THE COUNTY CANvAss-SANDY MUsH
AND LEIc ESTER.
The candidates spoke at Sandy Mush
Friday, very large crowd being oui to
hear them. Mr.. Gudger being detained
at home that day by sickness in his
family, Mr.. Pearson did not speak, and
Messrs. Jones and Wells of the legisla-
tive candidates, had the debate all to
themselves. Mr.. Pearson was on the
ground, however, and put in, of course,
such licks as he chose. To our surprise,
circulars on the Town of AsheYille and
his record on the 5tock.law, both of
which have been shown to be absolutely
untrue, and no one knows it so well as
Mr.. Pearson, and in many respects out
rageous. At Sandy Mush as elsewhere,
GenI Jones made splendid impression
bv the manly, straightforward, truthful
way in which he discussed and met ev-
cry question. Democracy will do well
at Sandy Mush.
| At Leicester the largest crowd of the
canvass greeted the candidates. 1t is
estimated There were over .thleo hundred
present, large majority of whom were
straight square, determined, enthusias-
TIC democrats, who will support the en-
tire democratic ticket. Mr.. .Gud-
ger resumed the canvass here.
The speaking was very lively and
aroused the democracy to its highest,
old-time jubilee pitch. When the de-
mocracy of this tow nship really tries, she
can make radicalism and their allies
! tremble, and they are in dead sure earn
est about doing their best now for the
straight ticket. Democracy is solidifying
daily.

LITTLE HARD WEST THE BIG
LIAR

VIII you please pardon me for answer
ing q ve1y small communicate publish
ed ina very small bogus democratic papel
In Asheyilfe on the 10Th, signed "Repub
lican. The very first words written BY
Republican" is an absolute falsehood
and little Hard West the big liar knew
il lie endeaVored to make It appear he
lived Ia the country. This is lie No. /
And that I nominated Al. FL. Jones. This
Is he No. 2. / nominated Col. j. O. ] an

ton.
Lie No. is that any one was led into
the convention by me.
Lie No. 4 is that 1 have not cast Re-
publican vote in ten years.
Lie No. 5 is that no one has been able
to get republican vote from me for ten
years. did vote for ST.. John a repub-
iean and prohibitionist, and am proud
of it; l did vote for II. A. Gudger and
Richmond Pearson, and now little Hard
is supporting Pearson.
Lie No. 6 is that voted for Johnstone
Jones.
Lie No. Z is I did all this against a
republican ticket.
Lie No. s is that voted against w. r.
Trull.
Lie No. 9 is that have tried to defeat
the republican candidates for ten years.
Lie No. 10 is that have worked hard
for democratic nominees.
Lie No. IL is that 1 will probably"
vote for A. H. Jones. There is no prob
ability about it.
Lie No. II is that republicans met by
the hundred in the court house and en-
dorsed Malone, and
The only truth stated by little Hard
the big liar is that he wanted every re-
publican in this district to cast a dem
ocratic ticket-that is for Maj. Malone.
Now little Hard. before you try to
teach me how to vote you had better try
your hand on your daddy who is a re-
publican Justice of the Peace, who sat
in the Joint meeting and voted to force
the stock-law on every township lin the
county. l have a little respect for the
democratic Justices who voted for this,
but l have none for a republican.
Little Hard the big liar knows that
when Mr.. Wells declined proposed the
name of Lamar Sudger, and he said he
aUould not Uote for ham. This seemed
strange to me at the time, but since it
has dawned on me that little Hard either
wanted the nomination himself, or for
his republican stock-law daddy. Had I
voted in that joint meeting for the stock
law, or endorsed such action, l would
now support Jones and Gudger, if for
else, for consistency and decency
sake, yet 1 see little Hard's daddy's
name to written agreement to support
Richmond Pearson.
Last, but not least, little Hard the big
liar, has and will have voted for more
democrats for his age than any other
republican 1 know of.
Finally, little Hard the big liar may
make good republican voter, but it will
be hard to make good people think he
will be a sincere one, especially since he
voted for York and his democratic ticket
including Knatt Atkinson.

READ THIS. DEMOCRATS.

Our readers will remember that Lieu
tenant-Governor Chas. M. Stedman was
warmly. pressed the Wadesboro Conven-
ton for nomination for Congress. His
friends were much disappointed in his
failure to receive the nomination, ana
very naturally complained bitterly OF it.
But read what Mr.. Stedman said when
the result of that ConYention was
known: 81 know of no improper COM
bination made against me, and even if
there were I should prefer to be defeated
by combination of Democrats, rather than
be elected By a combination uith Radicals"
That has the ring of the true metal. That
is the spirit of manGness and patriotism.
Cannot all Democrats of Buncombe
show the same true, manly, spirit, and
vote down all such combinations? We
believe they will.

Having seen a notice in one of the coun-
try papers in regard to DR.. Lytle's Elixir,
the medicine was at once sent for, and
although the delay in procuring it came

a faithful use of this well known remedy
resulted in the speedy control of the dis
ease and restoration to health of every
member of the family. At "a time when
hux and all other bowel troubles are so
prevalent LYtie's Elixir ought to be kept
