it THE- ASHE VILLE GiZETTE. JULY i?, 190a - - - - - - v , . - ' "DEMOCRATS !" J Editor of : the' Gazette: v.-. "What's In & name ? A; rose by any other" name" smells as sweet." We have never been aJble to endorse the above well 1 known quotation To us ! the ' word "ROSE" is inseparably: connect ed with what is sweet pure and beau tiful, and we are not willing to discard the almost hallowed associations of that word. . To us. there . is " much 'in a name. The word.. "ROSE", pripares us to expect 'gratification of every "sense, while the word ''GARLIC'' has a dif ferent effect-. While this is true, how ever, no foul - Smelling !lant ; - : can be, made other than obnoxious.' by : nam ing it "rose." . ' , Now for the application of this. The word "DEMOCFiAT" has. to us many dear associations . It brings to mind many great and true men. It-reminds us of years of struggle, during wjWbh I was but a private,, under the leadership of these great and true men. Struggle for .what? . To prove to the world that our' party' was 'that which of right should rule because it stood ever for what was right, fair, honorable. Our insistence was ever and always, that from the day of the confederate sur render our loyalty to the United States was just as sure (it could not possibly he more sure) as was our, loyalty to the confederate states. -If any man doubt ed this after we had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States, that man was our enemy, because he had impugned our honor, which was insep arably wrapped up fn our promised aH legiance to that wMich was then OUR (XUNTRY. For this reason, we glor ied in those days in calling ourselves and being called "A DEMOCRAT." We had another reason, better still,' for .clinging to the old . name. It stood to us for the grandest of all principles. It insisted on the. only theory of govern ment, which is our belief, can ever produce the best results to the govern ed; 'to wit: That no government can, or should exist except so long as it is to be a government "OF THE PEO-" PLE, BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE." How often .have we heard this grandest of all theories sustained by the eloquence of him, the grandest of all men of our state, Z. B. Vance. How we have heard him denounce, as he only could, an unfair election law,, because it hampered the expression of the popular will. Alas, alas, we have no Vance to adequately describe the present election law. "Hampering the expression of the popular will." Much "worse than that. We are told by men calling --..themselves DEMOCRATS, "There can be no doubt as to the result .'of the election, because the DEMO XCRATS have so framed the election law as to make it SURE." Others, 'calling themselves members of the 'ZETB VANCE club, have taunted us 'with thf demand. "What can you do about it?" .... . ii i. 1 2 t t i. . . My political creea is tnac wmcn j. oc lieve is taught by the word DEMO CRAT, that all power in my state is given unto her men, her citizens, her votef 9 Their voice comes to me ever as VOX DEI. But how can I this year hear their voice? The legislature has undertaken, nearly two years before the election, to make sure of the re sult. Then if the result of the election -fa declared to be as the legislature de creed, can I feel sure that I hear the rolce of the sovereign people? Is it ot almost evident that I hear only the Vbfce'of th' legislature? In our own county, can we be sure that we hear any voice, of higher authority than that of the "Three C's;" which have arrogated this power to themselves. And yet by a strange hallucination, these "Three C's" call themselves three democrats, and stranger still, good and true men are found who propose, to vote as the 'Three Cs' dictate,', ' merely because of the dear old name, after all the substance, all the fragrance has departed. You had just as well hold to your nose an onion, and say, "How jsweet is this rose," because some one has said it is a rose. One Of the war cries now is, "You are no democrat If you oppose the pro posed amendment." And yet did not the democratic legislature of Georgia refuse, to submit a similar amendment bv an immense majority? Is not Geor gia DEMOCRATIC? Or to come near er home, was not Mr. Curtis a DEMO CRAT when he voted against the sub mission to us of this amendment? Was not Mr. J. P. Kerr a DEMOCRAT when he wrote: "If the legislature provides for submission to the people a constitutional amendment that will prohibit the son or grandson of any man not a voter in any state in the .union on January 1, 1867, from voting, it will find it has undertaken to do something thai is unconstitutional and void," and he then established his po sition by the ablest, most concise argu ment that has yet been made. Or was the same gentleman a DEMOCRAT when he wrote: "If the prepayment of poll tax is made a prerequisite for voting in this state, it will prove to be PERNICIOUS AND ONLY PERNICI OUS?" Dare anyone to s'ay "ZEB VANCE was no DEiMOCR! AT," and yet here are his words spokeb in vthe senate on April 7, 1881, and his words he never retracted: "The! black people of my "state have the same patriotism we claim to have. They have the same pride in the character and the reputa tion and prosperity of the Old North State that we claim to have. We have no objection to universal suf frage ;' we have no objection to the. black people voting; we are willing for them to vote,' and we are willing for them to vote just so long as -anybody else votes." Should not Vance be called Va negro lover?" ; Yes, because other men have been so called for quoting his grand words, "The negro race -was born and reared among us'. It did not rise up to do us harm in the hour of our extreme adversity, even fpr the great boon of freedom and amid the mosO tempting excitements, but con tinued faithful to their masters and their families, even within the hear ing of the guns that were roaring to set them free." It is no disparagement, but onlythe truth, toosay of .Zeb Vance, "He loved all men, and no one was so, humble as to be shut out, of his greatheaft." His quoted words abundantly prove it. I can never copy his noble acts but I caa and will repeats and .make my',, own,, his noble words, and if this makes me No DEMOCRAT,"- scr be it, I am willing as ever to be with him. ' '.: . "Finally, friends: of Aeheville, I "be seech you tot note the; ill-effects of these specious, cries, r'No V DEMOCRAT," White ' Supremacy ' Negro DOCMUNA tion."

