T. LEOBAOT). - Mr. ' CAairntan and FeUow Delegates: i I desire to present to the consideration ot this Convention the choosing of a gentleman who,-not only has never been false to a friend, but always true to the best interests of his country's about whose ability to carry this District by 3,000 majority,' no doubt will be or can be seriously entertained. , .A man whose loyalty to his party is above all suspicion, whose name is the synonym of the best elements Of Democracy and an in-; vincible ' argument against Radicalism; whose history; as soldier, : biwyer, . judge,' legislator and patriot, will be a sound plat form upon which all honest men can stand; ' and whose record in private and public life will enthuse and strengthen the great canse of Democracy throughout the length' and breadth iof this District II' desire to name you a man, sir, who is the soul of honor; whose honesty and ' integrity - have L never been, questioned ; who is the known enemy or corruption ; into whose ears the foul breath of the lobbyist at Washington" has never whispered, and whose career in the Legislature and Constitutional Convention signalized the entrance iand marked the 4eadership . of the young De mocracy in the politics of our State. I de sire to point you to a man who, while yet a boy, "won his spurs upon the , tented field," impressed his genius and ability on the statute books of North Carolina, and breathed his very spirit into our organic law the constitution itself by the heroic suffering of s its patriotic victim. -, A man, Who, as judge, "held Tiigh, the scales," meeted out speedy and impartial justice to all men, won the entire respect and confi dence of the bar, and preserved unsullied, and Untarnished the ermine of the bench.' A man who laid aside the judicial ,tega, conferred upon Mm some years ago upon tills identical spot, by one of the largest judicial conventions ever held in this State, upon the unanimous demand of the De mocracy in convention at Raleigh as sembled ; and, by his - herculean . efforts eliminated the .most troublesome ques tion ever j lugged into 1 politics, ; and which ; threatened it sore disaster to our .party; f restored . confidence to our faltering . ranks, and t drove . Radicalism under its wily leader and former organiza tion, forever from old North Carolina! If asked, therefore, who is my candidate, and whence he hails, I answer, not only from the good old county of Anson, which un der his magnificent leadership has been rescued from 300 Republican to 700 Demo cratic majority, but -from the whole State of North Carolina at large,' and R. T. Ben nett ia his name. ! We ask the nomination, hot solely upon tne - grounds once universally, if not im pliedly conceded, that . if elected in that contest higher honors awaited him at the hands of his party, nor upon the still high er grounds that our party is under obliga tion to him for. his brilliant-services in the past ; nor do 1 we - rely for his nomination upon the unwritten law, or custom which has prevailed in this District, that when a candidate is once elected a member of Con gress, and during his first term behaves hjmself and discharges faithfully and fear lessly his duties, he is entitled by said cus tom to another term. But upon higher and more loyal grounds do we urge upon this Convention the nomination of 'Judge Ben? nett It ia because, sir, in, our opinion, possessing as he does all those essential elements of true manliness and courage of which heroes and patriots are ' made, ' he would make - the strongest, ablest and most enthusiastic, canvass of any . man in this District. .-.,. t - , - ' ! Standing upon that glorious maxim, Trinciples, not men;" that maxim which has ever been the guiding star of true De mocracy,; and. which; has ever madfr our, party the able and consistent .advocate ot constitutional liberty and of a pure, holiest and economical administration of govern ment, we believe the nomination of Judge Bennett would best promote and advance the great. cause we all haye, at heart; and, .his candidacy woiildj&nrmend itself to the confidence and support of good' and honest men-everywhere. Under his' magnificent leadership victory is ours;' and this, dis trict now; known as the. 'shoe-string dis trict" will be known in all years to come as , the Democratic banner district of this State. Itlatorleal and Selentlfle.
