Good Health

And a good appetite go hand in hand
With the loss of appetite, the system

Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-03-11

ONE Of Milburn's organs says he will
carry seven if not eight Of the thirteen
counties in this Congressional District.
Now here's a daisy-don't know how
many counties there are in the district
and yet a luminary for the enlightment
and guidance of the people. Milburn
hasn't a cinch on a single county, and il
he carries one his strength will have to
increase marvelously between now
and the 18th Of next April. In sorne
counties he will no carry a single pre-
cinct and in many precincts he is practi-
cally unknown. He was much stronger
at the opening of the anvass than he is
now, and his fool friends and strikers are
causing him to lose votes everywhere.
Many Republicans were undecided until
the Evans issue was logged into the
contest, and they were so impressed with
the gross and outrageous injustice at
tempted to be done Brownlow, that they
straightway declared for him and are
now doing him yeoman's service. "A
few more issues Of the Milburntown
Blow Hard and Milburn will be clean
out of the race" This is the exact Ian
guage of a Milburnite-very violent in
his ENTHUSIASM at the start, but becoming
calmer and calmer as he sees the tide
rising higher and higher for Brownlow.
1t is certain that there are seven counties
out of the twelve that Milburn won't
carry. Mark that.

Brownlow and the Soldiers.

1t is claimed by the papers supporting Mr.
Milburn that the soldiers should support
him, because he was a soldier.
We fail 10 see why MIR. Milburn's being a
soldier should give him any preferment over
Mr.. Brownlow. IL is true that Brownlow
did not serve as a soldier, but he rendered
his services and was refused by reason OF his
age, being only IA years of age.
Who we ask were truer to the flag than
the Brownlow's? What man is there in all
this lane that has not heard and read of the
services to the Union of that hero of heroes
William g. Brownlow? What soldier W.
ask ever fought under a braver leader than
Col. James Brownlow? What man in Ten
nessee has o m more for the soldiers, their
widows and orphans since the war, than w
p. Brownlow?-Hancock Courier.

BRowNLow Is much stronger now than
he was two years ago. The field was
combined against him then, but was not
able make q nomination over his head.
He broke the deadlocks in the Norris
town Convention by advising his sup
porters to go for Anderson. 1t was in
this way that Anderson got the nomina-
ton. During all the balloting Milburn
didn't stand in the least danger of being
struck by the lightning. II Brownlow
couldn't get the nomination himself, he
made the nominee. At that time Brown
low was the choice Of the. people. He
would have been victorious in a primary
election. The people were surprised and
disappointed, and by the action of that
convention. 1t ignored their preference.
The situation may have been such that
1t could not have done otherwise, vet
the fact still remained hat the popular
will was not respected. And that was the
doom Of the Republican nominating
conventions. Brownlow's old friends
have remained loyal and true, they have
kept their eyes steadily upon his ban
ner, and now hundreds Of men, who have
never before supported him, are actively
engaged in his behalf and are giving to
his cause a whole hearted service. This
is true of every county in the district
These accessions, though small in one or
two counties, are astonishingly large in
all the rest,

skite befouling his mouth with bias
phemous breathings and vicious vulgar
ties-as il he had been inhaling the fetid
fumes and feeding on the bubbling hell
broths that are brewed in the birthstone
blazes below? Has he been soiling his
character and saturating his soul in
stygian pools Of political corruption
while representing us in the council
halls of the nation?"
Milburn and his insane crowd will
doubtless answer the burning questions
In the Affirmative. But Brownlow aud
his legions of friends and supporters
have Il far better opinion of Anderson or
they would not have put him in the ex-
allied station he now occupies. Brother
Fitzsimmons ought to know and does
know that Anderson never got to Con-
-gress through his own strength. Brown
lows following gave him the nomina-
ton. For the time being he was made
the leader Of the Brownlow wing, and
the inference was quite natural that
when the time came round Brownlow
would assume his old position. Ander-
son, along with everybody else, knows
that Brownlow is entitled to this race
from every consideration Of equity and
justice, and it appears to us and the
body of the people at large that he should
not now have opposed the friend who
made him. His candidacy will not de-
feat Brownlow, it only confuses the is
sue and puts a little more hard labor
upon Mr.. Brownlow and his friends.
Anderson will discover after while that
he has made a mistake-a mistake that
may amount to the total wreck of his
political fortunes.

BRO WNLOW,S TINE HAS ONE

For years and years Brownlow has
beer a t~ireless party worker. He has la
bored in season and out of season, in the
face Of obstacles and amid discourage
ments, for the advancement and promo
ton OF party interests. He has allowed
no considerations to stand between him
self and the success of the Republican
party He has sacrificed the most valu-
able part and the best energies of his
life in this line of effort. During all
these years he has been honored by no
substantial recognition Of his invaluable
services. Other men, who would do moth
ing for the party without they had a per-
sonalinterest in the matter and were to
be specially benefited, reaped the usu-
fruct Of his unrequited toll and persis
tence. They flourished and grew fat upon
what he had provided. In many instan-
ces, these very gentlemen whom he help
ed to Office and the emoluments thereof,
are fighting Brownlow and doing all
they a to defeat him in his present
ambition. They sought and accepted his
saving and without even as much as
thanking him for his support.
They are now exhibiting the same in
gratitude as the frozen serpent mani
tested to the kind hearted farmer. But
in every instance 1t happens that these
ingrates are back numbers; they have
risen, reigned and fell back to their old
level OF obscurity and helplessness; they
have lost their grip on the people and in
seeking to turn the drift of public senti-
ment they are merely whistling down
the wind.
Brownlow's time has come at last.
The opposition of these ingrates inspired
by envy and jealousy, can not defeat
him. 1t only shows to the people the
stuff they are made Of. The people are
not fools. They know what Brownlow
is and what he has done, and what he
can do, and what he will do in the fu-
ture. You can't deceive, mislead and
hoodwink the masses. They are think
ing, weighing and investigating. Brown
low is their choice first, last, and all the
time.
