TR UTHFUL AND INSPIRING
WORDS.

A gentleman of lower East Tennes-
see, one of the most prominent citizens
of the State, and a bright, particular
star in the literary world, writing to
the editor of this paper under recent
date, says:
You are making a gallant fight for
Walter Brownlow and l hope you will
succeed in his nomination. If ever a
man deserved to go to Congress he does.
He has carried the party always, and
supported men for the sake of the
party who were not personally entitled
to his friendship. Whoop 'em lively;
l wish was close enough to you to
help you. wanted you to know that
| was interested in Walters success
and that l an watching the Herald
and Tribune"
We regret this gentleman did not
give us special permission to use his
name. He is a Republican without
guile and selishness, and a represen-
tative of that intelligent and patriotic
class who have the highest and best
interests of the country at heart.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-02-05


BY a single shot-ordering a primary
several unannounced congressional
aspirants scattered over the district
were effectually- disposed of. Each
one of this dark hoss"contingent was
greatly in hopes that the old conven-
ton method would be retained and
that the contest of the avowed candi-
dates would be so bitter and close that
neither one could gain the nomination
and he could slip in like a sly fox and
grab the game. These bush beat tiers
got it" between the lower ribs and the
navel, the spot where it would be most
fatal.

HOW COL. sue.
OEEDED.

1t was address, tact, energy, persis-
tence, and that n prudence in life,
concentration, that carried Col. Brown.
low through at Washington. Without
these essentials to success he never
could have commanded the notice, con-
fidence and aid of the party leaders he
never could have accomplished his own
personal advancement, nor done such
good and efficient work for this district.
He thoroughly familiarized himself
with the rules and methods of conduct
ing Government business-enough to
inextricably confuse and bewilder the
common fundamentally discover.
ed himself to all the official heads, and
when a claim in his hands had the
merit of justice and honesty he never
allowed himself to be beaten or bafled.
without compensation and at a great
personal sacrifice he worked" the De
partments with a zeal and assiduity
u%nequaled by a congressman.
With equal e~arnestness and fidelity
Col. Brownlow was all this time &C.
curing a knowledge of the higher ac-
complishments and praver charges of
political life. He was storing his re-
ceptive and ~retentive mind with useful
information for the future. He was
equipping himself for the career of
honor and usefulness to which he now
aspires. He was a student as we'll as
a worker. Under the training and in
.struction of the Republican Gamaliels
at Washington he grew into the full
stature of a politician, learned in the
higher law and ethics of the profession,
and is now fortified by hearty endorse
ments of such distinguished statesmen
as Senator John Sherman, of Ohio,
Senator S. M. Cullom, of Illinois, Rep.
resentative H. w. Blair, of New Hamp.
shire, Ex-Governor and Senator elect J..
B. Foraker. of Ohio, Judge George
Chandler, of Kansas, Gen. s. A. Whit.
field, of Michigan and many others.
Col. Brownlow has served his party
with such conspicuous fidelity and
brilliant distinction as to win the con.
fidence and admiration of its chieftains
and guides, SO that he is always well
coined into its councils and has been
%intrusted with many of it's most i'm
portant commissions.
Nothing succeeds like success"
Where a man has proved himself a
jealous and faithful steward over and
over again, it is not dangerous to trust
him at all times and under all circum-
stances.

advertisement of the Louisville and

special inducements to persons going
to tue Republican National Convention,
to be held in st. Louis, June 10, next.
1t is a pleasure for us to notice this

PLAIN CHAT FOR THOSE WHO
OWE US.

