GEN. !. f. STEVENSON.

The Chicago convention did wise
,aing when It nominated Gen. Adlai
!. Stevens II for Vice President. It's
tion was arplaudcd at the time by
'.o>c who new what manner of man
&. vas and realized the strength his
llmc wouI! add to the ticket; and
tie whole country sees and admits 1t
I'Jw since the election.
As CIeycland's First Assistant Post
.N1ster General he made record as
, popular I'd efficient officer second
r,none. lie proved himself to be
rminenlly he right man for that posi-
ton and the number OF official heads
lat were cnopped off by him showed
;Gat while &c was not Il spokesman he
was partisan of the right sort and
@lieyed W ere a good Democrat could
Lc found t. fill an office with equal
;cceptance and due regard to the
public welfare as member of the OPP
position p.rty, he should be. put in
whenever r0ssible.
His ack owledged ability, his clean
.cCOrd arI the confidence in his
thorough Democracy made Gen.
Stevenson IN available man and his
lame added tower Of strength to
,le ticket. For this the party is IN
Cited to he North Carolina delega-
on who voted for him for first place.
In this way he was brought promi-
entity forward and It was but the
4atural as well as the best thing to do
seemed 10 nominate him for Vice
President. The result in his own
ate, Illinois shows the wisdom OF
lch choice. We do not believe any
cher man could have overcome 49,
% Republican majority in that State
I'D placed it in the Democratic
QUINN with a majority of 27,5oc
shind it, Md the general result in
me of til other Western States, w
eiievc tn, candidacy OF -Adlai +
-,1veson hid no little to DO with.
North Carolina, whose distinguished
rand son re is, rejoices exceedingly
his election. Thousands of ou
cDplc who SAW and heard him during
lis trump mt tour through this STATE
Ia more than party interest in the
ourteous, lfable gentleman. People
we're !mpl> sed by the manner of tht
.1n. H acknowledged ability, hi
ignllied earring, genial nature anc
"ppToachaulc disposition made friend
of Ill who came in contact with hin
and created blaze of enthusiasm 70
ne whole .cket wherever he went.
We have it from those whose per
onal ex, erience qualities them t
leak tina, sen. Stevenson was tn
very soul ii a courteous, Considerate
2a,ient an i respectful official as Fir.
Assistant ] 0stmaster-G General. He wa
Teyer too busy to give an audienc
y persons who had business with him
n his ol,cial capacity he regarde'
himself as one of the trustees of tn
'cople, az he was always ready t
ear and consider the claims of thoS
who applied to him. He was tn
anne plan, straightforward, unassum
ng business man that his clients kne,
lin 10 be n his law Office in Bloom
-ngtOn, AMI as Vice President of III
nlted States, he will not be changed
Dut his new office will not bring hir
D closely Il contact with office seeker
nd Office holders who have bushes
I WashiE ton, whereat there will b
esret, VIII le they may find consola
on in th1 fact that he has been ele
ated TO higher, more honorable an,
lgnified POSITION where his brllian
ttainmen's and worthy accomplish
.lents will shed additional lustre upo,
le country.
