WINSTON, y. c, Sept. 2.-The sena-
torial convention OF this district meets
al Walnut Cove. Stokes county, the lat.
ter pa; Of this month and candidates
are beng freely talked OF. Forsyth and
Stokes form the district aud they have
for the last two General Assemblies sent
a Republican 70 Raleigh, the Democratic
majority in Stokes being overbalanced
by the Republican msiority in this
county. But the wind IS blowing differ
emily this time, and your correspondent
predicts a victory for the Democratic
standard bearer. II fact ali Republi-
can candidates will be made 70 answer
the question ''Will you support Browerln
which means their funeral knell; for this
year ne that supporteth the Car of Sur
r must go down with the Gar.
The writer has been feeling .te sena-
torial pulse lately. and IS confident that
q good man viii be nominated as no
other kind are being talked about. The
name of Capt. +. B. Glenn, which has
before been mentioned, will have great
weight IN the convention il be Will allow
his friends 70 push him. Several others
have been mentioned, among whom Mr..
Robah B herner stands out prominently.
One Of the bralnieSt men in North Car
olna, and one whom the CHRONICLE de-
lights TO honor. told me yesterday that
beyond doubt Mr.. kerner was the best
man 70 run. He has been a sterling
Democrat since the very days almost of
his babyhood, and has never finched
when Democrats called on him for aid or
Democracy demanded his time and la
borS. He has never been found on any
compromising grounds with Republicans,
nor on any occasion has be done that
which would not become the most genu-
inc Democrat He is young man Of the
new thought. believes in schools, and in
the common people and his name would
have great weight if his friends, who are
speaking OF it, would press his claims.
/ These are the two best men old Forsyth
/ has yet talked about IL my knowledge

I county nominated her man last election
Ier old Forsyth have her chance this
year and put forth a strong man as the
above T4er yic.orT will surely be hers.
Your correspondent heard some good
news from the county campaign in
Stoke yesterday The interest seems
centerei around the candidates for the
legislature aud CLERK Of the Court Nv
informant declared that Mr.. Brown
would be elected beyond doubt for the
House, and that although fears had
been entertained as 70 the Clerkship, it
was now evident that \. N. Stack will
carry the county handsomely.
News comes from Surry that the late
stump speeches of Barber and Settle GER
tainly stirred up that county, and that
tie answer the latter made 70 the ques-
ton, will you support Brower?" came
near wrecking him there. There IS one
curious exceedingly curious thing about
Settles answer that he would support
Brewer. Settle had just before stated
that he was opposed to the Federal cleo
ton bill, and then declared his intention
of votin- for man who had voted for
, its passage. Barber will lash him good
just here.
Messrs. GEO. E. Nissen Il Co., Of
Waughtown, the famous wagon builders
whose greatest advertisement lies in the
+ sight of covered wagons throughout tht
