The dry, cool wind has begun to
set the dust in motion.

The dry, cool wind has begun to
set the dust in motion.
BuncOmbe's great staple, cabbage
came in yesterday in large quantity, and
fine quality.
Let US have peace to-day, full vot.
ing, but quiet exercise of the rights
of free men.
DR.. r. FL. Reeves returns this
morning from a visit to Tennessee,
of which his patrons will please
take notice.
The fine beef in the different meat
markets is creditable to this section,
Meat is good now; why not keep it upto
the standard all the year round?
A white frost covered the ground
yesterday morning, the first general
one of the season. The mercury
nearly touched the freezing point at
sunrise. The day following was
magnificent.
White men of AsheviIle, you who
cannot be bought, wilIyou endorse
the methods of Mr.. Pearson, such as
you kraoa0 he has resorted to to buy
men to vote and work for him. by
voting for him yourselves?
AS an indication of the increased
of Asheville, SOL new votes
were registered by Mr.. Sum-
mey preliminary to to-day's election.
Probably 5000 votes will be cast in
Buncombe to day.
The boys worked hard on yester-
day, preparatory for to day. Let
every man keep cool to-day, work
as his conscience tells him he
should work, land democracy will
again come out triumphant.
Maj. Wilson informed us a few
days ago that he was fully at work
with his survey of the French Broad
Railroad. The line runs down the
right banks of the river as far as
~
Newport.
Parties are watching the bribery
business which has been going on
the part campaign, and men have
already been spotted for Judge
Shuford's next court. Let all bribe-
givers and bribetakers beware.
Until the nomination of Jones and
Gudger when have the Democrats of the
county insisted on men of their own
choice? The farming interests are Vitally
concerned in this contest-and to elect
Pearson and Wells is to give those in
terests telling blow. Will Asheville
merchants and business men do that?
Mr.. Pearson's paper the Advance
said a few days ago that Doodle
not brains, would control in this
campaign. We only ask if honest
men will allow Doodle" candidates
to carry Buncombe. Can it be pos
sible ?
A good man heard crowd at Warm
Springs discussing Flopdoodles, and up
on hearing it explained what they were,
replied with disgust, "Why thought
some of them soretailed monkeys had
got away from the circus, and the folks
in Buncombe were trying to catch Them
He was not SO far wrong in his idea of
them or of what they are like, after all.
There are men who have been
pocketing Mr.. Pearson's money, ten
and twenty dollars per week, some
one and two dollars per day, to work
and vote for him. How can such,
born of decent parentage, raised as
honest white men, enter upon such
work. Great God, have a0hite men
in Buncombe come to this!
Mr.. Pearson's paper urges it read
ers to "vote the straight ticket" The
Ad0anee processes to be democrats
ic" paper. Is it going back on its
republican friends at this late day
or does it mean to throw of all pre-
tense to democracy and urge all to
vote the republican ticket. Why
does it not say who it wishes people
to vote for?
Mr.. Ellick, the dealer in turs in
this city, was indicted and tried by
the recent Inferior Court for false

kas = ,,o,rx oUHo,11{S,ro 4-so1 rrxskI III
the evidences which could be pros
duced, was acquitted. We are not
only glad of this acquittal but from
what we learn we think the prosecu-
ton was totally unjust. Mr.. Ellick,
SO far as we can ascertain, has all
ways been straight forward trader,
and, has really been of much ad-
vantage to our people by buying
furs, &C., which could not have 9TH
erswise been disposed of.
