On motion of Mr.. Cantwell, the nominations were
On motion of Mr.. Engelhard, . committee Of three
was appointed to wait upon the nominees and re-
quest their presence in the Convention. The COM
mittee consisted of j. A. Engelhard, Henry Morie-
cal and Canady Lowe.
Ed. G. Haywood, being present, waved formali- !
ties, and responded to general call. The honor |
just conferred upon him was wholly unexpected !; |
but he cheerfully accepted the nomination and would
endeavor to do his duty in the approaching cam
paign, and to his constituents if they saw fit to
elect him. He proceeded at considerable length to
speak of the issues presented-particuarly that Of
Distribution, on which he took ground With the De-
mocratic party of the State. He denounced that
scheme unconstitutional, inadvsable, unpatrotic
and impractcabe. In conclusion he alluded to the
contest for the Governorship, and to his family con-
nection with of the candidates, and said that
Notwithstanding that he should feel it to be bis du
ty to deal with that gentleman in connection with
this hobby, as though such relationship existed be-
tween them. Mr. Haywood was frequently inter-
rupted by applause
The committee now returned with Mr.. Faribault
and Mr. Hutchins and reported that Mr.. Bedsoe
was confined to his home by sickness, but would
take occasion during the campaign to meet the great
mass Of the people of the county.
| Mr.. Faribault was loudly called for. He thanked
upon him. He felt it to be high honor to himself-
for he had been presented to the people of Wake,
| comparatively unknown, personaly-with nothing
of family position, wealth, or distinguished public
service in the past to recommend him. The tribute
| was paid to himself alone, and he would endeavor
to prove himself worthy of it. loud cheers) He
would stand by the party, as best he could and by
the action Of it's State and National Conventions
He briefly alluded to the opposition to the Democratic
party, which he designated the {" odds and ends Of
all the defnct isms supported by the K. N. press
of the State, and 1" headed by the Register, upon
whose shoulders seems to have fallen the man

The impression made by Mr.. Faribault was decided
| " favorable. His remarks were characterized by
good taste and sound sense, and were devoid Of os-
| tentation
IF. Hutchins was next called upon. He felt
embarrassed at the position in which he found him.
self placed. He thanked the Convention for its
manifestation of confidence in him. He did not
feel at liberty to decline the nomination. he would
accept it, with the purpose of using all honorable
in his power guard the of his coun-
ty and State. He need hardly say what his politi'
cal sentiments were-he had always been q Demo.
crat, and he hoped to prove worthy of the conf
dence reposed in him that day. At the proper time
he would make known his opinions on the various
questions which were agitating the country. Mr..
Hutchins was warmly appauded.
Mr. Cantwell moved that the proceedings of this
Convention he published in the Standard Adopted.
w. j. Saunders moved to adjourn.
Col. H. Weatherspoon drew attention to one Of
the objects of the Convention-the nomination for
the office of sheriff. 1t appeared to be overlooked,
though it was stated in the call of the Convention.
Mr. Saunders withdrew his motion to adjourn.
Mr. Cantwell renewed the motion.
Maj. Wilder asked to say few words before the
motion was put. He regarded the present as an
important crisis to the party OF this county. He
knew what he was saying and he cautioned the
Convention that if they adjourned without making
nomination for Sheriff, the defeat of those already
nominated was certain. He believed that nothing
could avoid t-no contrivance to adjourn, nor any
other shift They must 60 from that Convention
united for all things-hsve no miserable squabbles
for the Office of Sherif-no paltry fight for dollars
and cents The question must be met fairly. (Cries

Messrs. Saunders and Cantwell disclamed the I'M
putation of Maj. Wilder.
The Chair ruled the debate out of order.
Mr. Cantwell withdrew the motion to adjourn that
the debate might 60 on, with the understanding
that Mai. Wilder would renew the motion. Agreed
