The court house was full last evening ol'sbonting Democrats, who had leath ered to ratify the choice made in the pri mary Inst Saturday. There were several prominent speakers, hose remarks were punctuated with cheering from the enthusiastic gathering. The meeting was more than a half hour late in getting started hut it made up lost time when it did get down to work. Tbos A. Jones, acting chairman of the executive committee, called the meet in ir to order. D. M. Luther nominated T. R.Ransom chairman. Someone must have misunderstood the question, for when ayes and noes were called on the chair manship one solitary no was heard. The crowd laughed and Mr. Ransom took his seat. In doing so he said the people had come out in the interest of Democ racy. He had nothing personal to say against the opposition, hut the Demo cratic party organization 41 PATTON AVENUE.

When the crowd got sight of him it almost yelled itself hoarse. He wasTcalled to the stand and began bis speech, the delivery of which was ac complished in a shorter time than was expected by his followers. M r. Merri mon said : "The political situation presents two questions of vital interest to everv Dem ocrat : First, Has the Democratic party of the city of Asheville become so corrupt and so rotten that there is not left in il it a sufficient number from which to choose an hone-t mayor and board of aldermen ? Here one voice piped out "no." Second, If there is a sufficient number left, have their voices been s stifled as to make it impossible to raise them for the benefit of the people?

I was astonished to see his mune on a ticket that would break up the splendid organization of the Democratic partv not only in Asheville, but in Bun combe county and North Carolina. I re member a ratification here long ago when Democrats were so disgusted with the scenes that they hoped thev might be damned forever if they took part in such a move again. Elect this mongrel tic act and you will see a meeting here that will make every Democrat swear he will be damned forever before he is caught again.

Honest v first and capability second. There in not a man on the Democratic ticket that is not an honest man and cap able, too. I have nothing personal against any man on the other ticket; but I am here to appeal to Democracy. Study well before you vote the other ticket. It cannot be elected unless scores ot Democrats go off from their party. The question tor Democrats is. Are vou standing bv your partv in this contest ? We cannot read out oi the partv the men who go off to the other side, but every man who does so will be marked as a Democrat who cannot lie relied upon. I ask for no office am only here to advocate the principles of Democracy, which are tbe principles ot honesty. They say tbe offices of the city are not political offices. Why is not the office ol mayor not as much a political one as that of governor ? I am a parti san, and am not ashamed to say it. I am a Democrat and am not ashamed to say so. The man who is atraid to say so is not fit to be a Democrat. Let's make a partisan race, and make it hot. Let tbe Democrats stand shoulder to shoulder, and die in the last ditch before we surrender. Do it with firmness and honesty toward the other side, but let them understand that we are not afraid of anything thev do or say of us. mm. A. OadKer. H. A. Gudger, candidate tor Alderman in tbe First ward, was called next, and was londlv applauded when he went to the stand. He said that when he threw him self into the fight for the public schools his friends told him he was digging his political grave. They told him the same thing when he stood up for tbe 9-hour system, and also when he advocated the paving of the streets of the city. But the predictions had not come true in either instance. When be said in the mass meeting several nights ago that he could accept no nomination that did not come t hrounh tbe regular Democracy, be did not intend to hurt the feelings of any one. He was not a candidate, had not been a candidate, but if the people elected him he would qualify and serve to the best of his ability. Nothing but tbe un equivocal demand caused him to make the sacrifice. drive buggies painted 'yaller,' ride bicy cles and bob-tail horses, expect to beat the straight Democrats in Asheville they will miss it. Why, they don't I THKN eat breakfast till IO o'clock and by that time we can have voted 100 negroes. This is not an age ol mugwumpery or Third partyism. It will be a cold day for North Carolina when Asheville, the New York of the South, goes to the Third party ticket. I have no interest in the fight except as a neigh bor. Get up soon and use money legiti mately, if necessary, for the supremacy of Democracy in Asheville. 3. M. Cnmpbell. John M. Campbell, State Senator, was the next speaker, and enthused che crowd wi.h his flights of eloquence. He did not want to hurt the feelings of any Democrats, but had no apologies f-r the Republicans. He thanked God that he was looking into the faces of Straight out Democrats, "and may God have mercy on the souls of those who are not." "This new move." Mr. Campbell con tinued, "comes as a Reform ticket, holdiner. as it claims, in its distended bowels the wisdom and Christianity of Democracy ! May the good Lord bring back the wandering sheep of Israel into the sheltering fold of Democracy! We want the lambs, but as for the old rams. turn them loose in the mountains of Hepsodam, where there will be weeping and enashing ot teeth. "When vou tackle the Democracy of the West ward vou are monkeying with a buzz saw. No man with a grain of Democracy will go to the polls and vote for a man aeninst whom the citv had to organize a 'White Man's party in order to get the city out of his grasp. These knee-breeches fellows think they have all the wisdom and learning that has taken refuce in the Asheville club. I hey are wrong. We cannot afford to subtni to the dictatorship of men who have here tofore laid down with the Republicans. or run the risk of getting men who want a bayonet at every ballot box and a erunhoat at everv port. "We are trointr to win. Asheville has been made by such men as Charlie Starnes. Men may come ard men may go, nations may rise and fall, the moon may wax and wane and the stars may fall from their sockets, but ray Democ racy and that of the West ward will stand forever, and we will beat Tom Patton by 500 majority." . mr. I.nther. Executive Committeeman D. M. Luther was the next speaker, and re lated several anecdotes that made the crowd laugh heartily. He said the ''Re formers" argued that because Capt Patton had traveled and was "up in the laniruacres he should be mayor, Charlie Starnes had come here 12 or 15 years ago with scarcely money enough to patch his old clothes. Now. there is not a blot on his private or official char acter. Mr. Luther concluded : "Next Monday there will be nothing left of the musrwumos except a erease spot and a stink." T. R. Ransom. Chairman Ransom was called on and made the last speech of the evening. He said he would not call this independent move "Mugwump" or "Third party because there were in it just as good Democrats as he was. "There is but one chance for the election of this independ ent ticket," he said, "andthat is by the help of the Republicans. Are you going to make this admission ? But talking will not carrv the election. We must get to work from lawyer to laborer. from preacher to merchant and the vie tory will be ours." Ir. Geo. A. Mebane was called, hut would onlv sav that he was asked to ioin the Reform movement and told them if he could not be e Democrat he would )e nothing else. He advised the Demo crats present to resolve themselves in a committee of one and tro to work. Amid cheerim?. then, the meetinu ad journed.

