THE REASON WHY.

"Why is it that every newspaper in This
Congressional District that is D
ing Milburn, has at its masthead the
name of H.. Clay Evans for Vice Presi-
dent, and is supporting him with a vim
Tor that position, while on the other
hand, not n paper in the district that is
supporting Brownlow, including his
own paper, the Jonesboro Herald and
Tribune, has at its masthead the name
of II. Clay Evans for Vice President,
ana has W said a word for him for
that position? We ask again, why is
this"-Morristown Republican.
To which we reply: Why is it that
the MilburE papers are supporting Mr..
Evans? Simply because they knowthat
Mr.. Milburn has no strength of his own,
but is attempting to ride into Congress
on the strength Of Mr.. Evans popular
'ity. The Herald and Tribune, Mr.. Brown
low and his friends, so far as we know,
are now and always have been for Mr..
Evans for any office to which he may
aspire, from President down. We are
also advised hat the friends of Mr.. An
derson are equally interested in Mr.. Ev-
ans and his success as we are; but both
Mr.. Anderson and Mr.. Brownlow, as we'll
as their friends, have too much respect
for Mr.. Evans and too much regard for
his future usefulness to the party and
the State to want to drag him into u fac
tional fight in order to advance their
chances for a nomination to Congress.
Further along in the same article
from which the above was clipped, oc-
ours the following:
"Republicans, remember that il Mr..
Brownlow is nominated in the primary
on the 18th, then a delegation to both
State and National Conventions will be
sent from this district which will oppose
the nomination of II. Clay Evans for
Vice President. Do you loyal Republic
cans of this district want to be placed in
such an attitude as that? We ask in all
seriousness and earnestness can you af-
ford it? This is OF the questions you
Republicans of this district will settle
by your votes on the 18th day of April
next"
This is a deliberate, barefaced falsehood.
Whether Mr.. Brownlow is elected or de-
feated, he will contribute all in his power
to the success of Mr.. Evans in II aspira-
tons that he may have, and as far as we
know, Mr.. Anderson and his friends will
do likewise. This dirty, little mean eff
fort OF the Morristown Republican to
drag II. Clay Evans into n factional
fight, in this Congressional District,
well merits the contempt of all. All
gentlemen, whether they be Millburn
men, Anderson men or Brownlow men,
recognize such a course as the act of a
man, who seeing nothing but defeat, is
grabbing at straws to save himself from
sinking.

A TALE WITH MANY SAD moi.
DENTS

The Flying Squadron recently sent
out to capture and destroy the Brown
low corvettes cam to grief with a para
lizing suddenness and completeness of
failure. Everything promised success,
out the promises proved to be like a
sample Of April weather-very treacher.
GUS and deceitful.
One vessel before she got out Of port
collapsed from the rottenness Of a worm
eaten hulk.
On the very first day of the cruise an
unexpected misfortune befell the self
confident commander Of the gay expe-
dlt1on, upon whom such a vast amount
OF solemn responsibilities rested. A CO.
pious belly wash of rotgut came near
bringing on a fatal stroke Of heart fail
ure, and.he was swung in the hold that
he might enjoy his rest with a mixed
company of dripping battle axes, CORY
corpses, grihning skulls, alligators, cro-
coolies lhyenas, pythons, rattlers, cobras,
and boa constructors.
A captain, who was in the throes of a
financial crisis sold his craft TO a dime
museum proprietor whom he happened
to meet on his search for "catchy" Curl
osties.
Another vessel "busted her bilern in
mid stream, covering the churned waters
with the infintesimal fragments of a
total wreck. and no one was left to fur
nish the narrowing details Of the catas-
trophe to the accompanying press agent.
Another vessel, with her ballast i'm
properly distributed, tipped over under
the stress of a squall and went down
mast foremost like McGinty to the bot
tom.
Another sloop meeting up with a party
Of Cuban officers recruiting for the in
surgent army scuttled their vessel and
shipped for the cane breaks of the An
titles.
And still another, and the last, lost her
rudder in bouncing over the shoals
and snags, and leaping on the spine of
two tapping currents was borne to the
shore, where the crew tied her by the
nose to a swinging limb, half masted
the flag, and Joined q party of moon
sinners operating in the neighboring
mountain jungles.
The commander and his ship have
never been heard of since.
In the meantime the Brownlow CO.
vettes have been swinging with the
tide under fair skies and over tranquil
waters, with merry multitudes on board
and nothing to mar the enjoyments of
the voyage. The flag floats from the
top gallant mast and the cry is, "All is
we'll"
Though the opposition has lost its
proud navy and gallant commander, it
still has its splendid literary bureau.

