Gol6sboro has never had such
a municipal convention for the
nomination of Mayor as that
which assembled last night. 1t
a a grand and imposing aggre-
cation of our citizens, and it
showed that our people are alive
to the public veal and interested
in the government of our pro-
gressive city.
The best of good feeling pre-
vailed, and while there were four
candidates in the field on the first
ballot, and three on the second,
there was no clanish or factional
support of any, but every candi-
date drew support from every diff
ferent class in the community,
down to the final ballot, which re-
suited in the choice of Mr. John
John H. Hill, the present incum-
bent, who is now concluding his
second consecutive term as Mayor,
and will be elected, probably
without opposition, to a third
term, in the coming election.
On motion of Capt. j. E.. Pet
erson, who was MI. Hills most
formidable opponent in the con
vention, the latter's nomination
was made unanimous amid great
enthusiasm, and with a brief but
cordial speech of thanks from Mr..
Hill the convention adjourned.