The Financial Flurry Over uelore It Waa ueguu Because of Tbe President's Clear maiemenl and The Administration's Purpose. Washington, April 25. Tbe authori tative statement of Mr. Cleveland in which he announced the present and future policy of the administration rela tive to the bse of the tjold reserve, has taken the edge off the excitement that followed the act of the secretary sf the treasury in diuuine into the reserve fund. If there has beeu any danger ol a finan cial flurry that danger appears bow to have passed. Under the interpretation of Mr. Cleveland's statement, the reserve is to be treated simulv as so much cash in the treasury and whether the nexr gate rises or falls a few millions a day, becomes a matter ol utile concern, con sen uentlv very little interest was mani tested today at tne aeparimeni nircgaru to the financial situation. Mr. Leech, director of the United States mint, an acknowledged authority on finance, said today: I lo k upon tne statement by the President as a plain and forcible announcement oi a iieiernn nntinn of the administration to main tain gold payments ut all hazards, and if the supply Ol Oiu av me uisjjubui oi mc treasury should at any time be insuffi cient for the purpose, that the credit of the government will be used to secure the necpKSHrv amount.

It is needless to moralize on the direful fleets of intoxicating liquors wheu used to excess. Moralists have written thousands of books thereon; philanthro pists have founded asylums and reform atories; physicians have labored and ex postulated; wives and mothers have pleaded tearfully, yet the terrible fact remains that the curse is move rampant than ever. What is to be done ? Legis lation has proved unavailing. So far as it goes, law is right; but appetite cannot be controlled by the statute book. We must treat the drink habit intelligently and understasdingly, and when we claim it is a disease and should be tteated as such, we believe we have come near the method by which tbe problem can-be'solved. Arguments, threats and punishment have proved futile. Let us now try rea son and common sense. Drunkenness is the outcome of a nervous disease, either acquired or inherited. The patient, in the great majority of cases, is willing, nay anxious, to be cured,. His will power, however, has become paralyzed, and he must have all the aid obtainable to re new the battle for the recovery of his manhood, and maintain it successfully. The Houston Narcotic Cure Company make an urgent appeal to the public in the interest ot humanity, temperance and reform. We would respectfully ask that all good people lend their aid and that church, charity and temperance organiza tions, also all persons who have seen and felt the influence and evil effects resulting from the use of alcohol or narcotics in their own families or otherwise, co oper ate with us in securing the attendance at our institute for the treatment of men and women who Jiave been so unfortu nate as to fall victims to the excessive use of alcohol, opium, morphine or to bacco. We guarantee an absolute cure for these habits or will cheerfully re fund the money. Correspondence confi dential. Address for terms, circular and testi monials, The Houston Narcotic Cvrk Co.
