We give the Statesville Landmark
the benefit of its correction, pubs
lished below. The discrimination

last;a itis,the imputation upon the
party integrity of the Democrats oi
this section has gone far and wide
and borne its fruits. The Land
mark says: We have gone and mad e
the esteemed Asheville CITIZEN mad
whereof we are sorry. We asked if
in the event of the refusal of the
legislature to grant the western
counties certain aid for railroads
which they will demand, would the
west threaten the present system Of
county government and would il
threaten to turn the State over the
Republicans. The CITIZEN calls this
an imputation upon the fidelity OF
the western Democracy, and iharae-
terizes the question as ill>natured
and uncalled for. There was no
such imputation, nor were the ques-
tions asked in any spirit of i'll will.
But we know and everybody else
knows that there is a little coterie
of politicians in the west who are in
the habit of enforcing their demands
by threats and bulI-dozing, and it
was to this custom IRe Landmdfk
had reference. They have a habit
of bullying Legislatures and con-
ventions with threats of what ''the
west" will do unless it gets thus and
so, and it has become tolerably
tiresome. "The west is doubtless
as true to the Democratic party and
to the present system of county gov
ernment as the centre or the pied
mont section, and these politicians
could not enforce their threats if they
attempted to but all the same their
tactics have become very irritating
