The Republicans and Temperance

Tn the report of A, uo;,.on county
caucus of Republicans over at Nash
vile Thursday, Foster V. Brown is
quoted as Directing to an outright in
dorsement of the Adams law because
it would look like indorsing a demo-
cratic policy. So that is the depth of
the Hon. Foster V. Browns love for
temperance legislation, and it must be
understood that he was not speaking
solely for himself but for his party. He
was the acknowledged representative
of Congressman Brownlow, and the
latter is the Republican party in this
state. Mr.. Brown, speaking for Con,
gresham Brownlow, opposed an en-
dorsement of the Adams law, because
il was passed by Democratic Legisla-
ture.
The clash came on over the selection
Of the committee on resolutions from
this district. Mr.. Sharp announced
that he had intended supporting Mr..
Brown for that place, but in as much
as he Brown was not in favor of in
dorsing the Adams law, Mr.. Sharp
transferred his support to Newell San
ders, and the latter was chosen. The
majority report of the committee on
platform contained this reference to
temperance legislation.

has always been In favor of temperate
