/ together again and suggest To them 10 postpone
1 the senatorial convention until the citizens OF

A PosTPoNEMENT ASKED FOR.
Col Gordon, on moving the adoption Of
| these resolutions, gave his grounds FOR ad-
vocatIng the nomination of Bryan county
/ man. Ia his SIX years experience in the
| legislature he found one of the chief obsta-
! cles 70 legis atom for the First district
was che fact that Chatham county,
having a majority vote in the
nomination of senator, and the senator
| having with few exceptions been elected
! from Chatham county, the inference was
that Chatham sought to have things its own
way. Bryan county, Col. Gordon said, has
never been represented in the Senate since
/ the district was organized, and he
believed the nomination should 90
to Bryan. Inasmuch as the situation
in the county is complicated, there
| being five candidates and each Of the four
| delegates to the convention having a half
vote, supporting a different candidate, he
| believed it advisable that the convention
should be postponed until the county, by
mass meeting or in some way, may agree
| upon candidate.
| esThe resolutions were seconded and carried
unanimously.
Col Gordon moved that the chair ap-
point the delegation.
Capt. II. G. Cunningham moved that Col.
Gordon be made chairman of the delegation
and that he select his colleagues. Col
Gordon nominated 2. J. O'Connor, s. B.
Adams, Henry Kolshorn, A. K. Lawton
and T.. s. Morgan, and the delegation was
elected unanimously.
