Democratic leader, said:

is "A student, a scholar and an orator.

Mr.. Henry's speech on Friday, was
Il powerful and effective one. Full of
zeal, thoroughly posted and thrillingly
| eloquent, he is one of he most brilliant
| Canvasscrs of the State.-IIenry BlOunt
in Wilson Mirror.
For earnestness, power, eloquence
and logic, the speech of Mr.. X. Henry
at Halifax was simply grand, and
| places him by the side of North Caro-
iina's greatest orators.-Dr. Geo. f.
Matt in Henderson Gold Leaf.
After Henry's first speech in Scot
land Neck there was universal and
enthusiastic demand for his return
Arrangement was made for the 10Th OF
October. On that day he arose before al
audience of about six thousand and
said: This Is the prOudest day of my
life.' He had reason for feeling SO, fOl
it was the grandest demonstration
made III the state, except the one il
honor of stevenson at Winston. Fol
three hours Henry spoke with an elo
queuce that rivals that of any man W h,
has ever graced the hustings in Nortf
Carolina. 1t was a great speech anC
met every demand of the magnificen,
demons stratiOn.-Hon. f. f.. HiIliard il
the Democrat.
OF my speech in Winston in 1S9;
the Sentinel said:
| Henry's speech was gem of logic il
a golden setting of conviction. III,
spoke three hours in the opera hOus
to Il very large crowd. He is an i'm
mense man physically and mentally
There is probably not more IOglca
and eloquent speaker on the Demo
cratic stump in this campaign. PrOmi

Henry to offer their congratulations.

Observer, said editorially in March
1898:

tiOn of Consul General at Rio. MI
Henry deserves well at the hands O
the Democratic party in North Caro-
lima and of the new administration
; He is a man of unusual ability, of grea
powers, of high character, and an in

who did such valiant service during tn
