constant practice, and attained to emf
nence in his chosen profession, having a
wide and ever increasing practice being
called to assist in conducting important
cases in many places outside of his own
city and county. His success and popu-
arlty among the people of all classes. and

not of his ability alone, but also of his
high character and untarnished honor.

In poht!>s, going cut and making Demo.
cratic speeches even before he was of

victions, and the sacred cause of the
masses as against the classes. He has
never been ambitious for place or office,
though he has freely given his time and
energies to the service of his party III
almost every campaign. His nomina ton

and undesired. by the unanimous and in

value to the state of having men of honor
and ability to represent them in con-
gress, who will not prostitute their ta,-
ents to the service of trusts who have
convictions and the courage to maintain
them, will quietly and cordially vote for
Mr.. Brown. His election will bring honor
not to this district alone. but to the en-
tire state. For his election every Demo-
crat III the district can and will labor
With the greatest zeal and enthusiasm,
and trusting in the business of the cause
he represents, his undenied fitness unim-
peachab.e character and great popularity

success
