VICTORY IS NOW ASSURED.

The Democratic convention which
met in Raleigh Yesterday was the
largest and best convention ever held
in North Carolina. 1t was harmon
ious and enthusiastic convention from
start to finish. IT met the high pub
lie expectation OF the people of the
State, in the platform it adopted and
in the candidates named for the yarl-
Gus places on the ticket. The platform
voices the views of the great body OF
the people of the State.
The candidates are men of ability,
and popularity, representing the diff
ferent sections of the State and com
ing from the various callings.
The convention adjourns too late
for any sketch IF the candidates or
any extended comment.
Itiis enough T.. say today that the
action of the convention is so wise
that it insures the success of the Dem
ocratcs party in The coming election.
