Edtor Tim Citizen: In the can vass of May, 1891, to rat ify the "Street Improvement Act" passed by the State Legislature, and to elect a' mayor and four aldermen, with two holding over to govern and manage the citv'a affairs lor the succeeding two years, none played a more active part bv his vote and influence than the writer, in carrying the measure. When submitted to the people for ratification, a number of our most influential citizens were opposed to it, not beer se thev objected to the improvement of Asheville, but because tbey had well grounded fears that such a large amount of money placed within thecontrolof inexperienced and incompetent men, unversed in cor porated government or improvements, would be frouvht with great danger to best interests of the people within the corporate limits. We will now cite a few of the ordi nances and ccneral legislation of the Board of Aldermen for the last two years : At the fiist meeting ot the Board of Aldermen elected in May, 1891, their duty was to elect heads of departments for the ensuing year. Who did they choobc. Bare in two exceptions, but brothers, sons, brothers-in-law, kinsfolk and friends, nearly all ot whom were only conspicuous for their total ignor ance of and unfitness for th different de partments and positions to which they were elected ? We refer you to the severe censure expressed bv all manner and conditions of men, and thecondemuation of the public prcbH of the city at the time. This little family arrangement cost the modest sum of some sixteen thousand ( 16,000) dollars. We have the Young overpay of $2. OOO. In all large add well regulated cities there is an auditor, controller and treas urer. Warrants drawn against the city, be they large or small amounts, art countersigned by the president of citv council and the first named officers, who are under heavy bonds lor the further discbarge of their duties. The Mayor of Asheville seemed to be president of council, auditor and con troller, having unlimited power to draw on the citv tunas at will, not one parti cle of safeguard being thrown around same in shape of I'onris or security, until the advent of Mr. D. C. Wnddell as alderman. He is a good business man, and at once saw the necessity of doing away with the practice of leaving it in one man s power to disburse the people s money, tie onerea an ordinance requir ing the audit ot the hnance com mittee of each bill against tbc citv If this had been in vogue prior to the Young matter, the city would now have two thousand dollars mure money on hand. Is this not an evidence of the inability of the present -Citv Fathers" to conduct your attairs r The Aldermen oi your citv are the ser vants of the people. We would kindly ask them if they would allow a clerk in their employ unlimited power to draw at will on their personal bank account ? No prudent business man would allow such a reckless mode of conducting his own affairs, why then sanction it in conducting the affairs of the citv? the city s charter allowed the council to erect market houses and, to provide means to do so. Twenty tnousund dollars was raised by bonds, which was ample to build and equip a building or build ings to accommodate, the people of Ashe ville. A citv nail was built on the money and credit of the market house, and as the lormer vields no revenue, the latter must bear the whole burden to make it profitable. Ordinances were passed which no tree people should submit to, limiting the sale of several of the necessaries of life, save in this taxed-ridden structure. The butchers' expense were increased double lor the same space in which to do busi ness, as they paid prior to this illegal and arbitrary legislation, which was de manded bv its occupants in the shape of protection to tne Dusiness. T. he restaurant keeper was allowed to sell bis raw, stewed and tried plate of oysters. But when the market house was closed you could not buy Irom him an oyster or a bunch of fresh fish tor your sick wife or your favored Thomas cat. The same is applicable to t be sale of meats and vegetables. The poor man n wile wno cannot attord to hire a servant to care for her children in her absence, has to take her baby on her right arm and take her little toddling child by tne band and trudge in all con' ditions of the weather one and a quarter miles at hve o clock in the morning to buy ten cents' worth of beefsteak, a few turnips or a head of cabbage for her hus band breaktast and dinner. One would think this was onlv equal to libel ing ones mother s memory in the grave uisoDcoicnce or evasion ot tne fore- named ordinance is punishable with a severe fine. We refer the public to the prosecution brought by the city authori ties against btrauss restaurant on Mam street. You can buy at Delmonico'a in New York, or any resturant in the city, fish and oysters. Not one city in the known world but Asheville prohibits it. In the city of Philadelphia, with some thirty market houses within its limits. devised and built with all the modern improvements, you can find fresh meat and vegetables stores not more than two blocks from their locations It is nat ural that venders should require an ad vance to correspond with the increased cost of doing business, hence the con sumer pays twenty-hve per cent, more tor the necessities ot hie. 1 bis is protec tion, is it ucmoc.