Whereas, Unfortunately, local issues
have sprung up between the counties
of adisOD and Haywood of such q
character as would, most likely, tend
to affect the success of any candidate
(hOWever suitable OtherWise} coming
from either of those counties; and
Whereas, We OF Haywood county
most earnestly desire to rid this can
Yass of any and all local questions,
which would in any wise affect u
success, and to this end deem it most
unWise and ineXpedient that can
didate should come either from Mad
isOn or Haywood counties,
ResOh'ed, Therefore, that it is the
sense Of this Convention that the cam
didate of the Conservative party for
this Senatorial District, in the APP
preaching election should be selected
either from Lauderdale or Upton
counties.
ResOlced, That the delegates from
Haywood county % the coming Sen
