Last evening a mass meeting of citi
Zens was held at o'clock as mark of
respect to Senator Vance. Governor Carr

Senator Vance as a man whose name
was deeply set in the hearts of North

an admirable speech, saying he perhaps
knew more of Senator Vance's inner life
than any other man in the state. He
termed him North Carolina's loyal son,
whose love for this state was surpassed
by that Of no man, and declared his hold
stronger than that of any man in this
generation: The secret of his unbounded
popularity was this: Vance never asked
whether any matter would affect him,
but whether it affected the vital interests
of the people of North Carolina. That
