stand at Rogersville. - Greeneville
Democrat.
G. H. Lyle, editor of the johnson
City CTenn. COMET, has been nominal
ed by the democrats of the First con-
gressional District of Tennessee to OPP
pose Representative Brownlow in the
race for congress. Editor and Publish
er, New York.
Cy Lyle is running for congress in
the First district. 1t takes money to
run for congress and the democrats of
the First district are to be congratulate
ed on nominating an editor. They al
ways have plenty Of that essential
London Record.
Cy Lyle persists in treating his can
didacy for congress in the First district
as good joke; and it will be conceded
that Cy knows a joke when he meets
one in the middle of the road. People
can not help laughing at his jokes
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
The Memphis Morning News says of
Col. Cy Lyle in congress: "When Cy
Lyle, of the Johnson City COMET, goes
to congress he will no doubt supply a
long-felt want by passing bill ena-
bling editors to get money out of the
banks upon taking theipauper's oath.
Judge Cy H. Lyle, editor of the John
son City COMET, has been nominated
by the democrats of the First congress
sional district of Tennessee to make
the race for congress against W. P.
Brownlow. Judge, here's hoping you'll
down the boss -Burnsville(N. @. Eagle.
Editor Rule says: "Mr. Brownlow
has appointed some nominal state com
mitteemen. Fortunately their duties
will be small. Mr.. Brownlow will moi
give them much to do" This shows
how much voice the rank and file of the
republican party in this state have in
its affairs. rcial-Appeal.
"PheIim" writes from CARRIERS to the
Herald and Tribune as follows: I'll
Our Cy' does not promise to make the
two Cherokee creeks navigable for good
sized boats, from their outlets to theil
souaces, he need not count on many
5 republican votes within their bounda
ries. Dry Greek and the Horse Cove
are also expecting appropriations fol
the same purpose"
Cy Lyle is welcome to all the honol
! he can get out Of his candidacy for con
gress. These are the crumbs that fall
to the lot of the toiling newspaper man
Oy is most companionable and socia,
} BILE man, and if a democrat should ever
be called upon to represent the First
Tennessee district, we'd as soon see
him as any one else. It is no small
honor to run in the same race with the
incompatible Brownlow Bristol News.
Last Monday the two congressional
candidates in this district, Messrs. Lyle
and Brownlow, addressed large audi
ence in the courthouse yard. Mr.. Lyle
was the first speaker, and considering
the fact that he had so recently receiv-
ed the nomination, and the time for
preparing his speech was so limited, il
was good indeed. IT was full Of inter
esting points and many heavy blows,
especially in exposing the record of his
opponent in the late judicial fight
Rogersville Review.
Cy Lyle, editor of the Johnson City
COMET has accepted the nomination on
the democratic ticket for congress in
the First Tennessee district. Cy is
gifted with CAB and, in fact, talks loud
and voluminous. He is also fluent
writer, but with all these, Congressman
Brownlow will salt him down in great
style. Cy will find out after the No
vember election what task it is to
make o race against man of such ma
tional reputation as that won by Mr..
Brownlow. He will make as good q
subject to offer as a sacrifice as any one
his party could select. -Cookeville
Mountaineer.
Mr.. Brownlow may not be uneasy
about the candidacy of Editor Cy Fl.
Lyle for congress in the First district,
but it means more than might appear
on the surface. The public generally
feels that Mr. Harmon was elected tc
{ the judgeship at the August election.
, The voters are conversant with the de.
termination of the politicians to see
that whatever else might happen, Mr..
| Harmon should not have the judgeship.
[ The thousands who supported Mr.. Har.
mon and who feel that he was undoubt-
eddy elected are not going to forget in q
day, and what they will remember is
! not merely for the sake of Harmon's
