A detailed run of the North Carolina Democratic convention’s final day in Charlotte. Delegates, exhausted by sleep loss, align behind William W. Kitchin as Ashley Horne withdraws. Speeches by Col. Horne and Cyrus Watson move the crowd, Aycock and Kitchin pledge unity, and the nominating scene culminates in a unanimous push for Kitchin.