-acv .' Now comes the Mission ' hospital Three or four good women, with Miss Patton at the bead, rented a room on booth Adato street some seven years past, and started a Hospital in tne most limited form. A kind Providence blessed their efforts in this grand and noble work, and so encouraged were these good women that tbey rented M Chapman s house on Haywood street A wiee Providence still continued to supply tnem in meeting the extra penaes incurred. Their next step in en Larging a home for the sick, who are too poor to help themselves, was the our chase of the Hawley property on Char lotte street. The old house was rrmod eled in its interior as far as was possible to suit t'-e purpose, and was run with great success by this grand and uoble specimen of womanhood. They begged and borrowed, and resorted to every device that Christianity and love for the suffering and sick could devise, to save and create a building fund to erect a structure better suited, and with all the modern appliances, an j with sanitary and hygiene arrangements. When thev applied for a permit to build, tbey were refused the privilege under the pica that a hospital was a nuisance and dangerous to the henlth of the immediate neighbor hood. The chief opposition i-nme from a source that should have known better. I lived as a patient for four years in the University hospital at Philadelphia, therefore I can speak by the card. I never heard of a hospital being a nuisance. It was declared so in advance by our City Fathers, and instruction given to stop its erection. The building; com mittee continued on t h- ir course, and as the honorable Board had no resort left but to ariest Miss Patton for a breach of one of t city ordinances, they crept meanly behind her cloak and had an or dinance offered by Alderman lirevard to arrest the mechanic or mechanics em ployed to erect the same. According to parliamentary rules it would require three regular meetings to pass same to make it legal. This was obviated by a suspension of the rules, which required the unanimous consent ot the members present. One "no" would have defeated the measure for two weeks. The reso- ution to suspend was carried bv Alder man Starnes votive in the affirmative to help and hasten the arrest of a poor mechanic, working to make bread for his family and erect a home for his kind when maimed or sick. Could be not have killed the measure for at least two weeks by voting "no ?" The arrest of Mclntire was dropped. Why ? Because he was a mechanic and might at some fu ture day operate politically against some of these now applicants for further political honors. Then the Board pounced upon Mr. Tennent, the archi tect. He was a well-to-do man. His arrest was not likely to effect this small assembly's political future. This case was tried before a magistrate, verdict was given for the city. An appeal was taken to the Supreme court by the ladies; the work stopped lor a time. Case argued before thecourt, decision rendered in favor of the hospital. The Supreme (Continued on second page.)

Favora I tie Pailon Ticket, Editor The Citizen : 1 am interested in Asheville and its welfare, and have been more or less identified with the place since March 14,1852. I now have business in the city, and pay a fair average city tax of about $500 per annum. I have not more than tour thousand dollars investment within the citv that I could not move within four months. I have been charged with too much activity in the coming municipal election. I do not want to be officious. yet if I can lend a helping hand for the good of Asheville and its citizens of every class, 1 am ready to do it, and that is and has been my object in giving ray influence to the Patton ticket. It is not that T. W. Patton or those associated with him are any pets of mine. I want to see Asheville have an able Board of honest, sound thinking men. So far as I am individually interested, it makes little difference. I have no axe to grind. I am not an enemy to anyone mentioned in either Board. I simply want able and honest government, and lor that purpose I will exert mvself. 7". . Morrison. come BXwrljr.

