what the BreVard Hustler saws of
The Ashe<ille POsiniasteship

From the Brcvard Hustler Dee, $.
Among the candidates for postmaster
at Ashevile under the coming admins
tration is Mr.. J p. Kerr, of THE CITIZEN,
and in our opinion no candidate in the
field is more competent or would fill the
position more creditably. Years of ex-
perience in the business world and close
observance of the same has given Mr..
Kerr an unusal insight in all thoughts of
business nature. No man in the 9th
Congressional district exerted greater
influence in he campaign just ended. He
lett his place of business and made the
canvass with Mr.. Crawford, putting his
whole heart in the work, thus doing
much for the cause he strongly advocated.
Give the spoils to those who performed
the work
Mr.. Geo. W. TiIson we'll known here,
and whose influence is felt from one end
of the district to the other. was antci.
pating being candidate for that posi-
ton, but when he heard that Mr.. Kerr
was in the race galantly gave way say
ing, "Mr. Kerr has done too much to
meet with opposition and | will not
offer for the office" Mr. Tilson, too,
also did much for the Democratic
ticket and We take pleasure in say
ing, he would fill with credit any posi-
ton for which he would apply from post
master to chief clerk of the Senate, and
we would be pleased to see him pro-
NOTED if be should ask it done.
Should Mr.. Kerr be appointed post
master at Ashevile, we would not be
surprised. He is man and the people
know it.

The case came up before Judge Mclver,
who decided that the ordinance was
void on the ground that it gave the
aldermen too much authority. The city
took an appeal to the Supreme court.

against him. The search for persons
connected with the crime goes on. There
are no detectives and a great opportun-
ity for work by them is afforded.

THAT PRIMARY.
A RaiIro ad Man Gives His Opin-
Ion of 1t.

EDITOR The CITIZEN A writer in yes
terday's Gazette, signing himself A Jack
sonian Democrat, advocates calling a
primary for the selection of suitable man
for the postoffice in this city. Was any
thing like this ever before thought of?
can say, not by the oldest inhabitant.
Any man of business knows who he
wants for the place and il he has twenty
petitions presented to him a day he
will certainly have sense enough to
sign the one lie thinks advocating the
best man. There is Just as much
common sense in this thing, as it would
be for the citizens to call primary to
say to Grover Cleveland who he shall
put in his cabinet. know there are
many who are sore-headed and
want all the good things themselves,
but let them work like our next
postmaster, J. P. X, has done for
the election of Congressman Craw-
ford, for am sure he has done
more towards his election than any one
man in the Democratic party. And as to
o man signing petition to get clear OF
the party who presents it, he would be
a man whose name ~ would not have to
a petition to draw even a pension;" and
that was the easiest thing possible un-
