In refusing to have anything to do with that rally in Atlanta Friday night last, Joe Brown showed what a sensible man he is. At tpe mention of his name hisses were heard and otherwise some of those in attendance showed their feeling against him. Had he been present , every possi¬ ble means of humiliating bin would doubtless have been resor ted to. The rally was gotten up bv those opposed to Brown, and he did the proper thing in refusing to be present. The Atlanta Journal for some time bus been during him to come out and show himself. Ilad he gone out Friday night, he would have been ex tremly sorry unless he has the skin of an elephant. Joe Brown has shown his eom mon sense a mimber of times, but that his head is level was never more forcibly shown than in his failure to attend that rally in Atlanta Friday night last. —Dublin Courier-Dispatch.
