ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN: WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY U. 18J)1 THE DAILY CITIZEN. By RANDOLPH-KERR PRINTING CO.

BATTBRY PAKK NEWS STAND. OLBN ROCK NBWS STAND. MODEL CIGAR STOKB. Patton Ave. WBHNKSDAY. JANUARY H. 18il. Two Delegate?)' Report. So far Thb Citizkn has seen but one report to the officials of any county on the work of commissioners appointed to the Immigration convention held here in December. J. A. Deal and V. A. Curtis, delegates from Macon county. Have pub lished the results of their attendance on the convention and, though neither very elaborate nor strikingly original, it may vet be found helpful and we publish sonic of its best features. One of the delegates interviewed Mr, Patrick, secretary of the state board of immigration, and from him received the following plan of cam paign : "1. Franklin should procure a charter from the immigration bureau, so that she may thus contribute her share in bc ind advertised abroad, cost $!!". "2. A further tax of should be paid for representation at fairs. "3. Two cases tilled with minerals, grains, grasses, etc., should be furnished, also a photograph ot Franklin or some prominent view near by, with an abund ance of local descriptive circulats, etc. These will 1 showti and distributed at all fairs held, North and south, and in Europe. "And further, since almost nothing can be done in the way ol development with out a ruilroad, all hind sold must beat a low tigute, and all business remain in a feeble condition, we would respectfully suggest that our railroad company be required to come forward, show what is being done with the trust committed to them, and urged to take steps at once to wards seeming the railroad lacilities so greatly needed and so much desiied." These recommendations have at least the merit of bei"g comparatively inex pensive, while, at the same time they could not fail, il carried out in their lull intent and purpose, to aid Macon county materially. It is altogether possible that Ashcville could secure some valuable hints from the report ol Messrs. Deal and Curtis. Official Report. Thk Citizen suggests that the state officers ought to send out their reports to distant papers in advance of deliver ing them to the Raleigh papers. Their reports might well be marked "not to be used before a certain day," anil sent out in advance. Any paper violating confidence would not be likely to ollend again. Thk Citizkn is mistaken as to the gov ernor's message there was but one copy and that in manuscript. The News and Observer's report was taken down at the reading in the house. Raleigh News and Observer. The idea Tin; Citikkn tried to convey was that state officers should so send out their reports that every paper in the state would receive them at about the same day the very same day, if possi ble. The delivery of the magazines, the Century and Harper, will more clearly illustrate our meaning. One can buy them in San Francisco the same day ol the month that they appear in New York. As to the governor's message, it is ol course put into type some time. Why not a week belore its delivery so that it could lc in even- newspaper office in North Carolina to be printed on notice from the capital that it had been delivered by the governor? There is supposed to be in formation in the governor's message for the people. Give them an opportunity to know what he says. Another thing: Where is the official record ol the proceedings ol the legisla ture? The Raleigh papers donotalways agree as to the disposal ol legislative business. We have noted some difference already and are unable to know which, if either, is correct. In the meantime the people can guess at what the legislature is doing; it is not possible to Amur. Mr. Deaver'H Threat. It appears from Mr. Deaver's letter in The Citizen yesterday that he is just now performing in the role of the sword of Damocles. If the city administration does not borrow any more money the sword will not fall. If it does borrow money swish, down comes the Heaver guillotine and unless the dodging is very lively some one will see his political head rolling in courthouse square. Now, The Citizen is entirely in sym pathy with any sincere attempt to better the administration of city affairs, and be cause that seemed the purpose of the gen tlemen said to possess Mr. Heaver as a figure head we were in hopes that what they asserted they meant. If Mr. Blai ton and his associates have administered the city affairs with reckless prodigality or illegally every citizen in Asheville, as well as The Citizen, was, and is, inter ested. He would do the public a valua ble service who should institute an in quiry intended to bring about a reform in any branch of the city government. But it appears t hat Mr. Dcaver and his support were not in earnest. They meant only to scare the mayor and the aldermen. What promised to be a seri ous play turns out to be a new kind ol opera bouffe, with Mr. Deaver at the footlights behind a mask calculated to strike terror to the heart of the children in arms, but not greatly to be feared by grown men. A TRi'l.v original soul who must be lonesome in his conception of the stan dard of the eternal fitness of things is JohnF. Hewitt, of Los Angeles, Cal. He was A soldier in the federal army and suffers greatly to this day from diseases brought on during the war. Neverthe less he has returned his pension certifi cate for cancellation, because, as he says, "I feej it would be wrong to receive pension, as I am well enough to make my own living without it at present." Thb alliance in North Carolina is dem ocratic. . Col. Polk was not a candidate. SENATOR VANCE'S SPEECH ACCEPTING THK NOMINATION THE FOI KTH TIME. The Senator HnyM That, When the Weather Ih Cloudy, He Cannot Tell mi Alllaiiceiuaii From a Democrat Down the Republi can Party. From the UulciKh News anil Ohstrver. The vote in caucus on Senator Vance's icnoniinatiou was taken by rising, and every man on the floor with a common impulse rose to his fuel. The bouse then gave a prolonged outburst of applause. On motion a committee composed ol Messrs. Long, of Columbus; Aril rev, of Mccklingburg, and Pickett, ol Anson, was scut to escort Senator Vance into the hall. In a lew minutes the senator was es corted in amid shouts and waving of bats, the audience rising to its feel. VANCE STEAKS. Senator Vance addressed the caucus and said : "I stand here to-night to thank you for the fourth time lor the nomination ol I'niied States senator. iMiriug the time I have represented you I may not have done it wisely i. r ably, but 1 have done it honestly and faitlilnllv. During the thirty six years in which I have served niv people. 