After UettlnK the Court' House Pull of Republicans Piltcliard Declines to Meet Crawford In the Farmer's Warehouse. A band wagon was the attraction for the Republican crowd on Court Square this morning. It drove up easily and planting itself in front of the National bank of Asheville waited to watch the effect. The wagon was filled with a most marvellous looking dram majorwbo bad high hat and a seat with the driver, and a dozen other colored voters in more modest apparc'. The bootblacks sur rounded the cLariot end grew enthu siastic. After three quarters of an hour of this and similar excitement Major Rollins came up from his government office in a four horse carriage driven by Govern ment Mail Carrier Sam Harmon. This made the wildest kind of enthu siasm among the bootblacks and horse-, holders, lhc horses wore Pntchard Protection badges. Maj. Rollins drew himself up proudly and drove on down North Main street behind the band wagon and followed by five or seven nuestnans, among whom Government Messenger Harrison Hrown rode elo quently. Mr. Pritchard was found several miles out in the country and put into the car riage already occupied by the major alongside with Government Postmaster Cannon and ex-Government Postmaster Gudger. Thus arranged Mr. Pritchard declared his readiness to be overwhelmed with enthusiasm. Al the Square. The procession came along into North Main street and passed up to the square doing its own yelling. Hardly a man of the hundreds packed on the sidewalks moved his lungs, Jim Pcnland, of course, excepted. The parade was headed by Chairman Tompkins and thedrummnjor nrround whose hands was festooned a flag. The band played a piece and Mr. Pritchard, in a carriage right behind it, leaned his ear rather heavily on his hand and wore a gratified look. Amidst si lence that could be lelt even more than the north wind and broken only by the noise of tb paraclers, the Republican cavalcade wound itself down Patton venue down by the Church street grave yards and over by way ol Willow street to South Main, and then duck to the square and down to Republican head quarters where Mr. Pritchard withdrew. ilis place in the carriage was immediate ly taken by a colored voter who was riven triumphantly through the crowd ed square to Woodbury's stable by Gov ernment Mail Carrier Harmon. The men and boys who made up the pi occa sion disbanded and broke fur the scats on the south side of the court room. Mr Crawford's Friends In Line. The Democratic escort for Hon. Wil liam T. Crawford gathered, both on the Square and all along the route. Mayor Wanton, John Y. Jordan, W. P. Ran dolph, R. P. alkcr and a large crowd on horseback went three miles out the Ueaverdam road to meet the popular young statesman on his way into the city from Weavcrville and gave him such a reception as lie nasn t bad since the campaign opened. It was a genuine ex hibition of Democratic love lor an able leader. The Crawford crowd was full of en thusiasm from forehead down, and waved flags and banners jubilantly, thinking of the victory that they have in view next Tuesday. At every bouse along the route Democracy's brilliant oung representative was greeted with cheers. Mr. Crawford had the crowd on his side. The whole muss of iicople along the streets on court square hud loyally been reserving its enthusiasm lor him and hist as soon as his carriage rolled around the corner at Patton avenue and Haywood street, after traversing the latter thoroughfare, the cheers broke out in one mighty stream, growing in volume as the Congressman was driven through the densely crowded streets. bvcrybody yelled and the omect ol their admiration took off his hat und saluted them all. A long string of horseback riders, forming a fine bodv of voters, fol lowed Mr. Crawford s carriage, while platoon of mounted police rode in front. Mr. Lrawlord s iriends took mm through the business streets where the cheering was continued, and at 11:35 brought up at the square, where it ap peared that the whole town had sud denly gathered. Nothing else would do but that a Democratic handshaking must follow, and tbecrowd surged around the carriage, to the music of hundreds ol Democratic throats and grasped their leader by the hand lor fifteen minutes. During this tune a handsome bunch ot chrysanthemums with the compliments of Master George Randolph was handed the Congressman. Republican Unfairness. Jeter Pritchard and his managers dis tinguished themselves by their treatment of Mr. Crawford today. Recognizing the fact that the court house was too small to hold the crowd that they knew would be on band to bear the jont dis cussion, the leaders managed to cut the Republican parade short so as to get their side into the court house first. The result was that when the Democrats tried to get in they found that the room was already pretty well tilled with Re publicans, black and white, although there were fewer Republicans in town than Democrats. Mr. Crawford realized the unfairness of this and he promptly decided to try to arrange for a speaking at the banners warehouse. Accordingly he went to Republican headquarters with Chairman C. T. Rawls of the Democratic club, John Y. Jordan and R. P. Walker, to see if Pritchard was will ing. They found he was not. The Democrats tried to convince Mr, Pritchard that it would be only fair to make arrangements to accomodate the crowd, but failed. "I've spoken every where else without stopping to inquire into Uie politics of the crowd," said Pritchard stubbornly. "Yes" exclaimed Government Clerk J. U. Reed with a great show of magnanim ity as he thought of the small court room full of Republicans; "we don't care what the politics of the crowd arc." "If you nre not williug to meet Mr. Crawford, we'll let you substitute some body else to make your speech," said Bob Walker bluntly. "No sir; I won't agree to that" Pritch ard hastened to reply. "I'm not running this campaign by proxy. 