The AsheriIle Gzxrsse~Sews. IN Its
Issne OF January 18th. publishes .
letter under big head
lines beginaIng a. follows: is Find
Ing Out About ButIer-PresIdent
Seems Pretty Well Convinced That
His Domination Has Hurt Party"
This Washington letter is signed
w. A. H." which indicates that IT.
was written by the small bore and
partisan editor named Hildebran.
This fellow Hlldebran and his paper
is the organ of the old referee ma
chine. or what Is left Of IL. which
aid what IL could TO prevent Repub-
lican growth and success IN the last
and which then and since
has had every appearance Of being In
a conspiracy 10 help Democrats and
hurt the Republican party. The
letter referred TO begins
as follows:
while Congressman Cogles
vas al the White House yester-
day afternoon, he showed the
President newspapers contain
ing Raleigh dispatches showing
that the Legislature had thank
ed the Governor OF Rhode Island
III tra1
ceptance of the bonds offered
his State by Marion Butler. The
President Is said TO be pretty
we'll convinced that Buffers do
minating influence in the party's
councils has hurt his party. The
relation between Morehead and
Butler is still intimate, how
ever. and ii is TO this fact that
many persons attribute the fall
ure of the President to reeog-
nize the Morehead faction to any
great extent.
The newspapers which Congress
man Cowles is reported to have TAX
en- to the President were, no doubt
the Raleigh News and Observer
which is dirty lying sheet. and the
most partisan and unfair paper to the
Republican party in the State. Mr.
.Cowles may, of course, have takeI
copies of the Asheville Gazette-New:
also, for that paper publishes or re
publishes every miserable false Dem
ocratic statement circulated to dam
age the Republican party. The pres
emit false and malicious article which
the editor of that paper now pub
fishes is, no doubt, prepared in orde1
to arm Mr.. Cowles with anothe
newspaper to take to the White
House.
IL Mr.. Cowles is now engaged il
the business of fighting the State or
ganization, and also in trying t.
make it appear that Marion Butte
hurt the Republican party in the las
campaign, then it would be we'll 70
"a few facts to be brought to the at
Etention of the President. In the frs
place, Mr.. Cowles is in the onl
normal Republican District in tn
State, and he had to throw away
majority of over 1,400 in order t
beat himself. Every one knows tina
| it was Cowles' conduct in his owl
District that cost him large part o
the votes which he lost, if not all o
them. There is not another candi
date who ran for Congress in tn
State who would have been beaten
he had been running in Mr.. Cowles
District.

trict, Mr.. Buffers home, the Reput
lican party did not lose votes, blu
there made. gains nearly as large a
Mr.. Cowles' losses. The political cor
ditions following the war and recon
struction are such that it is sti
harder to make Republican gains i
