POLITICAL GOSSIP.
WHAT .'TUEl SAY" ABOUT POLL.

Bourne for Auditor.

| Hill, of Halif.1, for Supreme Court
| The Greensboro North State thinks
judge Gilmer will be he dark horse for

| The County Convention of Iancey
has declared for Gilmer for Governor and
Avery for Supreme Court.
The Wilmington Messenger thinks
| that Assistant Postmaster General Steven
son ought to be put forth as Wee Presi
! dent.
| A correspondent of the Ashboro
Courier presses the claims of Mr.. G. S.
| Bradshaw, of Randolph. for the Democratic
| Congi iessional nomination in the Seventh
| District.
| Hon. Daniel G. Fowle seems to be the
choice Of Beaufort county for Governor.
SO Tar as We can learn. And We are in
! formed that Pamlco county is also largely
! for Fo"le - Washington Progress.
! indications At present point clearly to
the nomination of Judge James +. Shep-
herd for the Supreme Court. There is no
| better man in the State, according to the
| Patriots way Of thinking Greensboro
Patriot.
The contest in the 4th Congressional
| District will be between Capt. Bum and
N. b. Brought on. Some of the others
! whose names have been prominently men
toned decline 10 allow their names to be
| used before the Convention i Durham
Recorder.
Mr.. n. B. Broughton is mentioned as
a candidate for Congress in the Raleigh
district. There is no better man in the
State than he and no one is more likely to
defeat John Nichols The Reflector would
be glad to ace Mr.. Broughton receive the
nomination.-iG Reflector.
The name of Duncan T. McIver will
be presented to the next State Convention
for the position OF Auditor He is capa-
bic and worthy. and popular. He ably
represented Moore county in the last Sen
ate, and is deservedly esteemed wherever
he is known. The Convention would
surely make no mistake in giving him the
nomination. -. Plttsboro Home.
We have not been reporting for repub-
lication the sayings about the nomination
of certain persons as candidates for Ger
tain places but we will say that Hon
John Manning, of Chapel Hill, is mention
ed by correspondent as a suitable man
for Supreme Court Justice, and a very
proper nomination it would be. There
are but few better lawyers or abler men in
the State than John Manning Il Charlotte
Democrat.
We may be mistaken, but we think
the withdrawal of CLARK and Jarvis makes
the nomination of Stedman, for Governor,
almost a certainty. Judge Fowle's friends
are very active, but it seems to us that he
has not elements of leadership needed in
the present campaign and could not poll
the full strength of the party. OF the
men now left III the race nominated by
the press Of cOutse-we most decidedly
prefer Stedman or Coke. - Elizabeth City
News.
-Durlng our recent term of court We
talked to great many men about the
gubernatoriai nomination, in order to find
out who was the strongest man in the
county. And there is no doubt in our
! mind that Fowle is the man. About nine
of every ten men We talked to on the SUBJ
ject favor him. He is eminently qualified
for the position, and faithfulness to the
party in the past, entities him to some
recognition at its hands. He can beat
Dockery as bad as Vance beat Settle III
! 1876 Carthage Blade.
We learn that the name of Duncan
E. Mclver, Esq, of Moore county, will be
presented to the State Democratic Con
ven: ion for the nomination for Auditor
He WAS the Senator from Moore and Ran
| dolph counties in the last Legislature, and
reure1 ed valuable service not only to his
! immediate constituents in those counties,
but to the people of the whole State, and
We doubt not that he would make most
| faithful and efficient Auditor He is one
of the largest and most progressive far
mers in the State. and his nomination
10, >f + bn
, of that large and influential class of our
! citizens. He VIC uld get a big vote in Chat
! ham Chatham Record.
, The people of Forsyth are a unit for
| Mr.. J. &. Buxton for Congress. There is
| no discord, no division, but one unaui-
! nous, enthusiastic opionion. Mr.. c. B.
Watson's friends urged his claims for
, awhile. but Mr.. Watson refuses to allow
! his name to 60 before the Convention and
! gives his hearty support to Mr.. Buxton.
| No other candidates from this county are
IN the field and Forsyth representatives
will go down to the Convention as unit
for Mr. Buxton. The cheering news comes
! from Stokes and Surry that they too will
! give him their support. They will instruct
| delegates next Monday. and the Sentinel
believes they will join Forsyth in unani-
| nous vote for the candidate of her choice
/ II Winston Sentinel.
As the time is rapidly approaching
for the Democratic Convention to assem-
/ ble in Raleigh, beg leave to name a ticket
! that will carry with it certain victory
the Hon. Daniel &. Fowle for Governor
and s B Alexander FOR Lieutenant Gov
ernor. No stronger ticket can be put for
, ward by the Democratic party, and no
! two men more deserving of the high honor
Judge Fowle won new laurels for himself
at our grand iublilation on the 18th ulti
mo. He is no disorganzer, and the De
mocracy of the State will rally to his sup
| port by the hundred thousands. Democrats
will all vote for him, but rs much cannot
be said for some of the candidates men
toned We want the strongest men il
the field, and Fowle and Alexander are the
men.- Cor Oxford Torchlight.
Judging from what we see in our ex
changes We are sure that Judge FOwle
leads in the race for gubernatOrial hOncrs
There Is wide spread feeling that the
services the Judge has rendered the Dem
ocratic party deserve recognition. Tha
he is man of ability, integrity, patriot
ism, and Of eminent speaking qualities
has been proved too often and too EN-
ohatically to be denied by any one. Tha
ne is popular and could stir up enthusiasm
in the Democratic ranks is likewise con
ceded. An important crisis is upon Us
A hard struggle is before us. A score o
men have been spoken of for Governor
