tasted pretty good, but they just
nibbled at the edge until they heard
about his saying in a speech some
years ago that sorgum stalks were
more valuable than Union soldiers be-
cause you could use them to stop up
gullies with. Judge John denied
that and they proved it on him by
both Confederate and Federal sol
diers. Then Gates put him in the
background and put Higgins on the
hook. He thought he would take on
the mush and try a worm. They
swallowed Higgins pretty we'll, but
he was so little he would slip out and
the hook wouldn't catch. Then
Shields went on himself; Gates fixed
the hook and dropped him in, but
he had the reputation of being so
slick that the cells got Jealous and he
had to wind up the reel. Now they
are using a seine. Luke Lea is car
rying the right end of it behind and
Frank Thompson the right end in
front, and that naturally makes it set
a little digging" OF course they
didn't need much bait TO catch San,
ders. They used a pin hook for him,
and when they caught him they knew
the tadpoles would follow.
Integrity of the Republican Party at
Stake This Year.
But what are we going to do about
it? The integrity of the Republican
party is at stake. Shall we join with
the deserters and ~renegades from on
open foe and make these deserters
the victorious army and put them
where they can plumber us again as
they did when they were in the sad
die? l have shown you that they and
not the present organization were and
arc our real enemies. 1t was these
deser.ers and boilers who were in
power when we were robbed anu
%plundered, it was these ~deserters who
held up the Republican party in
Knox County and robbed it of all it
had; it was these %deserters who
toyed with the ballot box and made
us stand on the outside while they
counted the vote.
Why, don't l know them? Frank
! L lOIlDSOu Is HOI WGdIlu6 a WIZ. Ills
head looks just like it did when he
was Chairman of the State Democrat
ic Committee handling the whiskey
mems money against me as the can
didate of my party for Governor.
And in the county of Haywood he al
lowed me to have one vote. But
Frank is sometimes generous. He
gave me two votes in Lauderdale
County.
| know all of them, and l say to
you now when you promote these men
and give them the power, the Republi-
can party will be just where it has
been on the outside. That is what
Sanders wants. He doesn't want an
aggressive, party. He wants a party
that he can dominate-a party whose
patronage he can dispense. Not a
party that he can belong to, but a
party that belongs to him.
But they answer this by saying,
"Littleton is a Democrat" l am a
Republican always, but l am with the
straight Democrats always against
the deserts. l will not join a little
band of guerillas. The regular army
for me rather than the hushwackers.
But Brock calls on Republicans in
the name of the immortal Brownlow.
Shame on Brock for such a traves-
!, ty.
When poor Brownlow, the noblest
/, man who ever lived in all the tide
of time, lay dying yonder in the splen-
did home for the soldiers of the I'm
ion, and when the proud and vener-
able old patriots of East Tennessee
stood with bowed and uncovered
! heads and tear-stained cheeks to get
! some cheering word from his bedside,
! the loved ones about him bent over
! his face to get some comforting word
, and almost with his last breath he
whispered: 81 trust that my friends
will see that my political enemies do
! not undo the work | have DONE
Meaning of BrownIow's Dying Words
o to His Friends.
0 What work? They couldn't tear
e down the great buildings he has dot
ted about over the district like Sc
n many sun flowers in a great and beau
S tiful garden; they couldn't mutilate
: the record this brilliant man had
# made as. Congressman from the dis
trict of Andrew Johnson.
d What, then, did he mean?
d He knew the nature Of his enemies
o he knew that they had hunted him
It like a sportsman hunts wild game;
he knew that when he was gone thai
S they would, if they could, destroy the
a organization of which he was the heaC
n that they would put their arms around
