The -contest for Geni Ransom's seat
in the United States Senate will be
quite "a warm one, end.' the resnlt is
uncertain. The aspirants for said
office exir numerous, either of whom
will grace the poaition. Senator
Ransom and Col. Alfred M. Waddell
are in the lead, and one of the two is
almost certain of election. I
Of all the competitors, we favor
Col. Waddell. first, last and all the
time. He is not an untried publio
man; he has represented the 3d Dis
trict in Congress- for i several years,
ably and acceptably, and North Caro
lina nerer had a representatire at the
National Capital who more jealously
guarded her interests and her honor
than did this distinguished soni! His
useful career in the House (reflected
credit on the State. And no man in
the State has vorked more zealously
for the domination of 1 democracy,. or
isi stronger in his derotion to the
rty of which he has' erer been . an
nored member and for many years
leader: " L " -
Our chief reason for opposing Ran
som is that he .has been in the 'Posi
tion long' enough, harihg served the
Slate in the aacie' capacity eontinu
ottsly for eighteen years-f And it is said
that tod much p'ublic life tends to
corrupt ! the best of men. ' And Col
Waddell is a man whose' ability equals
-if toot exceeds that of General Ran
som. North Carolina will do Well to
elect Col. Waddell to this honorable
position. We hope and believe our
county representative i will vote for
him. Carthage Blade. j

The Landmark's' article last i week
about the Senatorship fared badly at
the hands of the brethren, j The
Raleigh Nxws akd OBSxsrxB made ns
say that Mr. Frank I-s Osborne, ' of
Mecklenburg, (ha3 twice the ability
and general fitness of the gentlemen
who are being boomed for Senator,"
whereas; we. said he had twice' as
mnch of these as"some of the gen
tlemen," etc ; It would appear! from
the way in which our Raleigh contem
porary quotes us that we are for Os
borne against the field. And on the
other hand the .Charlotte Chronicle,
by clipping off the last paragraph of
the article, in which our preference
is clearly indicated, represents us as'
fori the I field against i RansomJ We
are for Ransom a-rainst'the field, and
in !riew of the liberties ) the brethren
took with tu last week would it be
asking too much of them to request

Some of our contemporaries seem
to be laboring under the impression
that. Cap t. Alexander will not permit
his hame to be used in connection
with the United States Senatorship,
except in the contingency of a sort of
scrub race. jThis, wo are sort is a
total misrepresentation;! of the situ
ation, and is, in -fact, not justified by.
anything Capt. Alexander has said.
And besides it so happens that Oajpt.
Alexander is not exclusirely his oirn
property in this ' ihstahee. The peo-
Ele.hare an' interest ; end it is well
no wn that he is the choioe of not
only a large number of the people all
brer the State, but the choioe, the
