Whether these figures are used to show the
gentleman's preference, or to convey the
facts of the situation, there is a de1niteness
and frankness in giving them out worthy of
commendation. If unreliable they will cut
no figure in the contest, while if approxi-
mately correct they indicate the probable
result,
Surprised by the figures given, because
they differ so materially from other claims
inquiry was made of another well informed
gentleman as to how certain leading politi-
clans in the district stood in this contest,
with the presumption that this might indi-
cate different result, or at least show the
drift of public sentiment. "Hon. A. II. Pet
tibone," said the gentleman, ais a candidate
for the Legislature in Greene County, and is
taking no part in the congressional fight.
Ex-Judges Brown and Hacker are for Mil
burn, and Hon. A. b. Bowman and Hon. A.
A. Taylor are for Mr. Anderson. All the
other gentlemen you inquire about-Chan-
cellor John r. Smith, Chancellor Hugh
Kyle, Circuit Judge H. T. Campbell, Attor-
ney General Dana Harmon, Attorney Cen
eral g. McHenderson, Judge n. A. Patter-
| son, Hon. W. p. Gil)enwaters, Hon. II. II.
Butler, Hon. A. ]. Tyler, Hon. w. Bruce
Bachman, Hon. John NJ. Brabson, Hon C.
Toncray, and Hon. Allen S. Tate-are under
stood TO be for Mr.. Brownlow." The names
given are well known to many thousands of
Times readers, and a two cent stamp will
| enable any Doubling Thomas TO ascertain If
| they are correctly reported. If incorrectly,
they will doubtless be heard from. Compar-
| ing the figures with the sentiment indicated
| by the prefence of the gentlemen named it
would seem that Hon. w. P...Brownlow is
the coming man for Congress in the First
District. He is well and favorably known
in Washington, and his nomination and
election will meet the hearty approval of
host of friends in the city,. from all parts Of
the country.
"What about the reports Of changes and
gains?"
"Well, it's like this" said the gentleman,
ants on log on fire at each end change po-
sition, but gain nothing until they abandon
the log The changes so far may be compar-
ed to the ants on the log. While this illus
tration is as clear as Potomac water. its ap-
| plication to this contest must be interpreted
along with that other political remark, be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea-
am assured" said he "this applies only to a
few men in the First District, ho belong to
the 'old school, whose motto was anything
| to beat Grant,"

Facts That Can't be Denied.

The soldiers and the widows and Or
phans Of the soldiers who died in the
service Of their country have all found
in Walter p. Brownlow an unselfish, un-
failing and most helpful friend. He has
made their cause his own cause. He has
advocated and defended their interests
not only with lip service, which ordina-
rily amounts to but little, but with a
substantial service that resulted in the
dollars that brought them food, raiment,
HON es, the facilities Of education, and
the enjoyments Of life. Thousands Of
needy humble households have been
frightened and cheered by his timely
and cOstless aid. The women and chill
dren of this District who have felt the
warm touch Of his kindly hand lifting
them up out Of the depths of want and
despair, would make regiment after
regiment, marching on to bright hopes
and solid enjoyments. This is the man
who asks your suffrages, and can you
refuse him?-Erwin Magnet

Dick the I'enman.

Dick Davis, the Democrat, who wrote
the article to the Star, has also written
one in behalf Of Mr.. Mllburn to the Re-
publican Banner.
He is indeed fine leader for the Mil
burn forces in Hancock County.
He is clever, good natured fellow, a
good writer and as mischievous as they
make them. We have nothing to say
against him personally, but he is known
as one Of the most bitter partisan Demo-
Gratis in Hancock County. Has named
his boy for Jefferson Davis, the Presi-
dent Of the Southern Confedercy.
We ask: Is he not suitable person
tn sign an article to paper-Republi-
can Fair Play?
Is he not suitable person to call on
the soldiers to stand by Milburn, their
comrade?
He will doubtless prove a power on
behalf of Mr.. Milburn in this county
when it becomes known that he is the
leader of his forces here.-Hancock
Courier,

Taken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success in warding off sickness which
if allowed to progress, would have
undermined the whole system and
given disease a strong foothold to
cause much suffering and even threat
en- death. Hood 8 Sarsaparilla has done
all this and even more, 1t has been
taken in thousands of cases which
were thought to be incurable, and af.
ter fair trial has affected wonderful
cures, bringing health, strength and
JOY to the afflicted. Another important
point about Hood's Sarsaparila is that
its cures are permanent, because they
start from the solid foundation of puri
fed, vitalized and enriched blood. But
1t is not what we say but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does that tells the story.

The PEOPLES and Soldiers, Friend.

Brownlow is the friend of the people
and the friend OF the soldier. He has
proved it over and over again. Nothing
has he left undone that would conduce
to the interests Of the whole people of
the District. No man who has had a
claim at Washington of any character
whatever, and called upon Brownlow to
look after his interest, has been over
looked or ignored. He was constantly
in the Departments working up claims
for the people of the District and he was
uniformly successful in working them
through. He did all this in an unofficial
capacity and without charge. Certainly
his past success is an evidence of the
great good he could accomplish if sent
to Congress.-Erwin Magnet.

ALI Head and Month.

There are very many curious forms
among the fishes known to inhabit the
very deepest portions of the deep sea,
but there are few such unique speci-
mems as that recently reported to the
Berlin institute from the coast of Mo-
rocco. 1t was brought up from a
depth of u miles and was a wonder to
behold. The creature was about 20
inches long, but fully four fifths of its
entire length was head and mouth. 1t
was estimated that if the body had
been severed just behind the hinges of
the jaw ten such bodies could have
been slowed away in its great pouch
like stomach.-St. Louis Republic.

Brownlow Can't Boast of a Barrel.

a,an ,or a mamhsr ~ Cor grass and tic Pc
publicans of this District fully expect the
Nomination of Walter Z. Brownlow, because
he was entitled TO the race given to w. c.
Anderson, and because he has been a tried
and true friend to the party. For the old
soldiers he has given great deal of his time
and has gotten "a great many pensions, and
that without charge. He can not, as one OF
his opponents, boast of his Barrel" gotten
as fees from pensioners. He is poor man
and has no money TO buy votes. He depends
entirely on his merits as worker for the in
terests of his section-East Tennessee. Let
rs elect Brownlow, and we will make nc
mistake.-W. +. Dykes, OF Blair's Gap, In

Bige ow and McHenry.

Milwaukee, May 26.-Frank G. Bige-

the Northern Pacific railroad, have
been appointed by Judge Seaman re-
ceivers for the lands of the Northern
Pacific company in Minnesota and
North Dakota and of all other property
of the company not covered by mort
cages or trust deeds. A similar order
has been entered in the court at ST.
Paul by Judge Caldwell, and the at
torneys leave tonight to file orders in
all the courts along the line, there be-
ing property not covered by mortgages
in every state through which the rail-
road runs. In the order appointing the
receivers, which is in the nature of
supplemental decree, Judge Seaman re-
fers the entire matter to Master Carey
so far as the unknown claims are con-
cerned.
