The Democratic convention of DaVie
County was held in Mocksville last Satur.
day. Seven delegates and seven alternates
were elected to attend the State convention
on the Both. They go uninstructed. The
county is for Hon. d. G. Fowle for Govern
or, by large majority.
The convention also appointed delegates
to the Congressional District Convention at
Salisbury, and instructed the delegates to go
for the denomination of Hon. John S. Hen
derson. Also passed resolutions endorsing
his course in Congress. The convention
was harmonious, and all were in fine spirits.
If we mistake not. the signs are that the
county will go Democratic this fall. few
more such communications as appeared in
the Union Republican will do the work.
