2 THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1892. PRITCHARD CAN T SPEAK mm iMPLT EMITS VRMCKEB 1MEKTION1 la Mo DMOMirCd by toe Brpablksa Sseodle and Tfcflr wapplne; llaa Crawford May Carry folk. An, Rutherford Co., Oct. 10 tf rod want to koow what genuine hospitality .just atop with Prank Reynolds, a we are tonight, and you wilt know the full meaning of t be word. If there are two people in North Carolina who have larger hearts than Mr. Reynolds and his good wiie, I hare never found them. At Otter Creek today a splendid crowd met us, numbering between three and lour hundred. No sucn congregation of citizens has assembled there for ten years. And Crawford gave the people the facts of thecampaignred hot. f'ritcbard is really getting ashamed of the beggarly way in which be is forced to conduct hi Canvass. He was pressed so hard today that be declared there was at the present time one hundred and twenty-nine mil--lions of dollars surplus in the United States treasury. Whether he made the statrment because of his own ignorance, or btcause be thought Crawford was ignorant, I am not certain, but I know that he looked sick when Crawford showed the crowd how li was endear oring to deceive them. Pritcbard had to count tbc gold reserve for the redemp tion of the outstanding greenbacks, that be ougbt to know no honest administra tion would touch. before he made his Surplus visible, but he was bound to sar something to try and break the force of Crawford's showing as to the Republican management of tbe government's finances. There are no more Third party jieople to talk to now, and Crawford devotes bis attention to Pritchard. and leaves Brother Brown to saw the air as be pleases. This is what caused Fritchard to dump tbe reserve into the trrasury and make a surplus. The campaign in Rutherford is now wound up. Tomorrow we move into Folk. There is no doubt about this county tteing in tine shape. Crawford has en thused the Democrats at everv point. and they are thoroughly aroused and at work. Tbe county fair meets at Rutberfordton on Wednesday, and there will be a large crowd in attendance from every portion of tbe county On Thursday Senator Ransom will speak at tbe lair grounds, and his magnificent presen ation of the issues is about all that could be added to what has already been done in Ruth erford. Yon can rclv upon good news from Rutherford on tbe 8tb. First frost fell here this morning, and the leaves look as sick as radicals when Crawford is Hiking. J. P. K. Mill Sprixg, N. C, Oct. 11 This was tbe first appointment in Polk, and there was a fairly good crowd and plenty of whiskey on band. When Crawford began to speak there came near being what might have been a serious row. and tbe speaking was in terrupted for five or ten minutes. Both Republicans and Democrats were among those who were drinking. Sheriff Nelson, a Democrat, was on hand, and succeeded in restoring quiet. If one blow had been struck an ugly affair would have been the result. I find since reaching this comity that there is not a Third party man in it and Brother Brown will find it difficult ts keep himself straight. I'ritchard changed tbe amount of the surplus in tbe treasury today, and now claims that it is only thirty millions. He has fallen one hundred millions since yesterday. This is enconraging, and as Crawford now ignores Brown, and is devoting himself to getting Pritchard straight on tbc facts of tbe campaign, things are getting in better shape. From what I can see, 1 think tbe Re publican majority in Polk will be cut down, but not nncb. Ewart's majority two years aro was 60. If Pritcbard gets 40 be will do well. Saluda is tbe strong Republican township, and I will have a better idea when we get there. Tbe Republican majority in tbe county will not be as large as tbat polled at that box. Tbe revenne officials are still furnish ing the hurrah for Pritchard'scampaign. and I constantly hear of unemployed gangers and storekeepers having re ceived assignments for tbe campaign if no longer. Coia mbis. X. C. Oct. 12 Tbe small est crowd of the campaign met us today at this place, not over 75 persons being present. Tbe sneecbes were cut down to SO minutes in order to make tbe train at Trvon at 4:20. ft may be as well for the Democrats of the district to know that Bob Patterson is in tbe saddle with a grip full of boodle, and that be is riding night and day for I ntciiard. lust as tbe speaking closed bere today Patterson came riding through at full speed with bis grip around uis shoulders, lie made a break for Pritcbard's buggy, and took tbe seat of a storekeeper who was with him. and away they went toward Saluda, 12 miles through tbe mountains over the rough est of roads, when Trvon and tbe rail road was less than six miles distant over a splendid pike, Anyoneat all acquainted with Patterson knows what such move ments mean. There