My prayer to you this day is to do it again.- Oonsider carefully the proposition be- xore you. See if our friend" Mr. Kerr was not exactly right when he said it was "PERNICIOUS AND ONLY PER NICIOUS.'' If you concuT in his able reasoning, you, will vote with me, and not with him.

Are you willing tdsee these boys, whether they are your boys, or boys of your neighbor, disfranchised?" There is honor among these country democrats and this gugs tiSfimade a marked impression. : -Although pressed for an answer hot one of them would say that he was willing to see his neighbor disfranchised. Col. Lus' raised a good laugh on Mr. Craig by reading an extract from a speech of the late Senattor Vance In 'the senate, where he made a plea in feehalf of universal suffrage. 'And yet Vance," said Colonel Lusk, "in all his 'wisdom and statesmanship, was not as 'great as one of these," .pointing to Mr. Craig. SUMMER SCHOOL SERIES MONEY DBA WEE BOBBED. Bound to Court. Yesterday morning after 1 o'clock the money drawer of Carr & Ward's saloon, on South Main street, was op ened and something over $5 taken from it. Mr. Ward left the saloon about 1 o'clock and turned off the lights.

When he got to the rear he saw someone on the rear platform of the saloon and ran toward the platform, but as he did so the person ran down the other side. Mr. Sknms ran after Mm to.

The Cycle "In a Persian Garden" - to be Given. V The. Ashevllle Summer School . and Conservatory will present for the first time in Asheville that famous cycle of songs, "Im Persian . Garden," by Liza Lehmann, at Its concert next Thursday in the opera house. Published only four years ago, the work has attained a. most remarkable popularity both In this country and in England, and no other musical composition from the pen of a "woman has ever produced such a great effect, Liza Lehmann (Mrs. Herbert Bedford) was un.til her marriage in 1894, a concert soprano. She studied composition in London under Hamish MactCunai, the composer of "Lord Ul- nn's Daughter." . The words .of the "Persian Garden" are selected from the Rubaiyat of Omar ivnayyam, translated from the -Persian by Edward Fitzgerald. Omar Khay yam lived during the lartter part of the eleventh and, first quarer of the twelfth -century, and the first -edition of Fitz gerald's translation appeared in 1859; it has been much revised in the four suc ceeding editions. Alfred' S. Barnard has been asjced to give a short talk upon the poem on Thursday evening immediately pre ceding the performance and this will materially help the audience in appre ciating the music. The composition consists- of solos for the four voices for which it is writ ten, besides several quartettes ana a duet, and contains 'most luscious mel ody and harmony. , Its great success is due to its reflection of the warmth and sensuousness of the eastern poetry. Some of the most beautiful numbers are the quartette, "Wake! for the Sun Who Scattered Into Flight;" the con tralto solo, "I Sometimes Think that Never Blows So Bed the Rose;" the intensely dramatic soprano solo, "I Sent My Sioul Into the Inlvdsible;" the tenor solos, "Alas! that Spring Should Vanish with the Rose," and "Ah, Moon of My Delight, that Knows No Name;" and the baritone solo, "As Then the Tuliip." But the whole work, consisting of twenty-two numbers, is beautiful from beginning to end. The interest is en hanced by a fine piano accompaniment continually suggestive of orchestral ef fect. The vocalists of the Summer School were engaged; with special reference to this performance, and so a fine render ing may be expected. A high dra matic soprano was absolutely necessary and Miss Knight was chosen for that role. Mr. Dunkley has heard Miss Rarcello sing the contralto part with great success, as well as Dr. Jackson the tenor part. It is needless to say fthart Dr. Jackson does it to perfection. He has sung it in public over thirty times. Mr. Pennell completes the quartette with his excellent - bariitone. Mr. Dunkley will play the accompaniment. 1 UiLLUEIlMiLl- REGISTRATION COMPLETED AT ALEXANDER. Republicans Registered Great Number -Last Lay.
