The Wing" of Tuesday contains an invitation to
the party to hold meeting to appoint delegates to
the Convention which will shortly meet for the pur
pose of nominating candidate for Governor. The
Editor is opposed to Incorporating in the platform
any resolution the subject of free suffrage of
an open Convention. He thinks these questions
"should originate with the people in their primary
assemblies and receive form and vitality from their
Representatives in the Legislature" At a recent
wing meeting held in Raleigh resolutions passed
without any enunciation of principles whatever.
This primary assembly said nothing in regard to
these important issues and if the Convention agree
ably to Mr.. Williamsons notion adjourns without any
expression of opinion upon them, the nominee will
go before the people free to advocate either side
which is most popular any particular region where
he may happen to be. We do not pretend to say
that this the object of the Editor when he pcnned
his non-commtal article, but this result will follow
We now ask the Wing" if he is still opposed to
Free Suffrage is he with the comparatively non
slavehoding Counties of the West in favor of open
and unrestricted Convention? The people have
right to know the views of the candidates for Cover
nor on the important questions of State REFORM and
they will not put confidence in party whose selec
ted exponent is afraid to assume and express his
pnions freely and openly upon them. 1t is well
known that Gov Manly rode on both sides of these
questions and are the Wings going to attempt that
game again? The Democratic Convention will take
decided grounds our candidate will be Free Suf-
frage man and opposed to an open Convention We
will see what grounds this Wing meeting called for
by the organ will take. Charlotte Democrat.
