BROWNLOW'S WORK.

Jerry Edwards, OF Jonesboro, belong
ed to Co. +, list U. S. G.. ii. Artillery. AS
a carpenter at work in the line OF duty
he VAS severely wounded during the
wal in the presence of Lieut.. Daniel
Wells. He filed a claim for pension
and was required to produce the evil
dence OF Lieut., Wells, this he could not
do, because Mr.. Wells could not be
found. Edwards and his attorney. j.
X. p. Hall, tried every way to find this
officer but could not. Not being able
TO prove the wound by any one else and
being unable to find Wells the claim
was rejected. Some time after the re
lection Jerry Edwards mentioned the
matter to Mr.. Brownlow, who took up
the matter and found Lieut.. Wells in a
few weeks in an obscure village in
Minnesota. Wells at once made aft
davit of the facts. The case vas reop-
ened and the claim OF Edwards allowed.
He says but tor Mr.. Brownlow's work,
he would never have secured his pen
sion-more to follow.

AFTER a visit to West Tennessee last
October, during which we met a num-
Der of leading Republicans and Peoples
party gentlemen of influence in their
localities, we wrote an editorial favor
ing cooperation with the opposition to
organized Democracy in Tennessee in
the elections of 1894. The Knoxville Re-
publican of last week has an excellent
article on the subject, and favors a
Supreme Court ticket composed of two
Republicans, two Peoples party and
one Prohibitionist. If these three par
ties can agree on such a ticket, they
have the numerical strength to elect it.
BY such a court the infamous election
laws would be declared u~nconstitu-
tional and the people OF Tennessee made
free. The same mail ALTO brought to
our table the South Pittsburg Republi-
can with a splendid editorial in favor
of cooperation with the third party.
These are pointers, but time is flying
delays are dangerous. If any thing is
to be done somebody must move in the
matter. Who will assume leadership
in such an enterprise for the Republi-
can party. Where are the State Com
mittees of these parties?

WE notice that the Morristown Re-
publican and Rogersville Star oppose
an early convention to nominate Il can
didate for Congress. Chancellor. Circuit
Judge and Attorney General in the up
per circuit. Just why the Repub lean
advocates an early convention or pri
mary in the End circuit for Circuit Judge
and Attorney General and opposes an
early convention to nominate candi
dates for the same offices in the LIST Judi
cial circuit, is a matter beyond ourcom-
p%rehension. 1t seems to us that Snat
is sauce Tor the goose" ought to be
sauce for the gander. The candidates
for Congress and candidates Tor the
Judicial offices in the upper Circuit and
Chancery divisions opened their cam
paigns for the nominations about five
months in advance of any former con-
tests Tor the same offices. The people
are now ready to render q verdict on
all these gentlemen and we see no rea'
son for waiting longer. The sooner
the death sentence is passed on some OF
the candidates the better it will be Tor
them and the country. Let the work OF

