Ratify.
From the AshcciHe Citizen.
A large number of Motifs followers
being in attendance upon the Federal
Court, it was thought happy time by
some of the faithful to get up rat
flying meeting, and endorse their
Boss's work of last week; so call
was made for "a mass meeting" We'd
nesday night at the Court House, at
which Messrs. Boyd and Ball, district
attorneys, would speak. A large
crowd, and some as sympathizers,
more as spectators, assembled. Mr..
Ball opened in an hours speech, in
which he endeavored to explain the
neutrality-suspicious., and to eek
plain" how DIR. York, "a late demo-
crat" had been placed at the head of
the ticket of the "party," insisting that
DIR. York had "acted like a good re-
publican and everybody, specially
republicans, should support him; stated
that "after consulting" the convention
failing to find republican suitable to
put at the head of the ticket, Mr..
Russell and Mr.. Dockery declining,
concluded to put a Liberal at the head
and unanimously agreed on DIR. ork.
Just here a republican who fails to
enthuse over the work of Motifs con-
vention, asked Mr. Ball if York was
a republican. Mr. Ball said he was,
Mr.. Lusk asked if York did not re-
fuse, and had not persisted in the re-
fusal, to go into a republican caucus
at Washington. Mr.. Ball endeavored to
evade the question by asking Mr..
Lusk what he knew about it, and how
he got the information Mr.. Lusk
stated positively Mr.. Y ork had never at
tended republican caucus in Wash
ington, but had publicly refused to do
so. Mr.. Ball continued to defend the
convention, stating it was represen-
tative body, and work was done fair
ly, every delegate voting for York,
save three. Here Mr.. Thos, j. Can
dler arose and corrected Mr.. Ball
saying the voters of Haywood and
Buncombe were cast for York illegal
" and agaist the wishers of the dele
gates Mr.. Herren called out to know
who cast the votes illegally, and was
promptly an swered by Mr.. Cand-
Ter and other republicans, "Herren. y
Here great confusion ensued, but Mr..
Ball proceeded with his story" order
was soon restored, and Mr.. Ball con-
cluded by saying he had not tried to
make 'hifaulting' speech, but left
took the stand and proceed to the
task assigned by Mr.. Ball, and hifault
ed on the grand principles of the great
republican party, eulogized DR.. York
as a great and fit man to be supported
by republicans, as he had been select
ed by "the party, and it was done a:
the only chance to beat the "Bourbor
Democrats" Both Ball and Boyo
are pleasant speakers, and make the
most Of not onl y bad cause, but, in
this instance, one which their effort!
consist altogether Of hifaulting tall
without any heart. Although theil
speeches one could notice dont-care
/. a-d-n-air, but talk is cheap ane
any Office is a good thing to have.
After. Mr.. Boyd concluded, the ful
began. The crowd called for MI
VIM. G. Gambler, who was delegat
to the recent convention, and with
drew, after seeing Mott and O'Harr
had "fxed" matters to rupudiate re
publicans and trust sore-headed dem
ocrat upon them. Mr. Gambler pre-
ceeded to denounce the utter unfair
ness and trickery of the convention
honest republicans who went to tn
convention in the interest of true re
publican principles and true republ
cans were ignored, and the revenu
ring ruled the roost. He heartily er
dorsed the resolution to repeal the In
ternal Revenue, because of all thing
the people should demand, relief fro1
the tyranny of the Revenue Ring wa
most important. He concluded by dt
claring himself republican candidat
for Congress in this dist. Loud cal
by republicans for Mr.. Lusk brougt
that gentleman to the stand, and he
OPENED THE CAMPAIGN
on York. As republican who fe
himself and his party outraged b
Mott and his clacqueurs, he addresse
himself to republicans, and in one
the most vigorous speeches we eve
heard, illustrated with telling ans
dotes, and strong argument, he di
sected the Mott purpose to rule {
ruin the republican party, and tt
record ofthe man whom the Boss,
had decided to thrust down the
throats. In discussing DIR. York
record in relation to public measur
of vital importance to Western Mort
Carolina, notably the Western Mort
Carolina Railroad, and the Insal
Asylum at Morganton, and his pate
nal relationship to the county COVE
ment system which is odious to r
publicans, he was strongly impressiv
and ut times was eloquent in his d
nunciations of the rape which had bee
committed to his party. and that, to
by the consent ofits friends, so-calle
Mr. Lusk declared that before Augu
republican would be in the field fl
governor who would reflect credit 6
the party, defend its integrity, and a
ford to honest members of the par
an opportunity to maintain their SCI
respect; that he could not, and
the help of God would not suppn
York. but would fight him until n
vember." Mr.. L1sk continued:
