Probably never since the system of

there been a contest that is as comical
from every point of view as the one

that each of the three received "tie v.te

but came in on the 2 o'clock train.

lived a lonu life. filUd with love
respect from all who knew her.
Capt. Patton from disposition has
always avoided candidacy tor any office,
but his name may be seen among the
incorporators of almost every scheme
intended to promote the public good.
Thus he was prominent in incorporating
the first waterworks and j;as company,
and, until yesterday, the otilv canvass in
which he ever took an active and decided
part, was that authorizing an issue ot
$0,000 of city bonds, for the purpose of
securing t water supply and improve
ment of streets. In those conservative
days, this appropriation wad violently
opposed by many of Asheville's most
rcsoectcd citizens, and was only carried
upon the assurance that the niouey
should as far as possible lie extended
among tbe city's own tax-paying
laborers. This pledge was laittiluily
carried out.
Th committee in whose charge this
issue of bonds were placed, was com
posed of 1. E. Rankin. E. Sluder, F. M
Miller, and 1. W. fatton, and uncjer tne
management oi the latter every dollar
was exuended for the nurnosc intended.
and a full and detailed statement with
vouchers, presented to the Hoard of
Aldermen.
As a man of strong feeling anil opin
ions, Capt. Patton has not hesitated to
express himself forcibly on all questions
under discussion; as a liemocrat, edu
cated to the idea that "the iicople shall
rule." he has ever yielded prompt and
loyal obedience to every question de
cided at the polls against him. no Hint
ter how small the maiontv. nor uy wn;u
means obtained. He insists that the
very bulwark of American institutions
will be endangered so soon as people re
fuse to yield absolutely to the verdict o
a oooular election: that bribery nd cor
ruption should be prevented by pumsning
the guilty parties, but that the result ot
no election should be rendered uncertain
thereby.
Among the many problems of our
citv s present position. which causes
anxietv to the mavor-elect, is the situ
ation of the public schools. While no
one ot the original advocates ot tn
raded school system per-se, he now be
eves it otters trie most economical
method of expending the school funds,
and, recognizing the great good
which the labors of the school committee
have accomplished, he deplores their
present embarrassment, and promises
to exert all his power to provide means,
without fui ther oppressing the heavily
burdened taxpayer, to enable the com
mittee to carry on the schools for their
foil terms.
On the whole, an intimate acquain
tance with Capt. Patton and with each
member of the Boards, yesterday elected,
gives assurance t hat next year's admin
istration will ie conservatively pro
gressive and creditable to Asheville.
ceive two votes against the one vote of
each of the other gentlemen; hence t he
intense interest to know his choice. If
the Doctor had. in a humorous momei
voted for himself, then there would have
been a tie of the whole business, proba
blv necessitating a returning board
from Washington to unrav- 1 th
business. However. the Dr. voted
for Mr. Cheesborough, and he
was declared elected. The three defeated
andidates will take their places on the
board of aldermen. There was little ex-
itement around the polls and absolutelv
no charges of bribery.

Cleveland concluded his speech at the

the machinery and make the oiiening of
he exposition an accomplished fact. It
was the ordinary form of Victor tele
graph key such as is in use in most tele
graph offices, except that it was gold
nstead of steel and the button was oi
vory instead of rubler. It rested upon
a pedestal upholstered in navy blue and
golden vellow plush, and on the sides of
the lower tier in silver letters were the
significant dates 14-02 and 1S'J2. As
the last words fell from the President's
ps, he pressed his finger upon the but
ton.
This was a signal for a demonstration
difficult for the imagination to conceive,
and infinitely more bn tiling to o.ic's
descriptive powers. At one and the same
instant the thundering shout of the
orchestra pealed forth the strains of the
halleuiah chorus; the wheels ot the great
Allis engine in Machinery hall com
menced to revolve; the electric fountains
in the lagoon poured out torrents of
water, a flood gushed forth from the
lumernble fountains and rolled back
gain into the basin; the thunder of ar
tillery came from vessels in the lake; the
chimes in Manufacturers' hall and in the
German building rang out a merry peal;
and overhead tho nags at the top ot the
poles in front of the platform tell and re
vealed two gilded models of the ships in
which Columbus first sailed to the Ameri
can shore. At the same moment also,
hundreds of nags of all nations and all
colors unfurled within sight of the plat
form. The largest was :i great )ld
