in the fol
lowing words:
We hear frequent rumors of trading
for votes going on in the smaller districts
throughout the congressional districts.
We put little faith In them. Republicans,
already in the majority, have no need To
embark in this dishcnorable kind of poll
tics. Such matters should, however, be
intelligently and carefully watched, and
where the evidence is conclusive that q
candidate has attempted to sacrifice the
party's nominees, or any of them, for his
personal gain he should be stricken from
every loyal republicans ticket by order
of the local committee and by common
consent. The success of such q selfish
candidate is a worse injury to the party
than his defeat, for it makes disorganiza-
ton creditable and encourages il in
others. Let 1t be thoroughly understood
that the trader is marked for slaughter,
and few will care to attempt 1t. Those
who do will know more after the polls
close. Let nothing suffice except a
