A tolerably accurate count is tin- li.isis of the assertion that there were about 100 men ami boys at the West Iiml mar ket last evening to see and lu.-ir tie speakers and candidates on tin- l-'elurm ticket. There was a prayer inict'iru; in n building not fur off and that in.iv have kept sonic away, but no Kvf.irmer had the ussutancc to charge that that was a Hemocratic trick. The mayor was there to laU about linanees, advocate abolition 01 the poll tax, and cry "Wanton!" Col. A. T. Da vidson was there to talk abont the "mud" the city used to be in an 1 cry "yelpers." Cupt. N'att Atkinson was thcic to cry aloud "ollice seeker !" and spaic not, and incidentally to exhort the congregation to come over to the great and only right side. And the other can didateswerc there to say a lew words to help along the good caiise. 11 rieelii ationsgo lornnvthiug, then the ispeeclies were almost entirely D. inocr.iev, rock ribbed, ropper-bnttoiin-il, toi pid.i.prool, altliougli there geeincj to lie a leak some w here. A little alter o cluck Market Master l-.rwm came in w ith some chairs I r the speakers, and a Kelormer asked hun where the crowd was i There were then ibout "." present I. Mr. l-rwiti reolied he didn't know probably the meetings Kepi some away. Annut hall past s a rattling was heard up the street and a moment Intern spick anil spun turnout dashed up to the dour, stopped, and the Kelorm candidates, tin- mayor and Messrs. Redwood, Blair anil Hull alighted ami tripped into the hall. As the mayor reached the door he greeted the several there with "(leutlcmni." And nobody said a word. A little wait followed in which the crowd received a number ol accession and then the niavor went to the table tml the meeting was on. lie s n'il he came to talk with the people, and asked them to mark well Ihec.xprc-sinn "wiili." We don't come," said he, "bolstered nu by a dozm lawyers, but we have om man here who has grown gray in the service ol tiie State. ICol. Davidson. I Against Mr. Martin I have nothing tu say. lie is a nice, clever gentleman and has said nothing against me and I shall sav nothing against him." Auent Un charge that he had made a deal with IVnrson he said there was no truth in it he had never elite ed into such a con tract as he knew ol. From the bottom ol his heart he was a D, niocial; every government should be of, lor mid bv Un people. On that he had stood, and would stand until he died He referred to the words ul Senator Vance, printed daily in Tin; Cirui:x: "Democracy is immortal, etc., and said thcsi were the verv priii.'inlcs of bis heart. Whenever the Democrats put up a man worthy m his support according to that doctrine he would support him, lie wauled to k -p Democracy hie from things that don't attach to il. 'I he best thinkers, he said, would say it was best 'nr.'i p:irly not to be held usi ii;si hie for the government 1. 1 alilikeitv lie had done his best io biing the condi tion of the city back Ironi chaos. "It was vour government, lor yon, bv ou and ol vou. When we went in we found everything ineonlusion, and np to today I have been trying to nninvel the invs icriesol the former administration." " The mayor cried "Wanton !" and said the latter had been getting $1im a mouth lor not doing his duty. Tla n I he schools were touched upon.' lie had op posed the graded sehools at fu st b-.-e ti -e be wanted time to look into I he system. The people dill'ertd with his opinion then, but they d;d not often do it. Tiiev would agree with him on the 7lh ol May, wl.eu thev would say "Cation shall be Mayor." He read 'hom Tin Cirizii.M the proposition eoiiceruini; the schools as set forth in the bond pn'ipo.s: lion, lie wanti d the moiiev he paid as taxes to go to the education o' pour chi " dreti. lie sent his children to a riv.itJ school in order to give more room in tin graded schools. He begged the crowd to vote lor the school (iiestion, w hether tliey voted lor .Martin or ration. Il l lie tunning nouns were nutliori.a-i . he and Mr. Uedwood, representing a bus: ness ailinmistrt'lioii, could sell the bonds better than could Mr, Martin and Mr. Sevier, representing a Democratic ad ministration. He had told Mr. .Martin ne, me inner, was a very luce, clever man, but usked him what he would do it elected and the bonds voted. Mr. Mar tin had replied "a man had told him he thought he could place the bonds." "What docs that mean ?" said the may or; "it means a commission to a broker. We will be able to sell them at par. It the bonds ure not placed by the Demo crats Mr. 1'earson willsay,''lf you had elided my liieml I'nlton vour children would not have been turned out of the citv schools.' The mayor tlnn gave a laudatory song and dance about the difference be