1 won't speak in the warehouse." "But," argued Mr. Jordan, "you must remember that Mr. liwnrt spoke there two years ago, and" "Yes I remember," broke in the dis gruntled Republican candidate, "and I remember that he was howled down, too. Ewart flashed down there, and he told me never to speak in the warehouse." John Jordan chuckled. "I'll admit," he said, "that we have tbe crowd on you today, three to one, but will see that you have a fair hearing." "I don't intend to have any confes sion at all," replied Pritchard doggedly. Mr. Jordan offered again to guarantee a perfectly quiet hearing and Mr. Walker offered to get tbe crowd in the warehouse and close the doors as a precaution against a disturbance. Ux-Govcrnent Postmaster Gudger however, broke in with tbe remark that Mr. Pritchard said he would'nt go the warehouse, and that was all there was about it. Afraid to Meet Crawford. "Yes gentlemen, that's my ultimatum'' assented Jeter. "If Mr. Crawford wants to go there be can." Hut exclaimed Crawford, as a lust appeal, "my crowd can't get in the court house and you know it. Hints all right returned His oppo nent. "I'll scak where I was udver issed." An effort was made to have Pritchard agree to an open nir speaking but with a show of hoarseness the Republican refused. That settled it and Mr. Crawford, Mr. Rawls, Mr. Jordan and Mr. Walker with drew leaving the Republican managers to pat each other oyer their backbones for the success of their little game. hen Mr. Crawford came out, an im mense crowd fell in behind him, cheering all the time. Pritchard made his way to his audicnec'of Federal office-holders and colored voters in the court room. Al I lie Farmer's Warehouse. Going on to the warehouse at the head of his followers, and encouraged by never dimishing cheers, Mr. Crawford prepared for an hour and a half of good Democratic argument. Th." central part of the vast building was soon packed densely, and there was no delay in wait ing on a crowd. Chairman Rawls, in introducing Mr. Crawford said there never was such a white Ucmocralic majority anywhere else as there is in Western North Caro lina this venr. Mr. Crawford's appearance brought out the fullest strength of the lungs of the Democrats in the warehouse. The young Congressman stood for a moment at the edge of the platform, waiting for the cheers to subside and then brought instant silence by greeting his rudience in that quiet commanding way ot his. "We tried togetMr. Pritchard to come down here," began the favorite, "but he refused, lie said he couldn't speak in the warehouse, or in the open air, and that the only place he could sneak was the court house, where wc couldn't get in." "That's right," veiled the crowd. Where's Pritchard? He's afraid of Crawford." As soon as the commotion caused by this announcement had subsided, Mr. Crawford read the following : "To the lion. J. C. Pritchard und the Hon. V. T. Crawford .- "Gentlemen: Accept my regards, and consider me out of the race. 1 am no longer a candidate. JohnC. Brown." Their Eyes Opened. "Mr. Brown is convinced that there is no show for him," said Mr. Crawford dryly, when the deafening cheers had ceased. "The Farmer's alliance all over the country has had its eyes opened in the last two or three days and people are becoming convinced thut the Demo cratic party is the party of the people. It has been recognized at last that the only hope of the Republican party has been) to divide the Democrats in the South and by this means get into power themselves." Mr. Crawford's s)eecli which followed was one of great strength. His praise of the splendid record of Grover Cleveland, and especially with reference to his friendly stand toward the South, elicited warm cheers. Noth ing in the way of cheers was too good for the crowd whenever Cleveland's name was mentioned. When Mr. Crawford touched on the force hill, he alluded to the claim of tbe Republican party that it is a dead issue, and added that if it was a dead issue, it is only because the Repub lican party was dead too. J ust before taking his seat Mr. Craw ford announced thut ex -Candidate Itro wn had something to say, and Mr. Brown came forward, while the 'crowd encour aged him by rapturous cries of "Hurrah for Brown'" Mr. Brown briefly outlined his reasons for withdrawing, as given in his letter elsewhere. He maintained that the Democratic party was the one for reform after all. Gen. R. B. Vance made a short siiccch in response to loud calls. Gen. Vance al luded to the hard things said about him by the Prohibitionists and hoped they would sec the error ol their way and vote for 1 lemoeracv Tuesday. Pritchard at the Court House. Pritchard spoke in tbe court house for an hour and fifteen minutes. The whole south side of the room was filled by the colored people. Pritchard's talk was on the same line that he has been following during the canvass, with tbe added dec larntion that the people had lollowed Zcb Vance until the country was on the verge of ruin. During the speech some Democrats outside the court room began cheering for Crawford. This excited the Republicans and everybody rose up, making considerable hubbub. Alter few minutes Pritchard and Col. Lusk succeeded in quieting the crowd and Pritchard concluded his speech without interruption. Col. Lusk was called ou and made a speech of some length.

