AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Tomahawk: A prominent Demo-
cratic journal says now is the time to
invest Yes, but the trouble with the
people is they have nothing to invest
Bristol News: The big papers of the
country all say that the times are pick
ing up. We hope so. No material
change in these "diggins' yet. They
just keep "barin" down on us ''lee.
tie" harder every day.
The Comet: Brownlow's opponents
all say that the snap" convention will
defeat him. Well, if that is the case
what are they bowling about?
Rogersville Herald: Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow will be nominated on the
first ballot. The bone and sinew, rank
and file of the Republican party are
for him. His candidacy meets the
hearty approval of his many friends at
Washington; IN this issue will be found
letters from several Republicans of ma.
tional reputation, wishing Mr.. Brown
low abundant success in his race.
The Staff: Chas. H. Jennings has
rapidly made his way to the front in
the race for Attorney General
Knoxville Sentinel: Talk about ex-
citing times in politics, the Houk and
Gibson race does not compare to the
contest now going on among Republi.
cans up in the First Congressional Dis
trict. The following gentlemen have
announced and are in the field after
the delegates. W. p. Brownlow, of
Jonesboro, A. B. Bowman, johnson
City c. P. Toncray, Elizabethton; ].
NJ. Brabson, and w. Z. f. Milburn
Greeneville and w. Anderson, New
port. From indications it seems that
Brownlow has things in about the same
shape that John Hcuk has in this dis
trict. He has the majority of the COM
mittee with him and had an early con-
vention ordered SO as to settle the fight
quick. Then it is understood that Con-
gresham Taylor and ex- Congressman
Il. r. Butler will give their influence
to Brownlow. No man of the entire
lot will be able to secure the nomina-
ton without hard fight.

How is This for an Argument!

After listening to Democratic Sena
tor ayerring that Cleveland S admins
tration was not responsible for the ii
nancial depression and business trouble
of the past year; as it had all occurred
under existing aud unrepeaIed Repub
lican laws; Mr.. Sherman affirmed that
almost the entire cause of the trouble
was the fear and expectation that the
laws referred to would be repealed, and
in their place laws enacted hurtful to
the public interest; and as proof stated,
that under these existing laws Harri
son administration has paid more than
100000, 900 of the public debt, and lett
the geld reserve in the treasury above
100000, 600; whilst, under the present
administration of little more than one
year, instead of reducing the public
debt, it has been increased over $50.
100000
Mr.. Sherman might have added this:
If Republicans can administer bad laws
SO as to produce such favorable results,
they are surely entitled to much credit
and to be trusted with long lease of
power; and if Democrats administer
either good or bad laws with such ruin
GUS and bad results, they should he
pushed from a controlling place as
quickly as possible. P.

| ever read, and know that many a
comrade is for him; but let us not fight
MIR. Milburn, or we might drive scores
of the veterans from Brownlow to him.
By the way, why not send Mr.. Taylor
again, and keep him there. We know
that new members influence in Con-
gress is very limited; and it seems that
in this particular district, as soon as
member remains long enough in Con-
gress to command respect, and make
himself felt, we want to change. The
name of Sherman has been household
word all over this country for years,
why SO? because the people he repre-
sented saw that he was a power for
good to the whole country. There are
perhaps score of others that we could
mention. who have spent almost life
time in Congress, who, if they were re-
tired, would be sadly missed.
Among the aspirants for county of
tices, we find that Jacob Leah still has
some friends, md as to Circuit Court
Clerk the people would almost get mad

mand good share of votes in this Sec
tion. AS to the aspirants for Register,
your correspondent would like to see
Galloway get it; but Sandy was sol,
dier and true to his friends, and we
don 7 see how we could 60 against him,
unless we shut our eyes and turn our
head the other way. As to choice for
Sheriff, think the people in this sec
ton, as yet are at sea; but don t think
they could make mistake in selecting
any one of those who have announced.
| have heard some expressions in re-
gard to the candidates for Judge, and
rs far as am able to judge, there seems
to be pretty equal division of sent
meht between Judge Brown and Ex,
Judge Hacker.
There has been a good deal of sick
ness in this section recently-mostly
grip. We know of no serious cas- at
present. The majority of the farmers
have taken advantage of the mild
weather in January, and are well along
with their plowing for spring crops; but
what encouragement have they in rails
ing corn at 80 cents, wheat ut 30 cents,
and other products in proportion; with
clothing, groceries, taxes, ETC.. as high
as ever they were. Those of the party
in power, don t seem to relish these

Cleyeland'S Plight Illustrated.