Especially with US the publication of
a newspaper is a pot boiling scheme.
AS to the glory of it, we were stuffed
full of this kind of emptiness long years
ago. This peculiar kind of glory,
bright, ethereal thing airy as a dream
and hollow as a bubble, may be cheer.
ing enough as far as it goes, but right
here we strike the dividing line beyond
which it takes the ''cold substantial
to pay hands, buy material, and pro.
vide food, raiment and shelter. We
are wearing out u patience and
physical energies in a hot aud toilsome
pursuit of that wild, elusive animal
known as the dollar bill" that we NAV
live, move and have our being" and
at the same time owe no man anything
but good will.
There are names of men on our sub
scription books who owe US all the way
up from two to ten dollars. We have
repeatedly offered to take anything
and everything we could use or turn
in payment, and yet there has been no
response to our courteous proposition,
though it involved sacrifice and great
trouble on u part. We have no
doubt that many, yes a great many,
of these delinquents spend yearly for
tobacco, coffee, perhaps for whisky,
and other things they do not need or
could conveniently do without, ten
times the amount they owe us.
You know you ought to pay us, and
we know you could pay us if you made
the effort. To the individual it is a
small amount, to us it is a big sum
amounting to hundreds of dollars. 1t
would lift US right out of the mire and
put us on solid ground. We need it
not tomorrow, not next week, not next
month, not next year-but today.
The time for courteous reminders
and polite insistcnce is about spent,
promises to pay soon have failed with
striking uniformity to materialize,
begging and pleading have been una.
vailing, and in the desperation of the
case we shall be driven to some other
line of effort or altogether lose these
debts.
1t may be that some fine day we will
spring a trick on you that may be a
surprise and a great deal more of some-
thing else that will not be as delightful
as a fine dinner to a a hungry tramp.
If these few lines" awaken you to
a compelling sense of your duty and
danger, our object will have been at
tanned without harm to any one and to
our JOY unspeakable.

Death of an OctOgeanrian.

Miss Emmaline Green passed away
Jan 81, 1896 at the home of D. A. Green,
Brownsboro in this county. She was
eighty four years old and the daughter
OF the late Joshua Green. She was born
and always lived in the neighborhood
OF Washington College. Her life was
reserved, quiet and useful in many ways
the world knew nothing of. In the
years before the war, when Washing.

prosperity and usefulness, the hospita-

young men, many of whom reached
high distinction in the various walks
of life. Among this number was the
late Senator Zeb Vance, of North
Carolina. A few years ago he visited
the college and made an address at
the commencement exercises. The
great changes that had occurred around
his alma mater made the place almost
new to him, but when he visited Miss
Green, whose skillful hands had pre-.
pared so many elegant meals for him
when he was a rollicking college boy,
her appearance was go natural, bring.

Bob TAYLOR, it seems, has lost his
ravenous appetite for ''orfis." When
approached on the Gubernatorial ques-
ton he doesn't respond as speedily, un-
e~quivocally, and submissively as he
used to when the vision of a fat honor
rose up before him, but talks away off
yonder about repairing his shattered
fortunes, ETC." He is sharp in this.
The "peterturnized''conditio of affairs
bristling all over with bludgeons, pis
tolls, theft and bribery deliberately az
tenuates the prospect of electing a
Democratic Governor. And then Gov.
Henry Clay Evans, the statesman, To-
gician and orator, will curtail to the
closest margin the time and opportu.

READY NOW.

After their joint canvass for Con-
gress for the State at Large, President
Johnson was. asked his opinion of his
successful competition, Hon. Horace
Maynard. Losing his wonted acerbi-
tude of feeling against his political
foes and forgetting the sting of his re
cent defeat for the time being at least,
the Great Commoner" astounded and
electrified his questioner with perhaps
the finest eulogy ever pronounced upon
the Management statesman, closing by
saying: "Were the President to appoint
him today Minister to England he
could be ready to start tomorrow,
thoroughly equipped for his duties at
the Court of st, James-the most i'm
portant and eXacting diplomatic station
in the world" Those, who are &C.
quainted with Col. Brownlow's course
and advancement at Washington and
are competent to judge from their own
observation and experiences in politi-
cal life, unhesitatingly and unreserved.

The time is near when the Republic