CONGRATULATIONS

As minated two weeks ago, three
thousand extra copies Of Che Herald
and Tribune go cut this week reaching
every poslofhce in the Congressional
District. We congratulate The many
thousand Republicans who nay see
this issue, on the fact that i, contains
the most complimentary endorsement
OF Hon. w. Z. Brownlow that any pri-
vate citizen ever received at the hands
OF such prominent party leaders, AS the
writer's Of the letters on our fist page,
The assurance given that his nominr-
ton or Congress means the presence OF
several OF these distinguished gentle
men in this district this fall to address
our people on the issues of the day, is
an honor never before bestowed on the
loyal people of upper East Tennessee.
When such men as Senator John Sher-
man, of Ohio, whose reputation is world
wide; Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of
Illinois, who has served in the House
of Representatives, twice Governor OF
his State, and twelve years in the Sen
ate; Senator F. b Stockbridge. ot Mich.
igan. who is worth ten million dollars:
Ion. Henry w. Blair, now in the House
of Representatives, II Senator from New
unmpSbira for tyvalua yoo,c nnI nnthn,
of the Blair educational bill: Elk Gov.
j. B. Foraker, of Ohio, the sill 81
tongued orator of the West; Hon. VIM,
Malone, an Elk Confederate General,
but for years a staunch Republican U.
S. Senator from Virginia, and now
Chairman OF the Republican Executive
Committee OF his State; Judge George
Chandler, of Kansas, -irst Assistant
Secretary of the Interior during Presl'
dent Harrison administration, and
Gen. S. A. Whitfield, second, and after
wards First Assistant Postmater Gen
eral under President Harrison.
When such distinguished gentlemen
as these, without solicitation, honor a
private cit zen, as they have honored
Mr.. Brownlow in these letters by refer
ence to his long and faithful service in
the interest of our people, and the Re
publican party, and manifest such in
terest in his success, is it not time fol-
our people with II acco d to bestow
the nomination on Mr.. Brownlow, and
thus receive the promised presence OF
these speakers, by which our district
will secure a position in the front rank
of national Republicanism. to which
her loyalty and patriotism during anC
since the war fully entities her.
Read the letters referred to on oul
first page, and when you have reaC
them hand the paper to some other Re
publican that he may know what the
leaders of the Republican party of tn,
nation, think of our next Congressman
Walter p. Brownlow.

l ask a short space in your valuable
paper, in order that | may make a
brief reference to the history of one of
the candidates for Circuit Judge. In
doing so l do not desire to in any way
detract from the merits of the other
two aspirants. | have known Judge
Hacker from childhood. We grew up
boys together, having spent our early
years within a mile of each other and
it would be most fitting for me as an
early friend and acquaintance to speak
out for him in this contest. His early
life was spent on one of the poorest
farms in Greene County, on which he
worked until he was nearly grown.
Afterward he found his way to Tus.
culum College, wuere he educated him.
self, working for the farmers SatuI-
day and vacationsa and teaching school.
He was known then, us he is now, as
"A man OF strong religious convictions,
in all matters putting his trust in
God. Just as he left college the dark
clouds of war we're gathering in our
political horlzo he had little anbi

heartily responsed to the Union cause
and joined with his neighbors in pre-
pairing for the great conflict. Early
in 1861, he made his first effort at pub
lie speaking in behalf of the Union.
His neighbors met and organized a
military company and elected young
Hacker as its captain. He drilled
them as best he could under the stars
and stripes until the company was
compelled to disband on account of
the presence of General Leadbetter
and a large force of Southern troops.
He be anne from that time forth IL
refugee until he crossed the fountains
and became a regular soldier. In or
der to reach Kentucky, he wadrd
creeks and rivers and underw ent ell
the hardships common TO those peril
Gus times. They charge that he has
grown rich. This is not true but what
ever of financial success he has had, is
due TO his own industry and peiseNer
ence and certainly not to any advan-
tages he possessed in early life, and
his example should STIMULATE the >o-
ter, for if he has been financially sue
cesful himself, he would certainly he
the better qualified to manange the
financial affairs OF the public. | 10
not desire to cast any reflections upon
the other aspirants but | do say that
Judge Hacker has nc peer in this race.
There is no doubt now about his Re.
publicanism and never has been. lie
has always done what he could tc
keep down d%issention and promote har
mony in the Republican party. The
people can do no better than nominate
and elect him as a Criminal Judge.

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Bristol Courier: DR.. Jacob Leah who
has been Clerk of County Court of WASH
ington County, Tennessee, for several
years, is a candidate Tor reelection,
subject to the action OF the Republican
convention. He is one OF the mostcon
genial men and perhaps the best Clerk
that ever served in that position in
Washington County. No man has more
friends in his county than DR. Leab,and
no man deserves more If a Republi-
can is to be elected--and that is the
inevitable in Washington County-Dr.
Leah is the man for the place. The
Courier hopes and believes that he will
prevail over all the rest of his tribe.
