THE ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN Wednesday Evening, November 2, 1892. ASHEVILLE DAILY CITIZEN Tbb Diii.t Citizen, Democratic, Is published every afternoon (except Sunday) at the fol lowing rate attictly cash: One Ybar $0.00 Six Months 3.00 Thkbb Months 1.60 Onb Month 60 OnbWbbk - 16 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, ISO-'. To the Joint Hoard: The street rail way matter is a dead duck, (jet on to some really live issue. In this free country where the people rule they can engage in no more impor tant business than voting Therefore let every voter, every Democrat, at least, on next Tuesday drop all other business and attend strictly to the supremely im portant work of securing a full vote. Tun whole State will hear with pain that Senator Kansoui has overworked himself, and is now so seriously ill that he must retire from the campaign, lie has done an immense deal of the hardest work in the past few weeks and has made hundreds of votes for Democracy. We hope to hear soon that the Senator is fully recovered. The way out of the lluxtoiiaiul Spring street paving contention, it seems to us, is to pave both of them if the abutting property owners so desire and the city has the money. Heavier loads can be hauled up the Spring street route, and it should be remembered that the street is a much used thoroughfare for all country teams, with tobacco and produce, coin ing into the city. We feel sure that ludge Moore could not haye meant to say just what he was understood to say in the Joint Hoard meeting yesterday: "It may be that public sentiment will not be with you, but what care this Hoard for public sen timent?" asif it cared, and should care, very little. As a matter of fact, when you have ascertained public sentiment in au American community you have dis covered the sentiment that must govern its servants, the mayors and boards ol aldermen and such small potatoes. It is not American to make light ol the will ol the people. It isgetting tiinctoclose the campaign when a goat comes in as a moving force. A dispatch from San Antonio, Tex., says ex-Govcrnor Ireland would have been on the stump before now in behalf of Hogg a man, not an animal if when he, Ireland, was coming through a pasture lot a lew day s ago a billy goat had not struck Him from behind i way billy goats have had from the beginning. "The Texas statesman," continues the account, "was kuocked down and re peatedly struck by the goat, lie made vain endeavor to ward oil' the blows with his feet, but was not successlul in doing so. He was rescued by neighbors and taken home, where he has remained ever since." Yes, it is time to close the campaign in Texas, anyway. HAH HIS REASONS. Why Mr. Foulkc Left the Kt'puh licau Parly: W. D. I-'oulke. late a Kepublican. I am unwilling to vote for a I 'resident who supported Mahone and (Juay and Piatt and gave them the patronage o Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York until they were overthrown iii popular elections. 1 will not vote for a President who promised to enforce the civil service law and then permits the violation of one ol its vital provisions in regard to assess ment of l'ederal office holders to go tin rebuked. 1 will not vote (or a President who gave to John Wanamakcr. in considera tion of the raising of an enormous cam paign fund, the place of Postmaster General. I am unwilling to vote for a President who has turned the census bureau into political plunder, and who has appointed a commissioner the result of whose work no man believes. I am unwilling to vote for a president who has secured his own renomiuation largely by his own ofliee holders and who is attempting to impose a second term upon the country by virtue, not ol his merits, but by the patronage he con trols: who watches at the White House the wires which connect him with his official subordinates in Minneapolis and who sends out his orders and his prom ises to perpetuate himself in power. I do not wish to vote for a party which establishes a system to protect the product of labor against foreign couiie tition and which fails to piotcet the lab orer against the immigration of the competitive pauper laborer of Kuroiie: a party which, under the guise of recipro city, places in the hands of the President alone the autocratic power of raising revenue; a party which represents pater nalism against liberty; which gives to the government thepowcrof establishing and promoting industries that ought to depend upon individual energy and exer tion; a party which relies upon special favors in tariff laws, in silver legislation and in appointment to office for the rais ing ol a vast campaign fund to corrupt the people in their quadrennial elections, dividing it among blocks of fives, under mercenary leaders, with instructions to see that none of the floaters get away. "POLITICAL, BLOCKHEADS." Kepubllcaus Who Are Said to Meed Montb padlocks. From the Raleigh Signal (Rep.) It is perfectly conclusive that the speeches of Furchcs, Amis, Blackburn and Linncy have strengthened the Demo crats wherever they have spoken. We did not expect anything better of lur ches, Amis and Blackburn. These three political blockheads had so little sense that they were in favor of ihe nomina tion of a State ticket, and they are ex hibiting every day their incompetency to lead a ward meeting much less in a State contest. Mr. Linney is a man of sense and abil ity, and we are surprised that he should . have lost bis head. Violence, abuse, vi lification and slander does not make votes. We haye evidence that the speeches of these four men have driven men oack into tne ueruocnmc puny who went to bear these speakers, hop ing they would be convinced that it waj their duty to vote against the Demo cratic party. It is a great pity that all four, Furcbes, Blackburn, Amis and Lin ney, cannot U arrested for creating nui sances wherever they speak, and held in custody until the day after election. If this quartette of Democratic aiders and and abetters cannot be squelched in this summary manner, we "hall undertake to put y ale locks on their mouths when t titer come to Raleigh. STREET RAILWAY AGAIN JOIN T BOARD HAS ANOTHKK .;, TVSSLK WITH IT. I'lie Hoard I'asses a HcHolutiuii Declaring All Hie KlKlitH of the Company Forfeited, but Kecon Kideri. null llrauls Time. The Joint Hoard yesterday afternoon held its meeting, argued and moved and moved and argued fur two hours and finally succeeded, as J. Wiley Shook would say of "Uncle Tommy" Ferguson, in coming out just w here it went in at. The meeting was helo for the purpose of hearing the Aslieville Street Railway company, which bad been cited to ap pear, but when business began the com pany was not in cite, so to speak. Mayor iSlaiitou was present, as well as Advisors Green, Miller, Williams, Bear den, Cummings; Aldermen Waddell, Sturnes, McDowell, Haird anil, later, Leonard. Soon alter the mectini opened Messrs. W. W. Jones, Clias. A. Moore ami J. G. Mcrrimou, tl'C city's attorneys employed in the street railway suits, tiled into the council room and the lair -sued crowd outside the railing settled itstl! lor au afternoon ol argument. The Fun Ht-gKix. Mr. CiiiiuniiiL'S read the notice ordered served by last Friday's Joint Hoard ses sion on the Aslieville Street Railway company, notifying the company to ap pear before the lioard on Tuesday ( ves teidav) and show cause why its liulil to run cars over the city's .streets should not be declared forfeited. On the back of the notice was the return ot Patrol man Gudger, who had served the notice Tuesday morning on li. M. Jones, secre tary and treasurer. Mayor lilantou asked if the company had a representative present to answer the complaint. There was a paiulul silli ness for a few moments, anil there was no answer to the question. '1 lie Kc-Holuliun . Then after waiting lor Counsel Jones to draw up a resolution, the Hoard was entertained by the reading of the resolu tion, which follows: "Whereas, The Hoard of AMcriucn have issued notice to the Aslieville Street Railway company to appear belorc the Hoard ol Aldermen and Advisory com mittee, to show cause, on the 1st ilav ol November, why their rights to um over the streets ot the city ol Ashevilie shall not be forfeited, etc., and the said railway company h.-is been duly served with notice and has failed to show cause or give any excuse liirfailure to comply with the law mpiiriug the said eompauv to pave its said track and put lhcs,nic in proper condition ami icpair as rnjuiic ! by law ; it is '"Resolved, That, by the l'.oaid ol Al dtruHiiauil Advisory eoniu.uuc in tin exercise ol their dise icsmoii, the Siiiit Street K.iihvav company has loiiiludall ol its rights, privileges and franchise to run its ears over the streets of said i ity, and that all ordinances ami contracts herctoloie made with the city by said company are hereby resciiuieil anil rc pealed." It's Adopted Mr. Cummings moved the adoption ol the resolution, his second being .Mr. Wil liams. Mr. Miller frankly told the Hoard he thought the thing was cut ol order, as, in bis opinion, it had no business in the Joint Hoard, the Hoard of Aldermen, ill his mind, being the proper body. The motion for the adoption of the resolution then came up, and prevailed, by the following vote: Ayes, Cuniniings, Williams, Green. Hearden, McDowell, H.tiril li; nays. Staines, Miller. Wad dell;!. Mr. Starnes CNplaincd his vote by saying that the Aldermen had never taken any action on the orde-r passed by the Joint Hoard Friday. Whereupon Mr. Starnes was informed by Mayor Plan ton that it was not necessary for that Hoard to take action. Hut Mr. Starnes did not seem satisfied. The other Side Appears. Here Alderman Leonard came into the room, followed soon after by Messrs. J. 11. Mcrrimou, F. A. Souelley, Thos. A. Jones and Jno. P. Arthur, representing the Aslieville Street Railway company. When