n roDraIrro+n C1ll;1- -
nomination of General Carr. because. as
be said, he was we'll qualified. He is a
bright young man ard will be heard
from. He said he was very much
touched by the very eloquent non;nat-
ing speech OF the gentleman from Chat
ham. He believed, he said. in gratitude
in politics. but not gratitude and moth
ing else. Therefore he desired to supple
ment the speech Of Gen London by say
ing that If We nominate General Carr,
it viii be not only an act Of gratitude.
but q wise act. one for the good Of North
Carolina. (Applause.)
He called attention to the fact that
two years ago when General Carr was
in the campaign with the best politician
in the State, he did what no other man
in North Carolina could have done. he
carried 81. 600 votes with him.
f. c, Williams, Of Union. said he con
siderei it a great honor and high privilege

Cyrus b. Watson. Of Forsyth. In poirt
Of ability. Mr.. Watson is the equal Of
any Of the candidates. He is an honest.
true North Carolinian. with his heart
full of love for every citizen of his State.
He drew 4 graphic picture of his can
didate as a boy Of sixteen in the var.
wounded. following the fortunes OF the
Confederacy into the bitter end.
Eloquent reference was made 10 the
time when M. Watson led the forlorn
hope of election TO the governorshiD.
when he said he never shirked a du:y
in his life.
