1'IoukIiik 1'K'iiMiirt'.
The joint gatberiog of what J, Wiley
Shook calls "the opponents oi organized
D.'tnocrac) " the Republicans and ii
party folk of the Thirty-third Senatorial
district in Asheville jesterday was not
a thrilling affair. A little spasmodic en
thusiasm was exhibited in some parts ol
the house, but it all looked as though
there was lacking that heurtiness which
ought to animate a party when it nom
inates a standard bearer.
The work of the body was mapped
out, and followed, of course. And al
though the honor of being one of the
nominees was accorded fames Montra
ville Moody of Hay wood, that stalwart,
who cannot snore under the same bed
juilt with "Buck" Kluhin, was ttot there
make a speech and tire the nattre
breast that lugs about a hatred for all
things Democratic.
Two men were named for the Senate,
committees were anpoiited and inci
dentally Harry Kumbuugh was allowed
to hold down the chair and make a
declamation exposing his sores.
About 3 o clock I. Wiley Shook rapped
the delegates to order and submitted a
few remarks. He called attention to the
fact that the district for which nomina
tions were .to be made was one of the
richest in the State, lie alluded Jo the
agreement at Kulcigh by which the Re
publicans were to recognize all parties
who oppotc organized Democracy, and
was glad to sec that purt of the citizen
ship present. He culled the agreement a
bargain, "and hoped that, although the
arrangement might not suit all exactly,
d nerenccs ol opinion would be put aside.
Jeter (.. l ritclmrd nominated the per
manent chairman, and James Frank sec
onded it. Col. I.usk. also, took a hand
as a second, a second hand, or something
of that nature, and solemnly asseverated
that to second the nomination anorded
bim one of the niosfplcosing pleasures"
ofbiBlifr. When it is known how mucb
the Colonel loves bird hunting the force
of this remark will be appreciated. He
was glad to welcome such young men to
the help it not to the ranks id the repub
licans. The motion was submitted and
carried.
Lol. Lusk and Dr. 1, A. Harris were
appointed to conduct the permanent
chairman to the desk, after the assurance
from J. iley that he would tin re be ini
tiated and given the right hand of fellow
ship. I hen the chairman United into an
address. Denunciations and paroxysms
swept bv in gorgeous panoramic display
and This Citizkn was several times al
luded to. us "the great propagator 01
truth, the one sheet paper, et?. t
I'aul, too, was drugged into the riiscu
(ion. aevernl swear words, really too
naughtvtobe repeated, were iulrilurded
County government wus ripped iid the
back. Some applause was heard as he
pioceeded.
During a breathing spell Uditor Rob
erts moved a vote of thanks to our
worthy chairman for bis able and pa
triotic address." The s' ring was pulled
anil the vote ol thanks went.
Frank Lawson was elected permanent
secretary and C. b. cms assistant. Mr.
Lawson did not appearat the secretary s
desk.
A roll call of counties Bhuwid all were
represented, and a credentials committee
composed of C. 13. Mash burn of Maui
son, 0, W. Cannon ol Buncombe, and 1.
L. Grtcn of Haywood was appointed
while the committee was out Lon
Wells was called up to say a few words,
and he responded very emphatically. A
speech like Ins would never pass quarnn
tine the most powerful disinfectants
would be as cflcctual as the pouring of
water on the back of a duck in an en
deavor to drown it. It was n dirty
speech.
Committeeman Mas iburn then re
porttd on credentials. The committee
also reported on the representatives to
the Pop. convention a large body.
Haywood sent no delegates, but those
present were:
Uuncomne as. is. Morgan.
Madison W. F.Jervis, Kev. John Am
mons, C. E. jervis.
The report was adopted and the nom
inations were called lor. buncombe,
generous soul ! bud no candidate to offer,
and Haywood asked to be passed. It
was Madison s turn next and Delegate
Mashburu placed before the body the
uame of lames M. Moody of Havwood.
This was seconded by Delegate Green of
Moody s county, who declared Moody
able and determined enough to frame
and fight lor the legislation he thought
the people needed. Whether this was
flinn at I'enrson's record on the county
government question cannot bcdcfinitely
stated.
Mai. Rollins moved Moody s nomina
tion by acclamation, which carried, and
the chairman announced Moody as the
nominee for the 32d district. He changed
it to 33d. however.
This much ol the program being cured
for, . Wilev suggested that the Populist
brethren be allowed to mate a nomina
tion, in accord with the alorcmentioned
nereement. Then Secretary Jervis took
the floor and made a speech nominating
Rev. lolm Amnions ol MauiB'in lor
Moodv's side partner. Mr. Jervis'
speech was clean and clear the only
thine wrong was his saying the Ik-mo
crats would be turned out "as sure as
the sun shines in the heavens today.'
(It was cloudy and drizzling nearly all of
the altcrnoon. I Kev. Mr. Animons nua
been agreed upon in the caucus of Tops.
before the Keo. convention opened.
Muj. W. W. Rollins, in the tremulous
voice that has been heard to many times
iu these parts, seconded Mr. Amnions'
nomination. He thouuht. utter the Kens,
and Pops, had accomplished the repeal
of the county government and election
laws t he v could iconrate it tneir pate
ways should lie apart, but now was the
time to stand together lu addition to
this he moved the nomination of Mr,
Amnions by acclamation. This was
carried, although the chaitman did not
call for a nay vote.
In accord with a motion a campaign
committee, composed as follows, with J.
Wiley Shook ns chairman, was selected:
Buncombe J. N. Morgan, H. S. Hurk
ins, K, B. Roberts, Dr. Brock, Dr. I. A.

Nominee Rev, John Ammons was called
out and said he came before the people
iu a new roie, aimougn be had been ap
pearing before audiences for 40 years.
tie did not mean, however, that in tak
ing up tnis race be would breathe an
atmosphere that was different from that
which be had breathed for 40 years. He
had been born in a Democratic family,
nursed at a Democratic breast, rocked in
Democratic gum (cradles were un
known then) and lor more than 40 years
had voted the straight Democratic ticket.
But once he bad made up bis mind to
change, all the powers of the eternal pit
could not swerve him. He felt sure of
bis election as sure as be could be of
anything that was not a developed,
material tact belore bis eyes.
At this juncture the proceedings were
stopped by adjournment.
