rs III MAN.

We stand pat upon all we have said in
advocacy of Col. Brownlow for Con-
gress. "The force Of our remarks" ia
keenly felt by those who are u%nfriendly
to the cause, for they know we have the
record behind us. The appreciation of
the leading Republicans in the State
and the National Capitol is warm, hearty,
unqualified and assuring. We have Just
entered fully upon the discussion with a
very large amount of the material still
unused. 1t may be said that we belong
to that large class of the silly who are not
to be held responsible for their stupidi-
ties, yet it remains to be said in the
same connection that no one has dared
to controvert a single point we have
scored. We give the enemy, our special
friends, great credit for this wisdom.
Col. BrownlOw is the best qualified man
in the field. His natural wit is bright
ened by observation, his shrewdness is
sharpened by experience, his preparation
comes from a long and familiar inter
course with the political magnates Of
the country at Washington. 1t would
require at least two terms for the most
alert and discerning Congressman to
acquire the necessary practical knowl-
edge that Col. Brownlow is now master
of. 1t takes the brightest Representa-
tive n term to find out what he is in
Washington for. By that time the fog
.
begins to lift slowly and he may be able
to find his way through the mazes from
II wing of the Capitol building to the
other. 1t takes another term to famili-
arize himself with the red tape system
of Government business and to so meth
odize his outside work that he may have
opportunity to prepare himself for in
telligent action in the forum. Col. Brown
low can step right into the harness and
move out like an old stager. His quick
perception will readily catch the drift,
and instead OF the buncombe of the
demagogue, the ridiculous fustian of the
blatherskite, and the iridescent vagaries
of the dreamer there will be the calm,
plain, sensible reasoning of the thinker
and investigator.
Col. Brownlow knows little about the
glamour of politics and cares a great
deal less-its business features and prac-
teal uses wholly engage his active
thought and diligent inquiry. In these
latter days, when everything is moving
on new lines of progress and new poll
cies must be formed to meet the condi.
ton constantly arising out of the growth
and expansion of our country, practical
solid, common sense business men are
alone demanded. The cheap John ora
tor-the small politician is a misfit in
these times. Col. Brownlow's qualities
and qualifications exactly fill the mea-
sure.

rank OF teachers by the splendid work
they have done in preparing the young
minds under their care. how to grow

which is u recommendation to them
for future work. The Boons Creek

organized force of earnest, determined,
sanguine men. They can trust a leader
who has never been soured by defeat and
whose ardor has never been cooled by
any disappointment. With growing en-
thusiasm they rally around a leader who
for years has borne the party flag thrc'
the thickest of the conflict. who has been
loyal to every party obligation, and who
has stood unflinchingly for the rights of
this district. They are laboring for the
deserved advancement of a man who

"OH, the Democrats are for Brownlow,'
says the little man, for the want of some
thing worthy to be called an objection.
This is not unnatural, nor is it ground
for suspicion that a calamity is about to
overtake the country. The Democrats
are as much.interested in having a good
Representative as anybody, and if the
CHI arge be true, it is to Brownlow's credit

THE only chance that the opposition
has to defeat Brownlow is to convince