DO you think Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy and its failure will hurt him
polite llly?" asked New York Con-
gresham of a fellow statesman from
Mississippi.
1--WE can tell better after while
replied the Spanish moss publicist.
Now might tell an anecdote which
expresses my belief about Cleveland's
come out in this Queen Lii business.
Once when | was about 10 years old, |
was visiting boy about that age, who
lived on neighboring farm. The name
of my entertainer was Sprague. TWAS
dirty, cold, wet day. Just as the
Sprague boy and | were picking our
careful way through the deep mud and
mire of the barnyard, old man Sprague
came out of the barn leading four
year old colt. The colt was full of
high, half broken life, and seemed to
be passing most of its time on its hind
legs. Old Sprague wanted to water the
colt His policy in this aqueous enter
prise was to enthrone himself ON its
back and ride it down TO the neighbor-
ing branch.
whoa, remarked old Sprague in
tone of fury, as he jammed the head
long colt up against strawstack, pre-
paratory to mounting. Old Sprague
was very choleric man, and his bad
temper had come mighty near gettirg
him 'churched' two or three times.
Getting the colt reasonably on all
four of his feet, old Sprague launched
himself upon the colts bare back. He
didn t tarry there moment. The colt
arched his back until it looked like a
hoop, put his nose between his foIelegs,
and then INDUCED in three stiff legged
jumps, which, as a result, sent old
Sprague rolling and tumbling in the
mud of his barn yard. | was awed into
silence by the inhuman spectacle, but
young Sprague almost burts into tears.
'''Did it hurt you, paw" he asked.
"'Well, replied old Sprague, picking
himself out of the mud hole in which
he'd lodged, his face red with wrath,
it didn I do me blamed bit of good. J"

q. q. Stuart for Sheriff.

We were pleased to see the announce
ment of George for Sheriff, and we are
decidedly of the opinion that the time
has arrived for him to have a plate at
the pie counter.
When the war came upon us, George
was mere boy living in Tennessee's S
hottest bed of ebelism-Sullivan Coun.
ty-yet he was not led astray by his
surroundings, but left his home, Joined
the famous Eighth Tennessee Cavalry,
commanded by the late Col. S. K. N.
Patton and was with the regiment
when it was making all its glorious
history, doing mis- whole duty as a SOL
dier. The hardships, sufferings and
privations he ndured-among other
things his feet being badly frozen on
the Stoneman raid in Virginia-has seri-
ously disabled him for life, ,and for which
henow receives only meagre pittance.
A few years ago he accidently fell and
broke one of his legs. These injuries
have incapacitated him for active man
ual labor and the consideration he asks
of the voters of Washington County is
a very reasonable and modest request.
George has natural aptitude for the
work of Sheriff, and it will be no
trouble for him to familiarize himself
with the business lin the short space
of no time" We have nothing to say
in disparagement of Georges worthy
opponents, and if he is thrust aside by
the nominating power, will cheerfully
support either of them. III DISTRICT

Interesting Shellnsh.

The shelltish known as limpets form
a very interesting group, of which there
are many species having worldwide
distribution. Through their ability to
cling closely to the surface of rocks by
suction, they are well protected from
their enemies. The species which live
on the leaves of marine grasses, as
many Of them do, have their sides
parallel, and in this way fit exactly to
the leaves.

high character and station written from

wrote over two years ago suggesting
reasons why Mr.. Brownlow ought to be

1t sometimes happens that men reach

bribery. The constituents OF such find
themselves uisrepresented. twill not
be so il Brownlow is elected. The pco
pies action, if affirmative as now seems
probably, will be alter long delibera-

be an instance OF very rare occurrence,

what kind OF u representative the new
member will make. They will not be
lelt to guess whether he will do or how
he will act. Practically, it will be like
