every true Democrat in North Carolina.
Pleased is hardly the term to Use in
describing the feeling of every one of the
thousand and more delegates and alter

the largest. most representative and alto

the STATE OF North Carolina. whose ses-
sion i'll this city last Wednesday and
Thursday lasted with the brief interInis-
sion OF one hour nearly 30 hours. finally
adiourning at late breakfast time on
Thursday morning.
The work OF the convention was mag
niticently done. The platform OF the
party adopted reads Ike an inspired one.
The candidates named for the several
offices 10 be filed represent the best
brains and blood and Drawn in our
grand and dear old Commonwealth.

and its prospects of success have not been
