The prohibitionists.

Baltimore, Md, July 2S.-Prohibi-
in Baltimore to-day. This afternoon
the State convention met in Hazazar's
Hall, and tonight at the Lyceum
theatre the notification committee
appointed by the convention dis.
charged its duty and formally notified
Mr.. Joshua lowering of his nomina-
tion for the presidency.
G. A. E. Shamer presided over the
deliberations of the State conven-
ton. Sixteen counties were repre-
sented by 1876 delegates. Eight pres
idential electors were chosen, and a
State Central Committee was named.
Prior to the grand mass-meeting at
the Lyceum theatre thousand or
more enthusiastic cold-water advo-
Gates, carrying banners and transpar
encies, paraded the streets, and en-
tered the already well filled theatre,
headed by a brass band.
Rev. w. Stewart, of Illinois, chair
man of the notification committee,
notified Mr.. lowering. Mr.. Stewart
was frequently interrupted by APP
plause, and at the conclusion of his
address was wildly cheered.
Mr.. lowering, in reply, read his
letter of acceptance. After the usual
expression of gratitude for the honor
conferred by the party, which he
fervently eulosized, he referred to
the party's record under its banner
of Protection to the Home,e which,
he said, was ''in itself sufficient COM
pensation for the labors and sacrifices
of those heroic men who during all
these years have stood true to the
principles which gave birth to the
party" The platform adopted by
the convention meets his hearty APP
prevail, and, though based on a
single issue, is in reality sufficiently
broad to allow all to stand upon it
who are opposed to the saloon and
its consequent evils, regardless of
their views on any of the other public
questions of the day"
Mr. lowering briefly referred to the
leading national questions-the tariff,
monopolies, etc, but he asked what
hope could be entertained for solu-
ton of these questions from either of
the two dominant parties.
The Prohibition party, he said,
pledges itself as soon as the power OF
legislation were given it, to act on
all these matters as the existing cir
cunstances and welfare of the whole
people might demand.
The time has arrived, he thinks,
when the voters of this country can
trust the interests of the government
into the hands OF the Prohibition
party, having the assurance that
every pledge will be honestly fulfilled.
and that every act of legislation will
have for its controlling motive the
honor of God, the welfare of all the
people, and the good of the country
dear to us ALL"

publican from the First district of
Virginia, where W. A. Jones has been
re-nominated for Congress as the
silver democrat, said that so strong
is the sentiment for silver in the

SOME of Milhurn'S understrikcrs and
hehchmen, to certain KNOWLEDGE.
have entered upon n line of offensive
conduct and bearing that is e doing their
favorite injury. 1t may be that Mil
burn knows nothing Of these indiscre-
tons; we do not hold him responsible
Tor them. We do not complain, as this
course is driving away undecided men
from Milburn, and Brownlow is picking
them up as fast as a duck picks up corn.
II people want n clean canvass; they
do not want a renewal of IA quarrel that
has been amicably settled long ago. If
nothing else will do these men but TO
revile and malign Brownlow let them
proceed with their stupidities. But the
people don't want nor will they have
these silly stories dinned into their ears,
but Will turn away from these men Of
the black and blistered lip with a scorn
and disgust that will tell on the day of
the primary. E%xpediency alone should
teach these defamers that the least evil
said is the soonest mended, and that
there is always sure to be a fearful re-
coil to detraction and Misrepresentation,
And so whatever turn things take the
good work for Brownlow goes bravelv
on.

BRO WNLOWAND Ills OPPOSITION

The argument for Brownlow's- nomi-
nation rests on accomplished, well
known facts. AS a partyist he has made
an exceptionally clear and strong rec
ord. Though never holding an elective
office he has been prominently before
the public for years and all this time
under the burning focus OF a search
light. He has never worked under n
covert, and has studiously avoided all
disguises. He has filled all these wears
with successful labor-partly for himself
n mostly for others. Though DELAYED
n baff1ed aft by the fierce and relent-
less opposition he has always ~encouter-
ed, he has finally failed. At times
he may have been caught in the whirl-
wind of factional passion and been
driven TO extremes that widened the
breaches in the party, land what Re-
publican did escape the wild storms
that we have had since '7S?) vet no
man has done more, yea, no man has
done as much, to heal these breaches and
to soothe the distracting irritations that
followed them. Others have alwas reaped
where he has sown, and after waiting
and waiting and suffering himself to be
thrusted to the rear again he now pro-
poses to be the beneficiary himself.
Brownlow has been BETRAYED and
butchered in the conclaves of men whom
he has befriended and who had no re-
serve in asking for his favors, but now
that the tribunal of the people is to sit
in Judgment upon his claims, he is be-
yond the reach of the assassin's s~tiletto
or the ingrate's baseness and trrachery.
His nemies have lost the opportunity
to get in the work of their fine Italian
han For this very reason Brownlow
the primary, and through the
influence of his friends had the Norris
town Convention committed to his plan
TWO years ago. Brownlow is opposed
by two classes of Republicans. The one
class is controlled entirely by spite and
envy. Spite, because Brownlow would
always stand to the men that the party
wanted and was always loyal to the
party DEGREES, no matter who was adj
vaneed and who was relegated. Envy,
because of Brownlow's superior leader

