Every county in this district but Baden and Bruins
wick has appointed delegates to the State Democra
ic Convention By some oversight, our friends in
these tuo counties have not yet taken any action up
ON the subject AS the time snow rapidly approach
ing wewould suggest to the Democrats in these coun-
ties the proprety of holding meetings for this pur-
pose during the coming week. Can we not hear from
them in some way or other upon this subject! The
whole district should be represented. This is the
banner district and certainly should have something
to say in the choice of Democratic candidate. We
hope that the delegations from each OF the counties
will see that some Of their number be present.
OLD NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. say Our Charlotte
friends to sending delegates from old Meehlenburg
Can't they fix it to get meeting for that pur
pose! We should like to meet some of our old friend
at Raleigh next month.
