. Nominations for Senator being declared
in order, Senator H. W.Stubbs.of Marti 11
arose to homitate Senator Ransom. Mr.
Stubbs is a man of ppleudid personal
physique and as an onitor is eloquent
and powerful. lie began with Shake
spoares memorable utterance: "There is
a tide hi the affairs of men which,- taken
at its flow!, leads on to fortune." He
was brilliant in language and 'powerful
in delivery. It may safely be said that a
more beautiful oration of -such short
space was never heard by a North Caro
lina audience. He referred to Senator
Ransom as a soldier, statesman, farmer
and orator. He paid a glowing tribute
to his many virtues, his incalcuablc pub
lic services.' When Mr. Stubbs took his
seat Senator James T. LeGrand, of Rich
mond.! arose to nominate Hon. A. M.
Waddell. Mr. LeGrand neveY speaks
that he does not have the profound at
tention of his audience. He is one of
the strongest men iu the present legislf -
ture and as one of the ablest speakers
lis brief speech last night was 1 a fitting
ribute to the man he championed. He
was eloquent, direct and made a ringing
pecch. j
Mr j J White, of Randolph, then arose
to nominate the Hon S B Alexander
He referred to him as a statesman, a
scholar and a soldier. He paid an elo
quent tribute to his spotless character,
