MOTIVATION OF CLARK.
Asheyilie Citizen.

Asheville Citizen.
Having failed, In straight, bold
fight to compass Judge Clark's de-
feat, his. enemies may now be ex-
pected to seek to do by indirection
that which they were. unable to do di-
rectly.
Already,.we.h have called attention to
the effort that was being made in
some sections to prevent instructions
for Clark, even though the sentiment
of the convention was strongly for
him. That failing also, we may now
look fer a concert of effort on the
part of Republican and assistant ke-
publican papers to recruit this crowd
of prospective boilers.
TO this end they will talk long and
loud about the Machine and its pow
er, how it has refused to listen TO
reason or needed the protest of con-
servative men in the party, how the
managers of it have guaranteed to
Judge Clark the nomination and are
going to give it to him regardless of
consequences. All of which, to
man of sense, is the veriest rot, but
it is lust now the Radicals only stock
in trade.
The Democratic party is no Machine
in the sense meant by these news
papers, nor has its leaders promised
the nomination to Judge Clark. If
he is nominated it will he by virtue
OF instructions delivered by the peo-
pie to their delegates in primary and
county conventions. Machine noml-
nations are not made in that way, as
those familiar with Republican poll
ties in North Carolina can testify.
The protest against Judge Clark
has had the fullest and fairest hear
ing. Not only have the Republican
papers published such charges as
have been brought against him, but
the Democratic papers have done So
as we'll, together with all that his ac-
cusers could urge in support OF their
charges. The Democratic papers
have also published the defense made
by Judge Clark and his friends. On
these facts the people. acting as
jury, have made up their verdict and
are now almost daily expressing it in
their conventions in the form o1
unanimous instructions for Walter
Clark for Chief Justice of the Supreme
| Court.
If this is Machine rule let them
make the most of it.

WAITS.

With faces lined too soon with care
They glide along the street;
A scared look in the eyes that stare
Into the eyes they meet,
AS if they would apologize
For bringing to the earth
The disc0rd of their sobs and sighs
That chill the soul of mirth.
Those little faces lined with care;
Those little shOeless feet
That shiver in the frosty air;
Those wistful eyes l meet
They haunt me through the day
And cont to me at night
When home l watch my own at play,
SO glad of heart and bright.
Thou, Father of the fatherless.
Watch Or them all the way.
Through all life's periis guide and bless
The little ones, we pray,
Who early face the orphans woe
And want while others waste.
The world is kind at heart-but oh!
SO thOughtle-S in its haste.
My needs are small; ask not wealth,
And less care for fame.
The one lich boon | crave is health
And strength of mind and frame,
That with deeds of love may gem
The childhood Of my own,
And stand between the world and them
Till they can stand alone.

work of newspaper making that has been
of great service to me since.
Later on Walach was persuaded to en-

timore Sun in Washington. This led to
work in other departments OF the paper,
and in couple of years I had become
sort of general utility man, assistant editor,
reporter and what not, at the salary of ST.
per week.
Walach did not get on well with Hope
and in March, 1879, the partnership was
dissolved and Wallach purchased Hopes
interest in the paper.
Walach at that early day was bitten with
the idea of being a gentleman farmer. He
owned a little farm across the river in a
neighborhood called "Cooney." near Airing
ton, and he divided his attention between
The Star and the farm much to the detri-
ment of the former. He was exceedingly
parsimonious in regard to expenditures for
the paper but ungrudging in outlay for
farming implements and fertilizers. In
consequence he undertook to run The Star
with a small force and on small pay.
Bright capable men, like Ben: Perley
Poore, S V. Moves, Oscar Harris and
James O. Clephane, after brief service on
the paper left it to take better paid
ployment. There We're times when Wallach
and myself and a local reporter, named Bill
Tucker, composed the whole editorial and
reportorial force upon The Star Bill
Tucker was not very much of a reporter at
best and he was subject to epileptic fits,
which came upon him at the most inoppor-
tune moments. When Walach was away
on his farm and Bill Tucker had fits, | used
to have some pretty busy days. My work

ZACH sold it and bought a large plantation
on the eastern shore of Maryland. near
Cambridge. There was a fine old mansion
house on the place, with spacious rooms
and wide central hall. Here he had an
opportunity to farm on big scale and to
entertain his friends handsomely, accord
ing to his hospitable wont Secretary
Seward, who had a great regard for Wal
ZACH, was one of the guests he entertained
most royalty. On the outbreak of the civil
Wallach took the Union side and up
held it with stanch visor throughout the
contest, though he imperiled thereby his
large property interests in Virginia. The
great value of his support of the Union
cause was thoroughly appreciated by the
government, and especially by Secretaries
Seward and Stanton who had occasion to
know more particularly the Importance of
his services, both in The Star and through
his intimate knowledge of men and affairs
in Maryland and Virginia, and of the
topography of all the surrounding country
Wallach, impatient of the poor results
from ordinary Maryland farming, consist
ing mainly of a crop of corn, converted his
plantation into large fruit farm, and then,
as there mode of conveying the
perishable products seasonably to the Bal
timore markets, he bought a steamboat and
undertook to superintend the freghting,
sale and delivery of his produce at Balti-

steamboating or marketing produce and
the enterprise not profitable. To make
matters worse, on one of his trips he got

The construction of the stately Calvary

Gather Richie"

In 1915 the opening of Folks admins
tration the Polk men wanted to establish
administration organ more in sympathy
with their wing of the party than the
Globe, which had worked actively in
the interest of Van Buren's candidacy for
the presidency.
Accordingly Thomas Richie, the veteran
editor of the Richmond Enquirer who had
been ardent supporter of Polk against
Van Buren,; and John P. Heiss, editor of the
Nashville Union, the home organ of Polk,
were brought to Washington and put in
control of a new administration organ,
named The Union, intended to afford vigor-
Gus support to the Administration.
This was a colossal blunder. Richie, who
forty years. had a great reputation a
political writer, but he proved to be a VERT
able feather weight in fitness to fill the
place of such muscular political sluggers
as Francis p. Blair and Amos Kendall. His
style was of the feeble-forcible sort and was
full of mannerisms. He was fond of CLASH
cal illusions and quotations. and he got the
title of odd Nous Verrons'' from his habit
of ending his editorials with this French
phrase.
