REYNOLDS BROS CONVENTION.


Some months ago, it is said, fac
ton of the Republican party of the
county set to work TO overthrow the
ol6 Republican organization. Not
until last Saturday was it known how
completely they had succeeded.
For some weeks past the Reynolds
Brothers, together with DIR. league
and Mr.. Staunton, have been holding
meetings throughout the county APP
parently for the purpose of party Or
ganization; but the result Of the con-
vention on Saturday shows that really
they were organizing a Reynolds fac
ton to wipe out the old leaders Of
the party in the county.
The convention met 1t was under
stood that Staunton was to be noni-
mated for Register of Deeds. But a
Reynolds man had to preside, and
Mr., Staunton overriding all rules OF
propriety presided over the conven-
ton; and when it became necessary
to adjourn the convention to prevent
vote on resolution, endorsing
Brewer for Congress, Mr.. Stanton
was the Fright man in the right place.
Reynolds Brothers were placed in
nomination for the House Of Commons
and right manfully did Reynolds
Brothers beat down all opposition in
| the convention.
Reynolds Brothers, 10 proper per-
son, placed DR.. league in nomination
for Sheriff and the voice Of the friends
of Mr.. Nat. Wilson was drowned by
the Reynolds machine.
Reynolds Brothers, in proper per-
son, nominated Mr.. Edgar Lineback
| for the Senate and moved his nomina
ton by reclamation.
Reynolds Brothers placedi in nomi
nation Mr.. j. p. Staunton for Regis
ter of Deeds. Mr.. Staunton, as chair,
man, hung his blushing face down
across his standing collar, while Rey-
nolds Brothers put to the house a mo-
ton, hurriedly made, to make the
choice of Reynolds Brothers the nom
inee of the convention by reclamation
Mr.. w. S. Linville came from a
| township that did not vote for Rey-
Ao sra thn~nF@-~ iAoiu>
Brothers allowed some one else tc
nominate Mr.. Linville for Treasurer
Reynolds Brothers nominated J. w
Jones for Surveyor, but for the life Of
them they could not remember his
| name.
Reynolds Brothers made ten strike
by putting the cold Sheriff at the
foot of the ticket for Coroner, and
laughed gleefully in the faces of the
old warriors that have given the For
syth Democracy so many hard fights
10 the past.
Will Reynolds Brothers whip the
fight in November next? Democrats
shake their heads.
Will Reynolds Brothers make them
selves the masters of the Republican
party in the county? Some Republi
cans say: "a yonng man by the name
OF Everett tried that once, and for a
time succeeded. He threatened to
brake the machine unless the machine
crank was turned by him."
If any Que man, or any two men,
Or any four men, think they can run
the Democratic party in Forsyth coun-
ty let them try it.
Mr.. Charlie Reynolds may have
run the machine in his old county to
his own satisfaction; he'll never do it
in Forsyth.
Some Republicans fought hopeless
fight others quietly submitted rather
than engage in a disgraceful wrangle
on the floor of the convention.
The Forsyth county Democracy
gladly goes forth to meet the old ene-
my under its new leadership, and chal-
lenges the Reynolds ticket to the
field.
