Mr. Jones's statement.
J. Will Jones, of Faiivicw township,
make a statement to lilt: CrniiS
in regard to t lii-chargc made that County
Commissioner R. C. Clayton was
elected to his position on promises made
to prohihitioiiists that he would vote
igninst licensing of saloons. Mr. Jones
ays:
On Tuisdav morning bclorc the elec
tion I went to Mr. Clayton upon sug
gestion ol li. 1.1 Alaxaudcr, and ask
Mr. Clavton as to his nosition on the
liiiuor ii'ucstion. as there was some op
position to him because ol an idea that
he was a 'license' man Mr. Clayton
told me that he was not a candidate for
re-election, and .further, that, whenever
the iiiu stion is submitted to the board
mil I am sure we have the authority
will vote ncniust license.'"
'After the first ballot," Mr. loncs said
'I received this note from Mr. Chtyton
Withdraw my name in favor ol R. I.
ration, of Swannaiioa township, ami
oblige.' I voted for Mr. Clayton al
though he had (Iceland that he was not
a candidate, ami I am sure that when
ever the commissioners arc empowered
to refuse license he will vote against
ranting license to anyone. The state
ment that he received votes bv promis
ing to vote against liicnsc does Mr.
Clavton an injustice, and 1 led it my
duly to state what 1 know to be the
facts in the matter."
SIR. CLAYTON'S POSITION.
over them. As it is. they submit to cer
tain restrictions named above.
Now, in conclusion, let me say that 1
don't drink myself, and 1 condemn the
whiskey trafhe as hems; the greatest evil
and curse on earth; and just how to get
rid of it is the puzzle. I think the best
plun is to have our next members to tnc
legislature to repeal the law, as it now
is, and let the whole county have a vote,
instead of the corporation of Asheville;
and I believe it will be put out of the
county. Our country ieople are indig
nant over the fact that they have io
vote on licence or no license in the
county.
1 am sorry to say tnni some oi our
country people go to Asheville, and not
being accustomed to drinking; reguiariy,
one or two drinks gets them oil their
balance. Then it is that the police
mnrclies them tiu to hcaduutirtcrs to an
swer the charge, or rather to furnish the
city money to carry on public improve
ments. And you see irom me reports oi
arrests that there seems to be a rivalry
between the police as to who gets the
most of the unfortunates.
1 reoeat that if the law was changed
so that the commissioners could give re
lief, Ifor one will say : "Oct the behind tnc,
Satan." ISut 1 will not stiller a mono
poly in the whiskey tralfic, if 1 can pre
vent it. 1 tal-e tnc stand mat a dozen is
better than one, as long as men will
drink, and the law says it is right I say
si iK-i-ale them as much as possible. Per
haps my opinion is wrong, but 1 cannot
sec it that way.
Now. vou can call tnc "a wet commis
sioner." if vou like, but that docs not
make it true nevertheless. 1 don't like a
ni'wsnaoer controversy, but I feel that
ihrimL'h vour columns, injustice has
been done nic. and nothing will satisly
me or my friends, except a publication of
niv position.
1 know that the bell cord, as you say,
has to be nulled tiuhllv over some mules,
ntu 1 know none that needs it pulled
ti'dncr over them than the "Tattler"
who makes false reports to your col
umns re ! a id inn mv position on the

to one or two others, Mr. llallylmrton
included. Hut 1 invariably told each one
that 1 was not a candidate for com
missioner nnd did not want the place,
and while the balloting was going on for
commissioners 1 was at. my p ist of duty
in the commissioner's room. I sent notes
to my friends to withdraw mv name,
and these notes can he produced. And
here, 1 thank my friend, Mr. Reynolds,
for his card in Tin: Citizi;n corroborating
this statement.
So ou sec your "Tattler," as you call
him, is oil'. Again your columns "iy tlu
t w'olneetlncss of someof the commission
ers does not command the respect of any
one. I can say that 1 never intentionally
misled any one, and any one saying the
contrary states an absolute falsehood.
Now to corroborate my statements:
Any one is at liberty to ask Mr. J. F.
Uankin and Mr. M. 1
done on Tuesday, when the iucstion ol
license came up. 1 demanded thc(UCstioti
of license or no-license. Mr. Kanki.i,
chairman of the board, said that he
could not do that as the corporation ol
Asheville had fixed that by a majority
voting license wet. Then I demanded
the advice of the county attorney, Mr.
M.I!. Carter, thinking and hoping to
find some Haw whereby I could slop the
license. Mr. Carter looked up the law,
mil cx-udge Moore, being present, and
Thos. loncs, counsel for nlainlifls, who
were against a oar room on ration ave
nue, all conceded mat uic law wouiii
force the commissioners to grant n li
cense; that the corporation had voted it,
and the eon missioncrs had no discretion
except as to location and how many
bars it would take to supply the demand.
