S OEAWPOED AND EWAET ONES AND SMATHERS, BELL AND MOODY IN JACKSON. The Congressional Campaign Opened at Webster Last Week A Large Crowd in Attendance. The first named gentlemen opened the campaign for Congress at Webster on Monday of last week. The large court house was packed, not even standing room being obtainable bv many. Mr. Ewart, the Republican candidate opened, w WW His speech was a square defense of his party aud of its acts during the present session of Congress, with the exception nf thft fornp. bill whfrh bp dpnnrmWI , bitterly, and thanked God the Senate had defeated. He said that he had not one word uttered by him in his speech in Cnnorrpas airftinst thfi hill tntalrft bant Insisted that he was an Alliance man in good standing, and defied anybody to get him out. He was specially fearnest n defence and endorsement of the Mc- Kinley tariff bill, and of the silver bill as passed. These, he thinks, are great measures and can only redound to the benefit of the people. We have heard Mr. Ewart make stronger speeches than this, though it was an earnest effort in behalf of his party. Mr. Crawford's rejoinder was a sur prise no less to Mr. Ewart than most of I the audience. He has the record of the Republican party at his fingers' ends, and that of Mr. Ewart. has it thorouehlv dis-ested. and makes an arcressive. Wi- 0 j 00 -1 o cal, effective speech. He put Mr. Ewart on the defensive from the start, and kept up the assault to the end. His discus sion of the tariff, of its effects upon the armers ana laDormg men, was very strong. His thrusts were keen and ef fective, and Mr. Ewart showed he felt hem and the crowd appreciated their force. It was generally conceded to have been one of the finest speeches ever heard in the county. The Democrats were enthused, even jubilant over our candidate, and the opposite side, while endeavoring to keep up their courage, showed they felt that Mr. Crawford is more than a match for Mr. Ewart, and also, that Mr. Ewart is forced to the wall in the argument. When ht charged that Mr. Ewart's speech against the Lodge force bill had been prepared by Mr. J. Wiley Shook and Mr. H. Clay Shook, and that they had some difficulty in iorcing mm, JiiWan, 10 aeuver it, Mr. E. denied it vehemently, whereupon Mr. Crawford read a certificate from Mr Humphrey Haynes, father-in-law of Mr. Shook, to the effect that Mr. Shook had made such statement. Mr. Ewart lost color and the crowd shouted, and he never attempted to deny it afterwards. Mr. Ewart's concluding reply was a mere consumption of time. He failed to make a single point in reply to Mr. Crawford's tenific exposure of the record and meas ures of the Republican party and of him self. On Tuesday Messrs. Jones and Smath ers, Democratic ana nepuDiican candi dates, respectively, for the solicitorship, addressed the people. Here was another very naive arraignment of the Republi can party by Mr. Jones. Like Mr. Craw ford, Mr. Jones kept his opponent on the offensive, and was almost cruel in his assaults upon the policy of the party which Mr. Smathers represents. Mr. S was evidently discomfited, as his rejoin der was not up to expectations. In truth he felt that to reply to Mr. Jones Le would be compelled to defend his party, something he cannot well do. But real, soul-stirring fun was to fol low. Solicitor Moody, feeling the effect of the speeches of Messrs. Crawford and Jones, and recognizing that his party needed all the help it could get, as the drift was decidedly against it, slipped in Democratic candidate for Senator of the 42d district. Mr. Moody is a radical of radicals. He endorses all his party has done in Congress, even to the passage by the House, of the infamous force bill; but to offset the effect of this force bill, he labored for an hour in severe denun ciation of the State election law. When Mr. Bell arose to reply he "just lit on Mr. Moody and the Republican record with both feet," as some one expressed it, and he danced a regular Cherokee In dian war dance on them for more than a hour. He took up the State election law and discussed it section by section, which Mr. Moody failed to do, and compared it with the force bill which Mr. Moody en dorses, and the comparison was strongly in favor of our State law and satisfactory to the entire audience. He is well posted, has his points well in hand, and presents them in a most effective way. He aroused the audience to the highest degree of en thusiasm, even the Republicans joining in heart v applause over his witticisms and sarcastic allusions to the Kepublicaa pariy. .air. reu 13 reaiiy one 01 me a. ar 11.11 z . n r a, l f????, beSt Popular speakers in me oiate ana is mucn