For the Herald and Tribune.
For COngress..W. p. BrOwnlOw.

The political board seems to be up and
ready to "shoot at"
What is to be the result of the APP
preaching primary? Elections, like YER
diets of juries, are hard to guess at; but,
l can safely guess this far: Brownlow
ought to be selected by a large plural
ity; and am disposed to say that he
will be.
My reasons for saying he sought to
be-" is, that for a large number of wears
past, he has been an acting and active
representative of the people of the First
District at Washington City. In point
of fact his gratuitous services for the
people of the district, for the fourteen
years he remained as an employee of the
HOUSE and Senate, have been more valu-
able than the services of the members
elect from the district, and who have
drawn from the Treasury more than
$4,000.
1t has worked about this way: At
torneys have filed claims for their eli
ents and when they chung fire." Brown
low was the man written to by Attorney
or client and quickly he found what was
lacking or who was failing to act; and
the case went safely through. 1t has SO
happened that we have had no member
OF Congress who knew what and how
to act near so well as Brownlow. If a
post office change vas desired or a new
office to be established in the district
Brownlow was the convenient and eff
ficient nan to call on; and h, W.
failed to act promptly. And, yes, a lit
more: He happened to have so much
more good common and real business
sense than the districts elected and act
ing Representatives, as to find out that
the interests and convenience of the peo-
pie required Pension Examining Boards
IN every county; and, that such could
be arranged without added cost to the
Government; and he secured such or
der. The acting Representative saw
that 1t was too big and good a thing for
a mere outsider to obtain and asked the
department to suspend the order. Again,
Brownlow found out that the manv fine
streams OF the district ought to be sup
Piled with first class fish; and he had
sense and influence enough to secure a
large number Of thousands from the
Government hatcheries; and then. had
little enough, or big enough sense to
give his private time and means to start
the distribution of the fish. That's the
sort of a man Brownlow is; and exactly
such sort of man is needed to represent
the people of the district on the floor of
the House; and when once placed on the
fioor as a regular member of Congress
he ought to be continued quite a num-
Der of terms. My belief is, that if Sc
lected and elected, he will, from the start
prove to be unusually efficient and ac-
tive in successful representing the rights
and interests of the people.

ONE of the hopeful signs for Brown
low is the unprecedented demand for
the Herald and Tribune and the eager
ness with which it is read. 1t is the pa
per of the people and its candidate is the
candidate of the people.
The wisdom of the masses is generally
unerring, and it is upon this fact that
we solely rely for success in this excit-
ing canvass. tits an universal conviction
that Brownlow has never been accorded
what was his due, both on account of
his party service and what he has done
freely and gratuitiously at Washington
for this District, and that now his time
has arrived; that the delay which he
has borne so cheerfully and uncomplain-
ingly, has thoroughly qualified him for
Congressional service, and that the
voters of this Congressional division
will do themselves proud in making him
their Representative. And the people
are certain to prove themselves loyal to
this conviction on the 18th of April next.

ON THE STUMP.

Brownlow made good time last week,
speaking at Tazewell, G|reeneville, Beech
Grove, Hawkins County, Sneedville and
Kyle's Ford, Hancock County, Roane
Mountain and Stony Creek, Carter
County, and Erwin. Good crowds were
in attendance. Milburn was with him,
but Anderson, though invited, did not
put in an appearance. OF course the ru.
MOI preceded Brownlow that he couldn't
speak, and the people came out to see
the Greencville champion literally de-
molish him, but the sovereigns returned
to their homes most agreeably disap-
pointed. They found out that though
the ~uneducated tinsmlth and engine
driver couldn't MARBLE the classic periods
with the silvery rythm of college elocu-
ton, he could talk sense in u simple,
Straightforward way and that is what
they wanted. Brownlow carried the
day everywhere.

IT is Positively UNTR UE.

"The Herald and Tribune and the
other few Brownlow papers in the dis
triCt have been asked to declare for Mr..
Evans for Vice President but up to this
date every one of them is as mum as an
oyster on the subject. We know that
the Blownlow influence and following
in the ~gubernatorial convention two
years ago did all possible to prevent the
nomination of Evans for governor and
did but little or nothing after his nomi-
dation to secure election"
We take this from the Morristown Re-
publican, a Millburn organ, and if it has
no better campaign ammunition in its
magazine than this specimen, its candi-
date is reduced to fearful straits.
This attempt to swing Millburn to
Gov. Evans coat tail is an acknowledge
ment that Millburn has no chance of n
nomination on his W merits.
We are panied and astounded to see
such a misrepresentation even in a Mill
burn organ. We could not have been
induced to believe that the Republican
would so far have forgotten itself in its
fiery zeal for its favorite as to do Brown
low such a palpable injustice and this
paper such a gross wrong as to make
such an %unfounded statement.
But it seems that the Republican, in
its desperation to make what it doubt
less considers a heavy score, is willing
to run the risk of compromising itself
before an intelligent public that loves
integrity and honest dealing; that it is
willing to sink itself in the estimation of
Gov. Evans, who knows the groundless.
ness of the accusation as well or better
than any other man. He will certainly
feel mortified to see his name dragged
into this controversy in such a discredit,
able manner
Brownlow and the Herald and Tribune
have never seen the day nor the hour
when they would not most heartily and
enthusiastically support Gov. Evans for
any position to which he would aspire
We have given Gov. Evans an unself.

occasions offers we shall follow his pc.

upon the universe and all the gods under

THE Millburn Blow Hards remind us
of a clustering little fellow who was a
member of the Legislature just after
war. He was known as "The Dwarf with
the Tireless Jaw" When jokingly re-
proved for his much speaking, he would
reply: 81 know l am small in body
and smaller in mind and l have to keep
up a hill of a fuss all the time to amount
to anything at all" The difference is
the dwarf knew his proper size and just
how far the noise of his horn could
reach.

Can be Counted on the Fingers.

The opposition to Brownlow in Hancock
County can yet be counted on the fingers of
one hand. 1t is seldom that the Republic
cans of Hancock County make a mistake in
a man. They may be termed "sagers,"
"mountain boomers or "Clinchmanites; :"
but they know a man when they make his
acquaintance, and they know where their
interests are in this campaign. Brownlow
has done more for the soldiers of Hancock
County than all its Congressman combined
for the past ten years. Their gratitude and
appreciation will be shown by their unani-
nous vote for him on the 18th OF April next.

MILLBURN ought to be sent to Con-
gress because he worked on u farm. He
quit that, however, and went into the
pension business. The next reason that
we will possibly hear why Millburn
should be sent to Congress is that he
had the measles when he was a boy or
that he courted a country girl that the
old folks wouldn't let him marry.