TIE 7R UTU o II,

.~JoNEsBoRo, Tenn, March ia fair
sized crowd of Republicans and a few
Democrats of this and surrounding
counties met here today to hear W. T. +
Mllburn, Republican candidate for Con.
gress, speak. This being Mr.. Brown.
lows home, it had been predicted there
might be a a disturbance, but the sneak.
ing passed off quietly.
Here is the truth about it. 1t was Mil.
burns appointment and Brownlow met
him i'll debate and literally demolished
him.
Mllburn was treated with the greatest
courtesy and kindness by Mr.. Brown
low and his friends. They listened at
tentively to what he had to saw. If there
was any apprehension of a disturbances
we never heard of it. Such a dastardlv
would have been frowned down and act
suppressed at once. Brownlow's friends
are not a set of hoodlums and outlaws.
They are order loving, law abiding men.
II are embraced in the best citizenship
OF this county. Milburn can not com.
plain of his treatment here.

WHAT HE rs AND WHAT HE rs
NDT

Col. Brownlow is not a Webster in elo-
quence, a Clay in craftsmanship, a Blaine
IN debate, a Roman in faultlessness, o
an Apollo in beauty. Nor is my one
else nowadays that we know of. He is
a PLAIN, u%nassuming citizen, with strong
affection for his friends and moderation
Tor his enemies. He is II twin brother of
all "the boys in the trenches" and never
so happy as when he can serve their in
terests. He never asks any compensa-
ton for these good ollices-the happi-
ness of the served is the only reward the
serNltor expects or wants. For fourteen
years he has been a practising attorney
III all the departments at Washington:
by MS direct, personal efforts more back
pay, bounty, property and pension
claims have been allowed than through
all other agencies combined, and vet not
one dollar of these allowances has found
It's way into his pocket. Had he have
charged what other attorneys grabbed
as a hungry dog grabs a hunk of meat,

houses and lands" and a national bank
beside 1t required unwearied applica-
tion' incessantdiligence and painstaking
thoughtfulness-it cost time and money
that rightfully belonged to himself and
iamlly-to perform these gratuitous
services in behalf of the people of this
district AS the proof stands Col. Brown
low is not IA stingy cuss," caring for
nothing beyond the qualification OF n
hoS's appetite. He has not cried, "Oh.
the poor soldier" and then fieeced him
outot his scanty pittance and stood upon
the street corners and the rostrum and
thanked God he was true to the flag.

Nearly Unanimous for Brownlow in
Hancock.

Brownlow has steadily been gaining
strength in this county ever since the call
of the primary, and should the current drift
as IL has for the last six weeks, | can't see
that Milburn or Anderson would have
enough supporters for one Judge and one
clerk at each voting place in the county. In
conversation last week with a prominent
Democrat of Blackwater, whose preference
Is Milburn, he expressed the present situa-
ton as follows: you had as well try TO turn
n cyclone with the wing of a frizly rooster,
sail across the sea on a single, make a lad
der of fog, chase a streak of lightning thro'
a crab apple orchard, swim up the rapids of
the Niagara river, raise the dead, stop the
tongue OF an old maid, melt the devils nose
with an Iceberg, destroy the equilibrium of
the earth With a gnat, change the mariners
compass with that bogus letter of the Star,
bring order out of chOas and Republican fair
play out of Democratic rascality, as to try To
prevent Brownlow from carrying nine tenths
OF the vote of Hancock County in the prl-
mary Since my last letter several changes
nave been made IN this county, and every
one of them for Mr.. BrownlOw. The district
at this place, the 18th, has only three Mil
burn men in IL, the 5th only 4, the 4th and
llth not more than 8 and - respectively.
Nearly everybody is saying Browniow is tile
man for Congress this year.-H. X. r. Herd

A SPECIMEN F1LSEHOOD
The Rogersville Star SAWS:

In quoting something from it recently
against Milburn, Mr.. Brownlow in his
paper called the Newport Weekly Mr..
Anderson's official organ.
If the Herald and Tribune is referred
to this statement is UNANIMOUSLY untrue
Mr.. Brownlow is not its editor. He does
not write or suggest a line appearing in
Its editorial columns. The is AS
new to him as it is to sapient and pene-
trating unknown of the Star. Mr.. Brown
low has even no business connection
with the paper. He is a substantial pa
iron OF the establishment, paying in
cold cash for what he gets like any other
gentleman. Mr.. Brownlow is mott he
newspaper business. in any relation, but
Is running for Congress, almost every
day on the stump, and is wholly engaged
in crushing Milburn and his forces into
impalpable atoms.

Col. BRowNLow held a Federal office
at washington for years with a moderate
salary attached. For a man of his plain,
economical habits this salary was ample
to keep him and his dependents in easy.
comfortable circu instances. But this
salary was almost entirely eaten up by
by the outlay required to meet the de-
mands for his services in the various de.
partments at Washington made by the
people of this Congressional District.
His main support came from clerical
and other services performed for the
leading Republican members of the
Senate and House. In the matter OF
postage alone he spent hundreds of dol
lars. Time in Washington to a man,
who will work and knows how to work.
Is the gold itself. But the most of Col.
Brownlow's opportunities in this line
were cheerfully sacrificed in attending
to the urgent requests that deluged him
from this district. Through his instru-
mentality hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been sent into this country.
Many a cherries home has been made
happy. Many q claim was paid that
otherwise would be lying in the dust and
mildew of the Government archives.
Col. Brownlow never asked or received
a cent for these services.
