Winston, Raleigh, Fayetteville,

yet we believe our people are as
loyal, as patriotic, as mindful of the
results of Independence day a3 any
other; only they will not take the
time to think of the enniversary.
Speaking of the Chicago platform,
Hon. Thomas D. Johnston, in an
interview with a reporter of the
Washington Critic, says: ''The
platform is a fraud, an outrageous
fraud, because they pretend to iavor
the repeal of this tax. They will
repeal the internal tax, they say, if
the surplus continues. Now, the
policy of the republicans is to use
up the surplus bv extravagant ap
propriations and by trvina to force
the passage of such bills -as the Ar
rears of Pensions bill, which would
prevent any reduction of taxation
or the repeal ot the internal revenue
taxes, which they pretend to favor.
Iheir platform will not deceive
North Carolina, when it is ex
plained to the people."

fying information that a train has
actually been run on the C. K. &

Mayor's Court.
With two cases of drunk, two cases of
affray, one case of fast driving, another
of disorderly conduct, and four cases of
hi-lo-jacic," his Honor had a lively time
of it vesterday morning. Some were
lound guilty, some were discharged, and
some were carried over until this morn
ing. One convicted defendant wanted
to borrow enough money from hisIIoiKr
with which to pay h.s line. His Honor
declined tt advance the cash, stating that
he thought it would come cheaper to him
to remit the fine than to loan the money;
but, he didn't remit and the c. d. will
have to crick granite on the public
streets for the space of three days. An
other defendaht wanted Dr. Burroughs
summoned as an exrt, to decide
whether he had an attack of I vdropho
biaor not- Chief W add ell diagnosed
the cose, told his Honor that the defend
ant was suffering from an overdose of
mean whiskey and was also threatened
with a pluro-pneumonic attack of dis
integrate I jim-jams, und prescribed
pyroselerite-hydrargillite and hard work
in equal doees constantly for ten days.
His Honor accepted the advice, turned
the prisoner oyer to the street inspector,
adjourned the court, and went out and
bought a block, of Asheviile real estate

One of the leading hr.'telg in ; this

This year the average numbt r-of

has been completed and elig;intly

accommodate one hundr d. and seventy-five

HERE WE ARE !
The Republican Prodigal Sons Re
tarn Home.'
Messrs. Geo. H. Smathers, of
Waynesville, HG. Ewarf.. of Hen
dersonville, and J. Vi!e Shook, of
Clyde, arrive 1 in the citv yesterday
on" their way home from the recent
republican love feast he'd in Chi
cago. J. Wiley was decorated with
a Harrison badge, that Ewart de
scribed as being gorgeous to . a de-

wide, and resembled the filse bosom
of a dude barber' shir". A tsemi
circu:ar daguerro:ype likeness of the
Hon. Ben. was pasted in the center
of the bmlge and the etrfsimfrs
thereto wer frightful to conte :i
ph te. He also intimated to a Citi
zen repr-enta'ive that J. Wi'ey
was atraid to stop oyir-light in
Asheviile, owing to the fact that the
citizens migh imagine l iin to be the
avant courier of a 'monster ten -cent
railroad circus, with three ring' un
der one canvass, an-1 a performance
goin;; on in each ring at Ihe same
time Mr. Ewart said that he w u'd
like to write a sketch o' the times
and scenes of the Chicago conclave,
and when the Citizen' very gener
ously tendered the columns for the
admission of the. dissertation, the
gentleman declined the kind invita
tion. We would like to hear from
Mr. Ewart on the subj pt proposed,
particularly in the vein, which his
manner indicated at the time. He,
it must he remembered, was a
looker on in Chicago, and his ex
perience was no doubt highly amus
ing. Mr. SniKihers looked first rate for
a defrated B'aine delegate, and
bears up un.ler his disappointment
manfully.
But, J. Wiley Shook hastened on
his homeward way, and ere th's has
been read by many people, has
pulled down the nam of Blaine
from the foretop gallant sail of the
Register, and nailed up lint if the
Hon. Ben. who now really is what
he might not have Bm a deleated

Discharge of the Grand Jury.
Yesterday the foreman of this impor
tant body, came to our office to announce
its discharge for the term. 'Last week
judge McRae gave the Jury a week's ' in
termission with the view, possibly, of
stirring them to action. " They had clone
nothins: thev went home; and niet again.
and still t.-iey did nothing; and now they
are discUarged - is it as unprofitable ser
vants ? Or is it, as the foreman, nays,
that; after deligent search, they. could
find nothing to do.? This, in a pot nla
tion of more than 40,000,- for the coun
ty a population to some' extent hetero
geneous, and to which there is a constant
influx of miscellaneous addition, i3 very
remaikalilc indued. It is true that
offences within the'exclusive jurisdic
tion of the Inferior Court, and the Grand
Jury of that body finds ample employ
ment. But- that, too orand Inquest of
the county in its search after weightet
crime should have found nothing is 1P-