1 am proud to say t'nev have never had occasion to blush on my ac count. You may not have had occasion to lie proud, but you have had no oc casion to be ashamed ol my name. Changishavctnkcu place. Calamity and disaster have been our fortune ; but they have been overcome with a fortitude and heroism that entitles the people ol North Carolina to be ranked among the bravest and noblest of the world. When the w ar closed there w as a great inflation of the currency. There was more money than in many years before. Taking advantage ot it and thinking they could cllcet anything they desired, a system of legislation was begun tortile benefit ol the lew at the expense ol the manv. Il ha been kept up twenty-five years, and not a line has been placed on the statute b ioks in that period for the amelioration ol the masses. I he national wealth lias liecn nitgiuvuiul to a marvel uus degree. Hut with the wheat sprung up the tares. With the prospii it came an amount of evil in proportion. The wealth was not properly distributed. It was concentrated in the liaudsol the few. "Tie gnat volume of the people be came poorer. " flic business field became full of trusts anil combinations, which enabled those engage I therein lo reap euornioas lor tui.es. National banks were given a monopoly, which kit them the entire field, and re noved all competition. Sil ver was demonetized, and the price of gold was enhanced. A law was passed that bonds and interest on tl.eiu should lie paid in gold and not in currency. "The trusts on the other hand were maiulaiiieii by the high protective tariff. Tin re is now scarcely an article ol ne cessity that is not controlled by these combinations instead of by the law of si pplv and demand. It is now being uu blushingly attempted in suppress com merce nltogn her. Tins operates pecul iarly upon the agricultural products ot thiscountry. The tat ill' law effe is "." per cent of our agricultural products. It is our agricultural products that have saved us from financial disaster as it is. There is not an evil that you have to complain of that is not the PiKi c r rem'i.t or this i.i:oisi a mix. "There is not a monopoly or evil that does not trace its birth lo it. There has not Ircii a fall in the price of the farmer's products that is not caused by ill is dis criminating, iiiunst anil unmm legisla tion. As prool of thi it is only necessary to point to the desperate measures that the republican parly is resorting to per petuate itsill in power. In order to pre vent the repeal ol tins legislation by which their friends have latlcncd. thev nave annulled new states into the union to swell their strength. They have thrust them in to fortily themselves in the senate. Hut they refused other states admission which have more popu lation but arc democratic. 'Thev are attempting to take chartrr of elections o! congressmen in the south by the passage of the force bill, and t here is dangi-r that it may be enacted into a law. When that is done there will be no check upon them. Aow reform is imiH-rativelv demand ed. Violence and physical force arc not resorted to until all other agents fail, but it this policy continues it will not be long till other means than argument and harangue will have to be used. "If 1 know mvself 1 would not advo cate class legislation. I would not build up one class at the ex)iense of another. "The eternal piiuciples of justice re quire that no difference should be made, and yet every interest has fattened lor a quarter of a century at the expense of agriculture. This is a dual government and a government of limited powers. There is a tendency to look too much to the national government lor redress of grievances which is in our power to cure. You should look to it that the legislature of North Carolina exercises its full powers in such matters. "Hut whatever you do, the reformsyoii wish lor can never lie entirely accom plished unless you remove this party entirely Irom power. And to do that you must be in harmony upon the re forms you demand. ' When I observed'the workings of the Farmers' Alliance in other states, I began to fear that it was going as far in the other extreme as the republican party nan none at tne nrst. "But 1 am happy to say that I cannot now see anv reason to liar that from the Alliance in North Carolina. In fact on a cloudy day 1 cannot tell an Allianceman from a democrat. And if unity and har mony will continue and democrats and Alliancemen will recognize the fact that their ends and aimsare the same, concord will be maintained, and a political army will be formed the fluttering of whose banners without a shot will do the work. I predict that 1802 will tell the story." Senator Vance closed with a lienutiful eulogy upon North Carolina. Her honor and prosperity would always be his heart's desire and his prayer to God. The caucus the udjourned. .IT WASHINGTON The fijjht over the force bill is to lie re sumed, if possible, as soon as the silver bill is disposed of. The trial of Onirics B. Kincnid for the murder of ex congressman Taulbec will begin in Washington January 26. Proceedings hove been begun in the United States supreme court with a view to having that tribunal pass upon the question of the jurisdiction of the United States over the waters of Behring sea. In the United States senate, sp.cclics in favor of the free coinage of silver were made by Senators Allen, Berry and Cock rell. In the house, the resolution in re gard to the alleged silver pool was taken from the committee on rules and referred to a special committee. The bouse again took up the army appropriation bill, and a long political debate ensned. PERSOSS ASD PLACES. It is said to be a curious fact that all of the girls in VVellesley college who lead their classes are blondes. There is said to lie a strong sentiment in Arkansas against the convict lease system, and the legislature will Ik asked to abolish it.