can be no doubt about tbe fact that the Republicans are working every officeholder in tbe district night and day for Pritcbard, and it is also certain tbat every man of them has been assessed heavily for campaign rands. Ia addi tion to these influences tbe Republicans will swap anything and everything for a vote for Pritcbard. It is the boodle they have that is in spiring tbe confidence manifest in the Re pa blican ranks. Like Wiley 8book. they are all in it for tbe money tbey can get oat of it, and tbey can easily be pe waded to believe tbat all other people caa be moved by tbe same influence that impels then. It remains to be seen whether tbe district caa be bought. The Democrats have been waned, and know jost what kind of warfare tbey have to meet, and all tbe have to do w to work steadily from now until the 8tb and not only will Crawford be elected by a rowing majority, but every coasts that cast its vote for bias two years ago will elect the rail Democratic ticket for ' county offices. ; !'-. This much I win state If tbe coun ties east ot tbe Blue Rides do not aire Crawford as great or greater majority than tbey did two years ago, I shall cease to give political forecasts in tbe fu ture. . P. K. SALroA. N. C. Oct. 131 said in my letter from Columbus tbat I would have a more intelligent idea as to bow tbe rote would stand in Polk county after I had been to Saluda, as tbe Republican majority ar tbat box is alwavs more than their majority in theo-unty. There was a fine crowd here today and tbe majority of them were Republicans, hut as Crawford always spraks best where be has most opposition, his pre sentation of the issiws before tbe people wa- very strong and pointed. There was one Ashrville man present today besi''t s myself Ge. B. R. Hamp ton, and I would be glad if any one who has bebevrd the Republican reports that Pri'chard is too nuch for Crawford, would ask Gn. Hampton tor a private and candid opinion of the discusion. A Pennsylvania gentleman of large po liticat experience and information, for merly Sam Randall's private secretary, who was present, told me today that he had never in all his life beard an aspirant for Congress in either political party, make a speech s utterly lacking inarvu mmt as was Pritchard's mdav. The same gemlcman said tbat a lite long Re publican walkrd awav while Pritchard was speaking declaring that he would vote for Crawlord and Cleveland, as he could n"t longer vote with a party that had no better defense to offer tban that presented bv Pritchard. Mr visit here has confirmed and made to mv mind certain, the prediction that Pritchard's majority in Polk will not j be equal to that given Ewart two years ago. I would not lie at all surprised if , Crawford carries the county- This is straight tall, with no intention to boast or brag. I learned today that a Demo cratic county convention has been called to meet in Hendersonvillc on Saturday to put out a full ticket in that county from constable up This means a red hot fight in Henderson county from now till the day of election, and the polling of every Democratic vote in the county. The uian who imagines that tbe Demo crats in any rountv in this Congressional dirtrict are going to be intimidated by Republican ho die and internal revenue fficers, w ill find himself garth mistaken. Tbe peoplrare becoming aroused in everv county, township and polling place. Tbey are waking up in the mountains, in the valleys, in he villages and in the towns. They see that the radicals have lost all hope of electing Harrison, and are nutting up their lat stroke on Pritchard. They are "on to" the swap ping dodge and the boodle game, and tbey mean to show the radicals of West ern North Carolina. that Democrats can not hr bribed, bulldozed or tooled, but are determined to place this district now and for all time, safely in tbe Democratic column. If you want to verify these statements, go ont among tbe plain farming people as I have done, and you will no longer doubt. . P. K. SONS OF TEMPERIKCE. MeetlBK of North Carnllua'sCrand Lodfe Mere.

Editor The Citizem: Tbe 21st of Oc tober being tbe tour hundredth anniver sary of tbe discovery of America and designated by the President and Gover nors as a -National holiday, should not he overlooked by the patriotic citizens of Ashcville. Do not let us be behind other cities in this matter. We understand tbat tbe school chil dren of tbe city intend celebrating the event in an appropriate manner, and tbat the Junior Order American mechan ics will present four beautiful American flags to the city, to be placed on the sev eral school buildings, and it becomes our duty as citizens and Americans to assist in making the day a memorable one. Will you not urge through your paner that the day be generally observed and that all places ot business that possibly can he closed and their employes given a ho.

