No CONDITION TO PROVOKE.
CHATHAM.
". L. IUTSON of Sler City:
Nothing can be said definitely of the
nominee for Govern IT here yet as our peo-
pie are 50 cold on politics. | am sorry |
can't give you any information on this
subject.
v. L. LONDON, of Pittsboro:
Very much divided with Stedman, Holt
and Gllmer in the lead.
| \. II. MERRITT, editor rIttsboro Home:
Gilmer or Clark.
J. A. ALsToN, of Pittsboro:
| 1t seems from the present outlook that
Stedman will carry Chatham.
I B. WoMACK, of Pittsboro:
Clark, Gilmer and Holt, each, have
friends here; Clark, the most probably,
but believe it is generally conceded that
Stedman will carry this county by reason
of its being his old home.
! CASWELL.
! @. n. THOMPSON, of LeaSburg:
No one much preferred above another.
Jarvis is the strongest man in the State,
in Caswell. Holt has friends, CLARK is ad-
mired and beyond that there is scarcely a
man whose name has been mentioned that
| is at all known in the county. Not hav-
| ing any personal knowledge of any one
beyond the above, our people would be
satisfied with any good man and vote all
right at the election.
CHEROKEE.
SAML ". DAVIDSON, of Murphy, Chm.
Dem. EN. Com;
The question has not been discussed.
Our people so far are satisfied with the
administration of Iov. Scales. All the
! Democrats ask, is a true man, with un-
questionable ability and the Democrats
will be as true as the needle to the pole.
CHOWAN.
". NJ BOND, of Edenton, Chm. Dem. Ex.
Com:
They know Mai. Stedman better than
any of the gentlemen named. He made
fine canvass in this section and created a
very favorable impression. Our people
like him.
| ". ID. PRJDEN, of EdentOn:
Stedmau cauvaSSed our District in 1884.
He made strong, aggressive speeches and
made many friends among US. Our folks
have thought more of him in that connec-
ton than anybody else and he is perhaps
now their favorite.
SAM'L. T. SKINNER, of Edenten:
There are no individual preferences that
cannot be easily surrendered for the sahe
of harmony and success.
f. J. BURKE, Of Tyner:
For Governor We want Jarvis or Sted
man or Saunders or any good and strong
and tried Democrat and we will elect him
CLEVELAND.

JOHN HUGHEs of New Berne:
our people favor any good Eastern

but there Is no organized movement il
his favor.
WM. B. LANE, of New Berne:
Thos J. Jarvis.
H. 5. MUM. editor New Berne Journal
Thos J. Jarvis, though there are som
good and intelligent men in the count.

can ranks as to carry the county.
