In Justice to all similarly afflicted with our
elves as well as to Dra. Hainan & Gate bell, I
voluntarily make the following statement :
My wife has suffered for several years with
severe lung trouble continuing to grow worse
ontil last November When she was unable to sit
up. but ajart of each day.
No appetite, night sweats, severe congh and loss
of flesh The best physicians of Poultney, Ver
mont, advised an immediate departure Sonth.
We reached Asheville November 17th, and com
menced taking treatment of Dra. Hargan and
4atchell. inhaling Compound Oxygen and Bal
sam Vapor. My wife has improved rapidly Irom
the first. Her appetite la good, sleeps well,
coughs bat little, raises less, night sweats ceased;
no pain anywhere, takes long walks and climbs
the mountains with little fatigue and has gained
g Sis. in weight. We feel certain another month's
treatment will affect a permanent cure. As for
myself I am delighted to state that I improved
rapt lly from the first treatment and am- nearly
ar&U,
1 have suffered for 38 years almost beyo d
endurance with the worst form ot IMles.

Our friend Yates of the Charlotte
Democrat rebukes us for our sensi
tiveness regarding the reports cir
culated of the alleged sickness in
Asheville, and signifies a very phil
osophic indifference to such reports
as applied to Charlotte, Statesville
or Salisbury. We conceive the
cases to be widelv different. Those
towns are healthy, or they might be
otherwise; but they go oa in their
even tenor, unaffected by what may
be said, because with them reimta
tion for health, as well as other de
sirable incidents, is not capital. It
is capital in Asheville, and on the
strength of it large investments have
been made, and -the strongest in
ducements extended, not -only, to
the visitor tor the season, but to
permanent settleis.. Therefore the
sensitiveness oi the Citizen and of
the people here is natural and iu-
liftable, tecause the propagation of
false statements works . direct loss
and damajB. We know the abso
lute falsity of the statements as re
eard sickness this summer, a period
of unusual health, and we know the
motive that instigates them. There
fore we will.net abstain, even un
der the imputation of over sensi
tiveness, from exposing, when occa
sion calls 'or -it, both motive and
falsehood. r , - -.:

HON. A.M. WADDELL,
AND HON. TH0S.D. JOHNSTON,
ADDfcESS THE ELECTOBS OF BUN
COMBE. SPLENDID SPEECHES.
A. LARGE CROWD AND GREAT
ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED
BEST SPEECHES YET 3IADE
Quest ions of National aud State Poli
tics Explained to Everybody's
Complete Satisfaction.
The court house was filled to over
flowing yesterday afternoon with
cVict ats. and . repu blicans, white
and black, to hear the distinguished
Cape Fear democrat Hon." Alfred
M. Waddell, elector-at-large for tho
State, upon the political issues of
tbe day. Standing room within
the building was at a premium and
among the distinguished democrats
present were Judge Walter L.
Bragg, of Alabama, member of the
inter-state commerce . commission,
Hon. Jno. L. Morehead, of Char
lotte, Hon. Thos. D. Johnston,
member of Congiess from this dis
trict, Hon. Harry Skinner, of Green
ville, N. C, Messrs Josephus Dan
iels attorney-general Theo. F. Dav
idson, and Ed Chambers Smith, of
Raleigh, Hon. Kope Elias, of Frank
lin, and others. All the prominent
local democrats of the city and
county we:e present, beside a great
many visitors from adjacent coun
ties. The greatest enthusiasm pre
vailed, and the strictest attention
was paid to the speakers. Judge
Boykin adjourned court for two
hours, in order to allow the speak
ing to take place in the court house,
and Col. Virgil S. Lusk, whom the
radicals had put up to reply to Col.
Waddell, declined to do so for want
of time.
Col. Waddell was introduced to
the vast assemblage by chairman
C. M. McLoud, and after paying an
elegant tribute to Western North
Carolina, the eloquent and distin
guished Cape Fear democrat, pro
ceeded in an hour and a half's
speech, to explain National and
State politics, as ho alone can do.
Every subject was thoroughly ex
plained, and the tariff system was
analyzed from its beginning to the
present, . Radicalism and its hy-.
pocrisies was thoroughly ventilated,
and radical theories were is easily
exploded as if they had bsen but
bubbles. His references to radical
misrule in North Carolina were
scathing,, and his general arraign
ment of that party was the most
masterly and overwhemning ever
heard in this section. Col. Wad
dell's tributes to Cleveland and
Thurman were magnificent, and the
cheers that greeted him ever and
anon showed how deeply his utter
ances touched the hearts of the peo
ple. His entire speech was an ear
nest, eloquent appeal for the main
tenance of the principles and
practices of democracy, and
his remarks regarding the utter
foolishness of the prohibition move
ment met with hearty endorsement
from the audience. All of his ar
guments were plain and simple and
could not lau to be understood by
all within the sound of his voice,
and his speech is acknowledged by
all who heard it to be the most pow
erlul yet delivered in this city. Elo
quent, masterly, forcible and con
vincing in every particular, and den
livered with that grace and ease
characteristic of the distinguished
gentleman.
At the conclusion ol Uol. Vad
dell's speech, Hon. Thomas D.
Johnston, the next Congressman
from this district, rose and made a
most excellent speach, of nearly an
hour's duration; in which he re
turned his thanks for the confidence
bo universally reposed in mm, as
evinced by his unanimous renpmi
nation, a few weeks ago. He spoke
of the Mills bill, ; and the refusal of
the republicans to repeal the inter
nal revenue bill. He spoke of his
work during the session of Congress
ia this direction, and finally closed
his powerful speech by declaring
that the rumors circulated against
him., regarding the public building
matter were false' to the "letter." He
received a perfect torrent of ap
plause, and his speech gave great
satisfaction to his constituents.
This occasion was one ol great
rejoicing and enthusiasm among the
democracy ol .Buncombe, and n bas
seldom been the pleasure of our
people to bear - two speeches, so
powerful in their argument and so
strong in defence of democracy, as
were those delivered here yesterday.
Col. Waddell leaves this morning for
Waynesville, where he will address
the electors of Haywood to-day . We
learn that a great ovation will be
tendered him at thatplace, and we
know of several citiz'?s who will go
to Waynesville on this morning's
train to hear him again. Col. Wad
dell is a powerful and ready de
bater, aud is doing good, solid work
for the righteous cause ot dem
ocracy in this campaign. ; ':