We believe tbat the - 'prratiou of our esteemed Asbeville jour nals the ctlrbration can lie made a sue cess and a great credit to our beauiful city, therefore I place the matter before vou to excite enthuciasm imo our cit izens. .4 Sub-crihcr. An Open Letter Editor The Citizen: I have been inter- laccdwith the social, business and reli gious life of Asbeville and vicinity since 18, except twoor three intervals ot -i few rears each, when dnty or interest called me elsewhere. I have been pastor of what is now "Central Methodist church." three times during my life once when it belonged to "A"heille Circuit," again, the firt year it was ma 'c a Vtation," and tbe last tme for a period ot three vears, from l7i to ISHl. in clurive. Then for eight years i within hearing of her church bells. lived.: Notwithstanding this long and inti mate acquaintance. I flatter mvself tbat I I still have s--me good and true friends a mom; the oler citizens especially i among tbe older Methodist citizens. ; From these I have received, especially during the past two or three years, 1 many cordial I invitations to visit them : at their homes invitations as sincere, ; no doubt, as thev were cordial. It ws i my purpose to accep these invitations, i and during the summer just ended to 1 rekindle tbe friendships ot lormer years. h numerous social visits among them. But I ho ve not done so, and this "open letter" is to explain tbe cause of tbat failure. It is known to all of them tbat my health has been poor for some years past, and though much improved in some re spects, I am still the victim ot a chronic throat troublewhicb produces a distress ing and exhausting cough which is a serious affliction to me and annoying, no doubt to those about me. This state of things made it necessary for me to re main at one place, where I could use palliatives, tp try to mitigate tbe evil. That trouble' still continues, and even grows worse; 'and the summer is now oast and the time draws near when I go South, leaving my cherished purposes unfulfilled. This I greatly regret, and take this method of assuring said friends of mr appreciation of their kindness, and my continued interest in them and, thrir households. I am glad to assure them that the twilight of my life is free from care and worry, and as peaceful and bappv as often come to earth born man. Considering tbe drawback from my pro tracted bodily afflictions. I can truth fully and thankfully say, my life is exceptionally cheerful and bright; and I wish for ererr one of them the sweet and gentle harmonies tbat arc making my hist days "radiant with soft lights tbat were not mine" lights tbat I conld neither create nor command, but tbat now come to me, as benedictions from tbe skies. Let me say to tbe old tbat blight of autimn frosts indicate to ns nature's program live, grow, bud and blossom, then fade, wither, droop and die. So it is and must be witb ns, and we should accept gracefully, and submit cheerfully to others taking onr places la life proces sion. But as the autumn leaves glow with manifold beauties and rich and radient colors as tbev surrender their lives and places; so, let us try to feel and show sweeter and tenderer domestic, social and religious sympathies as we uear tbe point where we must yield up our work and breath. As lucious fruits mature and mellow in the sunlight, let us ma ture and ripen the best and highest ele ments of our being, and thus leave to onr friends memories of onr best davs tbat will not shame, bnt bless them. Tbc Asbeville of today is much changed at.d in many things, not for the better, I think, from the Ashc vitle tbat knew me, and that I knew so intimateiy; nd yet I can never cease to be deeply interested in her material, in tellectual, moral a' d religious develop ment. May she ever be worthy of her noble citz- ns of former vers. who lab ored long and earnestly for tbe prosper ity tbey did not lire to see and enjoy. Bnt prosperity came, and in part, as tbe re sult of their wise planning and earnest endeavor. Of tbe "outside" reader I ask pardon for this too personal and local article. I know it seems unsuitable for a public journal, and yet I wanted to say these things, and much more, and nope I may , be pardoned. J. S. Burnett. Oct. 13, 1892. . Meetlv FrasMia. Ctu. Daniel fa..

Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 14- There are reports to the effect tbat Cbris Magee bas brought the Republicans to a basis of reconciliation which will bring all hands to the support ol tbe fnsion ticket. Tbe last report is tbat the two chairmen Mosely of the fusion wiLg and Stevens of the straight-suts are both to resign and new chairmen will take .their places at tbe bead of the new committee. It is also said tbat the straigbt-ont wings are to be "recognized" after the election. In this district it is reported tbat Vaughn, straight-out, and Parson's, fusion, are both to retire. Next Monday is tbe date taxed for this important trans action. Naturally, it is impossible to verify these rumors or find out the real truth. We anticipate with calmness tbe misrepresentation of our motives and purposes, instigated by a selfishness which seeks to hold in unrelenting grasp its unfair advantage under presto t tariff laws. We will rely upon tbe intelligence ot onr fellow countrymen to 'reject tbe charge that a party comprising a ma jority of our people is planning tbe de struction or injury of American interests, and we know they cannot be frightened bp tbe specter of impossible tree trade.

