COMPOUND OXYGEN.
Home Treatment.
XTTH ARE PERMANENTLY LOCATED IN
TV Asheville, N.C., ,
Office on Main Street, Fulllam House, first floor.
We make a specialty of treating Consumption,
Asthma, Bronchitis . Rheumatism, Paralysis,
Chorea, Neuralgia, and, in fact, all chronic dis
eases, ana ail oiseases resulting irom an impover
lsnea conan:on oi tee Diooa.
If vou are able to walk to the office, you CAN
be CURED, as many are being cured by onr new
treatment. We use in addition to the Oxygen, th
Medicated Vapor.
In this way we can treat the lungs locally, as
we vaporize all medicines; and the patient in
hales the vapor, holding it for a short time in the
lungs thus the msdicine held in suspension in
the vapor is deposited in the air cells, where it is
taken up by the blood. It not only produces the
I ocal efiect desired, but
A CONSTITUTIONAL EFFECT.
If you have any kind of Lung disease, come
and consult us. We will not charge you anything
lor consultation. - N
THE OXYGEN GAS,
breathed two or three times day, will restore
you to perfect health, though you may tbink
- yourself beyond the reach of remedies. There is
not the least danger connected -with the treat-
- ment. The effect is pleasant, and the result
permanent. - -
For Asthma, it ia a specific as much as Quinine
s for chills. If you have Asthma, it will cure you,
and the relief is almost instantaneous.
- NASAL CATARRH,
onr treatment will permanently cure you.
We have been using the
OXYGEN
AND THE "
MEDICATED VAPOR
. for some years, and in that time we have cured
. hundreds oi cases of Consumption after they had
rcpeatel hemorrhages, and were given up
by the best physicians in the land.
- - NO MEDICINE GIVEN. .
All diseases treated locally. Quit taking lned-
- icine. Come to our office, and get nature's
remedy, -
COMPOUND OXYGEN.
We also pay special attention to RECTAL DIS
EASED. PILES, FISTULA. FISSURE, AND
RECTAL ULCER. .... .
We have an entirely new treatment, that is
painless; the patient need not lose, one hour from
.. business or pleasure. We do not use the . knife
er litgatare, or the carbolio arid injection. We
can CURE you, and are willing to INSURE a
CURE, if you so desire.
NO CURE, NO PAY! :
We send the HOME TREATMENT - with
chemicals to last two months for SIS. We do not
publish TestimonalB, but on application will
' lurnish any number of post office address, man
ners of patient who have been cured under our
treatment. Consultation free.- -

Mr. Rich was declared the nominee.
At this juncture Col. A. II. Baird arose
and said :
Mr. Chairman :
Having been solicited by many friends
to allow my name to go before this con
vention for the office of sheriff, I said
to them I was handi capped by holding
a government office ; but " had ' always
been a democrat, had never turned my
back upon the party nor voted for an in
dependent in mr life nor did I intend to,
ani l would consider it cowardly to re
fuse the nomination if tendered - me. I
have received at the hands of this con
vention 16 voted,' and as I have not so
licited a single man's vote I consider
those I have received as highly compli
mentary, for which I return my sincere
thanks, and will say to them they could
not have complimented a more thorough
or truer democrat or one who could feel
more grateful to them for it As to those
who saw proper to cast their ballots
against me, -1 can only say they have
chosen a good and worthy man, andone
who lias as much claim upon them and
as deserving of their support as I might
be considered to be. I have no fault to
find for your course - and - know it . was
through no unkindness to me, for I fully
believe you are my personal friends. As
a token of my sincerity in what I have
said I will now make the motion that the
nomination of Mr. Rich be made unani
mous. - . - - '-
This motion was very gracefully sec
onded by Col A T pavidson, who had
placed Mr Chambers in nomination, and
the motion was carried with great en

Col. Davidson seconded the nom
ination of Mr. Gudger, Mr. J W SWrnes
that of Mr. W H Hunter.
Gen'l Jones appeared in the conven
tion and addressed it as follows:
(We can only give an epitome of this
speech from rough notes. Gen J. was
received with, vociferous applause.; -
There come times in the life or very
man when he should make personal sac
rifice for the . eood of others, or for the
sake of his party, if he be in publie;Hfe.;
sucn a time is now upon me. -tia i
consult m-,ewn selfish- interestt'.did --. I.
yield to tho" impulse of feglTpg or 5mbi
tion 1 would not take tne course wntcn
I purpose taking.
I am gratified I am proud of this un
solicited manifestation of your confi
dence and good will towards me, shown
here to-day, and shown in the action oi
the township meetings.
