Attempt le to Enter Three Artie vllle Residences Gewge Stuart to Sloak I or Prohibition .Murderer of Walking: Boss Not Yet 'Captur ed. 1 Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevllle. Sect 13. The police of Xshevllle went up against another series of attempted burglaries early thia morning. Tlie police were Just congratulating themselvea that in the arrest this week of four aeir-coniess-ed robbers and burglara they had broken up the gang operaing here abouts when the call came for offi cers. The burglaries were attempted In the milling section of the city and the officers alter putting "Hope," the bloodhound, on the trail allege that ttare would-be burglar hit a westbound freight after attempting to enter three residence. ' At least this was the evi dence that "Hope" handed out wlren she Is alleged to have trailed the burglar from the, scene of his last operation to the railway trestle. ; The burglar, after Tailing to enter two houses, repaired to a residence on Hill street. He had carefully cut awny a rose bush from the "window, forced the aash: raised thewlndow and had one foot end his heal and shouldera through the opening when he came In contact with a bed occu pied by the Idy of the house. ' The aforesaid lady, was awakened and, aeelng the ' outlines , of a man through the window, gave one long, piercing scream. The burglar promptly va moosed and In hurriedly extracting his head and shoulders dropped his hat. He didn't stop to recover the headgear, however.nd this article la now in the hands of the officers. . The first gun In the Interes of "cold water" will be fired hejre Sunday af ternoon when Rev. George W. Stuart, the well-known evangelist, will ad dsess a mass meeting at the city audi torium, both afternoon and evening,' In the cause of prohibition. ' The women of aheville have now taken the lead In Interest and activity In the approaching election and are dally holding prayer meetings and other services. They have organised for the fight and.it is expected that on the day of the election hundreds ft women will be at the polling booths to lend courage and enthusiasm to the temperance cause. It Is said that money has already been bet on the result of the election and that the betting is even. From the best souces, however, It looks as though sentiment favors prohibition and that unless this sentiment Is overcome lor the advocates of the saloon out-general the temperance people on the day of election the days of the open saloon In Ashevllle are numbered. The name of the walking bossklll-' ed by Georg Shelton on the con struction works of the Pigeon River Railway this week was Gin Grlsch. Grlsch came to this section of the country from Pennsylvania, and had been in the employ of Hunt, who has the contract for constructing a por tion of the railway to Sunburst, for several years. So far as is known here Shelton has not been apprehend ed. After killing Grissh it is al leged that Shelton went to camp and made the statement that he had slain the walking boas and that , ha , was going to another camp to kill the walking boss at that place. Those to whom he recited this story had not nearj or me murder and did not be lieve the man's story. However, Shelton did not visit the camp which he alleged that he would.

On the fifteenth day of December, 1875, the House of Representatives of the Fprty-fourth Congress Voted, 233 yeas, 18 nays, on the following resolu tion, offered by William M. Springer, then a member from the State of Il linois: -. ' , . : . 't " 't "Resolved, That In the opinion of this House,"tha precedent established by Washington ahd other Presidents of the United States In retiring from the presidential office after their sec ond term, hast become, by universal concurrence; a partof our republican syetem of government, and that any departure from this time-honored custom would be unwise, unpatriotic. and fraught with peril to our institu tions." , t No Democrat is recorded In the neg atlve. Garfield, Hoar, Hale, . Kasson, and ,Kelley voted In the agrmailve. Blaine and Cannon did not vote attt!L The most distinguished names record- - J I I e hi aeaiivo were jay nuooeii and Page, of California, re-enforced by the colored members from the South ern States yet under the bayonet. ; Gen. Grant wasr then President but his administration was not successful or popular. Scandal attended Its ev ery step and corruption lurked In ev ery department It was the dav of credit mobllier, of Sanborn, of Leet attd Stocking of the whiskev ring, of the. Mulligan letters, of the Belknap impeachment. The active candidates for the' succession were Blaine. Mor- ton,.Conk-ling and Brlstow. Sayes was a receptive candidate. It was Blaine against the field, with Conkllngv the favorite of the admlnletration, which would have been more than content with Morton. In some quarters it was feared that Blaine would get the ' nomination despite all - op position, and then 1 it was that a third-term movement was not on foot. But fate ordered It other wise. TfheV Mulligan letters were ex ploited a few weeks before the con vention, and Blaine ihad sunstroke af ter the convention assembled and be fore the balloting. - The opposition gathered around Hayes and he got the nomination. -r ., , . Tllden was elected and deprived of the office by means of perjuryi forgery, bribery ah d '"theft Gen. Grant went abroad, circumnavigated the globe, and was accorded honors, by Christian and pagan peoples alike, such as no other American ever received. Though about the best administration of our history, the Hayes regime was not only unpopular, but odious, due to the fraud and corruption of which It was the spawn. It took the bayonet out of the South, and what of carpet-bag-gery that escaped the penitentiary fled from Justice. - Specie payments were resumed and about that time the G. 0. P. proclaimed the blasphemy that it was in partnership with Almighty God, and the American farmer who would have a good crop must vote the Republican ticket. , . Not one intelligent man of a hun dred, whatever his politics, supposed the Republican party had the slight est chance Of electing' their ticket in 1880.. Thl belief was based on the expectation that the Democratic party had a little speck of sense left and would re-nmlnate Tilden and Hen dricks. Then, in a' tit of desperation the elite, the Old Guard, the Tenth Legion of the Republican party, tunn ed to Gen. Grant and set on foot a thlrd-.term movement