THE PITT RESOLUTION.

Within the past few days The coun-
Wilson, Johnston and others have in
structed their delegates to the State
convention to vote for Senatorial pri
maries. Only one county in the State
has declared against this method of
choosing the next United States Sena-
tor. NO man is worthy to be United
States Senator who is afraid to trust
his chances to the people" declared
Edward w. Pou. Esq. in the Johnston
convention. and the utterance was
applauded and the vote for Sena-
torial primary was unanimous.
The Pitt resolutions were fuller
than in most counties and were we'll
drawn. We quote them in full:

heartily endorse the proposition to select
the Democratic candidate for the United

Senatorial candidates will be carrying ont
