it is no easy matter to show New
York. To our list of show places,
whatever they may be, we must add
the new waiting room at the Grand
Central Station. When strangers go
there they cry 'Enchanting!"
"Grand!" "Palatiall" "Purtiest thing

worldl" Amt it splendid" etc. Mr..
Daniels has reason for the new elas-
ticity in his step.-"On the Tip of the

VIC PASsSul tOudy d portrait Oh
Hon. ]. B. Brasher, of Hopkins cour-
ty, who is in another column form
ally announced as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress in the Second District.
The estimate set upon his party
claims at home, is set forth in the
following article reprinted from the
Madisonville Hustler:
"Mr. Brasher will enter the con-
test with all the energy with which
he is possessed and with the full
determination Of landing the prize,
The people of Hopkins county
who are familiar with Mr.. Brash-
er's indomitable will power and I'M
firing energy will know his entry
in the race mean sfor his competitors
hustling race from start to finish
with ever probability that he will
be successful.
Jno. b. Brasher is a man of the
people in the broadcast sense of the
term. His sympathies are with the
plain common people and his public
career has been undeviation devo-
ton to their interests and welfare
at every point of the line.
He was an original Bryan Demo
GRAFT and ardent champion of the
old 'White Metal" While others
stood aside ITO await the trend of
events in 1895, he boldly took up
the cause of free silver and the
matchless Bryan and forced fight
ing in every nook and corner of
Hopkins and adjoining counties.
In recognition of his splendid
party service and splendid person
al qualities he was nominated and
elected county clerk of Hopkins
county.
That he has been a gallant lead
er Of democracy in Hopkins county
is known to all, and his champion
ship of the party's cause during
the several years when its suprem-
acy was threatened in state and
county has endeared him to the
lovers of his party wherever he is
known. When the clouds were the
blacklist and weaker wills quailed,
John B. Brasher stood forth at the
front fighting with a grim persist
ence which never recognized fear or
failure.
He is a Christian gentleman, So
Der, moral, straightforward, earn
est, true-courageous as a lion or
gentle as dove as occasion may
require. Generous to a fault, no
cry of distress ever fell on his ear
unheeded. Jealousof the fair name
Of his party, no man ever assailed
it without a challenge from him.
AS an orator he possesses many
elements of great power, chief am
ong which is his ability to reach
the hearts of the people and arouse
them to a sense of their right. Du-
ring the campaign of 1900 he made
speeches in different parts of the
state for Bryan and Beckham, and
his efforts were highly appreciated.
On the stump his foemen will find
a competitor worthy of their steel
and out in the bushes be is perfect
ly at home with the best of them.
If nominated he would make an
aggressive fight for his election and
if defeated he would do likewise
in behlaf of hisIcompetitor and his
party. If elected he would make
the people a painstaking practical,
industrious and honorable member,
whose acts both public and private
his continents would have cause to
be proud of.
The democracy Of Hopkins coun-
ty will rally as one man to his sup
port for the nomination and cheer
fully commend him to the favorable
consideration Of the democracy Of
the entire district as being in every
