Hon. u. A. Brown.

Editor Register.
The time is not very far in the fu
ture, when the Democratic party
VIII be called upon to name can
dIuatc for Congress. 1t looks like
Mr. Miller, tho present incumbent
will have no opposition in tho Re-
publican Convention. This is not
because Mr.. Miller is popular, but q
second term is generally conceded.
Mr.. Miller would not have been
nominated at first if thore had been
any thought of his election.
Now L have in mind man who,
if nominated, can put Mr.. Miller to
sleep in single round. L would
name d. A. Brown, Esq OF Jackson
county. MIR. Brown is splendid
canvasscr, natural politician and
is with the masses of the people on
the money and labor questions. Ho
has once ran for Office in Jackson
county-the homo county of Mr..
Miller, and despite tho largo Re-
publican majority in that county,
and bitter personal fight against
him, he was elected Prosecuting
Attorney, in which capacity he
now serves.
Mr.. Brown can quit even with
Mr.. Miller in Jackson county, and
his superior social qualities would
enable him to defeat the present
Congressman easily, as look at it.