they entered Mr. Waildell moved that the vote on the resolution be recon sidered and the company's representa tives given a chance to be heard. Thiscnr ricd.and the counsel wcreinvited to seats inside the railing. Judge Merrimon re plied that it looked rather dangerous inside, and did not change his seat, lie said he would enter a plea for special appearance. "The proceeding," he said, "is out ot the oreler of proeeedure. In a quarter of a century's practice I never knew anything so summary, where the arrest oeeurcd in the morning and the execution in the afternoon of the same day. We ask no favors of this Hoard, and wc expect none. We do say that this body has not juriselicti in, and ask to be given until next Friday at 3 o'clock." W. W. Jones argued that it was an easy matter for the company to state why it had not done certain work, and that it was proper lor the Hoard to take action at once if the company did not ex plain. The Board "liiHiilleU." Chas. A. Moore then rose to his feet and be was hot. He thought it very im portant that action be taken right away. Mr. Mcrrimou had not shown the proper respect to the Hoard nor to the gentle men on the other side. It was a fact known to every man in the room, said Mr. Moore, that the company's tracks in every part oit lie town were a nuisance. Horses and men, he said, arc continually being knocked down by contact with the wires. "They say," suid Mr. Moore, "that corporations are without souls. This one is certainly without gratitude. They come here and insult you. after you have given them notice in a business iike way. They don't pretend to say that they will do the work. It nmv be tliiit public sentiment will not be with you, but what care this Hoard for public sen timent ? I have no feeling in the matter, but I am sorry Mr. Merriment spoke as ne uiu." Meant No "Inimlt." Mr. Mcrrimou arose instantly and disclaimed any intention of being dis courteous to the Board in any of his re marks. The case, he said, bad no parallel. The company bad not been notified until 9 o'clock, and therefore bnd only half a day in which to prepare themselves. They could not do it. Even when noti fied they were engaged in preparing an answer to a motion to be argued in the Supreme court Thursday, to decide whether the city could bring suit for the forfeiture ol the company's charter. Mr. Waddell moved that the company be given until next Friday. This was seconded by Mr. Starnes, who said that the notice had not been served right, and he regarded the extension of time noth ing but fair. The matter was further argned by F. A. Sondley, W. W. (ones and Jas. H. Merrimon, the latter of whom said be was surprised to bear the opposing council making stump speeches, "just to whoop the boys up." Mr. Leonard made the longest speech Tax Ciiubm remembers having heard him make in a Hoard meeting. He said South Main Street now was impassable and that the ear line or the citizens would have woulil have to be kept off that street, lie was not in favor ol'graiiting time to the company. No "Time," Hutu I'osipuiiemeul" The question was then upon the adop t itn of the motion of Mr. Waddell giving the company the time asked. The vole stood: Avis, Green, Starnes, Miller, Waddell, Hearden o; uavs, Ciiiniiiings, Will iams, Mel lowed, Leonard, Haird ."i. There being a tie Mayor Hlanton voted no and Mr. Waildell's motion was killed. Mr. Ciiiniiiings then moved the adop tion of the original forfeit arc resolution, unless the ctmipnuv's counsel would make some statement. This thev did not do. Cnpt. Natt Atkinson lold the Hoard he had heard that Presitlint Mar tin, ol the company, exH'c.cd to hold a consultation with his associates within the next forty-eight hours, and the Cap tain suggested a postponement ol action until Friday, as it scemeil prouaole llial this vexed qtiestiem might be settled be lorc that time. Mr. Hearileu then moved to postpone ceuiMilcratiou ol the icsoliiliou until next Friday. The whole Hoard, with the ex ception of Messrs. McDowell and Leon ard, voted lor this motion, the resolution went over, and the lioard was just where it was before :t went in. Wauls Nprliiit street I'nvt'd. Capt. Natt Atkinson asked that the Hoard reconsider its decision to pave Huxtein street, and cousieler theclaims of Spring street. The latter route, he said, was a much l etter grade, and .illo feet shorter than Huston street. Alter con siderable talk, in which Mr. Green de clared that Sprirg street accommodated I'e.ichlree Row, the question was left to a committee composed ol Messrs. Mc Dowell, Leonard, Ciiiniiiings, Haird, and Miller to report on the best route next Friday. The Street committee was instituted to notiu Contractor A. M. Smith how inueh i.i ing he had vet te do to com plete his Depot street contract. The Cin Attorney was instructed to go to Raleigh to prosecute in the Su preme court the motion allmlcd to ill the street railway discussiein. lie Two I iiikIh.