Then I took the ground that it was not
demanded. Mr. Carter advised that wc
had no discretion there. So 1 did not
propose to let it be made a monopoly of
when there were various parlies apply
ing for license. Hence, my voting for the
liar 011 ration avenue, ana not as tin-:
Cn iziiN would make it appear, though
what he ouotcs me as saving was one
consideration, lis up to that time, 1 had
never heard a single voice Irom that por
tion ot the city condemning whiskey,
though I felt, before leaving the room,
that 1 had made ((mistake in casting
that vote. Who docs not make mis
takes, sometimes Though, I suppose,
those who condemn 111c do not, as thev
ire continually throwing stones. Let
those who arc not guilty east the first
stone."
Again I sec llominv indignant at the
commissioners, pist because they do
no', understand the matter. A little
while back they condemned the
com missioncrs for granting license for
selling beer, by the bottle, (and not
teross the counter I at a restaurant at
Sulphur springs, and since then some of
the partus who condemn tlicm came up
nt the last meet ing of the board and
asked for license to sell whiskey at the
same place. The license were grunted
under restrictions that they would sur
render the license in case they sold to
any others than guests of the hotel; and
the same restrictions applies to Kenil
worth. Had Cue board not done that,
as the low now is, those parties would
apply to the legislature lor special hotel
license. As the legislature often grants
9iecial license to such places, then the
commissioners would have no control

Cleveland and anti-Clcvelard factions is
so nearly known that the oniy clement
of doubt now remaining effects those
states which are suspected ol having 11
secret predilection for favorite sons.
The managers of the ex-president's
campaign this morning display with a
great deal of ostentation a carefully pre
pared table winch gives cicveianu unu
votes on the fust ballot just 1'J votes
short ol a I wo thirds vote lor nomina
tion. The anti Cleveland tactions,
among which may lie included not only
the forces of Senator Hill, but also those
ol lloies. Cray and the secret but very
earnest workers of .Senator Gorman, de
ride as unreasonably extravagant these
figures ol the Cleveland leaders ana as
sert that their investigations show that
the ex-iircs:dent is assured ot but little
over 11 maioiitv on the first ballot.
Thev still maintain that a failure of
Cleveland to be nominated on the first
ballot will so demoralize his forces that
a riinid disintegration will immediately
follow and the race will then become one
ol the dark horses.
l'robably the most uncertain feature
in the whole contest just at this time is
the attitude of Senator Ciorman, ol
Maryland, lie is here as a lender of his
state delegation as delegate at large and
outwardlv maintains that he is devoted
10 the candidacy of Cleveland, but des
pite this assertion his name is more dis
cusfcd than that of anv other as a com
promise candidate around, whom must
rally all factions and scattering delegates
opposed to the rcnomination ot the ex
president.
;oniiu.r.llrly Worn.
Iw,r ?' hours secret emissaries of
I'.nim.nn have been ceaselessly engaged
in cnnv.issini' various southern delega
tions to ascertain the disposition which
the southern people manliest toward
(lortnan as a eomiironnse candidate to
inse ot s to a the heritage 01 tnc
Cleveland forces. Hut the Cleveland
forces in the south, strange to say, don't
seem disposed to be inherited by any
body tust now at least not so long us
thev think there is a hopeful chance for
the cx-nrcsident's nomination.
It was confidently expected by Con
man 's friends that his record as leader
ot the opposition in deleating the repub
lican lorce bill would bring to him rapid
accessions from those southern dclcga
lions to whose vision the force bill still
looms up as a political nightmare when
ever its passage is urged by the northern
republican conventions or orators. A
diligent canvassoi'thesoiithcrn delegates,
however, d cs not show an outspoken
preference for Gorman of more than an
average of two or three men in each del
egation, and southerners generally arc
verv emiihatic in maintaining that their
only choice just at this time is Cleveland.
The protestations of Senator Gorman
that he must not oc rcgurocu as u
candidate arc considered quite nat
ural and indeed the inevitable dec
laration of any candidate who is on
the ground, as it is the unwritten law ol
democratic ethics, that no man shall at
tend a national convention as a seeker
for presidential nomination, ror this
reason the senator's reiteration ot Ins
loyalty to Cleveland and his declaration
that he is not a candidate are not re
ceived with that unnucstioncd credence
which might be awarded to a dcclara
linn ol the crcat Maryland senator
mum nearly any other subject; and so it
i that the 'man who is the cvnostirc ot
all eves and whose movements are ea
