probable the office will be kept in Asheville, and we feel confident Mr.
Tilson is well qualified for the position. He is well known to almost
every democrat in the district, and all can testify to his loyalty to
the Democratic party. He is 34 years old and has never asked for office
before, but has always contributed his mite and influence to the success
of the party whenever opportunity presented. We earnestly hope he may be
successful.
