Mr. Chairmau uud gciillctm-u ol tlic conventtun : 1 don't know exactly what proceed ings you have had up to the present time, but, if I understand it properly, you have gone and done it. In spite of t'ic advice and disinterested counsels of the Democratic party, I am here to tell you, I have come before you fur that purpose, that I am prepared to take the part that is assigned to nic by your ac tion today. 1 don't know whether it was accident or design that you called thisconvention to meet on the 10th of May. As you know the 10th of May is called Decora tion Day, the day when we decorate the graves of the Confederate soldiers. It does seem to me when I look over this vast enthusiastic crowd, that the indica tions are that you have mot here, if not to decorate, a least to dig the grave of William Tccumsch Crawford. I am fccre to assure you that I am prepared and ready to take my part in that interest ing ceremony. I have got so much to say that I know I cannot get through with it all without tiring vou, and I pro pose to start in now in a running way until 1 wear your patience out. Gentleman, 1 know mighty well, and II of vou who have been around in this district know very well that if you bad had in your possession a gilt to bestow or an honor to conler, I had no claim to such gill or such honor. You know very well, those ol you who have iliseusscd the present political situation anil the feelings, especially of the Republican party, that vou would nave chosen, n vou preferred to make u straight tight on-the old line, sonic ol those true and trusty leaders who have battled with vou steadfastly in the battles that have gone by in the past. Vou might have chosen that sagacious and practical lender who conies from Madison, that true and tried and trusty iiicnd who has fought votir battles in the past. I refer to the Hon. . C. l'ritchurd and I suy this now, belore g jing farther, th it in inv judgment there are honors in store lor him that neither Madisoncounty nor the Ninth Congressional District are able to confer by themselves, t'lcntlemen, you might have chosen, in making n straight political fight on old political lines, that uncompromising representative ol Hay wood who prelcrs to whin l lie Demo cratic partv without taking anv man out of their own ranks, who prtfer to en deavor to beat sixteen thousand Demo crats with 11,000 Republicans. ou might have chosen that able and elo quent gentleman from llendcrsonville. 1 oil might nave cnoscn tins old war- horse who sits lieic, or vou might have chosen that stalwart old son of llun combc, who has been willing to fight in every position to which you have as signed him, Irom the hupretne court bench down to constable, it matters not where, if only the Republican party call him to the duty. I rclcr to the Hon. V. S. l.tisk. I nm pleased to sec Unit every county in this district is here represented in per son. There is no county trom which you might not have h id a worthy standard-bearer in a light on the old lines. lint you have gone against the advice ot the Democratic partv anil have disgraced and lost yourselves in the opinion of the whole district bv coming up and saving, licntlemen, this is not the time for feeling. The time has come when we must unite and oppose the ad ministration nt Washington, It is it a ipiestion of victory, not of men." I he great man who was buried here the other dav by loving hands Irom all parties has been quoted vetv dilhrentlv f late in regard to the Democratic party. In Inet we have read mnnv cloiiuent and beautiful things which he has said in bis last day. home of these things may have been very authentic, some apocry phal. He said these words: 1 waul to pars through North Carolina in the night time." Remembering the prom ises that his party had made, the prom ises that he had made in the name ol the Democratic party, remembering and wit nessing what those men in Washington were doing, feeling how scandalously and cruelly thev were treating him and every friend of his and every promise ol his made it. the Democratic party, that grand man said for the first time in his noble lite, "I don t want to look mv peo ple in the lace. He had done nothing to lie ashamed oi, but his uartv had. He knew that there was nothing for him to be ashamed of, and he was too bold to excuse what be had done and too mnulv to deny what they had done, and he did go back to the National capital in the mglir-time, and he only staved there a lew weeks, long enough to see the members of his own committee on finance besmirched with the greedy sweetness ot that sugar trust. He slaved there long enougti to see tnc head ol his party strike down one-hull of the metallic nionev of the country, and then came the cud.

Tin re is a thing that he said that doesn't need nnvtlnng to vouch lor it It sounds exact v like him.

