of laughter. and the many hundred

in the first act is dainty piece of vocaliza-
ton. Gussie Hart is irresstably clever and
does all OF her role in pleasing wav, and
the Quaker dance with the ever popular
TIA Ia Ia. Boom" is heard about the middle
of the performance. Ryan and Sheehan

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Speech.

Asheville, y. c., Sept. 2O.-Special.-
The ProhibitiOnists are much stronger in
this western country than the Third
party is, but this is not saying much for
their strength. It was feared one time
that they might endanger the success Of
the Democratic county ticket, but recent
events have dissipated all such fears
John w. Starnes, one of the Democratic
nominees for the Legislature, and J. D..
Murphy chairman of the county execu-
tive committee, addressed the Democratic
club Of Haw Creek last Friday. Mr.
Murphy was frequently interrupted dur
ing his speech by an overZcalous Repub-
lican present. Mr. Murphy submitted
patiently for a while, but eventually grew
tired and asked him a few questions. The
Republican finally admitted that his party
was committed to the Force BILL and the
crowd silenced him with boots and jeerS
every time he tried TO interrupt Mr.. Muir
ply after this fatal admission
General X. Il. Vance will address the
club next Friday evening
General Hampton, who is in charge of
tho Democratic headquarters here, or
dered three thousand extra copies Of Il
mOraing paper published here containing
the full eext Of General Stevenson \
speech for distribution all over Western
Carolina.
The people have not quit discussing the
speech and estimating the probable effect
of Stevenson visit here yet. Ii seems TO
be the general opinion among thinking
men that the visit will result in much
good 10 the Democratic party and the
Republicans evidently think so, for
they are making strenuous eff
forts to get some of their great speakers
down here during the campaign, notably,
Major Mckinley.
Pritchard claims the district now by
from four to five hundred. The Demo
Gratis are confident Of 1000 majority over
both the Republicans and Third party.
The Hickory Daily Bulletin is the la
test addition TO journalism in Western
North Carolina. 1t is Democratic in
politics.
The board of health Of Asheville are
taking every precaution against the in-
PRODUCTION of cholera from New York
They have requested the active co-ope-
ration of the city police in enforcing
strictly their sanitary regulations, and
thus keeping the city clean, and the latter
have responded cheerfully.
The board issued letter this morning.
ostenSibly addressed to the police force,
but III fact 10 the entire population of the
town, urging that the streets and private
premises be vigilantly watched and kept
