The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1877-1885, 1880-06-10

Macon Reporter (printed in Lieut. Governor
Robinson town endorses it fully Some
time ago it was thought that the friends Of
Gov. Jarvis had made out their State
ticket, and that the names thereon
we're the names of the present IN
cumbents-no one being dropped. Now
i is said that Col. Holt is substituted
in the place Of Capt. Robinson: 1t this be
rue it will weaken the ticket In the west.
Cart. Robinson has discharged the duties
Of Lieut.. Governor with credit to himself
and the State and no one west of the Blue
Ridge can add more to the strength of the
State ticket than he. If the candidate for
Governor is to be chosen from the middle
or eastean part of the State, then the West
should find a place, next the head Of the
ticket. Now. if the friends of } Judge Fowle
or Gen. Scales will place Capt. Robinson on
the second place on their ticket and ill it
out with equally good men, it will be one
that will bring out the Democratic hosts IN
November, and assure success.
The South Carolina Democratic Con
vention nominated Johnston Haygood for
Governor; j. d. Kennedy for Lieut-Gov-
ernor Secretary of State, K. Nj. Slmms;
Attorney General, L. F. Youman Sup't OF
Education, H. S. Thompson Adjutant and
Inspector General, Arthur Manigault.
The Second Century, printed at Able
marie, the home of Samuel j. Pemberton,
Esq, distinctly denies the rumor of that
an independent candidate for Congress. We
doubted it, from the first.
-Ex-Mayor w. p. Cannady, Of Whining
ton, and A. j. Pinkham, a brother delegate
to the Chicago convention, had a fight in
Washington, C. on top because +:
wouldn't mind his The cousus beUi
was a charge, by P. that c. would desert
Sherman for 800 in cash.
Union county convention was harmO-
NOUS and satisfactory. j. +. Payne, Esq,
was temporary chairman, t.; Rogers per
Secretaries. The townships elected their
own delegates to State convention who were
sent uninstructed. The Enquirer gives the
result of the primaries as follows: Monroe
cast two-thirds 81 of its strength for Judge
Fowle 6-2lst for Jarvis; 9.2lst for Maj.
C.. Dowd; 7-21st for Col. r. T. Bennett !;
and 5-2lst for Col. VIM. Johnston. Buford
townships casts 4 for Fowle; 4 for Jarvis,
Scales as second choice 4 for Johnston !;
for Bennett. Sandy Ridge instructed for
Bennett for Congress. jackson went for
johnson for Congress. Ianes Creek went
for present State officers.
The Eaquirer thinks ex-Sheriff J. NJ.
Wall be the choice OF Arson for State Sena-
tor. He is a a good and true man.
Editor Patriot: | think L can say by
authority that Gen. A. NJ. Scales is not a
candidate under any circumstances for the
Gubernatorial nomination. George 4. Gre
qory, Chairman Erecuttre Committee 9TH
Congressional District, .June ), 1880.
The Raleigh Nears says the sort OF
warfare now and for months waged against
State off GERS is unworthy Are the State
officers so immaculate, so far above those
Nh n-. l~, - r1,aa onI nnunr that
their records cannot be discussed? When
did the state officers get to be such
d~ictators, that the people, from whom they
derived all power, dare not speak OF them
EXCEPT with their hats of?-Warrenton ia

Edmund Jones, of Caldwell county, il
prominently spoken of as ElectOr for the Stt
Congressional District. We think the con
vention should elect Mr.. Jones for severa
reasons, among others, he Is one OF the bes
informed men in politics IN the State, he Ii
an able debater, in fact as a stump speakel
speaker he has but few equals and supe
riors in the State and besides Caldwell is
the banner county Of the District and de
serves some recognition at the hands OF tn
Democratic party and we insist that thu
gallant son of hers be nominated for thu
position. Burke Blade.
