delegates to the State congressional and
senatorial conventions. John O. Dancy
(colored). the collector of customs at Will
mington. who calls this city bis home, was
the leading spirit On ms motion, tho

are lifelong Republicans. This does not
scare the Democrats. for they can give them
/ 900 votes and then elect the ticket.
