rambling TRADE OF one James F. Brown. which
has been severely criticised, and by none more
severity than by ex-confederate soldiers, many
of whom reside here and as a rule vote the
democratic ticket. They say if he is . speci-
men OF the District democratic politician he
had better confine his missionary work to other
fields than the sixth district where he Il Ger
tainly not appreciated, and where such
harangues do vastly more harm than good
