The Republican State Convention

and G. II. Graham, Henry Kellogg,

the action of Senator Ingalls, in the

While visiting town III the val.
ley a short time ago, We were re.
minded of failing of almost all
towns, and that is they are rarely so
well satisfied with the newspapers
they have, but what they are willing
to assist others to start, the town we
refer to has a good paper, one that
devotes nearly all the reading matter
to booming the town and surround.
ing country. The patronage of the
place will support one paper very
well, but not two, the editor knows
lie is doing his best for the town and
thinks ne is giving thu best satisfac
tion, and yet a movement is on foot
to start another paper, that at hrst
for few months everybody will
like, then be willing 10 assist another
paper to come in, such is the history
of western towns, aud is great mis-
take. 1t NAV be said that newspa-
per men should know these facts and
not be caught, but they have every
encouragement offered them to start
paper, and cannot tell except by
trying just what the people will do
in the way of support. There are
too many half starved papers in the
country, their editors may. blow
about their towns and their own
prosperity, but their advertising pat
ronage tells the story too plainly to
those acquainted with the business,
we know of papers in Bent land dis
trict that would not be published two
weeks If the lard office patronage
was taken away from them and vet
in one case the paper is in n good
town that will not assist their only
paper by advertising, and ike the
subject of this sketch are trying to
secure another paper.

Hon. Thos. D. Johnston.

At the close of Col. A. NJ. Waddells
speech yesterday, there was loud and
universal cry for Representative John
ston, who was present as listener. He
came forward readily, and in an un-
premeditated and discursive speech,
discussed The topics of the day with force
and animati7.s:y Rii4lF-f5s-l ols-+e- ilill
our columns W ..fsempt no outline of his
remarks. We only refer to one topic
He charged upon the Republicans in
Congress absolute and deliberate insin-
cerity in their declaration made in their
Chicago platform regarding the repeal of
the Internal Revenue laws. They had
made the repeal dependent on so many
conditions, and involving such enormous
expenditures of the public monies, that
repeal by the Republicans could never
be reached, much less contemplated. He
Mr.. Johnston-had given them the
opportunity to prove their good faith.
When the Mills bill was on its vote, he
bad offered an amendment providing for
the repeal of those laws. The Republi-
cans voted against the amendments Mr.
Lusk rose, and asked the question, chow
the Democrats voted; if they had not
voted against it?" Yes, replied Mr.. J.,
"a majority of them did" The amend
ment was offered to expose the insin-
cerity of the Republicans; 35 Southern
Democrats voted for the amendment
The Republicans solidly refused 10 vote.
We cannot at present follow Mr..
Johnston farther except to refer to a
matter personal to himself He said it
was charged against him here, that he
had personal interest in the location of
the public building; and would exercise
control or influence it its construction.
He empathically denied this. He said
he had procured the passage of the bill
authorizing the construction of the build
ing and that was glory enough for him.
Where it was put was no concern of
his, nor was the employment of archi.
tects, builders or laborers any business of
his He would have, and could lave, T o
partici patton in the matter.
The speech of Capt. Johnston had
altogether fine influence though it was
unprecedented, and it's treatment large
ly controlled by the brief time allotted
him; for the bell for opening of Court
rang precisely at 8 o'clock.

A Deputy sheriff

Is wanted by the citizens residing
at Asheville Junction, to preserve
the peace and dignity of that bail
iwick. 1t seems that for some time
past the good people of that section
have been constantly annoyed by
parties, who, coming to Asheville,
get filed with liquor, and then go
out to the Junction to raise 'cainn
generally, greatly to the discomfort
Of the residents in that locality.
These rows have been practiced long
enough, and the people are tired Of
it. They ask and deserve protec-
ton against the rudeness and dis
turbances raised by these drunken
roughs. and we rtspectfuliy call the
attention of sheriff Worley to the
complaints OF the people of Ashes
vile Junction in this respect.

AT OAK GROVE.
Mr.. Craig Speaks, and Col. Lusk
Tells How Cheap Horses and
Hogs Can be Bought.

One Of the largest crowds ever
gathered together onethe Madison
county line were assembled at Oak
Grove, on Saturday, to hear Mr..
Locke Craig and Col. Lusk discuss
the political issues Of the day. The
house was crowded, and the audi
ence as is usual in Madison, was
largely radical.
Mr.. Craig opened the speaking at
2:30 o'clock, p. M, in an able and
eloquent explation of the tariff sys-
tern, which he handled like giant.
The falIae;ss and theories OF pros
lection, he scattered to the winds,
and his speech upon the whole was
one of the strongest yet made in the
county. He spoke for one hour,
and was replied to by Col. Virgil S.
Lusk, in a speech of an hour and a
half's duration.
The doughty Colonel was on his
Gown stamping ground" and the
way he preached protection was a
caution, even to the oldest radical
inhabitant of those parts. He made
the same old radical speech of yore,
that has given many a hearer the
ear-ache before, and among other ex-
travagant assertions the Colonel
said that if the free trade theory ever
came into practice "horses would
sell at 50 apiece, and SOW and pigs
could be purchased anywhere for
ct cents" This made the radicals
smile and weep, alternately, and the
Colonel made lots of figures like the
above. The "rads" couldn't stand
it, and they "caved in" when Mr..
Craig again got up and riddled the
Colonel fore and aft with the solid
shot of tariff reform and pure de-
mocracy. The audience paid espe-
cial attention to what Mr.. Craig had
to say, and several heretofore rank
radicals threw up the radical sponge
of protection and will vote for
Cleye1and and reform in November.
Good work was done at Oak Groye
Saturday, and we doubt not but that
Mitchell will again come into the
fold of democrcY, from which she
unfortunately and inadvertently
strayed, not so very long ago.

Our friend Yates of the Charlotte
Democrat rebukes US for our sensi-
tiveness regarding the reports cir
culated of the alleged sickness in
Asheville, and signifies a very phil
osophic Indifference to such reports
as applied to Charlotte, Statesville
or Salisbury. We conceive the
cases to be widely different. Those
towns are healthy, or they might be
otherwise; but they go Oh in their
even tenor, unaffected by what may
be said, because with them reputa.
ton for health, as well as other de-
sirable incidents, is not capital. It
is capital in Asheville, and on the
strength of it large investments have
been made, and the strongest in~
ducements extended, not only to
the visitor for the season, but TO
permanent settlers. Therefore the
sensitiVeness OF the CITIZEN and of
the people here is natural and JUS
tiffable, because the propagation OF
false statements works direct loss
and damage. We know the abso-
lutte falsity of the statements as re-
gard sickness this summer, a period
of unusual health, and we know the
motive that instigates them. There,
fore we will.not abstain, even un-
der the imputation of oyer sensi-
tiveness, from exposing, when occa-
sion calls tor it, both motive and
falsehood.