Cor. BRowNLow rose by his W un-
aided exertions from the timers bench
and locomotive cab to the office Of Door
keeper of the National House. In the
meantime he was State and National
Committeeman each for a long term of
years and all the time a prominent figure
in the party councils. This shows OF itself
that he is a man of extraordinary apti-
tudc and versatility, of good sense and
sound judgment. His controlling iphu-
ence is attested by the fact that a resi-
dent of Washington he was cordially re-
ceived into the intimacy and confidence
of the leading minds Of the party, and
these relations still exist.

BOON'S CREEK.

We have had about as much rain
siuce February set in as we had from
August to February, There are several
candidates in this district. Hon. A.. G..
Bowers is out for Representative We, and
If Gus were elected he would certainly
make old Washington County a good,
worthy Representative. Will Saylor
REP is a candidate for Tax Assessor;
but a Republican stands but little
chance for election in this district.
Bob Bowman is also a candidate for
Tax Assessor. 1t is thought by some
OF our best men that Jas. f. Pei singer
will represent Washington County in
the next Legislature. Mr.. Persinger is
a Republican of the first water and if
elected will certainly carry N banner
to victory. Hon. w. P. Brownlow is
the man for Congress. Brownlow
should have represented the District
years ago, and now the good people
say he must 60 to Washington. Mr..
Milburn, of Greeneville, is a good man,
but Brownlow must represent us this
time. The grip seems to be holding
the fort In this section. Rev. George
Cox, of the NJ, E. Church, is holding a
series of meetings at Hale's School
House, two miles north of Jonesboro.
Prof. j. w. Keener OF the same neigh
borhood has gone to Athens to attend
school. Cad Cox has moved to his new
home near Buffalo Ridge. Onks &
Slagle have set their steam mill up at
the old Deakins saw mill, and H. NJ.

PLAIN FACTS.

Assertions amount to nothing. In the
main they cost nothing save the exer-
else of a lively Imagination. Facts and
figures tell; they are what interests the
people.
MI. Brownlow was resident at Wash
ington for fourteen years, and all this
time he was at this bid and call of every
man in the District who had a claim
aginst thelGovernment. Every moment
of time that the could snatch from the
discharge Of his official duties was en-
ployed in visiting the Departments and
looking after claims. Every attorney in
the District prosecuting Government
claims beseiged him with requests to
look after his interest.
Notwithstanding the magnitude Of the
labor thrown upon him, and from which
an ordinary man would have recoiled
and begged to be excused and excused
himself at the start, Mr.. Brownlow un-
dertook to discharge it and discharged it
in a way that brought into this District
oNCi Ohc HllltlOu VI uOllhTS.
Mr.Brownlow's average daily mail was
fifty letters, or Sfour letters. from.each
county Of the District. Besides the Ia
Dor required in learning the status Of
the claims and.expeditingItheir adjust
ment Mr.. Brownlow had to furnish the
postage on the replies of this volumi-
nous correspondence. His,daily postage
expenses would average 81 so per day, or
$45 per month. His salary was made
quate even for his personal needs and to
cover this deficit and to meet this heavy
outlay for postage, Mr.. Brownlow was
compelled to work at night for Senators
n Representatives, and the claimants
scattered by the hundreds and thousands
over this Congressional District got the
benefit of this work performed while
they were enjoying peace and rest in
their wi quiet homes. MI. Brownlow
does not complain Of this, he performed
the service willingly and without ex-
pectation of recompense, but it is . mat
ter of strict justice and right that, when
he asks, a flavor that will not cost those
he has befriended a single zen and the
granting of which will be an immeasur-
able benefit to the District, that he
should be remembered with the graft
tude born Of the honest and faithful
heart.
Whilst Mr.. Brownlow has been di.
rectly instrumental in bringing into this
District owe n million of dollars, other
men got the honor and the cost, and not
one cent of this vast sum ever found its
way into his pocket.

