UNITED STATES SENAToR.-The last Tar

that several distinguished North Carolina
ans have been mentioned in connection
with the next U. S. Senatorship. closes
the article in the following compliment

Gen. NJ. W. Ransom
Then, taking it for granted that the
choice for Senator will be limited to those
whose disabilities have been removed, VIC
have no hesitation in saying that General
Matt W. Ransom, of Northampton coun-
ty, is our first choice. There is no man
in the State who has a nobler or more
spotless record. An able and distinguish

W. Ransom N the United States Senate,
the people of North Carolina would rest
secure in the Consciousness that their
rights would be nobiy defended and thcir
honor sacredly guarded.
