their homes and do their duty. He spoke
OF vance, great appalusel said he thought
ne knew the great heart of Zebulon B.
Vance and what interest he felt in the
Democratic party, and that if he were
here to- day he believed he would en-
dorse the action in regard to the Sena-
OF whom the people of North Carolina
with one accord say:
The monarch may forget the crown
at mat on his head so late hath been,
Inc bridegroom may forget the b1ide
w Mas made his own but yester cen.
Inc mother may forget the babe
mat smiles so sweetly on her knee,
but forget thee, will we ne'er Zeb Vance
And all that thou hast done for me-
do otherwise than endorse these reso-
lutlOns, SO just, so Democratic?
Mr.. A. G. Green.
Mr.. A. @. Green came forward and
made ringing, thrilling and telling
speech. 1IIe shook the platform and al
most made the whole building tremble
by the intensity of his words and senti-
ments, and certainly he drove home some
important truths concerning the abso-
lutte necessity Of Democratic supremacy.
He confessed that he had hoped that the
Republican party, when it came into
power in the country, would afford the
people some relief ''but" be said vehem-
emily and emphatically, "the greater
success they have, the greater is their
oppression of the people," He spoke Of
SENATOR VANCE. He said there was no
necessity for an endorsement of Vance
by the county conventions and meetings
of this State. The people knew him and
loved him. He was their great, their
true friend. He stood forth to-day A
| GREATER AND BIGGER MAN THAN EVERY
OTHER MAN IN NORTH CAROLINA PUT TO
GETHER, and his people would find their
greatest joy and rallying to him. He
deplored the fact that an impression had
gotten abroad to the effect that the
| farmers were trying to defeat Vance
He denied it phatically and vigorous
ly. They harbored no such intention.
| They favored no such idea.
| The other candidates who spoke were
Messrs. S. NJ. Dunn, Ferrell and Up
church.

Harmony and Peace.
The utmost harmony and peace pre-
vailed in the convention. There was d
disputation. So large body of mel
never before worked together with s.
little friction. OF course delegates yell
ed for and worked for their favorltes
but it was with generosity to the favorit
ism of others, and when nomination
were effected by majority votes, they wer
always made unanimous.
It looks very much like the Democrac
Of Wake county will be as solid as

Yong Men in the Convention.
One thing which struck and gratifie
and even delighted the members of tn
convention was the activity and interes
shown by the young men of the party

thrilling speeches were made by youn

impression on the convention; and Free

Mr.. Merritt's speech particularly ir
Q pressed the convention and led one
the most prominent and infuenti

and after being nominated, he can
d within a very few votes of securing Il
