The Night Session.

The convention met shortly before 8
o'clock after supper, and the coats dis
appeared, shirt sleeves and shirt waists
making their appearance, and at once a
resolution was carried with a whirl to
finish nominating the candidates before
taking UP the platform, and T. G. Skin
ner gave notice that a resolution pro-
viding for primaries for United States
Senator would be later introduced, and
this provoked lively discussion for and
against the plan. c. w. Tillet, of Char
lotto, being recognized proceeded in a
vigorous speech to place in nomination
for Associate Justice, Platt d. Walker,
of Charlotte. He was loudly cheered
and said in part:
Il come to this convention today with
a message from the men of Mecklenburg.
1t has been said by some that the people
of that grand old county have not agreed
about anything from the Declaration OF
independence of 1775 to the Oath Bound
Primary of 1902. But l am here to tell
you that there is one thing about which
they have come together with unanmity
and enthusiasm, and the matter about
which they have agreed is this: that as
one of the Associate Justices of the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina this con-
Vention ought to nominate Platt d. Wal
kcr, of Mecklenburg. You have heard
that there have been differences in the
Democratic ranks of that county and I
do not deny it; but I am here to tell
you that on this one subject all fac
lions of the party have not only agreed,
but have been vieing with one another
with or5Or buSiaS and nffOrtS
Tor its accomplishment. And so l come

Democrats of Mecklenburg, one and all,

BROWN IS NOMINATED.

Ed s. Abell of Johnston county, placed
in nomination Judge Geo. H. Brown, of
Beaufort county. Mr.. Abel made a
splendid presentation of the virtues of
his candidate. He referred with pride
to the fact that Judge Browns six years
legal and mental training eminently fitted
him for the high honor He said:
Judge Browns friends were conscious
of the fact that he was not the only
pebble on the beach, but he was big,
round and smooth, and that as citizen
he was without spot or stain. That the
people of Eastern North Carolina love
him, and the State owes it to him that
he be nominated
Sheriff ]. T. Ellington, OF Johnston
county seconded the nomination of
Judge Conner, stating as he was not a
lawyer he could not speak of his legal
attachments, but said he: "As an officer,
l know him. Under his courts there was
never an exhibition of judicial temper
or judicial big headiness-a quality come
to North Carolina In late years"
Hon. Thos G.. Skinner, of Perquimans,
seconded the nomination of Judge Brown.
Mr.. Skinner is an experienced speaker
of ability. He began by complimenting
the convention and in persOnel, it de-
served every word and more than he
said. His tribute to Mr.. Brown and his
plea for him was most creditable. Col.
w. H. Lucas, of Hyde, the eX-Shellfish
Commissioner, and a veteran of many
political conflicts, also seconded the
nomination of Judge Brown.
Col. Lucas is an unique character. He
held that under the influences of a good
State administration and the hand of
providence, old Hyde has the finest corn
crop she ever had, and he believed in
the Carolina precedent, that the horse
that pulls the pillow should have the
fodder. He urged by right of service the
nomination belonged to Judge Brown.
Geo. P. Pcll, of Ash county, also second
ed the nomination of Judge Conner in
strong speech, and Hon. Walter e.
Moore, of Jackson, closed with last
and earnest word for Judge Brown.

NOMINATION OF CONNOR.

The convention then proceeded to hear
nominations for Associate Justice, and
Mr.. Victor S. B. Ryan, of Durham, came
forward and placed in nomination the
name of Henry Groves Connor, of VII
son. as a man worthy in every particular
of the confidence and support of every
citizen of North Carolina. He stated
that his 10-years service as judge fitted
him for the duties of the Supreme court
bench. In the chair he was charming,
gentle, lovable as a woman. If placed
on the Supreme bench his record there
would make Carolinians the world over
feel proud. His tribute to the man
Conner, born of honest but humble pa
rents, self educated, the support of his
mother and family upon his shoulders
before he had reached manhood's estate
was touching and beautiful. Mr. Bryant
is an orator.
