WALTER BRowNLow is q candidate
for Congress in the First District, and
should, by all means, have the nomina-
ton. He has been a worker for the
Republican party for a quarter of a cen
fury, ard has built up a fine paper in a
town that ninety nine editors in a hun
dred would have failed in, and the only
wonder is the people have not recog-
nized his fitness for the place sooner.
He will be the right mau in the right
place.-South P%itUsburg Republican.
The scriptures say there is a time for
all things. The people of the First Dis
trict have decided that this is the time
for Mr.. Brownlow to go to Congress. In
behalf of Mr.. Brownlow, the Herald
and Tribune returns thanks to all its
contemporaries for the courteous allu-
sions made to his candidacy.

Mr.. BRowNLow is going to Congress
on his wi merits and claims, and not
on the dement's of others. Put this in
your pipe and smoke it. Then take
your chips off your shoulder, spit on
them and play wet or dry, but don't lie
about the strength of any candidate.
The people are not fools, and know
more than they get credit for with those
who have to whistle to keep their cour
age up. Republicans know that Mr..
Brownlow can do more for the district
than any of his opponents and they are
going to nominate him for Congress.

THE idea that a party with over one
hundred majority in the lower house
Of Congress, can't submit a tariff bill
for passage, without a Democratic eau
Gus, is repulsive to the principles of Re-
publicanism and majority rule. A

less than n third of the House, thus
dictates what shall and what shall not
be passed.
