| He was enthusiastically cheered all through
the speech, and was followed by Ex-Judge
| Bond and D. n. Henning, both of whom con-
graduated the convention and bestowed high
praise upon the nominee. Judge Bond said
| that DIR. Herring was man who would grace
any position in the gift of the people; that fac
ton had been buried in his nomination, and
upon the mound over the grave of past differ
ences DIR. Herring had been placed and he
was the great captain that would lead the
united hosts of Democracy to victory.
Mr.. Henning said that DIR. Herring was Il
true Democrat. A few years ago, when Il
! nomination was equivalent to an election, he
had personally impOrtuncd DIR. Herring to be-
come a candidate for the Senate, but that he de-
clned, being content to be Il worker for the
party rather than seek public position. ''Now,
said Mr.. Henning. when the party has suf-
tered temporary defeat with a triumphant
Republican party to face, DIR. Herring, at the
call of the party, has come forward and ac-
cepted the leadership, which shows him to
be man of courage, true party man, and
| he is therefore entitled to the earnest support
Of every Democrat in the county. And with
a united and cordial support, he will carry
the banner of Democracy to victory"
