The' idea of . that paper has been to tax the credulity of its patrons to the extreme of false impressions concerning Asheville, it Ii:i8 prosecuted, over a long period, a campaign designed to create alienn limi and distrust between neighbors, where there should be a feeling of friendship.

Dr. HKAtiA.V AMI THK H ARtiES" i lST Mil. il IM.KK. This paper is publishing today a letter signed by relatives of Or lien gan concerning the charges against Mr. Oudger. It is a letter Unit at once discloses to Ihe public the lengths to wliich politics will carry men who. In all other relations of life, have an in herent desire to walk uprightly, and that gives an emphasis that cannot be ignored, to the responsibility which now res'' upon Mr. ludg.r s a.eus i i s. To go back a little, (his affair is one in which sickness and death liave played the most conspicuous part, and the simple facts show how the misfortunes of men may sometimes be turned to political account by a class of persons having the desire to do so. lr leu,(;an has for many years hsd a war claim against the Oovemnient. w hich Mcnator mice and others pressed unsuccessfully. Am Iir. Rea gan grew older he thought more of his claim, and Mr. Gudger, when a member of the House, was asked to take up the matter. Ilr. Reagan con ceived the idea that Mr. Oudger had not done us well by him as he should, and some of the papers In the rase were mispluced, for a time. Mr. Oud ger s secretary died and he himself was very ill for awhile, and was un able to keep up with his correspon dence, as promptly as he would have liked to. That sickness and death was a fortuitous clrcums'wa for Mr, Grant, because Dr. Reagan was old and feeble and sick, and felt that he had a grievance. He went to aee Dr. Reagan and told him that he had tak en up the matter of the war claim, that a lawyer had been employed, and we have been Informed that Grant gave assurances that, In case It cost wore than fifteen per cent, to collect the claim he would pay the difference out of hla own pocket v ' Does not this strategical move un fold lUelf with sufficient rapidity? The Grant lieutenants had a use for Dr. Keagan. It was the plan to charge Mr. Oudger with wrong doing aa So lictor, and they had use for a signa ture, to be attached to those charges, of eminent respectability. A fortnight after Grant's call a kinsman ap proached Dr. Reagan about signing charge designed to aid the man Who had shown such astonishing activity, such amaslng liberality. In the m.Uer of that war claim. Th plot thicken ed at this point, Dr. Reagan's signa ture was secured, but there followed , the Inevitable reaction. A rebuke ban 'I -eii iilmlnlslc.red py jfrs. R,agun to i lei g-t the signature, ' i ! - h ' r pitMUl,. there for the old man's signature, have been left untouched. Nor will those papers ever be touched, save by the man who took them there. Dr. Reagan says he hopes to live until the 20th, when he will be eighty-six years old, but if, In the goodness of Providence a noble life shall be pro longed, he will not sign those papers. It is feared that he will never sign any more papers of any kind. Mr. Grant was safe in giving th.. assurances to that war claim; he will never be asked for an accounting.' The revived charge's will of course be signed by somebody. Their au thors can hardly leave this thing charges reflecting upon the personul integrity of Mr. Cudger where it now stands. Somehow somebody will have to move into the open, but the next time the accusation is likely to spring from u less creditable, and therefore a less effective source. It is our opinion, however, thnt a silence, or a plan to keep undercover until just bef..r the i lei tlun. when th'Te wnuhl be little chance to reply.

In the matter of the scl. fa., fees and because Dr. Reagan is very ill, wu desire to state Just how be came in sign Ihe letter in which the charge was uiailv. We are further Induced to do this by the fact Ihut Mr (iudgcr has llal ly denied the charge ami his accus ers havo been repeatedly asked to sub stantiate the charge. That they bav not done so Is patent to all. We do not regard our father as the accuser. In the tlrst place Ihe letter was pre- pareu in Asheville, as most people Know, anil nr. Reagan knew pram cully nothing of the allegations con iiuit-u tucrein except wnat ne was told when he signed the leter. As to why he signed the letter on such slight knowledge, it was presented to him by one In whom he had every right to feel confidence, and one who he had every reason to believe, would not let mm become embroiled in a thing of mis Kind unless he were sure of the facts. They aim took advantnge of tne fact that Dr. Reagan had differed with Mr. Gudger about an entirely oi n ere ni mailer. Since then efforts have been made to get him to sign' additional papers in substantiation of the charge. He refused to have anything more to do with It, realizing the character of the controversy. , . Now. we wish to aay that those who are responsible for connecting him with this matter evidently did not and do not realize hla condition or they would not seek to Implicate him In a political squabble. It is all right to try to substantiate the charge, but would it not be better to com out into tne open, make the real author. ship of the letter known, and assume the responsibility thereof, and not try to keep the burden on an old man who has all his life kept clear of such tningsT , J.
