4 correspondent Of the Washington
Gazette has some pleasant words to
say of DR.. G W. Sander!in in con-
nection with the nomination for GOV.
ernor. tie says: "He is emiHentiy
ht and has more elements OF strength
than any man within my knowledge; is
a learned man, man of excellent
Judgment, fine executive ability, and
splendid as an orator; is farmer, and
his writings on farming have been a
great blessing to agricuiturists; is
member of the alliance and a shining
light IN the order; Is an Confederate
soldier, is good democrat; is one Of
the finest campaignerS in the South, a.
was evidenced in the last campaign:
has made an excellent auditor. Norni-
rate him and there Will roll up such
democratic majority as has never been
seen Ill the State
Fayetteville Observer: 1t Is evident
that the convention which will Assem-
bic at Raleigh on the 18th at the call
OF the democratic State committee will
be what it should be-a democratic
convention. That being so, the gu
bernatorial nominee will be what he
should be. The probabilities are that
Governor Holt viii receive the uomi-
nation. He is entitled to it by all the
precedents, and certainly the State has
never had better executive. His pub
lie acts have been wise and patriotic,
his publlc appearances decOrous in tue
highest sense, and his speeches beyond
praise. The people of the South viii
long remember his address at the open
ing CT the late exposition in Raleigh
IT was, We believe, the best statement
Of the case Of e-South-since-w war that
has been given to the world in a single
speech. He is a typical North Caro-
linian, and has made typical North
Carolina Co ernOr.