tween snlariis ol the "Hlanton adminis tration" and those ol his own ad ministration. He had for ijioiio done what two men loi inuly did lor $l',10o. Next year the same degree of economy must be practiced. Il he could save $."i,lliHI next year he would stand up lor justice to the poor man. Slid he, "I with my $10,()Oil if I have it am better able to pay even .f 1,000 than is the poor man to pay his $." .Ho ol poll tax." lie wanted to recommend to the Hoard to remit poll tax to evci v man in the 'itv. He declared he did this not to solicit votes, but because he believed in justice. Capt. Nutt Atkinson then waltzed lor ward nil J proceeded with a ;oug about every Straighlout being nil olliic seeker or ollice holder. The mayor, according to the Captain, wasn't woi King for "a pitiful little ollice that pays $ I a day, but for his home whin he has K ft alter the wreckers ipiit." The Cuptain got so lull ol feeling that he ulinosl sobbed. He couldn't my Anything ngninst the Dem ocratic candidates, but said each ul tho e Aldcrnmnic candidates would take nu onth that they were not lit to till the plnce thev were running for. The Cap tuin cried "Wanton!" and relerrcd to the Democratic candidate us Mr. Mal ting, the niarting-bird. who didn't know anybody and didn't know the names ol 20 street in town. The Slraightouls were dubbed "red-legged grasshoppers and the postollicc department," Under the hend of bolters the Captain referred to ling. 1). Carter and l.ockcCraiu. He. the Captain, hud voted for every Demo cratic I'ramlcnt since the war mid the Mayor hail, too(? As toll. M. Luther, the Captain said, he did, sometimes the biggest shuck held the smallest nubbin. In dosing the Captain raised his stereo- ivpcii war cry, that $100,01)11 ol money n .iium; nir invesiiuenc wouni lie nwav n t lie lieinocrats won. And the Captain iseorted himself to a scat. Col. Davidson spoke next and praised the mayor's speech. He, H e Colonel, was supposed lo know ever) thing, but did not know how much tronbl': Ashe vilile had to get oat of the "mud" till the mayor said it. lie had no apology to make for what the Reformers wire doing. When necessary he would shed Ids shirt lor Democracy. He cried "Hl.intou," who ' h id been paid a large fe whn he wenl to St-.v v.rL and debauched the town." Straight out, according lo the Colonel's dictionary, meant straight lor the treasury, lie appeal,.! lo know il the Straight! ul. ticket was a Democrat ic ticket at all, and dii-hircd it to be a bastard, and of verv small kidney at thai. Inclosing he reaffirmed bis alle giance to the Democratic party in county, state and national elections. Mr. Redwood, who is one ol the best baseball "cranks" in Asheville, followed in a speech that was not bitter, lie thought the Relormers ought to succeed. They had done so last year, hands down. Asheville had had a young man for Mayor once and didn't want yerv young men again. This administration has iicen a g.ioil one, he said. And in the fill election if Mr. Hull and II. L. Gild ger wanted to find him thev would do so in the Democratic ranks. Candidate Blair started out bv saving "everybody who knew Will Ilia he was a Democrat." He asked all lo lav aside party and think of Asheville. His talk was calm and dignified. 1'red A. Hull was next and in a cool statement said he was a Mugwump in the lullest sense and this election could have no Ul'eet on the State this tall, Dr. J. S. T. liaird closed the exercises. If a citizen ol Asheville he would n ,t hesitate to vote for the mavor. Hut he had given live sons to the Reform col umn, and that was a good job, he thought. And then the crowd dissolved. Dining the meeting a kid outside the house yelled "'Rah for Martin!" and Unci Harkius rushed out to look after the disturbance. Hut nobody was hurt. "Hlanton !" "Wanton ! !" Boo ! ' !

'Hiis "tub tax" is a charge made bv the city sanitary inspectors 1;: the re inov.'il, bv the city garbage wagons, ol sewage tubs from the houses of those people who have no eouncelion with the ulv sewers. The charg ranges from Democrats i made tor each removal to To cents, and the hum thai it is unjust to exiiil tins tax, when all the people who pay it are poor people and unable in nrinv instances to meet the iNcnse 1 1 is also claimed that the piis.nl system is calculated to keep the city hull instead ol clean, ns the p ivcilv ol in.iny people compels them to have this sewage movid as lew times as possible dm in f the year, whereas if it is ininle the duty ol the eitv to have it niovul without charge, the householders will sec to it that everything calculated to produce sickness in l lie citv is kept cleared liotn all premises, ami the sam tary condition ol the eitv assured al all limes.
