BRIGHT CY LYLE OF THE COMET
Will Oppose Colonel BrOwnlOw in the
First District.

For the reason that Hon. Robt. Bur-
row was not in q position to accept the
democratic nomination for congress in
the First Tennessee district, met at
Greeneville on Tuesday afternoon for
the purpose of naming a man to oppose
Congressman Brownlow this fall. The
committee was not long in deciding up
on man. They nominated Mr.. Oy H.
Lyle, editor and publisher of THE Com
EFT, johnson City.
Mr.. Lyle, who is secretary of the
committee, was present, and accepted
the honor, with as many happy smiles
as could we'll find expression on his
genial face.
A telephone message from Greene
vile last night indicated that the COM
mittee was highly pleased with its Sc
lection, and felt that Mr.. Lyle would
make winning race. Mr.. Lyle is a
brotherin-low of Hon. Robt. Burrow.
He is lifelong democrat, and has
been advocating the cause of democracy
through the columns of the paper that
was founded by Hon. Robt. l.. Taylor
and Judge Chas. J. st. John.
Mr.. Lyle is personally popular and is
very affable and congenial of manner,
being considered even a more winning
mixer than is the Hon. Hugh Gouchen'
hour, who came very near defeating
Congressman Brownlow al few years ago
1t is understood that Bright Cy, al
he is aptly termed by the Immortal J
NJ" has already set purpose to make
winning canvass, and that he will en-
ter actively into the work of organizing
his forces. He is quick and witty il
conversation, and can more than hol(
his own at repartee with the best. Tt
say the least of it, Mr.. Lyle is versa
tile, wholesoule fellow, and was cleve
enough, when it came to the postmas
tership at Johnson City, during Cleve
lands last administration, to wrest tn
honor from all corners.
1t is safe to predict that CHE COME
will rally enthusiastically to the supper
of Mr.. Lyle, and that, whatever may b.
the outcome, he will run fine race il
his own county.-Bristol Courier.

Since Robt. Burrow has declined to
accept the democratic nomination
against Hon. w. 2. Brownlow, the
committee has found an intrepid dem
ocrat in the person of Cy Lyle, of the
Johnson City COMET. OF course, Cy
won't be in it, although he is noisy and
loud. -Jellico Advance Sentinel.

The wish of The Sentinel seem
about to be realized that. the first OF
the year. the people of the city would
witness the ground breaking for the
new Pyritic smelte.. Yesterday
there arrived in this city several of
the gentlemen who will be actively
engaged in the building and operation
of the proposed plant 1t is prom
ised by them that work will begin
almost at once. and the work so long
anticipated and so long delay ed seems
almost sure of fruition. Never has
this paper for one instant doubted
that ultimately a smelter would be
built in tnis city. 1t did not expect
that those who undertook its promo.
iion would have easy sailing. 1t an.
ticipated that there would be many
difficulties to overcome. many
knockers to fguratively slay and
then time would still be required.
But its faith came from the fact that
no other location in the entire area
of western Colorado, presented as
many natural advantages. But even
to these this paper did not pin its
faith. Too many times in the his
tory of the west have natural advant-
ages, when mainly relied upon been
