CANDIDATE BROOKS.
An Incident Which Tends to CorrobOrate
Certain Stories Told Of Him.

Madison Courier. Oct. 81.
/ sea an article in your paner taken from the
Greensburg Standard, in which John A. Brooks.
the Prohibition candidate for Vice-president, is
represented as having said to one OF his parish
toners, aho proposed to enter the Union army:
''You might as we'll 90 to hell at once aud be
done with it.p The article also represents GER
tain Prohibition ministers as having denied that
Mr.. Brooks ever used such language, and openly
declares that Col j. n. Wallingford, of Greens.
burg. was the parishioner so addressed.
Colonel wallinetord's testimony upon this
single item. is. we presume, perfectly conclusive.
But why should any OF our Prohibition brethren
have denied that Mr.. Brooks used this languaeel
And why should so much be made OF this one
iteml Mr.. b. was brought MP In Kentucky, not
very far from rs, aud it is quite notorious that
be was a man of intensely Southern sympathies
and convictions. just before the war Mr.. b.
and the writer of this article, both of whom had
recently commenced preaching. met for the first
time. He had just graduated from Bethany
College, the Institution presided over by Alex
der Campbell. and gave me a minute history Of
Il disturbance, almost a riot. that had shortly
before occurred in the college. A gentleman by
the lame OF Burns had preached a sermon ON
The True Principle OF Liberty" in
which some indirect reference was
supposed to be made TO American slavery.
AT this sermon soout tnirty southern stuuents
became highly offended. leaving the chapel dur
ing its delivery, striking the floor with their
canes and stamping it with their feet as they
went. Mr.. Brooks boAsted to me that ne wss
one OF the thirty. While Mr.. B. was loud in
his condemnation Of the preacher, he laid a
large share of the blame upon DR.. A. W. Camp
bell, q brother of Alexander Campbell, and .
ruling elder 10 the church at Bethany, who per-
mitted the sermon to be preached, knowing be-
forehand the character of it. Mr.. B.. to use his
identical words, styled DR.. Campbell "a burned
old Abolitionist"
But I should add that, ordinarily, in social
intercourse. Mr.. B. was quite a gentleman. He
we'll understood and faithfully observed the
properties of life. 1t was only when the exciting
topic which divided the North and the South
came I'D, that he seemed to loose his temper.
and TO forget mis- profession as q minister and
bis standing as a gentleman.
Having my self heard Mr.. b. style a venerable
elder of remarkable pisty and purits, "a burned
old Abolitionist," for ~favoring free speech, I
could readily believe that he represented the
Union army as the path To hell, even if l knew
less of Colonel Wallingford than / do.

Hovey. who has been in the city
all afternoon. received quite anA OvatiOn, and was
compelled TO shake hands with hundreds Of his sd-
mire 70. In his speech he confined himself
chiefly to pension legislation, and showed
the falsity of Colonel Matson's claim
that he is a friend Of the soldier. Corporal Tanner
made q brilliant speech. keeping the audience
IN q storm OF applause by his telling
hits. The chief interest he excited WIS
when he informed the sudienee that Gov. Gray had
been promised by the administration the federal
patronage in the event Of Clsveland's
reelection, aud that he was In control of the
Indiana campaign. He also gave the audience TO I'M
derstsnd that on last Wednesday evening there was o
grand row IN the Democratic headquarters at India
nspolis, and that Chairman 9ewett told Voorhees,
TO go TO the devil. He also asserted that Mstson and
Jewett came TO blows over the matter, and challenged
denial of the statement. His further remarks consti-
tuted q splendid argument on the tariff. The meet
ing was q most enthusiastic and successful one.
