clared the Republican candidate of his
party for Congress and will be elected.
The Journal has taken no part in the
campaign and has not been the partizau
Of either OF the candidates. Now it ia

influence it may have will be actively
exerted for his election by a majority
such as the Republicans Of the First
District arc able to give.
1t is expected that the Republicans
will elect their candidate for President
next November by an overwh elming
majority. 1t will be the duty OF the
party to strengthen him by electing
a Republican Congressman. Withou,
this he could accomplish no such re.
suits as are expected Of him. Tennes.

an unfinching champion Of Republi.
can principles. Let Republicans lay
aside their differences and rally around
him as their recognized standard

will be elected by q handsome majority
no one questions. The election over
the strifes engendered should be for

now fall into line and give his hearty
support to the nominee. In this way
only, as rule, can party success be
maintained. -Rogersvllle Star.
While Brownlow is no compromise
man, yet he is true Republican, 6
worthy scion of the old Brownlow
stock, and a man that the masses can
and will unite upon 10 November, and
give such q majority as no Congress
man has ever received before in The
