The best man.
PAMLICO.
A LEADING DEMOCRAT OF PAMLICO COUNTY:
Governor Jarvis has the strongest hold
on the people Of any other, possibly, and
his many friends would be pleased with
his nomination if he desired it. His rec
ord as Governor has made him an except
ional strong candidate. He would receive
a good many Republican votes. Next to
Jarvis, Gilmer seems to have the leading
following. A good many of his old army
comrades reside here and know him per-
sonally and love him, and as a general
thing they are influential men, and calcu
| lated to do him good service. Gen. VIM.
L Cox also has following of the same
kind and he would make a very acceptable
candidate to our people. His name has
been mentioned here by some. What our
people desire most in this connection, how
ever is some one in the gubernatorial chair
that will know no east no west, or center,
but will treat all sections of this State fair
y, and in doing SO enable us to loosen the
fetters that bind us now, which we could
do, and which would rebound to the inter
est OF the entire State, and especially this
| portion. There are other names mentioned
in this connection, but they have not any
personal following, are not known, and
| are only spoken OF as having been pressed
| by other sections.
PASQUOTANK.
| E. F. LAMB, Chm Dem. E1 Com:
| Jarvis is a strong man from this sec
| ton.
Probably Stedman.
| THE FALCON PUBLISHING co:
We are for Stedman now, but don't
| know who we will support at the conven-
| ton. You can rely on the Old First for
| good solid work for any man who Is Sc
| lected
| G. W. HOLLowELL, Of E. City:
| Tom. Jarvis will do for Us, at all events
we are willing to try him.
PITT.
| d. J. WHICHARD, editor Greenville Reflec-
tor:
Thos J. Jarvis, if he can be induced to
accept.
G. B. KING, editor Greenville Democrat:
| At the present they seem to have no
| personal favOrite. They wish to see the
party put forward the strongest man, and
then feel confident of the result. We
| have heard several mention Alexander
and also Armfeld as strong men from the
| west. Fowle has many warm friends in
this county, and Jarvis, although it is not
known whether he aspires to the place or
not, is spoken of in connection with the
candidates in the east.
SENATOR WILLIS R. WILLIAMS, of Falkland:
l cannot answer your question.
PERQUIMANS.
L. W MCMULLEN, of Hertford Chm Dem
EX. Com:
know of no one whom the people par
the usual vote. Maj. Stedman made fine
| impression when he was with us in the
last campaign.
PERSON.
W. W. WASH, of Hurdles Mills:
The people would like Judge Fowle.
JAS. W. LONG, of Roxboro:
| Clark or Jarvis.
FENDER.

of large odds.
H. ALFRED PADDIsoN, of Burgaw
Charles NJ. Stedman.
POLK.
JOHN GARRISON, of TryOn City:

RANDOLPH.
DR. D. REID PARKER, of Trinity College
Clark or Alexander.
G S. BRADSHAW, of AshbOro
Judge Walter Clark, as far as | have
heard any expression Of sentiment.
NJ. BRADSHAW, Editor Ashboro Courier:
Walter Clark.
ROCKINGHAM.
N. S. SMITH, editor Leeksville Echo:
Any good man. Clark is liked very
much.
H. r. SCOTT, of Wentworth:
Some good, honest, intelligent man, an(
liberal enough to give $25, 900 to the cam
paign fund. Also with sufficient executiv,
ability to see that the fund is so managed
as to secure thorough canvas of the State
In this connection the name of Col. Thos
NJ. Holt has been favorably mentione,
here.
RICHMOND.
J. D. BUNDY, editor Laurinburg Ex
change:
The man with clean record that cal
by all means lick his Republican opponen
on the stump. Maj. Stedulan has some fol
lowers, as have also Judge Gilmer an,
Clark, but none of these are stron
enough canvassers.
II. c.. WALL, editor Rockingham Rocket
No special interest. Content to leave til
matter to the State convention.
ROBESON.
SENATOR J. E. PURCELL, of Pureepolis:
Alexander is the strongest man here fo
r GovernOr-neXt Stedman, and then Clar
r and Holt-the two latter of equal strength
D Public sentiment is not yet sufficient
crystalzed to form decisive opinion.
4 W. w. MCDIARMID, editor Lumberto
Robesonan:
i, Capt. Alexander is probably the strong
: est man in this county for Governor, ha,
y ing had some positive following here fc
a several years. Our people consider hin
!, eminently sound in the Democratic fat
n and accord to him fine ability and goo
e sense. His record as member of the Leg
a islature is also highly spoken of. Jarvis
e Clark and Stedman, probably IN the orde
y named, have following in this county.
g w. B. HARKER, of Maxton:
:. We do not believe Col. Walter L. Stee
~ would be willing to make the sacrifice
be Governor but we would like to see tt
man who could get away with the old gel
tleman on the stump, or who would NAL
a more efficient Governor Of North Car
lima. There are thousands of voters
