George A. Sherford telegraphs Mr.. Cleveland

| pledges 1000 majority for you." Yes, Cleveland
ought to run well in Buncombe County His nOmi-
nation was brought about IN large part by bun

The Cleveland organs scraping the city with a

is extremely Amusing The Erepipg Telegram of
Tuesday even went so far as to print the opinions
of two gentlemen who have beef dead for many
years" Mr. Taylor of the firm of Lord n Taylor"
and Mr. Macy, of Macy Il Co." OF course both
were helrtily for Cleveland. This paper has always
been notorious for it's bogus interviews. Since
Judge Robertson became Collector of the Port 1t

ports of conversations with him, not one of which
was genuine
Alderman Thomas Shells is described as "farly

learn that the Aldermau's party is well provided

arise The ten Obg,ryer is good enough to inform
its readers that the Democratic Presidential nomi-

hc Man Of Destiny others name him The
Creature of Cmciust anccs" After the second

Democratic and Dependent organs greatly
cousoed because quiet and conservative people
express satisfaction with the nomination of Gov
srnor Cleveland II is always satisfactory to know
that the Democratic party has not done the worst it
could do. Timid people like to reflect that at any
rate no dreadful harm can result from the success
OF either ticket" SO one fears that Mr. Cleveland
viii ever set the North River on fire, or do any
other startling thing The Democratic party might I
have nominated dangerous man it has nominated
an empty man, and considerable satisfaction Is
natural But it is rather disngcnuou, to quote
these expressions of relief. because the Democracy
has not done its worst, as manifestations of de
termination 10 voto.for Governor Cleveland. When |