that was appa rently irresistible. Cbnkllng, Camer on, Logan and Carpenter were, the leaders of It. New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois -were behind them. Gos sip said thr many of the Southern Democratic leaders contemplated join ing in the 'movement. It failed by the narrowest accidents. Grant got back from "abroad two months too soon. The Republican convention drove a coach and four through the' unit rule. Matt Carpen ter was on. his deathbed. Ellhu Wash burn deserted Grant. There was trea son In the New York.and Pennsylvania delegations. Hoar, chairman of the convention,was for anybody to beat Grant, foridranfa election meant Ben Butler's. bo&s'-shlp In Massachusetts. It wag the greatest of our political con ventions, with the possible exception of tljat at Charleston la 1860. Conk ling could pave had the nomination at any stage, and he would have been the nominee ihad he been made of the clay of which Garfield was made. Sherman would . have; been the nominee If Baine had not realised that Sherman was his own master. If Don Cameron, chairman of the national committee, had practiced half the czarlsm Tom Reed visited . on the Fifty-first Con stm. Grant would have been nomi nated, end there was gossip for' It that, if .Cameron had complimented Wlndom on the earlier ballots, with a score of votes from Ihe ranks of the 306, Grant would have been nominat ed.: . --" '.; -r-But Blaine nominated Garfield, and Conkllng elected hlmthe Democrats havmsr accomplished the impossible and perpetrated the unspeakable In rejecting the old ticket-1 No sooner was the election over than Blaine kid naped G-arfleld, nd kept him in Ori ental ward. The political destruction of Conkllng was plotted and achieved. To do this the admlslntratlon present ed little Hahmie's head to Ben Hill on a otoarger. The administration was going straight to destruction when the assassin's bullet did its awful work. . "When the Republican national c6n ventlon ' of 1880 adjourned It was supposed " that this coun try ; would not . again be agi tated by the third term specter for a century; but ln 1907 the most popular Suggestion in -American politics is a third term for Theodore Roosevelt, and If tfhe Sixtieth Congress should Vote'on the Springer resolution next bttjf White Star (7 X unable to find r -' ' " attend to every .part of our buggies ahd we. guarantee to have used-in their manufacture only the highest grade of materials.

' Roosevelt Is lightly thevmore versatile; Bryan Is possibly set "a lit tle digginer."', Roosevelt would put the octopus In Jail; Bryan would have the government turji ' octoipuB, Bryan proposed that the octopus should get a national license to do business, with the stipulation ' that Its rights ' and privileges should be canceled and its goods and chattels confiscated If it did more, than two -thirds of the aggre gate business in Its line; Roosevelt proposes a national character for (.the octopus, and Bryan answers thai that la violative of States' rights, though he favors the Beverldge child-labor mis chief, that is an annihilation of States' rights to say nothing of government ownership,' which ' turns- the republjo Into an empire and the Initiative and refrendum, which 'Is radical revolt tion of our governmental system. These two men are"? the absolute masters of their, respective parties. No wonder men marvel about what makes a Democrat, and no wonder men mar" vel about what makes a Republican. There are a dozen different answers to both these, speculations, jio two at all alike and every- one. exactly correct If Cleveland is a Democrat what Is Bryanf If .Roosevelt is Republican, what is Foraker? It Is no further f rom Rlchard-Olney to Ben Tillman than It Is from Nelson W, Aldrtohvto Robert M. La Follette. Senator Knox and Governor Cummins are no more in accord than are Isidor Rayner and Ar kahsaw Jeff Davis. Jerry Simpson, when a Congressman from Kansas, Joined, the Democratic party because he was In accord with It, and William A. Pefter, formerlr a Senator; from Kansas, Joined the Republican party because thej G. O. P. had turnedtPop. The Republican party . Is going to nominate for President In 1908 one of two men Roosevelt or Taft No other administration of our History ever dabbled more In party politics than Roosevelt's; no other ever played the game so skilfully. The convention will do whatever Roosevelt dictates. Just as the Democratic convention will dance to whatever tune. Bryan pipes. It may be 'that Roosevelt has irrevo cably made up his mind not to accept the nomination under any circum stances, but if his desire' for It were as Importunate as was Clayi, or Douglas', or Blaine's, of even Fair banks', he could not play the game for himself more adroitly or more fortui tously than he has played It. The de mands come from all quarters.. The average man, whatever nis pontics, believes that Roosevelt will e renom inated and- re-elected. Mr. Bryan lends force to this view. Only awhile ago he had nothing but commendation for Roosevelt's states manship. Noiw.Mr. Bryan discovers a tender solicitude for States' , rights, which he says , are 'noi'afe, In Mr. Roosevelt's keeping. Can this be be cause Mr. Bryan has come to conclude that Roosevelt Is the man he twill have to beat? Qult;Hkely.,' I do not be lieve Mr. Bryan would run against Roosevelt He lfas lately acquired the art of retreat. He has parted with a deal of his Intrepidity. He tried to run away from government ownership; It would be as easy for him to part company with the shadow under the midday beams of July's torrid sun. H even attempted a modiflcatlonof the Initiative arid referendum, and failed to get away from that also. He cannot run away from Roosevelt, if Roosevelt is the nominee. He Is boss ' of the Democratic (party all right, but he is not boss enough to take the nomina tion if there Is a chance, and reject It If there. is no chance. That would be carpet knight-errantry. Would Roosevelt ' (be Invincible? Quite likely against , Bryan. .But whenever a political party nominates a candidate for a third term- In the White House, It will be tantamount to a declaration that 'Its membership contains but 'one man fit for the pres idency, and whenever the . country elects a man to a third term In the White House It will be tantamount to a declaration-that our enlre citizenship can furnish but one man fit for Pres ident !: , Nobody knows how,deep-eated la that conviction 'In tfle public mind.
