To an outsider who reads the communications of tne newspapers urging The claims 01 Mr. Simmons for the Senatorship. there appears to be but one man in North Carolina.

Is this just to the Democratic in the State whose editors thought they had something to do witn the contest and its results? Is it just to the able, heroic, brilliamt men who convassed the State from the mountains to the seaboard, trying to arouse the patriotic devotion of the people to dnltv and danger? Is it just to the business men who paid their money liberallv to help on such a consummation? Especiallv is it iust to J. S. Carr, who. I am told, put his check-book into the hand of Mr. Simmons, and old bun to draAV on him for the of war witnout omhjuv blindness and concentrated non-apprecia-! tion'of the men who have borne the heat and burden of the day that Aortn iaro-1 mifflit he fi!

I have no doubt Mr. Simmons is a worthy gentleman: but he does not stand alone.

'Mr. Simmons 'is a young naian and should wait for the honors of his party. General Carr is now 55 years old, just the right age to combine mature wisdom and judgment, which, with his great love for North Carolina, makes him, our opinion, the man most fit to represent us in the senate.

7. General Carr ds a mlan of the highest personal His. political record is clean. He lias never attempted to force other candida tes out of the race for the nomination or congress in ordeij that 'he himself "might be nominated to the senate. He has never sought place upon the Democratic ticket a Pop ulist for congress, nor in any way to dictate the action of a Democratic convention to urthea- 'his own ambition.

It was-for' this reason that (Mr. Simrrooiis fsonght the place in '82. in comnetotion with f'un-dreds of other capable Democrats, who were equally desirous of the place an who were not'lesb worths and loyal, and again in '08 tfhere were other loyal an I efficient Democrats who stood ready, and were m'ore than willing to sic- cent honor. But Mr.

B. Creecy, editor, with reference to Mr. Simmons. The Economist is published in the section of the State wnere Mr. Simmons was born, and Knows mm better than Senator Vance.

See what high estimate it puts upon his char acter and ability. This able paper says: The withdrawal of ex-senator anos. J. Jarvis relieves this district of ail doubt as to the vote. lnle there were numbers of our best and most influential Democrats who felt a sincere desire to support Jarvis.

Republican Senators We don't need a millionaire in Vance's or Ransom's seat, we are not willing to vouch for the career of a man, whose obligations are with the rich class of statesmen. We don't want this buying of seats in Congress estabiisnea as a precedent.

Talk of submitting the vote to people, and their attempt to unduly influence them by subsidizing the press and hiring the local agents to work up the vote." Such conduct may be expedient and proper in a political campaign, between rival political parties, but in a State Senatorial contest between Democrats; it would, appear that a candidate for such a prominent office should be well known and sufficiently known by the people to stand upon his past record, and let the people decide upon his merits; we cannot believe that anv great number of Democrats in this Congressional district will so far forget tne great amnu iions of Hon.

It is too -well known all tho Sfa'to what he ha done for institutions, to say nothing of his numberless charities in almost every direction for while these ihinir can said to his credit, it is not on account of these that he is entitled to the suffrages of his fellow citi-but on -account of his unwavering fidelity to the Demovjratie party, ana the constant -and efficient service he has lvrlered the party, for but few aiv aware of the influence and help with which he has ailed the Democracy in many a haul fought campaign. While others have been rewarded for their service in the iuterest of the "party, he has never received anything at the Jrands of the people. We ask for him in the coming primaries the support of the Democrats of Davidson county.

not only because lie deserves such on account of his past record, but also because in Gen. Cair as United States Senator the business men of North i.

Had the war between the Spates resulted in the independence of the Confederate States it is a well known fact ithat the leader of the glorious army, who gave immortality to Southern chivalry, would have been placed at the head of the government which had been established at the cost of such hign neroism anu cm.i deed All of those brave neroes wno KUiofl crimsoned rtcichts at fiettvsburg, and all of the noble women in our dear southland would have, with one united movement, placed the crown of recognition upon the matchless brow- army.
