cases of special importance will be tried
except the rape cases, which were moved
to this county from Haywood this
term.
During the intermisson Monday there
was a joint discussion-or rather an ap
pointment for one-bet ween Hon. r. L.
Leatherwood. who was renominated
for the Senate BY the Democrats Of this
district, and DR.. J. M. Gambler, the Re-
publican nominee; but Leatherwood so
completely knocked out the Doctor, that
the latter could hardly be considered in
it at all. The Doctor is no debater, and
cannot even talk logically in a CONVEX
sational way. The people Of the dis.
trict will be slow to turn down an able
representative like Mr. Leatherwood for
man Of the calibre Of Gambler.
Tuesday an immense crowd assembled
to hear Congressman Crawford and
Locke Craig, esq. The Duke had been
specially invited. but was absent and
doubtless trying to recover from the aw-
full drubbing TecumSh h Bill administered
Monday at Hendersonville. Mr.. Craig
spoke first and discussed the tariff and
other questions In mastery way. His
speech was an able exposition of Demo
cratic principles, and was enthusiast
cally received.
When he closed there YVES great ap-
plause and loud cries of "Crawford!" !"
"Crawford!" When our gallant stand

waved their hats and went nearly wild
with enthusiasm. When quiet was res

Straightforward speech which greatly
pleased the people. He said he would
not say anything about the man wanted
to defeat him as he was not present; but
he did show up, with telling effect, the
rotten platform and political principles
of that badly-hacked man who wants to
represent the Western district in Congress.
