DAY DECISION \ SURPRISE.
Representative Craig Discusses Matters
Legal and Political.

Legal and Political.
Representative Locke Craig, of Ashe-
Vile is in Raleigh ON legal business.
Mr.. Craig says Mat the lawyers of his
section were not expecting such an opin
ion from the court in the Day case.
They do not understand how any of the
judges could have continued to concur in
the opinion of the court after they had
read Judge Clark's dissenting opinion.
If the opinion of the court he the law of
the land. there is no law in this land,
except that promulgated by the Supreme
court. Instead of being a republic with
three coordinate departments of gov
eminent. the State has become an oil
garchy in which the oligarchs have SUI
premc power. Judge Clark's opinion is
Il great defense of the rights of the
people to govern themselves as c0ntem-
plated by the trainers Of the government.
and places him along with the great
judges that have adorned the history Of
English Jurisprudence He completely
annihilated every position taken by the
court. Our people, of course, are inter-
ested in the Buncombe county clerkship.
but rather expect this case to go as the
Day case went.
Mr. Craig said
THE amendment in our county will
add strength to the Democratic party.
| have talked with a great many people
and have not found n single Democrat
who is not enthusiastically for it. |
have talked with some Republicans who
are for it and understand that some Of
the leading Republicans of the West will
support it. The plan of the Republican
leaders viii be to deceive the people
with the idea that the amendment will
disfranchise the illiterate white people.
AS soon as our people come to know that
no white man will be disfranchised they
are all for the amendment and would
all vote for it if influenced by party pre-
iudice. The election of our municipal
ticket is assured. The opposition will
hardly make a serious fight. Heretofore
the elections in Asheville have been very
close aud have sometimes gone against
the Democrats. Under our present cleo
ton law. which prevents the colonization
of negroes the Republicans seem to have
surrendered.
THE evidence in the Pearson-Craw
ford contest is about closed. Pearson has
made no showing of any merit in his
contest. The Investigation shows that
our election was fair and that Crawford
is beyond question entitled to retain his
seat.
I'm August. 1900. the Ninth district
will give Il large majority for the amend
ment."

And it "does us proud" to have