AT OAK GROVE.
Mr. Craic Speaks, and Col. Lusk
Tells How Cheap Horses and
Hogs Can. be Bought.
One of the largest crowds ever
gathered together on-'tfie- Madison
county' line were assembled at Oak
Grove, on - Saturday, to hear Mr.
Locke Craig und Cl. Lusk' discu?s
the political it-sues of the day. The
house was crowdt-d, and the audi
ence as ia usual in Madison, was
largely raSica'.
Mr Craif.: cpened the speaking at
2:30 o'clock, p. m.t in an able and
eloquent expiation of the tariff s'ys
tem, which he handled like a giant.
The fallac-J and r theories of rro--tection,
he-- scattered to the "winds,
and his speech upon the whole was
one of the strongest yet made in the
county. He spoke for one hour,
and was replied to by Col. Virgil S.
Lusk, in a speech of an hour and a
halfs duration.
Tho doMghty Colonel was on his
"own stamping ground," and the
way he preached protection was a
caution, even to the oldest radical
inhabitant of those parts. He made
the same old radical speech of yore,
that has given many a hearer the
ear-ache before,and among other ex
travagant assertions the Colonel
said that if the free trade theory ever
came into practice "horses would
sell at $2 apiece, and a sow and pigs
could be purchased anywhere for
61 cents." This made the radicals
smile and weep, alternately, and the
Colonel made lots of figures like the
above. The "rads" couldn't stand
it, and they "caved in" when Mr.
Craig again got up and riddled the
Colonel fore and aft with the solid
shot of tariff reform and pure de
mocracy. The audience paid espe
cial attention to what Mr. Craig had
to say, and several heretofore rank
radicals threw up the radical sponge
of protection and will vote for
Cleyeland and reform in November.
Good work was done at Oak Groye
Saturday, and we doubt not but that
Mitchell will again come into the
fold of democrcy, from which she
unfortunately and inadvertently
strayed, not bo very long ago.
Hon. Thos. D. Johnston.
At the close of Col. A. M. Waddell'a
speech yesterday, there was loud and
universal cry for Representative John
ston, who was present as a listener. He
came forward readily, and in an un
premeditated and discursive speech,
discussed the topics of the day with force
and animatiw - Wi
onr columns w.? Lfcempt no outline of his
remarks. We only refer to one topic.
He charged upon the Republicans in
Congress absolute and deliberate insin
cerity in their declaration made in their
Chicago platform regarding the repeal of
the Internal Revenue laws. They had
made the repeal dependent on so many
conditions, and involving such enormous
expenditures of the public monies, that
repeal by the Republicans could never
be reached, much less contemplated. He
Mr. Johnston had given them the
opportunity to prove their good faith.
When the Mills bill was on its vote, he
bad offered an amendment providing for
the repeal of those laws. The Republi
cans voted against the amendments. Mr.
Lusk rose, and asked the question, "how
the Democrats voted; if they had not
voted against it ? " Yes, replied Mr. J.,
"a majority of them did." The amend
ment was o tiered to expose the insin
cerity of the Republicans; 35 Southern
.Democrats voted lor the amendment.
The Republicans solidly refused lo vote.
we cannot at present fo.low Mr.
Johnston farther except to refer to a
matter personal to himself. He said it
was charged against him here, that he
had a personal interest in the location of
the public building; and would exercise
control or influence it its construction.
He empathically denied this. He said
he bad procured the passage of the bill
authorizing the construction of the build
ing and that was glory enough for him.
Where it was put was no concern of
bis, nor was tbe employment of archi
tects, builders or laborers any business of
bis He would nave, and could nave, to
participation in the matter.
lhe speech of Capt. Johnston had
altogether a fine influence though it was
unpremeditated, and its treatment large
ly controlled by the brief time allotted
him; for the bell for opening of Court
rang precisely at o o'clock
