JOYNER BY RECLAMATION
No Other Candidate Has an Instructed
Majority of Votes In Convention.
DIGEST OF EACH coUNIYs ACTION
Carefully Prepared Statement Showing What
Action Has Been Taken By The
Various County Con.
ventions.

There will be 1,244 delegates in the
Democratic State Convention which
meets at Greensboro on Wednesday. II
will require 623 votes to nominate.
The county conventions have instruct ed
SS6R delegates to vote for Justice
Walter Clark for Chief Justice. He is
therefore already virtually nominated
for that position, as most of the unin-
structed vote is also for him. 1t is not
believed that more than 100 of the 1,221
votes will be cast against him.
Quite a number of counties have in
structed ttheir delegates to vote for Hon.
]. Y. JOyner to succeed himself as State
Superintendent of Public Instruction. He
will doubtless be nominated by acclama-
ton.
No candidate for Associate Justice or
Corporation Commissioner has enough
instructed votes to insure his nomi-
nation.
In order to give our readers the action
taken by the various counties we have,
with very great labor and care, prepared
the following digest of what was done in
the county convention in every county in
the State. Some counties-very-f ew-in-
structed for every place. Quite a num-
Der instructed for Eastern or Western
Associate Justice, but comparatively few
fer both. The majority of counties gave
no instructions for Corporation Commits
sion.
Those who are interested in any of the
contests can take out their pad and paper
and figure out which way the. cat will
jump" In order to facilitate this we
have appended to the digest from each
county the vote for Governor in 1900 and
number of delegates to which each coun-
ty is entitled in the State Convention.
