HOW rs THIS FOR. GALL?

Before Brown started out on his sec
ond hungry hunt for the same Judge
ship, he had his jaws armored with
steel and his cheeks mounted with
brass. The handy artist did one of his
best jobs. The cheek of the Govern
ment mule turned pond scum green
with jealousy and envy, and the mule
aforesaid dropped his antiquated mar
rative in fit of melancholy despair.
The armament may last him through
the canvass, but if he often puts it to
such rough usage as he did in sending
out his private letter dated July 10. ito
only few influential men in each
county" we seriously doubt it. We
quote the cream Of this ELUSIVE and
affectionate epistle: "This is perhaps
my last chance and the only hope Of
getting roof over my family. My
dear sir, will you be kind enough to
help me in this effort to rebuild me a
homer"
Is this gall or Ia 1t not? How many
poor devils are there in this circuit,
living in smoking huts pinned to the
mountain peaks and hillsides, with
large families on their hands and not
a dust OF meal or -four In the house
and their meat running wild In the
woodsS How many hundreds, yea
thousands, in this circuit have not a
dollar in money or foot Of land, much
less home! We have no i'll will against
Brown, and sympathize with him in
his recent loss, but what right has he
to call upon the people, in his present
condition, to help him retrieve his bad
luck? The constant parade Of this
misfortune is to cover the multitude OF
his shortcomings II he is destitute Of
means, he is reckless spendthrift and

plated audacity to ask the people to
fortify him against his own improvi.
dence. Ten years ago he bought his
fine river farm in Greene county for
$4,000. He put in his Jonesboro prop.
erty at S2,sOO, leaving a balance of
$4,000. He said after he was elected
Judge that a years salary, $4,000,
would pay his debts. Now in the last
eight years he has received in cold cash
s2,SSO in the way Of pension and $780,
900 as salary for Judge, and has had
the income of one Of the largest and
best farms in Greene county. The
farm is worth more than the price he
paid for 1t, the house not considered.
For aught we eknow or the public knows
Brown has money and plenty Of it. Be
this as it may, 1t is ineffably small and
belittling in Brown to appeal for aid
'for sweet charity's sake" The judge
chip should not be made an asylum for
distinguished indigents as America has
been made the favorite refuge for the
discounted lords Of the Old World.

WHY A COOVENTION?

II Brown had done the manly, decent
and sensible thing, he would have ta-
ken his sad and hopeless case immedi-
ately before the people, without the
irritating delay and supurfuous inter
vention Of O convention. He would
have told them, as he tells them now,
what rich stores of legal wisdom he
has revealed, what elevated tone and
dignity he. has impaired to the Judici-
ary how he has diminished crime and
reduced court expenses" He would
have told them, as he tells them now,
what an unheard of concurrence of
awful calamites had befallen him and
he would have most piteously and
humblywooed, persuaded, ,entrested and
implored them, as he is most piteously
and humbly wooing, persuading, en-
treating and imploring them now to
pity the distress and misfortunes of a
poor old man, whose last chance" is
about to slip from his nerveless grasp,
and no roof tree to shelter the evening
of his day.
Would 1t not be a deserved recogni-
ton of his peerless worth as a Judge
and his pecl less serveses as Republi
can, to relieve him of all further toll,
anxiety and exposure, and build him a
palace home on his fine and large plan
tation, where he could dream away the
remainder of his life in serene and un
disturbed reverie, or in the calm ecstacy

BRO WINS DUPLICITIES.

1t may seem harsh to say, but it is
true nevertheless, that no Republican
can vote for Brown without putting
upon his name the indelible stain of
political disbonor and treachery. By
his refractory conduct he has done
this very thing for himself, and the
Republican who is so misguided and
inconsiderate as to follow him in his
reprehensible course can not expect to
escape the fate that awaits 'the learn
ed and upright Judge" Beaten and

BROWN AS A CURTAILER.

Brown is "a hero in the strife in
more ways than one. But he makes
many egregious, easily discoverable
blunders in one particular, and that is
in not keeping his tales straight. He
deals in lines some body else knows
about as much as he.
His record won't stand scrutiny and
comparison. When a search-light Is
turned upon it, profound astonishment
is excited by the woful discrepancy be-
tween actual facts and Browns claims
and statements.
Brown has introduced himself to the
public as the peerless judge In curtail-
ing court expenses, and upon this un-
tenable ground is seeking to cultivate
a fruitful acquaintance with the voters.
In his unremitting agonies to gain this
coigne Of vantage, and crowd out all
other judges, to pale their fires in the
overpowering glare Of his own, he has
our mingled pity and disgust.
An articlein these columns last week,
taken from the Rogersville Herald and
based on'the records of the Hawkins
County Circuit Court, showed that
Brown, the curtailer, had gotten away,
in that county, with 1864 30 more Of
the peoples money than did Hacke
his immediate predecessor. They botf

ference between the cost Of Hackers ant

tions growing out of the war, and as
a matter of course, and as all old law
yers will testify, litigation was con.
stantly on the decrease.
Brown always souses his No. IA into

ment, sets up claim or "rises to ex.
plain" He uncovers a wholesale choice

his portfolios unnamed and unguarded
and the willy enemy slips in and cap

hand a great variety of flags but no
matter which one he raises, nobody is
deceived. They know Brown is there
by the general appearance OF things.
The castles with which he adorned the
vista of his life have been dismantled,
with here and there bit of wreckage
to tell where his greatness flourished.
He is the victim of his own misguided
Judgment, stalwart arrogance and in
sane cupidity and ambition. His name

Difference in Hackers favor, ,l57 IS
So it will be seen from the figures
that Browns management Of his own
affairs and his conduct Of the Circuit
Courts represent similarly opposite ex-
tremes-the more money he receives the
poorer he gets, and the more he reduces
costs the bigger they grow. The paradox
we present may have at first view the
hue of prejudice to some. but the i'm
preston OF injustice will clear away as
the official figures and Browns own
statements are noted.
