MULDooN OR FoLMER ?

In long experience in the field of Journal
ism your correspondent has written accounts
Of many contests, but never of one in which
the people in and out of politics, and of all
shades OF political opinion, have taken more
interest than in this one. Themost talk here
is about the 1reasurership, and other contests
are lost sight Of Mr.. George Folmer Sr.,
who is the principal opponent of Harry Null
doom, is man Of eminent respectability as
well in civil as political life. He entered the
lists three years ago for this same office, and
but for combination of circumstances would
have been nominated. This is history now,
fresher perhaps in the minds of your readers
than in mine.
1t is said a compact was entered into be
tween the successful man at that time, Mr.
Thomas Pepper, and Mr. Folmer by the terms
Of which Mr. Folmer was to have Mr.. Peppers
support this year for the same office. So far
as is known MIR. Pepper is carrying out the
contract but promise made by one to be
fulfilled three years later often fails to bear
fruit New men and issues have sprung up
and old ones have gone into decay. Mr. Pep
per may be unable to deliver the goods-the
chances are he will lind great difficulty in
doing so-and then, alas for Mr.. Folmers
hopes cherished for so long time.
But Mr.. Pepper has strength independent
of the Pepper allies; it springs from Mr.
Litschs hopes and the ring candidates who
depend on Folmer's nomination to secure
their own. Unless, however, he come TO the
Norwegian creek with vastly greater fol-
lowing Of delegates than his adversary Mul.

No man ever won in anything, politics

he BONE OF co INTENTION.

The County Treasurer contest is absorbing
the most interest at present. The open, man .
ly, honest canvass made by your townsman,
Harry Muldoon, is commented upon on all
sides and is making for him hosts of friends,
col trasted as it is with the rule or ruin policy
employed by his leading opponent. 1t did
not take long after Mr. Mudoon entered the
field Of county politics for Office for the peo
pie to find out just what character he bore at
home and just what kind of liberal minded
man he is, As a-school director in your town
his liberal course to teachers of all classes
religions and nationalities commended him
as broad -guaged official in the right place
He was honored by the HERALD by an ap
pointment as one Of the judges to count the
vote Of the recent contest, and he has been
otherwise distinguished in Shenandoah and
elsewhere because of his straightforward and
honest course. The Office he asks at the hands
of the convention will make the first bone Of
contention that will come up for adjudication
in that body, aud after that is settled it will
be easy to call the names of the other candi-
dates on the ticket.

as it is. In these letters your scribe has to
deal with the facts as he finds them and dish
them up to your readers in the most palatable
style at his command. Rumors and theories
are all discarded, and nothing but solid
political facts shall enter into the discussion
Of the situation on tho eve Of one of the most
important conventions the county has over
known.
First, then, it is apparent from reports re.
ceived here from all parts Of the county that
Hon. Mason Weidman will be nominated for
Judge if the delegates honestly represent the
will of their constituents All he leading
candidates, including some Of those slated by
Chairman Litsch and his coherts, are for
Weidman and prefer that he shall head the
ticket, because he has never been defeated
for office and he is the choice of Governor
Pattison and his cabiuet and because his
nomination would not antagonze any ole
ment in the party which represents anything
and that could be used to make a winning
fight against him, At this writing Mr.. Weld
mau is a winner aud unless the tables are
turned by the Lit ch gang, who want to hit
the Governor direct slap in the face for not
appointing Mr. WadlinRer, the name of Mason
Weidmau for Judge will head the ticket

DHx. HEDI-Ex's LECTURE.
One Of the Rest Ever Given In
ASheYIlIe.

