"The Boss" Walter P. Brownlow,
republican, is reelected to congress
from the First district, but Editor Cy
Lyle cut big slice off the stalking re-
publican elephant from the East Ten
nessee mountains of Hepsidam. Mr..
Brownlow should now fully realize,
though every man may have his price,
it's oftentimes a good deal less in value
and reality than he may mark it up

The next time we run for Office we

Grover Cleveland's voice in the New
York campaign was worth just 1OO,0OO
votes to democracy. Odell's majority
over Stanchfeld in 1900 was III, 900;
his majority over Coler in 1902 is only a
little over 10000. Democracy is get
ting back to bedrock principles, and as
it goes it gathers in votes. -Chattanoo-

splendid citizen and would make wise

the city upon all occasions.

THE RACE IS OVER.

We started, we ran, we scared EN-.
We finished our race for Congress last
Monday night when we addressed the
largest and most representative audi
ence that ever assembled in the Opera
House in this city to hear any speaker.
The intelligence, the wealth, the man
hood and the beauty of johnson City
were present. 1t was a great ovation,
and man who would not feel joyously
proud of that gathering, has a heart
out of place. 1t made us happy and we
are satisfied.
Tuesday the people closed the incl
dent, but it was a great race, OF course
the Brownlowites were not scared.
They got Pettibone, Milburn and
Mccall to help Brownlow make
speeches just to exercise their lungs.
They made combinations with demo-
Gratis (?) just to keep their hand in.
They turned loose thousands of dol
lars just to put coin in circulation.
They refused to bet that we would
not carry Johnson City and Washing
ton county, because they thought it
was wrong to bet.
They told all sorts of lies about GER
tain fellows falling in line for Brown
low because habit was stronger than
principle.
After all this, Brownlow's 096 ma
jority in this county was cut to 143.
His 800 majority in this town was cut
to 40. His 1851 majority in Carter was
cut to $50. He loses everywhere ex'
cept in Sullivan, and there he gains
about $50, official returns not yet in
This district, since Sewer county has
been added, has about 1000 republic
can majority, and when the returns arc
all in Col, Brownlow will have less thar
5000 majority, and Sewer county will
furnish almost half of the amount. II
Mr.. Brownlow is satisfied with such ar
endorsement after all his wonderful
performances he is easily pleased.
We take our vote to mean that the
people consider us too valuable as {
citizen to send to Washington. They
prefer that we stay here, and now
if they will make our staying easy by
paying up their subscription, all will b.
we'll.
Having been of service to our friends
elsewhere, as swapping stock, we arr
satisfied to be defeated if we could b.
the means of electing one democratic
senator, and are only sorry we coul(
not make it two.
We don't believe that all men are
liars, but we do believe that some mel
are politicians, and the difference is il
favor of the liars.
We have not been fooled o moment
by the politicians in our race. We
knew we were going up against {
double-header as it were-the organiza
tion of two parties and are not at al
surprised at the result. We would
rather be defeated by such machines
than elected by them, and we got oul
preference.
Our experience has been pleasant
and we shall never forget the goot
people we have met and the treatmen
received.
The next time we run for office W,
want to cover the state like a mortgage
We like the way they vote in Middl
and West Tennessee best.

The Voice of
The People

Editor Providence News:
l gather from an announcement in one
OF SOUR contemporaries this morning
that an alleged interview with me is TO
be published tomorrow beg the hos
pitality OF your columns to say in ad-
vance that whatever the article I'm ques-
tion may contain. Whatever Il may cause
me to say. IL is unauthorized and there
fore. in the journalistic sense, false.
III Is obvious from the form OF the an
noEncement that an effort is to be made
10 convey an impression that / am In
some antagonism with the press of your
city, and disappointed with the reception
/ nave received personally from the peo-
pie OF Providence. Permit me. therefore.
TO say emphattcally that | carry away
the hospitality / have always received
here. and that my sense OF the cordiality
or your newspapers Is only disturbed by
the dishonorable conduct OF one OF your
contemporaries
The journal in question published on
Iuesday morning an article which as
signed mean, mercenary and. think, dis
honest motives to me as writer and
public man. and on Thursday added to its
onenee the insult OF asking me to receive
Its representative. and thus contribute TO
It's columns To have done so would have
been TO acquiesce In the estimate which
had been put upon me. and naturally
declined TO place myself In a position so
false and so humiliating.
Out OF this refusal, couched In the lam
guage OF self-respect, but most certainly
not OF self-criticism. least OF all OF self
lauda ton the alleged interview has ap-
parentla' been made. and hence ask you
10 publish this letter today in order 10
meet. and as far as possible, defeat the
tactics OF journalism which would make
capital even out of It's own discontinue.
Such Journalism is think. opposed to
the law of lbel--I am sure II Is opposed
TO the law OF honor. But whatever ex-
traordinary statements may be. put into
my mouth I have TOO many friends and
well-wishers In Providence TO believe that
any serious effect will be produced by
the squirmings OF an editor whose un-
happy representative had to be shown TO
