The impression universally prevails IN
This section that Governor Carr VIII ap-
point Ex-Governor Thomas J. Jarvis 10
syccecd Senator Vance. Jarvis vas elect
cd Lieutenant Governor when Vance was
elected Governor, in the memorable cam
paicn OF '76. and was Minister to Brazli
during Clevelands first term. lie Is an
avowed candidate 10 succeed senator
Ransom. whose term expires next March,
They are both from the extreme eastern
section Of the State, Governor JARVIS De
ing from Greenvilie. Pitt county, but
il is believed this appointment Will be
nod in order TO give Jarvis the prestige
and power 70 use in his fight on Ransom.
Governors jarvis and Carr are close
nersonal friends, and Jarvis did Carr
great service during the latter 5 CAM
paign. wear before last. The next Legs
lature viii have to elect two senator's
and the coming one will consequently be
one Of the most important ever held III
the State
Senator Vance was the best beloved OF
North Cardinals public men. lie mad d
greater hold on the affections and conf
dence of the people than any man VINO
has ever dominated public sentiment IN
the state. He was IN every sense d
leader. He was our war Governor anu
our greatest peace Governor. The 81
gantic contest between him ana Judge
Settle. and Nance's glorious riumpns anu
reclamation OF the state in &c will never
be forgotten. At this distance from the
living Senator it is impossible to accu-
rateiy euage the power and extent of his
influence, but it can be safely said now
that no man in this or any other genera
ton ever possessed so completely the
confidence Of the people of every class III
North Carolina. lie was great COM
rnoner and the poor mans friend. Every
man In the state to-day bears ueep
sense Of personal bereavement IN 'he
death of "Old Zeb," as all loVed 10 can
him.
