DUNN. n. c., Sept. A.-The Senatorial
Convention Of the Fifteenth District,
comprising the counties Of Harnett'
Sampson. and Johnston, convened here
Yesterday. Hon. r. N. Hackett was In
1roduced by Hon. D. H. Mclean and
spoke for two hours on State and ma
tIonal issues.
Then came the interesting role when
senator from Sampson was to be chosen.
There were two prominent candidatcs-
Henry A. Grady, lawyer of Clinton.
chant and farmer Of the upper part OF
the county. Tue primaries In Sampson
has resnlted.+in entire failure, two town
ships had failed to- meet and the ques-
ton Of electing a senator was referred
10 this convention. The Democracy in
Sampson, which has for recent years
been a floating and shifting quantity
was rent by factions and discussions.
Prior to and during the convention fac
tional feeling was at white heat.
J. A. P. Jones, OF Johnston county. was
presented by the Johnston delegates as
their choice and was nominated by nc
clamadnn. The two candidates from
Sampson were placed In nomlna ton by
their supporters and at this juncture the
convention adjourned for lew moments
for the Sampson delegates TO ascertain
.he relative strength Of their candidates
in caucus,
Mr.. Grady was decidedly the choice Of
the caucus, rs was evidenced by an em-
phatic vote In his favor, whereupon Will
son withdrew and Grady was nominated
by reclamation amid great enthusiasm.
lie and Wilson responded In ringing
speeches, the latter nyowins his purpose
10 do all IN his power for the nomi-
nees Of the convention as well as the
ticket.
The breach In Sampson was thus heal
ed and thereby no opportunity remains
for the Republicans. and the probability
is thai Democratic victory Will be roll-
e1 MP in Samps@l this year for the entire
ticket. There Is no doubt as to the
senator. as Harnett and Johnston will be
ready 10 supply any votes that Sampson
may. perchance. need. Hon d, II, Nc