The lecture of DR.. James Hedley, of
Cleveland, Ohio, on The Sunny Side of
Life" in the hall of the Southern Busi-
ness college, last evening is
hardly susceptible Of description
upon paper. 1t was wonderful
IN its eloque nee, charming in it's humOr
and touching in it's pathos, and as a
whole, as nearly perfect as lectures are
made.
Fully one hour and a half was con-
sumed in it's delivery. yet there was not
the first sign of weariness manifested by
the audience; but on the contrary. the
intensest interest was shown through
out the whole discourse.
Prof. Lemmond has the thanks of
every person present for this almost I'M
rivaled treat.
The audience was good, but the Grand
opera house is not large enough to hold
the crowd that should have been pres
ent to listen to such an effort.
The next lecture OF the series will be
given on the evening of February Fl
and the hall should be crowded, to hear
Col. Copeland on "Snobs and Snobbery,' -
as he ranks among the very best of Ice
turerQ.

Evening.
The concert by the New York Stars
will occur at the Grand opera house this
evening, beginning at $50. These
artists come highly recommended by
press and public everywhere, and will no
doubt give Asheville thoroughly en-
joyable concert. This comment is taken
from t he Indianapolis. Ind, Journal:
Miss Flora Drescher. the violin soloist,
takes leadership among American ladies
WIN have chosen the violin. Her execu-
ton is marvellous, and there is to be
noticed in her playing dellcacy OF
grace and movement. Dewey Haywood,
tlutiSt, takes first rank. His rendition
OF Come Back to Erin with variations,
took in the whole compass of his instru-
| ment. There was not to be discovered a
fa1sity in the beautiful theme of the old
Irish melody nor in the quick bird like
trillS that composed the variations"
The Spartanburg Herald says of the
concert given there Monday evening:
Dewey Heywood's New York Stars
gave most delightful performance at
the opera house last night. The music
was excellent and the representations OF
Mr.. Eaton provoked round after round
of laughter. AS 'Widder Green and
Josiah Aliens Wife he showed wonder
full talent. while in the last act. the inn
pcrsonation of a prima donna, his
falsetto voice was truly wonderful.
Each member of the company is an
artist in his or her line and the audience
showed its appreciation by numerous
hearty encOreS.'

For More yinx-Brick, Rub

The committee appointed from the
Joint Board to investigate and make
recommendations as to streets in the
city that should be paved, together with
the character of paving, has made up its
report, and will submit it to the Joint
Board at the regular meeting next Fri
day afternoon.
The committee recommends the follow
ing streets to be paved with brick:
Haywood street from Patton avenue
cast to Patton avenue west.
Montford avenue from Haywood to
West Chestnut.
Chestnut street from North Main to
White Pine.
The following streets are named for
rubble paving, the same as that put
down on Buxton street:
ia College street from north court place
to Haywood, the street in rear of the
government building, Willow, Water,
Walnut. Oak. Woodhn from Oak to
Charlotte, Charlotte from Woodtin 70
Chestnut, Sycamore from South Main to
Valley, Valley from Sycamore to South
Main, Spruce from College to Eagle,
Eagle from South Main to Spruce, Hay
wood from Patton avenue west to
Buxton, Central avenue, + ilcy from
Patton avenue to Phillips, Ali -. French
Broad avenue from Haywood to lips.
The folio owing streets are recommended
for macadamizing:
Woodfin from North Main to White
Pine (except that portion between Oak
and Charlotte), Bailey from Phillips to
the graded school, Starnes avenue, Flint,
Cherry, Grove. Orange, Spruce from
Woodfin to College. A recommendation n
to repair the macadam on the eastern
portion of College street is also made.
The report is signed by Aldermen
Starnes and Waddell and Advisors Hunt
and Bearden. The committee requests
the proper owners on the streets included
in the report to consider the matter, and
if there be any objections to The manner
of paving, that they be made at the
lheeting next Friday, when they will be
considered.
Alderman Starnes tells THE CITIzEN
that he is satisfied the paving con
templated in the report can be done
with that portion of the appropriation
yet unexpended. On these streets there
will be very little grading and widening
and, therefore. there will be little dam
age to pay. The latter feature has beer
very expensive one in the work prose
cuted thus far.

In an account of the death of Orange
Bennett in Richmond, the Times, of that

"Mr. Bennett was we'll and favorably
known for his staunch devotion to prin-

GENEROUS impulses, and gave freely of his
means during the war to those less fort
