D During the tendency of the contest in this dstric

B1Durng the tendency of the contest in this district
that is, after Mr. McDuffe had announced himself
candidate, took occasion to remark that did not
know that there would be any candidate of the opposite
party but that if any did out basing his cal
culatons upon there being two Democrats in the field he
would be doomed to disappointment These are not
the words used but they contain the substance Per-
haps it may be due to Mr.. McDuffie, that the
test is over that we should state our grounds for MAX
ing the assertion.
On Saturday of the week preceding that on which
Mr. McDufie announced himself candidate that gen
tleman surprised us by walking into our sanctum After
the usual situations he introduced the subject of his
being candidate. We stated briefly that we would
not and could not, consistently with position take
any part between Democrats unless where nomination
was made-that he could not expect any support from
u.s. neither need he expect any opposition farther than
an impartial statement of facts might amount to
the other. We added that in one event. that of the
possibility of opposition candidate succeeding through
the division Of the Democratic strength might feel
called upon to counsel and aras possible insist upon
the concentration of that strength upon candidate,
in which event the former incumbent woul appear to
present the best rayng point from his position such
and the fact that he must a matter almost of
cessity be better known to the party of the district
than any new man could we'll be- To this in the main
Mr. McDufe assented and further stated that the sue
cess of the party could not be thus eopardized by his
being candidate for rather than it should be so, he
would, should the contingency referred to arise, with
draw, although he acknowledged no personal obligation
to do so still out of abundanty cautious regard for the
party he would waive all personal considerations
After some enquiries in regard to matter of which
we knew nothing the interview closed. Upon Mr.. Nc
DUTIES pledge stated, we based our remarks com
mented upon, about the time by the Fayetteville o.
SerUer.
The week following, Mr.. McDufie's card appeared il
the Carolintan and was also forwarded to the Journal
Mr. Whites was withdrawn as it was also in the Caro-
Imam. Mr. White we have not seen nor heard from
for months

act of Mr.. Wnsow's which any democrat could cen
