POLITICS IN THE WEST.
Democratic Prospects Bright in Eighth
and Ninth Districts.

Asheville, n. c., Aug. 1.-(Special)- =
Matters political are now claiming, IN
a large degree, the attention of the
good people in this section. In the
Ninth Congressional district the bat
tle-royal is scheduled to begin soon
between that great commoner, red
headed Joe Adams and "Pa'son," the
Duke of Richmond Hill. The Duke is
no match in a joint discussion with the
honiely son of the mountains, and
will like Roosevelt (not Teddy; but
Willie. / think.1 tap his barrel and kiss
the babies: but Joe Adams will rep
resent the Ninth North Carolina dis
trict in Congress next time, il no un-
foreseen calamity occurs.

took its fight when the news was
flashed to Hickory that the Populists
at St. Louis had endorsed or nomin-
ated Bryan.
COL Windy Bill Henderson is, I
hear, debating as to the adyisability of
standing for Congress in the Seventh
district. He has been a strong silver
man, but the Mckinley platform put
him in such state of mind, that moth
ing short of cathode rays can

Quite majority of Populists and
Democrats favor fusion straight
