COL- G LENS'S SPEECH. HON. CLAUDE KITCH1N. Editor. Published Eve; Entered at ike Post-GJjlcs at Scotland Keck, N C . as Second Class Matter. THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1901. a in: a t greexsboro. Oresnsboro knows hew to entertain all kinds of dignified bodies, and it has coma to be the convention city of the State. Two years ago there was wide and generous praise for the magnifi cent entertainment given the Demo cratic couvenuon. Lust wo ok m the entertainment c the Democratic con vention again the city even surpassed what it dii a year ago. Every one nho attended the convention sec-ms to vie wills every other one in saying nice and praiseworthy things of the open welcome and the royal entertainment the city gave to the splendid repre sentatives of the Democratic hosts of the State. THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE. Terhaps there has been no more positive accentuation of the choice of the people of North Carolina in ail its history than the naming of K. B. Glenn for Governor by the Democratic State convention last week. Perhaps a thoiisacd times has it been said In North Carolina during the past five days : "For once the will of the people has set at naught the schemes ol the politicians." And truly is it so, if the opposition to Glenn could be construed to be "the schemes of the politicians." The Commonwealth has had no word of disparagement for any of the noble men who were candidates for the honor that has fallen upon Mr. Glenn, but has preferred him to them alt and is happy in the result of the contest. Glenn ivas the people's choice and they will have the pleasure of casting tnc-ir ballots for him in November and will elect him to the high olliee for which he has been named. lie will inalce a brilliant campaign and the people all throuch the State will re- ioice to g;eet him. DEMOCItA TIC T7.1V COTVEN- J nventlon i The Stnts Democratic hekl in Greensboro last week is said to have been tho greatest convention of the kind ever held in the State.

Glenn's nomination was declared Friday morning at six o'clock, being introduced to the body, he spoke briclly as follows . "Gentlemen of the Convention : You are too fatigued by Tj'Our night yigils and I am too weary and worn fcr me to make you a speech at sis o'clock in the morning, but T must say that words are inadequate ; language can not convey the gratitude that I feel to this great Democratic convention for the high honor it has conferred on me by making me its nominee for the po sition of chiet magistrate of our belov ed State. The two conflicting emotions of joy acd fear contend together in my breast. Joy because I have reached the height of my ambition, the goal tcr whu-.h I have striven, ml fear lest having attained, I cannot perform the great responsibilities and duties of my high olliee. I can only promise that I will do all in my power to promote the interests and foster the resources that will aid new dignity and glory to our State, and do nothing that will bring shame and dishonor on her fair name. I will give my deepest thought and most serious consideration to all mat ters that may come before me for con siderationgetting all advice and whole some aid by consulting with those ca pable to advise. "In matters appertaining to agricult ure I will seek wisdom from the skilled farmer. In considering those things to benefit ourjndusfrial pursuits 1 will learn of those trained in manufactur ing. Of tne miner and geologist I will learn of the treasures . hidden in the bowels ot the earth, furnishing untold wealth ; as to matters connected with our railroad interests I will not be afraid to consult railroad and anti-railroad men, so as to decide whether it may be best to sell, lease or conduct on business methods. From those who know the most on given subjects I will try to gather the best of their judg ment and then with light and facts be fore me, and asking above all the guid ance of the God of wisdom, who will always give his humble servaut even more than he asks, I will do what to me seems bestand right for the on ward progiess and future development of our people and the State. ' In all things I will strive faithfully to promote the material, educational and moral interests of North Carolina, both in the State and abroad, even to foreign shores I will tell of our fertile soil and our bidden resource s, our pow erful water power, our b dmy breezes and life giving wafers, and last, but not (east, our patriotic and generous men and beauetous and pure women, iiidtiC' uig all binas ot immigration to our midst to the end that diversified inter ests may spring up, furnishing a mark et for cur farmers, fruitful employment for our laborers, and a source of invest ment for those who have money to put in business. "But, gentlemen of the convention, with my joy to-day alco come regrets, for I sorrow while I enjoy the reward that the great and good men who were my competitors are necessarily com- I eltecl to endure defeat. To my friends, General Theodore F. Davidson and Ma jor C. M. Stedman, great old soldiers of the past, able lawyer?, generous citi zens and Christian gentlemen of to day, I gieet you and effer you my friendsnip, with the assurance that will do anything for your comfort and pleasure. "To my friend W. D. Turner, stur dy oak in the Democratic forest, whose s-.bility is only equalled by his Integrity, I likewise extend my good wishes and hope I can some day serve you. And now to those who were my fiiends In the contest, who held up my hands and won success : I assure you my ap preciation will be co-extensive with my life, and my recollection of your goodness will only fade as memory- dies. To those who in an honorable v.iy fought me, striving for their friends, my competitois, 1 hava no word of anger. I honor you for your stand, and what higher tribute can pay you than to say : You were faith ful to your trust. "To the lew, and I am glai they were very few, who, practicing dirty politics, tried in three months to de sroya character that it has taken me filty years to build up, I can only say, I hope God will give me Christian grace sufficient to rise high enough to s ty : I will forget and forgive. This is no time for political speaking. Later on I will meet you on the hustings in your own counties and discuss with you the great issues of the day. And now I must go to'send her, who has been the sharer of my joys and sorrows, a telegram, telling her of my victory so that she may likewise rejoice. Also must go to the bedside ot my sick brother here In this city and get his congratulation, and receive the bless ing of my dear old mother, who, in answer to her prayers, has been spared to see her boy honored by the party which she taught him in infancy to love with bis whole heart. wAnd now good-bye until we meet on the hustings." OASTORI. Eearatie ?Tha Kind Yon Haw Always Bought The day after the Congressional coh yentlon in Wilson last week which nominated Hon. Claude Kitchin tor Congress, the News and Observer made the following appropriate and well timed editorial comment : "The Democrats of the Second dis trict yesterday unanimously renomi nated Hon. Claude Kitchin for Con gress. Mr. Kitchin has taken high rank in thejHouse in his two terms and his speech in which he simply annihi lated Grosvenor gave him a national reputation. It was an uncommonly bright and original speech, deliyered with the grace and vim characteristic ot Mr. Kitchin, and captivated the House. The Republicans enjoyed it hugely, for Mr. Kitchin is the first man to get the better of the Ohio 'es timator' who has been having his own way for a decade in Congress. It is not wide of the mark to say that Mr. Kitchin's speech was one of the finest of the session. The demand for it has been so great that the Congressional Committee will circulate it as a cam paign document. "Mr. Kitchin is a son of the late Hon. W. H. Kitchin and on his moth er's side is related to the great.Nathan- lel Macon. How could he be other han a State's Rights Democrat and an ntrepid party leader? He graduated with high honors afc Wake Forest Col- ege, was admitted to the bar, and has enjoyed'a large practice from the first. He is an able lawyer, a diligent stu dent, a gentleman of high character, and one of the ablest of the younger men in North Carolina. He is a Dem ocrat whose Democracy is based upon fundamental principles'enunclated by Jefferson. He is an orator and In a day when oratory is not common, and his sincerity and courage haye won for him the admiration of the State." STATE NORMAL AND INDUSTRI AL COLLEGE.