THE BREACH NOT HEALED TWO TICKETS ARB HTII.I. THE; POLITICAL RACE; Cspl. Patton Agrees to Wlttxclraw II The Committee Desires It. Wbtcto It Doean't Otber Oosslii In a Political Line. Independent or Stratghtout Straight out or Independent ? is the question that is agitating the public mind in Asheville politics todav. The political wheel, although a little late in beginning its revolutions, is now moving rapidly. Its music is a little dis cordant, it is true, but almost every turn brings out somethiug new that can occupy the voter's mind. The struggle is to be one ol the shortest (only ten days till the election ) as well as the hottest the citv has ever known Unless a compromise can be effi cted. The Democratic priin.iry, called by the executive committee, vill be held tomor row all day. It will be a one-sided pri mary, apparently, because Alderman T. C. Starnes it the only candidate, so far, to be voted for for Mayor Capr. Pat ton is in the race, but o i the Reform ticket, and te Reformers will not sub mit to the primary. Thev propose to do their work independent!;.. Reformers Mnp Out Work. The executive committee of the Reform movement met yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in headquarters over A. L. Cooper's store to plan for the campaign. Captain Patton was at the meeting, and after reading the editorial which ap peared in The Citizen yesterday re marked that he agreed with the senti ment of the article, and proposed that he would withdraw if the c -mmittee so desired. His remarks caused considera ble discussion, but the sentiment preva lent was against such a move and the committee refused to ask him to with draw. The remainder of tbc time ol the meet ing was devoted to making out the plan of work. Reform sub-committees were appointed fo- each ward, which committees are to prosecute the work in the wards from which they were chosen. At a meeting of the com nittee this morning B. H. Cosby was chosen to fill the place of John H McDowell as Aldei-man-nt-large. E. I). McCollum was named as Advisor in the place of W. J. Hough. The Central committee will hold meet ings every dav until the election The Regular Commiife. A special meeting of the Democra tic executive committee was held this morn ing. Eug. D. Carter, esq., tendered his resignation as a member of the commit tee, on the ground that he was not : resident of the city and not a legal voter here. The resignation was accepted and J. D. Brevard was elected in his stead. The following resolution was adopted : 'Whereas, information has been given to this committee that there will he no vacancy tor aulerman-at-large, it ts moved that the nomination of Mr. John H. McDowell as aldcrman-at-Iarge be withdrawn, under the call for the pri mary, and that as no vacancy exists, no nomination be mad " The Truth About It. Man v of the opponents of Capt. Pat- ton, the Reform candidate for mayor, are, in order to array the white laboring class against him. circulating a storv to the effect that when Capt. Patton was a member of the Board of Aldermen several years ago he appointed a colored man as street overseei ; that that overseer was over white men, and paid off the white men. When asked for the truth of the matter Capt. Patton said that a colored man was appointed, but the appoint ment was made at the request of the colored workmen, and that no vrhite workmen were employed under this overseer. Capt. Patton said also that had there been any white men on this street force he would never have con sented to I he appointment of the colored overseer. Denied Empbattcallf . It has been rumored that Jos. E. Dick erson, who was suggested yesterday by the Democratic executive committee to take the place on the ticket given up by Dr. Baird, would, it elected, resign be fore the time for the annual election of officers in June, that Dr. Baird would be chosen in Mr. Dickerson's place, and that Mr. Dickerson would then try for the position of city treasurer. The Citi zen, discrediting the storv. asked Mr. Dickerson about it. "It is not so," that gentleman replied, emphatically. "T have not sought the position ot Alderman and do not wan1 it. 1 would not have ac cepted the place on the ticket had I not desired to do all I could to keep the Dem ocratic party from a split. Dr. Dalrd Ta'ks a Little. Alderman E. Baird, w ho withdrew from the Straightout ticket yesterday, after having been nominated in the Sec ond ward, was seen this morning. "What arc your reasons for withdraw ing. Doctor ?" was asked by The Citi zen. "Oh. well," he replied, "I did not want to undergo the bother and worry that the race would subject me to. I'll get enough 'cussing anyway," and that was all Dr. Baird would siy. Thai Prtmarv. Editor The Citizen: Allow me to call the attention of the public to the fact that the primary system of nomina tions in this county was abolished bv the last Democratic convention: and an v order for one in Asheville is without au- thoritv from the Democrats of this city. The assumption by the Democratic com mittee here to call one is void and should not lie recognized by any one.