more man a match for any man the Republicans will put up His argument is entirely within the comprehension of the most illiterate, abounding in facts and figures which carry conviction. He spoke at Sylva on Wednesday night to a very large crowd, with the same result as at "Webster. Mr. Moody showed much more fatigue after Mr. Bell was through with him than after an hour's hard labor in his own speech. Monday and Tuesdaywere field days for Democracy. The discussions were all above the average and upon a high i plane, the advantage was entirely with the t Democrats. Crawford, Jones and Bell, so far, have won their spurs hand- somp.lv: and if t.hfi samp iWrPA nf Pnthn- & siasm cau be aroused in all the other counties equal to that in Jackson, the result will be a magnificent victory for Dfimnr.r&r.v t.hrnno-Tirmt tliw mnnnton section next month. Fairview Items. From Our Regular Correspondent. Mrs. Williams, wife of Uncle Jesse, is still confined to her room, but we learn that she,.is improving. Mr. Jason Ashworth, of the firm of Jason Ashworth & CbM leaves in a few days for New York to buy their fall and winter stock of goods. We are glad to learn that Miss Mc- Donald, teacher in the primary depart-1 ment 01 our school, is convalescing and De al)le to resume her duties in the School room soon. Mr. A. B. Bright having concluded that it was not well for man to live alone, and Miss M. L. Merrell having previously agreed with him on this parj ticular point, repaired to the residence of J. Will JonesuJ.

Whooping cough, scanet lever ana diphtheria are very prevalent- Mr. James Baker lost two children last week from the latter. Mr. Alfred Hudgens lost a child from the same cause on Sunday, and another one is very low with the same dreadful dis- ease. L. H. Gen. Vance for the Senate. Marshall, N. C., Sept. 26, 1890. Editors Democrat: As the time is drawing near for the nomination of a Democratic candidate for the Senate in it' this district we think in order to succeed we should select the strongest available man. we, tne undersigned, believe Hon. R. B. Vance to be that man. He has been written to on the subject, and in the event of his assent, Madison De mocracy will be found in line. We wonld suggest that Buncombe fall In line on him, and if possible nominate him by acclamation. We feel assured that with him as our standard bearer victory will be ours. Respectfully, J. B. N. & J. W. Meeting of the County Alliance. Buncombe County Alliance will meet in Asneviiie on tne second r riday in October instead of the first Friday as heretofore, the change being made in ac cordance with the constitution as amend ed ibv the State Alliance at Asheville, August 13, 1890. I Officers and delegates will please note the change and make their arrangements accordingly. J. W. Nash, v Pres. Buncombe Co. Alliance. W. F. Tomlinson, Secretary. Mr. James P. Sawyer Was elected by the Board of Aldermen Friday night to fill the vacancy on the Board occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Pulliam. Mr. Sawyer is one of tur most successful business men, is pro gressive in his ideas, and will make an excellent Alderman. Merit Wins. We desire to say to our citizens that for years we have been selling Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumptions, Dr. King's New Life Pills, Bucklen's Arnica Salve and Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satis faction. We do not hesitate to guaran tee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfac tory results do not follow their use. These remedies have won their great DODularitv purely on their merits. T. C. 1 t " a i 1 a j . . . n n omua s ou., uiuggisis A MIXED TJP TICKET. THE RESULT OF THE MORGAN MASS MEETING. Committees Appointed and County Officers Nominated They Adopt a Platform, Etc. At the request of Mr. Morgan, the author of the circular which was issued last week calling a meeting of a portion of the Alliance and ' Knights, of Labor for Tuesday we publish the report below: The meeting was called to order by J. J. Greenwood, and T. C. Morgan was elected chairman and A. A. Hamlet sec retary. J. N. Morgan explained the ob- Meet 01 the meeting. He Said that WaB ... . . . w . . ' . fully set forth In a circular recently is sued- Members of the Knights of .Labor were called, and Geo. H. Burnham says they have nothing (as an order) tO do with the meeting, and will not have un less the county Alliance endorses the ove. f R. DuBose spoke in regard to the A J ,mnce, and after speaking at length in regard to the objects, secrets, etc., of the Alliance, he said that.it had nothing to do with the movement. He further claims that there are outside influences