Mv1H:auMk;-1 have carelully read the communication yeiu lately placed in my hands, setting forth the future pur poses and present needs ol National As sociation of Democratic clubs. The achievement ol this organization should he familiar to all who are interested in the continuation of Democratic suprem acy and should enlist the encouragement of those who appreciate the importance of ell'cetiv" dissemination vi Democratic doctrine. Your association lias done much by way ot educating our people, touching the particular subjects which are recog nized ns belonging to the Democratic faith; but it seems to me that its best service tins been an enforcement nnel dcmonsl ration of I he truth that our party is best organized nnd most power ful when it strives lor principles instead of spoils, and that it quickly responds to the stimulus suppli.d by an enlistment in the people's cause. This acknowl edgement ot the important services ren dered to the advancement of true De mocracy suggests that the National Association of Democratic clubs nnd everv other licmocratic agency should labor unceasingly anil earnestly to s;ive our party in this time of its power and responsibility from the degradation and disgrace of a failure to redeem the pledges upon which our fellow countrymen en trusted us with the control of their gov ernment. All who are charceel, on behalf of the Democratic party, with the redemption of these pledged, should now be impres sively reminded that, as we won our way to victory under the banner of tariff rc- lorm, so eur insistence upon that princi ple is the condition ol our retention ol the people's trust, and the lenity to party .imzntiou deniauds the subordination individual adv.i'ttages and wishes, and the puttiiie uside of petty and ig noble j.-nlouMcs e.d bickerings when arty principles and party integrity and p-iity existence arc at slake.

Uood crowd Despite The Weain. tr-Hpeectaes by Hon. Jamea H. MerrliuoD, Locke Cralir, Eng. D. Carter and Olliers. Saturday evening was cold, drizzly and disagreeable, but notwithstanding this there wus a crowd of good size in attendance upon the Democratic meeting in the court house. Chairman Tilson called Fug. D. Carter to preside and the meeting opened with the address of lion. Jus. II. Merrimon. The speaker laid down first the proposition that the Democrats are in the midst of a political con Ilict with the Republican party of the city of Asheville. The conflict is be tween the Democratic and Republican parties, and there is absolutely no middle ground: Said he: "What is known as the Patton ticket is strictly a Republican ticket, ami the Martin ticket is the Simon-pure unadulterated Democratic ticket. This thing called a Citizens' ticket is n sham and counterfeit. Who ever heard of the Republican party being lor Reform, taking that to mean to in nko things better, unless it was out ol office and wanted to get in? They urc trying to get the people to think they are against politics in municipal elec tions. They have sung this siren song till they have made some good respect able Democrats believe that the Demo cratic party is too rotten to furnish good men for Mayor and Aldermen of the city. There nre some who are hunk ering utter the Republican purty nnd for my part I hope thev will go there and stay. Tlitrearemen who arc enjoying t lie emoluments of office at the hands ot Democrats, yet do not attend Demo cratic meetings but go into shops and stores and stab the party in the back. And the gravheaded portion gets up in a Republican meeting and announces that the Democratic party is composed ol yclpcrs.' This is nice talk for such Dem ocrats. Docs anybody deny thai the city has had a Republican administration lor the last year ? lias anybody hcarel the head ol the Reform ticket open his mouth for Democracy 'i I want the election to lie absolutely fair. 1 don't want il said of either side that it had done an uutair thing. If the Democrats must go down, let them do it honorably. tt ill vou remember what the cliau- man ol tlie Kctorin convention iw. w. JoncsJ said about Mr. Martin's inexpe rience and Ins coming irom the ISrushy mountains.'' Mr. .Martin is totlav us good a lawyer as the chairman of that mccttng, and as much a citizen. 1 am ttislied that in the secret recesses ol his heart the chairman ot that convention is ishame-d of what he said ot Mr. Martin. A man in this city, I am informed, ivs he was approached and assured that it he would come in nnd vote tor the Patton ticket, Patton would hereafter ililiatc with the Republicans. So far ns Patton is concerned, it was not neecs sat y to make that promise, lor he has been a Republican nlwavs. 1 clou t blame him lor being there. The Kepub licaii party is a great party. It has shrewd men, and it is no child's play to tackle it even in Western North Carolina. Then the more is the shame, the digrace, the dishonor that men who have been built up by the Democratic party should betray it." In closing ludge Merrimon expressed the hope that every Democrat ould swear to win in the contest. I.ocke Craig, csu., spoke next and urged the importance ol this election to the whole district, besides giving a lew pertinent and vivid reminiscences of tl e old rcsei voir, rock (piarry, graded school system, knitting mill, etc. He was amused nt the claim that tuc Kciorm meeting was a Democratic meeting, with Dill Denver in the omen corner, occupying the eluel seat in tlie syna gogue." His talk was personal and ex ceedingly warm. T. tt . I itzputrick was culled out, nntl said he couldn't speak but wanted to thnnn the Democrats for letting him come back home." 1. K. Rich was induced to say a few words, and cited those who object to the Democratic ticket because of the wnv il was put up," to the one, two, three mauncr ill which the Reformers had done their business. He also referred to the report as to the deal between the head ot the Kciorm ticket and the Kc publicans. bug. V. Curler tollowctl witli a reel hot speech that dealt considerably with the Reform mayoralty candidate. The meeting closed vith the admoui lion from Iulius Drooks that this is the time when every laboring man, and es occiallv Democrats, with a spark ot pa triotism, should come up nnd do his duty. ; MARSHALL, NIX COWHIDED.