TBE CHILDREN DID IT. Tsst Wawssi Have Opesrd reiaasn' Ryes, Prow the Mew York Soa. The parade of tbe school children of the metropolis in commemoration of the discovery of America was a magnificent success. It was adisplar of training and development, mental and physicaL tbat was asgratifying to metropolitan and pa rental pride as it was pleasing to every eye that looked upon it. It was an ob ject lesson in grace and a study in beauty that aroused the enthusiastic praise of perhaps a million ol delighted spectators. For plainness and simplicity the scene at the reviewing stand was sufficient to satisfy tbe strictest of Democrats. Here was a man represcnung the great Amer ican Republic, with the governor of the Empire State on one side, the Governor.! of two other reat States on the other, and a dozen generals and colomls scat tered about them, to witness the celebra tion of one of the great st events in his- tory, and yet tbe awning above woul'l nave urcu uenr in luirty cents a vara. while the chairs upon which they sat can j be bought for STVi cents each. Imagine theOueen ot England or the German em purer watching actlebration of a great historical event from a chair costing 1H lci:cc or a mark and a half. I'.ctween the masses of people gathered to applaud and beneath the fluttering banners came tbe columns of schoolboys of the mclroplis. With head- erect, l with clear ryes and rounded smiling faces, with deep chests and solid limbs. ! thev marched along. Men who were I soldiers by profession, and veterans of I great experience looked on in wonder. Kank alter rank, touching elbows from curb to curb, strode along with never a break. In perfect unison, with elastic step, with eyes front in spite of distract ing applause, olieying every command niKtantlv and exactly, that column ol 22.000 schoolboys was a marvel. It was something of which tbe whole na tion might well be proud, for in no other nation of the world could such art exhibit of well-fed, well-trained, intelli gent childhood be brought together No wonder the crowds of spectators cheered ent htisiasticallv. If the rising generation can fight in manhood as well as they march in youth, there will be son.e marvell us soldiers about tbe metropolis in case of need ten or fifteen years from now. Following the Catholics was a small regiment from tbe Hebrew Orphan Asylum. It was beaded by the tiniest drum corps of the entire column; it is very likely tbe smallest and most youth ful corps of tbe kind intbecountry. Tbey did not appear to be over six years old at tbe mostLexcept tbe lad at tbe bass drum.whileseycral seemed to be not more than five. There were sixteen in all, in eluding tbe tot who was drum major. With musical scream and whirr oi file and drumsticks the liliputians ap proached the grand stand, tbe drum major whirling his baton bewildcringly until just opposite Gov. Flower. Then, stooping a bit, be tossed tbe baton fifteen feet in air. csught it in time witb tbe music, and, bringing bis left hand to his cap in tbe regulation salute, marched on with a dignity tbat was thrilling or ex cruciatingly lunny according as tbc spectator saw it. Tbe Indian pupils from tbe Carlisle school were tbe next in line. A brass brand with orerfifty instruments, played by Indian musicians, led tbe school. Then came four companies of tbc boys marching thirty-five abreast, and alter tbem four files of girls. Tbe boys wore a light blue uniform trimmed witb red braid, and tbe girls blouse dresses of navy bine flanneL As musicians tbey were well instructed, and as soldiers tbey were thoroughly drilled. In all these respects they were noticeable, but it was not these characteristics tbat drew and held tbe attention of tbe spec tators. It was not even their dignified bearing. The remark that was uttered by hundreds of spectators as these pupils marched indicates tbe tbongbt of all: "Look at those faces." Here were the types ol King Philip and Brant and Red J icket and Pontiac, and of the squaws who sat with tbe men about tbe council fires in tbe lorg house of tbc Iriquois, and were mothers of the warriors who made famous the League ot tbe Six Na tions at the North and tbe Cberokees. tbe Chickasaws, the Seminolcs, and the Creeks at the South. Tbe column could have spared any other company rather than this. From one end of tbe line to tne other it was a triumphal march for them, and it is not too much to say that the Carlisle school won tbc honors of tbe day. When tbe girls began to file on tbe stand, each taking ber appointed seat, the stand assumed the appearance of a big flower bed, for some of tbe girls were in white bats and cloaks, other were blue, while a third party was dressed in red. As under tbe directions of tbe teacher order began tp grow ont of tbe chaos, what bad been irregular groups of red changed suddenly into long stripes, and white stripes soon ap peared, one tor each of tbe scarlet lines. Finally tbe little groups of Woe resolved themselves into a solid background, on wbicb white stars appeared, and tbe crowd sbonted in approval mm seven buge Hvhijt American flags appeared on tbc stand, each one composed of 240 TaaMa fcer.
