Iiurhliani, Who litis Been En dorsed, Tulka Some Approved llv publlcaulsm Major Westull Gives Some Facts and Talk Very Plainly. The Prohibition rally at the court house last evening was not very largely nttenrled. hut there were some interest- hns taik-The cam to I i i t tt :, i i .,1. order by J. I. Hill and opened with prayer by Rev. J. C. McKeynolds of the Christian church. The first speaker was Col. W. D. Jus tice, who thought it would probably be advantageous to reverse the usual order of praying for prohibition and voting against it. He gave numerous statistics on the subject and thought it would be a good thing for prohibition if some of those who oppose it would try to con trovert some of the facts then there would be 'more opportunity for argu ment. Chairman Hill supplemented Col. Jus tice's talk with a few remarks, and then Geo. 11. Uurnliaui, the Prohibition can didate (with Republican endorsement) for the legislature, was called. Mr. Burnham gave a leaf from bis personal history as a preface, saying that at the age of 25 he had awakened to the true appreciation ot tbc terrible e Meets of drink. He thought nothing could be done for prohibition so long as the pres ent system of county government stood. In endorsing nun, he said, the Kepubh cans had not asked him to sacrifice one principle, because they knew be wouldn't do it. He was not afraid of any whis key trust. He denounced a system whereby two or three men could ap point the justices of the peace for the State." There were black slaves in 18GU, but in 1894, be said, there were black and white slaves. Hven women were sent to the chain gang and made to use a shovel and pick, and it they were un ruly their backs were lashed. He thought more of Thos. W. Patton than ever when be established vhe Reforma tory. He alluded to Judge Thos. A. (ones' recommendation that stripes should be placed upon felons only, and closed with a protest against indiscrimi nate immigration. Mai. T. C. Wi stall, the Prohibition candidate, was the closing speaker, and be made a vigorous speech, saying some words thai must have kit a deep im prrssion in certain quarters. He had not been "endorsed." but he would be on the lith of November acd he added "and then I'll be proud of the endorse, uient." He as not gratifying anv am' bition, but was old enough to battle for principle. The Major read a resolution which he hud proposed nt the meeting tor coalition in liilv. In prefacing it be said: I said to them: 'Now. this fusion business, that you are trying to force on the prohibitionists, can be iued up in short order just by your adopting, by acclamation, a whereas and a resolution that I have formulated for this occasion, and that I now offer on the part of the Prohibitionists of Buncombe county as sine qua non and as our ultimatum 011 fusion : "'Whereas, The litiuor traffic is a foe to civilization, the arch enemy to popular eovernment. the manulactorv ot crimi nals, legalized suicide to the State. It is the citadel ot the forces that corrupt poll- tics. Its forces promote poverty among the masses, degrading the nation's home life, thwarting the will ot the people by delivering our country into the hands of rapacious class interests. The liquor trathc, all along the path ot lite trom the cradle to the grave, brings up to oui iArfl u prv frnm hnmnnirv rind the rrv of humanity is always the trumpet call of God and we hear the voice todnv, and harden not our hearts; thcrcfoie be it "Resolved, That wc declare for the en' tire suppression of the manufacture, sale, importation, exportation and transpor tation of alcoholic liquors as a beverage by lederal and state authorities, aad that the fall powers of the government be exerted to secure this result. And furtherfore, that any political party or any candidate for public office refusing or failing to pledge agaiust a business so vicious in principle and so damning in results, is undeserving our support. This was never adopted. "How they did dislike me for introducing it," the Major said. "That is the reason they did not endorse me. If I cannot go to the legislature on my principles, let me never go I" He closed with a suggestion that both old parties would better re pent. The meeting closed with a benediction by Kev. J. K. cannon ot the rirst M. a. church. Instrumental music was furnished by Prof. Grabau and Fitch Taylor led the singing. WAS IT ACCF.lTF.Df Anyway tli Street Force Has Uocn at Work 011 Fulton Street. Residents along Fulton street have been made elad by the work done on that street by the city force recently. There is some question as to whether the street belongs to the city, but as the work has already been accomplished it makes little difference. Street Com. mitteeman Blair says Superintendent Baird told him the city had accepted the street. City Clerk Miller is ot the opin ion that it has never been accepted. Su perintendent Baird is not sure whether It nas urcii niwincu IK IUIUK. IIUU' ably it has not but he saw the work was needed, and naa it aone. Now. some think that, considering everything, the city would do well to oav nood attention only to streets that it has accepted. The finance committee allowed in its estimate for the year $500 a month for street work. This, some think, is probably more than should be set aside for this purpose under the cir cumstances, but it private streets, thev sav. are worked there will be no trouble id expending the money. But the people on rulton street pay taxes and want some recognition. C arter and Martin.

EAIiSON. t'lu'rokii lJiiiHX'i-utM Very Kutluislas- tlr-Ornunl.e ! Mt Ri'iiv.N. C. Oct. 3. It would hare made the heart of any true American citizen leap within him to have heard the public discussion between Crawford and Pearson here today. Old line Republi cans, who have never voted a Democratic ticket in their lives, publicly declared from their seats today in the court house that they would never support Rich mond Pearson for anything. They feel and know that they have been sold and by a few political bosses, and their rights were not maintained as loyal Republi cans, lbe tune has past even anions- Republicans when the wishes and richts of the masses can be trampled upon by a few ringdoouiers and dictators, and Pearson is beginning to realize it. He looks badly hacked and you can sec de feat plainly stamped upon him. Crawford was in good trim today, and you can bear words ot praise lor his speech from every street corner and workshop, irrespective of past party affiliations. His friends here say that he made the speech ol his life today. It is true that Cherokee county has been claimed by the Republicans hereto fore, but by the demonstrations at An drews yesterday and here today, Craw ford will carry the county by a hand some majority. There are only 15 Pear sonites, by actual count, in" Andrews precinct, where they poll over 21)0 votes, and I understand some of them arc get ting weak-kneed since their boss1 rec ord was shown up by Crawford. Some of Pearson's friends advised him to day to abandon r,uc rucc, go nomc, say nis prayers and ask the good Lord to for give his snort comings. Crawlord is going to be returned to Congress in spite of all the combinations that can lie gotten up. The common people ot this district rose up as one man and de manded bis renomination and they are going to look after his reelection on the Gth day of November. Cherokee Democrats are very cuthus-l lastic. Ben Posey is organizing his forces with great skill and ability, and you may expect to bear good results DESEHTING trom the only Republican county west of ing to the Duke ol Tallyrand, will be de Buncombe. The Republicans look crest- livcrcd at Cadiz with the Spanish loans, fallen and despirited over tin ir candidate lor Congress, and the only hone ol suc cess they entertain is to curry tiieir rep resentative through. 1 saw the Hon. Kope l.lias opponent today, and it there is anything in the ap pearance ot a man he would not cet 500 votes in the United States on a national ticket. He, like Pearson, is a broken down Democrat and a panic candidate, as Crawlord would sav. All the Democrats have to do now is to organize their forces, see that all are properly registered and go to the polls on the 6th of November, and like free American citizens vote for the man who has carried out every pledge made to the people two years ago and whose polit ical record is as clean and pure as any man s. u. 11 . 1 .
