Pearson's Politics.

Judge r.. ID. Carter, who failed to re-
ceive the nomination for judge of the
Superior court for the Twelfth district
gave to the Asheville Citizen for publ
cation the following explanation Of his
defeat.
My failure to get that nomination
was so surprising TO my friends, SC
shocking to their senses of justice. SO
contrary to good precedent, and such
an outrage upon me personally, that
feel | am due the public, as well ms my
friends, some explanation. | desire to
say, therefore, that the arguments most
strongly urged against my nomination
and which undoubtedly brought about
my defeat, were these:
Il. That / had not been in the Re
publican party long enough to entitlt
me to such an honor; that | had joined
the party originally only for office and
that | was not yet eligible to hold one
not having served long enough period
on probation. The friends of Mr.. Hen
bricks, who made this argument against
me, ] supposed had forgotten for the
time that the present distinguished con
sui general of the United States to
Panama had been a Republican only
ed to that responsible office; and that
even Mr.. Pearson's first specific an
nouncement of his allegiance to the Re
publican party was made in his speech
accepting the Republican nomination
for Congress in the opera house in
Asheville on the 18th OF April, 1896,
nearly year after l joined the party.
They had forgotten Of course that
when he was elected to Congress III 1894
he had his politics i'll his hat. and that
just what kind Of politics he was carry
ing around in his hat in that most re-
markable campaign. he was never good
enough to state with sufficient clear
ness to be understood. / had been a
Republican, an active member of the
Republican party for three years and
four months, lacking seven days, when
| asked to be made the Republican
nominee for judge of the Twelfth dis
trict.

ty: that Buncombe having the candidate
for Congress and the collector Of inter
nal revenue. should not also have the
candidate for judge; that Madison coun
ty was entitled to both the candidate
for Judge and the candidate for solicitor
but upon exactly what ground qua moi
clearly appear; / suppose it was because
she already has the United States Sena
tor, and Federal pie-eatens in general
to the amount of several thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Thomas Rollins, who seemed
to be the leader of the Hendricks forces
in the convention, told me that the argu
ments that told most strongly against
me were that | was new Republican
and that / hailed from Buncombe, both
of which facts, to the minds of the far
seeing politicians who would have voted
against my nomination had / allowed
my name TO 20 before the convention
were objectionable offences.

Washington, ID. c., Sept S.-(Special.)
I am informed tonight that it is the
plan of Colonel Hccker, chief of the
Transportation Department, to establish
depot at Cape Hatteras, whence en-
barkati0ns to Porto Rico and Cuba will
be made. This point has been chosen
seemingly because of its convenience and
location. 1t is not too far South nor
too far North, and is considered good
point ut which our troops in camps may
be localized. The movement of troops
WI lie necessary because of the PLAZA
not to keep the men in Porto Rico and
Cuba too Iorg. They will not be sub
ie,ted too long to the trying climate.
The transports have been ordered from
Cuba, and Secretary Alger said 70 me
to-day that the reason of this was to
bring them to this country and let them
80 out of charter. The government al
ready owns twelve transports on the At
lantic coast and two on the Pacific.
These twelve, it is thought, will be
enough to movei the troops when necos-
sary. Secretary Alger said to me that
the transports ordered from Cuba would
not be needed for carrying the troops to
Cuba. They could be we'll taken care
of by our own transports.
He said also, as to the transport
Comal, now in Havana harbor, laden
with food supplies that it had been de-
cided to pay the duty demanded by the
Spaniards and send the supplies in to
be distributed "by American officers. -
according to the act, rather than accept
the other proposition to send the vessel
in free and distribute the food conjoint-
ly with the Spanish authorities.
