In fact, there have been few heavier snow alls in this city than that of yesterdav since the bl zzird of 1888.

Ifl PIW" Buncombe County Criminal Court Promises to Be Interesting. i.-iniE THE HOUSES WERE PULLED BY MAYOR COCKE In Consequence of Judge Evvart's Charge to the Grand Jury, Made at Last Term of Court. Special to TriE Tribune. . Asheville, N. C, January 23. The Tribune is a 'plum daisy," "best raner in the State' are h few of the r i many encomiums heaped upon the new Republican Raleigh daily. Today the temoerature dropped from 50 to 17 d( - rees; and it bids fair to be the coldest day cf the year. Buncombe Criminal Court convened this morning, Judge Ewart presiding. The docket is the largest in the State. there being over S50 cases, four of whiih are murders. There are many important cases, among which are State vs. ex-Sheriff Reynolds, who is charged with embez zling $48,000, money collected by him as taxes. State vs Loughrah, the member of the Democratic Stste Executive Com miltee from the 9th district, charged with bribery of voters. State vs. L. R. R. Co., State vs. L Mutual Build ing and Loan Association., State vs. Swan, secret assault. In State vs. Reynolds Hon. Cy Wat son, late Democratic candidate for Governor, appears with T H. t'obb and J. D Murphy for the State, while Judge Merrimon and a long array of eminent local counsel appear for Reynolds. Reynolds was for years sheriff of this county, is largely aud influentially con nected, and the trial elicits great inter est, and every inch of the ground will be fought. He is sanguine of acquittal. Tbe ciiarge of Judge Ewart hascrraeo quite a sensation. At he last term ot the Court he had called the attention of the grand jury to the notorious exitteoc cf disorderly hous-s, and had stated thai they could only exist through collusion with the city police. This excited the ire of his Honor, the Mayor, and he made some sarcai-tic references t" the Court, to Which his Honor, Judge Ewart, made a rather spicy rejoinder. The demi monde, frightened at Judge Ewait's charge to the !granoj jury, leti the city in droves, but after adjouinm-ni returi ed. On Saturday Mayor C- ck ordered all houses raided, nnd hia Court has been crowded since. Thre are thone here who are uncharitable enough to sa that it was done to forestall action on thr part i f the Criminal Court. Upon ihe question, Judge Ewart had this to say: . JUDGE EWART'S CHARGE TO THE GRAND " JURY. ; ' . ' "I congratulate the municipal authori ties," said Judge Ewart in his charge to the grand jury yesterday "upon the active steps they have taken against houses of ill fame in this city. At the last term of tlds Court I had called the attention of the uraiid jury to this notorious nuisance, and had stated that it could only exist through cohusion between the proprie tors of these houses and the police. In this I did not mean to convey the idea of corruption when I used the term collu sion; but what 1 do mean, and I reiterate the statement, is that it is impos-ible for these house to exist in any city without the knowledge of the police that they do exist, and that whenever the police au thorities determine that they shall be broken up, they are broken up. 2o seu.-iole man fUppea lor a mo meut that the social evil can bedtstrojed. But though we cannot stamp out this -vil, wv can at hast prejvent it from; throwing a irandeof respectability over it. and becomiag so open ancL eo serious as to d'srate ihe community in which thev exist." But punishment in a mayor 8 court dene not release thtSci keepers of disor derly I ouses from punishment in the State couit-s and if indicted in this court, h tiny should' be, and convicted, you ' . k I .. .. may reft assured that the tun pe. ai.y oi ihe law w,U be meted out to these par lien. We have recently rassed through tbe strain aod excitemeiit cf a great election, nam rihl ai d State. The pub:ic press of he S. ate has ttemed wiih charges and coutiur cha'ges.of the use of money, and he coi rui turn of the electors at the Dai- lot box. It has been charged that in this State, that in this ciunty, money was scn-tly used in the buyn g and selling of vote's. If this grave charge is true, it it be true that our voters can be bought aid duven like sheep to the polls, tt.en indetd have we renchea a mosx lamen taMe condition of affairs. Ihe biioerv and corruption .of the f-ltctoiK of this country means the ppeedy dl-rupti n aud destruction of Repuolicau m ituti' ns.

I can conceive of nothing more despicable, more cowardly, more contemptible than the man who would take the bread out of the mouths of some poor woman, or perhaps little children, in order io force his fellow man to cast a vote against which his judgment and conscience rebelled. The press of this city have published accounts to the ef fect that a political organization in this city has openly declared the purpose of its members to gire employment to no one unless it should be to a man of the politica opinions of that organization. lh snecUratio i,itirue,m stshame ful and disgraceful, and I am sure can not and will not be countenanced by the law abiding citizens of this city and county. B-sidrS, if carried out, it is a violation of the criminal la w,, and sub jects those who Carry out this threat to indictment ana puni?nment. ueau re member theur ing and scathing words of the eloquent Brvan, the great leader of Democracy in the memorable cam Dait;n i rsr past, when in a burst of elo tiuence he exclaimed: 'The man who would bv threats, or menace, drive the p or employe t cat a vote s gainst con ccie'ice sake 'twere base flattery to call a coward.' The man who would drive frnm his humble place in the field, or factory, the hborr or operative who choose to exercise the G-d given right f suffrage, a id cast that ballot which his .conscience and judgment dictates, merits the scorn and detestation of all brnve and hon rable mjr. "I change jou that if any citizen in this countv rns hen threatuned with or dis charged from employment on account of my vote he my have cat m the recen election, the man who so discharged him is guilty of a violation of the criminal aw, and it is your sorn duty to indict him. Judee Ewart added that it had ber sid that iu-ticesof the peace have not been making returns or nnes in ineo c urts. It, h- snid, tre grand jury found his charge to be true it was the duty of th b d v a indirt tr-e eruilty ones. The political piepot is commencing to boil. For Collector of the "Hli district we have W. R. Rollins, ex Sheriff John G. Gran- and Chas. J. Harris of Jackson county. Either of the three will satisfy Western Republicans. , For U. S. District Attorney J. M. Moody is the only applicant. For the Marshalship is mentioned W. S. Hyams and ex Sheriff Grant of Henderson coun ty. Now that C. B Moore is settled in the-U. S. D strict Court clerkship, H. S. Haskins is certain to be the postmaster of this city. If Judge Norwood resig s the yacancy will be filled by the appoint ment of either P. A Cummings or John A. Hendrix of Madison county. Hon. Geo. H. Smathers would, doubtless, be. appointed if he would accept it , "but it is said he does not wish the place.

The opposition wa- based almos entirelv upon Mr. Forman's conduct in t he. recent campaign. j Senator Jones, Chairman of tbe Na tional Democratic Committee said he bnDOsed the candidacy of Mr. Forman with much reluctance, but he could not permit his attack upon the regular ticket Lof the Democratic party to pas3 unheeu i - - ed, especially as they were brought to the attention of the country by the ap po ntment to such an important position of the man who had made them, lie xnarks along similar lines were made by Senators Berry and Stewart.
