Mr. Brown's Denial

Editor Union : Io yonr issuo of Aoguat 24th, you say that it has been talked in democratic circles for more than a year past that my public career was ended, and for two reasons: First, because I did not vote for Hon. Joseph E. McDonald for United States senator; and second, because I brought home certain Reports which 1 did not pay for with my own money. In reply permit mu to say that the first charge is true. I did not vote for the Hon. Joseph E. McDonald. The second charge is false. A statement appeared in some of the newspapers when the legislatnre adjourned that some* of the members of the legislature had carried away certain books belonging to the state of Indiana. Who made that report, or by whose authority it was made, Ido not know. On the evening when the legislature adjourned I was absent and the books on my deskwerenotreturned, but an arrangement had been made by me for their return, which was done a few days afterwards. Any person stating that I brought home any book or anything else not belonging to me tells a positive falsehood. Respectfully yours,

GEO. H. BROWN.