Republicans Privately Concede That Indiana Is Lost to Them Satisfactory Reports From The South and Went-Connecticut Is All Right. Rai-bioh, N. C, Nov. 5. Special. A letter received last night by Chairman Simmons, from Chairman Harrity of the national committee and Chairman Dick- inson of the national campuign miltee expresses extreme confidence in Cleveland's election. Democratic leaders in New York State and City feel positive that Cleveland will get the electoral vote of that state, and there is no doubt that thercsultin Connecticut will be a victory for the Democracy. There is no doubt as to success in New Jersey, and the Repub lican managers arc privately admitting that Indiana is lost to them. Reports from the South are very satisfactory and the same is true as to a number of West ern states. BROWN'S WITl-DHAWAI,. He Gives Good Reasons For Fallh That's In Him. the To the Tofcrs of the 0th Congressional Vistrwt: It is known to most of you my posi tion on the issues of the day. The prin ciples which I advocate are dear to my heart, but after a thorough canvass and looking to the situation in tbe entire country 1 find it impossible for the Peo ple s party to succeed in this campaign. I am sorry to see indications pointing to the fact that some of my People's party friends are disposed to form a co alition with the Republican party. I am free to say that no hope for finan cial relief can be entertained in the event of the success of the Republican party. I am alarmed at the desperate efforts now being made by this party to de bauch the ballot box with money. Then uuiu, uh; ivicui iliakl UHIUIJS 1,1 kilt Ok.' ing Attorney General of the United States in regard to the powers of the supervisors and deputy marshals at the voting places is frought with danger to the peace of the country. He denies that the appointment of deputy marshals ap plies alone to cities of 20,000 inhabi tants. The effect of these instructions is to totally iennre the state authorities and thereby place the ballot box in the hands of partisan appointees backed by I the bayonet. This is emphatically the lorce mil policy, which was tnougnt dv Th are , vegetable and wc bc many to be a dead issue. I While I believe in all voters having a I lieve they are tac best family pill yet pre fuir chance at the ballot box. and in an I honest count, 1 do not endorse the in-1 terference of the general government, I espe:ially when tbe ballot box is to be surrounded bv a crowd of armed deputy marshals, who are clothed with tbe power to summons all citizens and the organized army itself. Believing that my further candidacy might contribute to tbe triumph of an organization assuming such dangerous powers, I decline to further continue a candidate for Congress. To my friends who have stood by me and endorsed me, I return my most sincere thanks. What I now do is in the discharge of what I conceive an honest duty to my people. Yours very truly and sincerely, John C. Brown. KNOCK HIM DOWN I Good Advice From a Democrat I Couutv Chairman. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5. Daniel J. Ciimnnii. chairman of the Democratic I central committee, has issued an address "To honest voters of Michigan, of I which the following is a part : "We have positive information that the Republicans have instructed all the county and subordinate committees in this State to sec to it that at least three Democrats in every school district in the State are induced to stay away from the polls. If this plan were successful it would mean the absence of a very large numlier of Democrats from the polls on election day. The methods to be adopted to secure I this nbscntion can safely be ludged trom the ways and means adopted in the past I to deliver votes of blocks of five und I floaters' generally in doubttul states. I livery possible eltort should be made I throughout Michigan to counteract the I effect of this disgraceful work. I urge I every friend of an honest ballot and every foe of encroachment upon individ ual rights to sec that none oi ins irienos nre nhsent from the noils. An offer to bribe you to refrain from voting is as I much a crime as a bid tor your vote, ii I the infamous suggestion is made to you by any one, in the name of manhood knock him down. A VICIOUS CIRCULAR. An Appeal To the Prejudice of the Nesrroes Raleigh, N. C, Nov. 5. Speciul. It is ascertained that northern agitators are circulating among the negroes in the South a violent circular. The negroes here do not desire any.such social equal ity as this circular promises, but arc satisuca wua prvBcm tu laiiKiuitukB with reference to schools and other mat ters. The concluding paragraph ol this circular is as follows : "The Democratic party fought us hard in all these States, but the grand old party stood by us and we won, and to day could you visit our public schools of cast and west, you will see our dear little ones sitting side by side with whites nnd when classes are called you will find in many instances, colored children at the head of the classes. The li. U. l has promised the same for us in the South, and if we will stand firm you will see them redeem this promise as they have elsewhere, just as soon as the G. O.