Coal Mines Abaudoncd Because Ol MohIII lljr. Ci .im:ki.nii, Md., May 1L The sit uation in this, the George's creek coal re gion is unchanged. Very few mines are working. This morning S00 striking miners from Donaconing swooped down on the village ot lickhart and attempted to prevent the men nt the mine of the Consolidated coal company going to work. The men could not Ik persuaded nor forced to abandon the intention of working. The wives of the miners willing to work assembled in a body at the mouth of the Kckhart mine and declared to the strikers that if they did not allow their husbands to go to work, they would go in the mines themseves, take up the picks und shovels and work for them. CoNNi-i.i.svii.i.ii, I'll., May 12, The greatest excitement prevailed all night in this vicinity over the threatened at tack on the Mover works by S.OUii men who attended the meeting there yester day. The company increased its guard to 125 men and issued strict orders to shoot down all who trespassed on the company's property. Nearly every per son in town remained up all night ex pecting a desperate battle. An independ ent military compnny of 75 men was also held in readiness to move to Mover on n moment's notice. The strikers, learning of the large force of armed men waiting their appearance at Mover, dis persed. Ciiattakouoa, Tenn.. May 12. Ow ing to the action of miners who persist in remaining out on a strike for what the company considers no cause, the Tennessee Coal, Iron und Railroad com pany have decided to dismantle the Whitcwcll mines, move the company's store nud abandon the mines indchtcly. This menus that 500 men will be cut out of support from this source and will have to seek employment elsewhere. FEMININE BOYCOI-TERS. They won't Buy of Merchants -Who Support Urecklurldite.

EAKI.Y CI.OSINU. i Movement That Will tilvc Clerks a llreathlnit Spell. A movement is on foot to have an early losing rule observed during the summer mouths by all of the business houses in Asheville with the exception of grocery stores. The plan is to close at 7 p, m., uud the idea has many arguments to commend it. Ordinarily there is little bnsmess done in the stores after o'clock, and the closing ut that hour would give the overworked clerks an op- lortuiiity to leave the daily grind nnd get recreation, which would be a benefit in every wnv. How many of Asheville s business houses will join the early closing move' menu ? AT CARRIER'S. Helen tirav and l.ei The Race Winners Friday.

Thev are Determined to Dawdle A Ion it and Prevent Action On the -rami Blll-uuav a chief Olleuder. WAslilxi.ruN. May 12. Oil yesterday, shortly alter the time came for the in troduction of bills in the Senate (Juay; introduced a bill, previously introduced in another Congress, pro iding for a codification of the laws of the District of Columbia. It is one of the most voluin nious bills in the document room, nnd IJuay insisted that il be read the first time in full. I'udcr the rules one objec tion carried it over until today. The practice of reading bills by title the first nnd second time is done by unanimous consent only, and it does ni.t npiK-ar clear bow the Democrats can avoid listening to the rending of bills if the members who introduce tlieni insist upon it. I here arc ninny very large and bulky measures that have never been en acted into law that slumber peacefully in the desks of Senators ready to follow the pace set by (Juay, and there is, under the present rule, no means whereby a majority can prevent the introduction and reading of every document in the shape of a hill in the' document room. Hy this means time will be consumed in the transaction of morning business un til 1 o'clock arrives, when the tarill" bill comes up and the Hams resolution to provide longer working hours for the Sen ate fails for the day. The Republicans ol course deny that thev arc lilibusterniL' or consuming time needlessly. They an nounced today that thev will hold a cau cus Monday night at the residence ol Senator Sherman to confer regarding the policy to he pursued bv thorn in relation to the tarill hill. COXEVN NEW CAMP Outs a Hundred ol The OrlKnul Army l.rli Washington, May 12. The stall ol the Coxcy army from Camp Tyranny for Hladcnburg was made this m iming promptly at U o'clock. The army with its recent aeesslons numbered f2." men according to Carl Iliownc's figures, but it numbered less than a hundred ol those who crossed the mountains. The tramps seemed to appreciate the change from their unhealthy quarters tis a picnic, par ticularly as the commissary wagons were well supplied for several dajs, at Ic.ast. As a dime-drawing attraction the army had ceased to pay in the city, and yesterday, in order to get tnything like a crowd, one ol the wagons was driven through the streets displaying a big placard, "admission lice to Coxcy camp today." The new camp is situ ated a distance of about six miles north east of the city. The motion for a new trial in the case ofCoxcv, llrownc and loncs will be called up Tuesday. IN SOCIETY.