A CARD.
TO the Republican Voters of the First
CONGRESSIONAL District.

Having opposed n primary election as
detrimental to our party, but favored a
district primary convention, and for 9TH
er reasons entirely satisfactory, out not
necessary to be enumerated in this brief
card, | take this method of announcing
that am no longer a candidate for the
Congressional nomination at the pri-
mary election ordered for the selection
of u candidate.
While not favoring, for many reasons,
the action of the Committee in changing
the old and time honored method of
nomination by regularly constituted
convention of the people, l cheerfully
bow to the will Of the majority of the
Committee, and resume again my posi-
ton in the ranks, ready TO battle with
you for the success of the grand princi-
pies in my judgment SO essential to the
maintenance OF good government and
tine restoration Of prosperity to the
people.
For the many 1attering assurances OF
good will and support which have reach
ed me from all parts of the District, | am
profoundly graceful, and will, in the flu
ture as in the past, earnestly endeavor
to merit a coo,inrance of the confidence
so kindly expressed by my friends.
More especially do | feel the full force
Of the obligation under which | am
Ylaced to my own people of the good
and loyal County OF Carter, with whom
live, for the very generous support
they have always given me, and their
assurance of a continuance of the same.
am theirs to command.

ABOUT CANDIDATES

When a man is Oh a hungry hunt for
an office the proper thing to do is to an
nounce his candidacy il the newspapers.
1t is a manly act when you want any
thing from the public to say so openly
and in a way that it will surely come to
their knowledge. The people have con-
tidence in, and respect for, q manly man,
and manliness is just as noble in politics
as in anything else. The politician, who
gains his end by swinging to somebody
else's coat tail, at SOMEBODY else's ex-
pense, by still hunting, wire pulling and
pipe laying, or slips up on the game by
some back way, is not q man destined to
stand high in popular appreciation, and
when he fails his enforced retirement is
permanent.
When a man seeks q political office, he
should not only be we'll versed in the
policy of progress and the fundamental
principals of political science, but he
should have that proficient use of the
tongue that will readily respond to all
his needs on the hastings and in the leg
islative forum. We don't say nor mean
to intimate that he should be a sky
scraping orator, bestriding the constel-
lations and enhaloing himself with the
splendor of luminous worlds, but we do
s~trenously contend that he is altogether
out of his place il he is not able to tell
the raQCnn NJ tha faith Nhat ,,.s, IL. i.
clear, plain, coherent, argumentative
discourse. A Representative, who is a
mere notch on q stick or a knot on a log
save when he draws his per diem and
mileage is a reproach on the party that
dominates and the constituency that
elects him.
The point is that a legislative aspirant
should not shrink from, but persistently
seek, a public crucial test Of his ability
to discuss and explain the public issue
to defend his own and his party's policy,
and if he has anything to offer for the
good of his country to bring 1t forward
lucidly and convincingly. This is an
obligation that he owes to himself as a
justification Of his alleged claim, and in
a more enlarged sense to the people
whose suffrages he asks.
The Republicans enter the National
campaign with the certainty Of a sweep
ing victory. In our State contest the
prospect Of their winning is most exhili-
rating and enthusing. The peculiar
situation is masterful for them, but still
it is OF supreme Importance that they
press into service their very best ma
t~erial-their brightest minds and most
forceful speakers. A brave stand, I'M
wearied vigilance, and an aggressive
campaign by the best talent of the party
in all parts of the State will surely re.
deem Tennessee from the ruin and dis
grace that have overtaken her in her
old days.

THE news from every quarter of the
District regarding Col. Brownlow's can

mansions and is increasing in size,

rank and file in every county are rally
ing to his standard with an enthusiasm
that presages a glorious victory. With
fair play and honest dealing along the
lines of the campaign, the plain and
abiding friend Of the patriot soldier and
the common masses will be ~invincible.
His defeat a only be compassed by
means that decent and honorable men
will not resort to.