1 he words at my command can out
poorly express the gratification it gives
me to know mat my course and conduct
as a ligislator receives your approval.
I am deeply touched at this evidence of
your kindly sentiments toward me. It
makes yet stronger and deeper the ties
ii . t ? , . . , . . , i
inai Dina me w me gooa people who
have honored me in the past with their
suffrages. I value the respect and affec
tion of the people among whom I live
far more than any office in their gift
lve years ago, my fellow-countrymen.
I came to Buncombe county a stranger
to you ail, with few exceptions. I came
not as a stranger from some foreign land
or from "some other State. I came from
one of the eastern counties i but I am
stil beneath my own native and beloved
SKies ; and my neart beats in sympatny
with the people here ' as with the people
among whom I was bom.
You elected me to the Legislature two
years, ago. Jbor what did I go I ror
money Dor power 7 - No ! 1 went to
serve you; to do what I could to advance
your interests. I tried to do tho farmers
some service ; I tried to lift some of the
burdens from the shoulders of the .toil
ing masses ; and I am largely responsi
sible for the 'enactment of the Stock
Law a law which I believe will prove
a great blessing and benefit to the whole
people of the county.
For that law I have been made the
target of denunciation by those who op-
Jose the law. Well, I expected as much,
well knew that I , would encounter
fierce opposition ; but that did not deter
me from doing my duty as I understood
it. For what.I did I have no apologies
to make.- I'am willing to stand or fall
by the record ; and I am willing to leave
to time the justification of my course. 1 1
am content to rest upon the calm, honest
judgment of the. people after they- have
nad experience of the Jaw, and ielt tne
benefits that are bound to flow from it.
What I did in this respect was done for
all the people, irrespective of party re
publicans and democrats alike ; and I
trust to them with implicit confidence for
my final vindication.
It is an easy matter to do nothing in the
Legislature. It is oftentimes the surest way
to be returned, and had I looked solely to a
re-nomination and re election, I would
never have introduced the Stock Law Bill;
I would have done nothing special for the
interests of the people of my county. But
I obeyed my sense of duty; and am ready
to abide the consequences, whatever they
maybe. , ;
I do not fear defeat -I consider victory
for the democratic ticket which may be put
out here to-day an assured thing. When
has the democracy of Buncombe been
beaten f When has its banner been trailed
in the dust at the feet of an adversary ? It
was victorious in the dark days of the past:
shall the party be defeated now, in these
piping times of peace, when the standard
of triumphant democracy float jubilant in
the sunlight of a grand national victory in
all parts of the Union ? Never ! Never !
This is not a stock law convention. It is
a convention of the - democratic party of
Buncombe county. Bear this in mind;' and
let us to-day do what is best to secure tri
umph of our principles. : ' f -
The democracy have a grand' mission,
the preservation of democratic principles;
and, in Buncombe county, resistance to the
threatened repeal of the stock law. The
democratic legislature is responsible for.
that law; . and were we disposed to do so,
we cannot evade that responsibility. .. Let
us shoulder it like men, and carry it through
to the end. .
Every man should do his duty, as he un
derstands it. "Duty," said Robert E." Lee,
"is the grandest word in the English lan
guage." I have a clear conception of what
my duty to the democratic party is at the
present juncture. For the good of that
party I am willing to make any personal
sacrifice whatever; and when I speak of
the good of the party, I mean the good "of
the whole people; for, I believe, the wel
fare, the prosperity and the -happiness of
the whole people will be promoted by the
success of .the party to which I belong.. :
Now, I am advised that' if I enter the
race for the. legislature this year as the
candidate of the convention the effect of it
might ' be to deepen and intensify antago
nisms so unhappily existing throughout the
county, resulting from my connection with
the stock law. This advice comes from
various sources, and various, parts, of the
county; - No Asheville' clique is trying to
rule me off the track. The men of Ashe
ville, who have advised me against accept
ance"' of" a .nomination are true democrats
and have the good of the party at heart.
They ? are only ; xolieitons that our action
here to-day should be wise" and prudent
,V Undet the advice of these gentlemen ahd
others from other sections of . the county;
for .the sake of peace-and harmony in our
ranks; that no democrat maj have any ex
cuse for riot Voting the ticket Jou put out;
I am willing to' give up all of personal ad
vantage to myself in this contest, and re
sume my place-in the ranks and do my duty
the re-Cheerfully dol take this course,
and lay my amjition at your feet; And leave
to other hands' the proud privilege of bear
ing your banner to yictoiyinNoyember..
