and will give him a rousir big vote

in this county: Shortly after attain
ing his majority | > defeated the Re-
publican nominee for circuit clerk 262
votes-and this same Republican had
been elected four years previously by
454 votes. A few years later Brewster
was the Democratic nominee tor Rep
| rasentative, and although defeated,
ran far ahead OF his ticket. At this
time he received IS votes mor than
William j. Bryan for president, and
202 votes more than Mr.. Cowherd for
90 ,ernor. This year not a Democrat
was elected in Jefferson county. His
popula. ity among our people has
grown rather diminished since that
time, .
And above all other qualifications
that 90 %eminently fit Brewster for
