' . . - 5oth Demagogical and llonsensical Flights of Oratoiy-Talked of "Winchester Bines" in Asheville. Editor of the Gazette: . . I listened to the speaking at the, op era house in this city Thursday night. It started off with the astonishing and contemptible insult offered In . the speech of A. S., Barnard and the reso lutions which you have published, and Vas continued in a vein of the same character. It is of Locke Craig's speech I wish to say a word. During the course of his remarks he sooke of a man who "had whipped a radical and a.sked me to defend hihv'i The word "radical" means "original" natural," but Webster says that in politics it is used to designate those yrho advocate radical cmanges in gov ernment. Passing by the senselessness of this use of the term, he leaves one to infer that his man engaged in a brutal brawl with some one with whom he did nnt airree in political matters, which or after all are only a mere difference of opinion that ought to be granted in the ed that the democratic utmost charity. Does any broad-mind ed man think any less of ex-Presidents Cleveland and Harrison because they represent different parties? Both are unimpeachable in their integrity and bear the stamp of honest intent in all their published utterances. What would be the proper verdict against either of them if he were to go and en gage in a street brawl over his polit ical opinions? Every sensible person would heartily condemn him. But Mr. Craig uttered those disgusting words "whipped a radical" as though he en joyed the thought, and expected his audience to be equally sodden and de graded. His memory of that man was so strong within him that he prom ised not to forget him when he went down to Raleigh. He also said he knew many of the best citizens of Asheville "who had Winchesters laid away .two years ago," and "they in tended to use them if they thought necessary." He failed to state what contingencies would justify their use,' but one's natural inference is that it had something to do with the election. The guns were 'not used. The election went democratic. Ergo: If there had been indications that the election was going against them, would the guns have been brought from their hiding places by these "best citizens?" If they had, would anybody have been shot in the back as they were in Wil mington? Were any of these "best citizens" Christians? Were they mind ful of the command "Thou shalt not kill?" If not then, were they cogn izant of a state law against killing? Here is a public orator wno poses as an enlightener of the people. How many times have we all heard our country entitled the "land of the free and the home of the brave." And yet here is one of the authorized mouth pieces of a party justifying the slug ging of a neighbor apdithe us of dead ly weapons in elections! How dare this man stand up in this land of churches, of free schools, of boasted justice, pro gression and freedom, and be an apol ogist for these relics of the lark ages? Of what use are preachers, or teachers churches, laws or codes of ethics if men .1 are to go about voicing sentiments that I are subversive pX all law, all order, and ." all else thaVmakes for peace; quiet, and I gooa citizensmp, among, men? Of what w eignx or vaiue are puonc omces wnen placed over against fcuman life, and the reign of kindness in the world? Mr. Craig, if you continue to talk tills kind of unethical rubbish, you will educate 'your own party to such lengths that upon ..the least" provocation they may turn upon you and rend you, as you are already teaching them to do unto others. If you continue in ad-' vocacy of these sentiments - that are subversive of-all that tends- to make life tolerable in this fair land of ours, then It will be said of you, "Mene, mene tekel upharsin!" If a republican speaker had said, as Mr. Ciaig dld.that Ms party represented "about all the womanhood" of the state ell the democratic ( newspapers and all their speakers would have uttered a pious howl bout an insult to the ladies of North Carolina. They would have Deem as quick and unanimous as though touched by a button" from headquarters,' and probably they would be. But Xocke Craig can say it and provoke a titter from his audience. Let it be said to their everlasting credit that it did not get any sign of approval from the women present. His coarse Intimation that there were those present of Illegal parentage was coldly received and a number of women left the house at once.

Sumner, Deal & Co. still in session and going to remain in session indefinitely, to accomplish par tisan designs, iand to thwart the de cisions of the supreme court, which he termed partisan. By this remark he would have us believe .that if that tri bunal were democratic it would not then be partisan. It is not necessary to point out to him what would be the deplorable social condition if this policy were to obtain in all the American States. If every commonwealth made a specialty of discrediting its supreme judiciary chaos and anarchy would not be far off. Why does he want a demo cratic coterie of judges? Any child of ten would answer at once "to sit in sol emn approval of whatever acts the democratic assembly may enact.". Without saying more does this not con demn him? As to his fusilade against the editor of the Gazette, it is only an other instance of the one-sidedness of his tactics. He-hints at some great danger that is about to befall one who exercising the rights of free speech, which free speech is always free from the heated terms and doubtful epithets .that Mr. Craig so-readily calls to his assistance. His utmost malevolence can not possibly harm the person or character of one whose sole insistance is upon fair play and a full and tree the new schedule went into . effect. Passengers who desire to go to Beau fort will be until nearly midnight reaching that city, whereas before they arrived about eight o'clock.

In speaking about the registration of mail matter by carriers, which went into effect on the 20th instant, the New Bern Journal (democrat) pays the fol lowing deserved compliment to our most efficient postmaster: "Irt the interest of public convenience the Hon. Eawin C. Wadden, third as sistant postmaster general, has author ized our efficient and enterprising post master, Mr. Seymour W. Hancock, to provide for the registration of valua ble letters, or first class matter, by letter carriers on their routes in this city. "Since the appointment of Mr. Han cock as postmaster the service in our city has been greatly improved; he has successfully impressed upon the de partment the necessity of giving our citizens all the benefits of the modern postal service.

Editor of the Gazette: Barnardsville, N. C, June 20. I desire to say tnrough your paper thatr am a democrat and have always supported the democratic ticket, and I believe in the principles of the party as taught and preached by Thomas Jeffer son, but I do not endorse the ring rule and trickery practiced by the so-called democratic party of North Carolina and of Buncombe county. The delegates are chosen in the primaries by trickery and a majority of the candidates get their nomination in the same way. Dr. J. V. Jay, who is township chair man of the democratic party in Ivy No. 2, aided by Rev. Joe Hyder and others secured a delegation to the dem ocratic convention at Asheville that the majority of the democrats here did not want, by a trick too mean for any one to endorse except by that part of the so-called democratic party who are trying to disfranchise the common peo ple of North Carolina. I. r. Jay, in his reply to Mr. W. R. Maney's article which appeared in the Gazette ""on May 29, says through the columns of the Asheville Citizen that Mr. Maney has left the democratic party and gone to the republicans. I wish in reply to say that Mr. Maney has not left the "democratic party but is opposed to trickery and misrule and there are about one hundred democrats in Ivy township that stand on the same plat form . I am reliably informed that the same state of affairs exists all over the county and state. I therefore expect to see trickery and misrule buried in Bun combe county at the next election with one thousand majority. JOHN GRAGG.
