EDITOR THE ClTIzEN:-As a friend of

beg to call the attention of the city au-
thorities, and the taxpayers as well, to
the fact that we promised the people
that in the event of hard times and the
inability of the people to pay the assess
ments as they accrued they would be
given indulgence on said assessments
crowded they paid the interest on the
same to meet intere t on bonds.
Now. in the midst of the hardest times
Asheville people ever knew, think the
Board would commit great outrage to
collect the assessments for the reason
that said assessments can only be used
10 paw uteres, on the bonds. Let the
Board collect only the interest and | be-
lieve all differences with the people can
and will be adjusted. Matt Atkinson.

Democrats Brushed Aside for Banoroft.
We congratulate Samuel Bancroft, Jr.,
upon 50 binding the party leaders to his
imperfections as to secure the Demo-
cratic Congressional nomination It is
to rs matter Of regret that we have
moi enough faith in his Democracy to
support him. TO do so would be unfair
to ourselves, to our readers. and to our
party
The newspaper which blows hot and
cold TO lbs readers cannot retain their
confidence and respect. Before the nomi
nation was made we stated, openly and
above board and in unmiatakable terms
that we did not believe linn to be a
Democrat and would not support him II
nominated He was nominated, although
the first choice Of only handful Of New
Castle county delegates who owed their
election to the party leaders. The men
who are responsible for bis nomination
will have to be responsible for his victory
or defeat We do not envy them their
position.
Our stand in this matter may be
criticised as being undemocratie. To
such critics we say that the EVENING
JOURNAL Is too Democratic to support
man who, while personally unobjec
tionable, IS, in the opinion Of three
fourths Of the Democrats Of the state
low.tariff Republican, who would still
have occupied place in the Republican
party had he succeeded In getting the
coveted preferments IN tn at party.
We say to them that we cannot
support a man who has excluded such
men az Handy, Cooch, Whiteman and
Cochran, who have fought the party's
battles and contributed to it's success.
while be has remained passive specta :
tor. It win be twelve years before tho
rule o. rotation will bring the honor to
New Castle county again. .and these men
who have given time and talent to the
pfrty are unceremoniously brushed
aside BY the party managers and told to
stand there for twelve years, in order TO
fiji the measure Of Mr. Bancroft's per
