Col. w. Ferney Green, of Franklin:
sThe convention did a fine piece of
work. The structure is solid from the
ground up. And one good feature a.
bout it is that the men we have NOM
mated will stand squarely on the plat
form, for their views accord with the
formal expression of the convention.
The platform is the clearest and ablest
exposition of our principles we have
ever set forth. and all true North Caro-
linians can stand on it. Day broke
and the morning light burst out just
as we had concluded our labors. 1t
seems to me a prophecy of the light
that will dawn for Democracy and the
people next November"

stronger men in the party, and that

irrespective of politics or religion loves
