And it was a coincidence worthy of note that the fpllowing tribute (kindred In spirit), to Col.

" t Speaking of slates, was there ever such I. slate-making as was witnessed at the ' ' Republican gathering in Raleigh last week? The Aebeville Citizen headed its accounts of the convention "Pritchard, Pritchard, Pritchard," in every line, and it gate a good idea of the affair The ' Greensboro Record says: The Republi , can ticket was known . in Greensboro, from governor down, before the nomina ' tions were completed. Parties who came up on th evening train had itall straight , when, as a matter of fact, not a single nomination had been made when they left Raleigh at 8:50 in the afternoon,' ' There never have been In4 our history 1 fwo parties so completely bossed as the .
