opinion among Democrats in tina
county rs 10 what action the Demo.
cratic executive committee should
take in regard To holding one OIL
mole nominating conventions, | wish
to say that l am i'll favor Of but one
convention. | can see no good rea.
son for two or more, and | do not
think that the farmers of this county
want more than n convention as al
the business, county, state and con
gressionsl, "a he attended TO MS hon
estly and intelligently at M conveu-
ton n. three. 1t has been done once
or more IN this county. 1t was done
two years ago and l heard no com
plant of trading or dishonesty in
that convention. Then why make
that a p~retext for holding two or three
conventions this year. For these
and many other reasons that | could
give were it not that L fear l am
trespassing on your time, l am for
one convention.
Yours respectfully,

tended for A. Carter, Jr., who is the
member of the committee, and in

Mr.. Il. 81. White.
AT HOME, May 8, 1SS6.-DEAR
SIR-In reply to your inquiry OF
April % l will say L think it would
be better to have but n meeting OF
school districts to appoint delegates
to the different conventions. You
can't get the people to meet but once,
or but few at least, after nominating
county ticket. The masses will take
but little interest.
Very respectfully,
ALEX CARTER, SR.

Mr.. K. NJ. White.
AT HONE, May 3, 1SS6.-DEA
SIR-I received yours of the 1st de
string my views in regard to GU
Democratic convention. / am i
favor Of one, and only one, CONVEX
ton, and that at a time when we wi
have a full attendance. There
not so much business but that it ca
be attended to at one convention.
think more than one conventio
would be detrimental to our organ:
cation. The second would be RI
by otfice-seekers, rings, cheats an
frauds. The honest voters woul
take no interest in it.
Yours hastily, J. f. WHITLEY.
