-Keogh has lost his place on the Ma
tional committee. The North Carolina
delegation at Chicago elected w. P. Gamma
dy in his stead.
WIN. A. Darden, Esq. of Greene and
Maj. Thos. Sparrow, of Beaufort county are
named for Auditor.
Wayne county did not instruct. Re

ger wants Col. r.. Tyler Bennett for Gov
ernor. We were with Col. Bennett in the
Fort Delaware prison shambles, and every

far as the county conventions have indicated
the choice of the people, he has nearly
double the strength OF any other candidate.