being brought to bear upon the Alliance. He made particular mention of the influ ence from Washington City. Mr. C. M. McLoud then spokein re gard to the two parties as his friends, Asheville's present and future in regard to the capital and labor, how much he regarded the Alliance. He further said that a ruption will do no good to either. He says that the Democratic party has nothing to do with the movement. He prays that there will be no discord. Mr. J. N. Morgan then said he had perfect right, from the conversation he had with the Knights of Labor to call the meeting. He claims he did not want any office nor would he have any if of fered. He says he is a Democrat and fought this movement until , forced to follow with the people in his end of the countv. He claims it to be an Alliance movement. DuBose says not. Mr. N P.ICorn says the Knights of Labor as an order has nothing to do with. Mr. Chas Jones says he and many other Knights want the ticket and will support it. Mr Burnham claims that he" has found out it is a Republican movement and for that reason he and others will not support it. Dr. Harris says that many of the best Democrats in North Buncombe are in fa vor of a ticket. The following were appointed a com mittee on nominations: J. N. Morgan, J. Beachboard, Jno. Griffin, Wm. Robert- son 8 Buckner, T. J. Cole, E. J. Morgan, E. Clark, M. W. Harrison, S. J. Morgan, Robt. Pickens, O. T. Bell, Isaac Holcombe, B. T. Buckner. Free license was then given the audi ence to indulge in whatever conversation they wished, which from what we could gather seemed to be in the main on the probable result of the nomination and of the election following. The committee reported the following nominations: Legislature, M. L. Reed, I. A. Harris; Sheriff, W. J. Worley; Clerk, B. G. Gudger; Register of Reeds, Jas. H. Woodward; Surveyor, R. B. Justice; Treasurer, J. H. Courtney; Coroner, L. B. McBrayer. The following delegates were appointed to meet a like delegation from Madison at Oak Grove Oct. 11 to nominate for the Senate: E. Clark, M. Thompson, A. A. Hamlet, J. N. Morgan, J." J. Fox, H. B. Miles. J. Whitemore, S. Hyatt, S. Roberts, J. H. Brigman, Eller. OUR PLATFORM. f Resolved, With full confidence in the correctness - of our position upon the questioa, we again demand .of the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina the enactment of a railroad commission law, with full powers to the commissioners to regulate freight and passenger rates upon a just and reasonable basis, and with full power to Investigate and take suitable action with respect to damages or inju ries to persons and property. Resolved, That we as Alliance men of Buncombe county enter our earnest pro test againslthe policy of giving away the labor of our convicts, and demand of our legislature the enactment of such laws as will hereafter prevent this outrage on the rights of the tax payers of our State Resolved, - That we demand such changes in our laws, as will reduce the costs in litigation in minor causes, and as shall enlarge the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace. Resolved That we demand that laws shall be enacted to prohibit our public officials from receiving or using free passes or free tickets on our railroads. Resolved, That we demand such legis lation as will guarantee at least the teaching of five months free schools in each school district per year. Crops in Jackson are said to be good, if nothing happens now to hurt it. Looking Backward Over the past eight years of our successful business life in JLshe ville has demonstrated to us the - fact that our determination to sell only pure goods, guarantee- ing weights and quality, and asking a small profit on every thing sold, commends itself to the good sense of purchasers. Second, That desirable cus tomers cannot be gained by the oft-tried practice of some deal ers in cutting prices on a few leading articles, hoping to make it up on something else. That hard work and close ap plication to business is the price of success. That our business for 1889 shows an increase over the pre vious year of 20 per cent., which is very gratifying:, and for which we wish to thank our many friends in Asheville and Western North Carolina. We are encouraged to enter up on the year before us with re newed energy and a determina tion to give our customers the benefit of our increased facili ties for buying and selling the very finest goods to be had, at small profits. - Our stock is now the largest ever offered in this market and embraces very thing in the line of Staple and Fancy Groceries, Table Delicacies, Fruits, Grain, Flour, etc. Respectfully, 1 Powell & Snider.
