A DELEGATE FROM WAYNF

Mr.. EDfToR: As public meeting Of the CcuD-
ty has been called, for the purpose of selrcring
delegates TO the District Convention it NAV bs

to p oduce harmony and concert of action:
|. Let one or two delegates be selected for carb
Captains district, without regard TO their prefpr
ences for any individual.
q When these county delegates meet in con.
venilon. let them decide for whom the vote of
" axe shall be given and whether their vote shall
be gwen for one person, or be divided.
3. Let the Convention adopt the rule Of voting
by counties. and not per ita-orhprwisp the
county which may happen TO have Ghe greatest
number of delegates in attendance will designate
the candidate.
q. Let each county in the District vote its lrgIs-
lative number, and let the Delegations of the re.
spective counties decide for themselves whether
their vote is 10 be divided or united
II these principles shall be adopted and carrrd
OUT the person who shall in this way get a majori-
ty of the whole number Of the votes cast will with
out doubt receive the nomination and support Of
the party. In order that his may be done, Yet the
meeting 10 be held in Wake on the l2h adopt
these principles. recommending them for the GOV
eminent of the Convention. and pledge the county
10 the support Of The candidate TINS srlrctrd. Ia
this individual preferences will be supeIsrdpd
and the voice of the democratic party prevail iHr-
