Demo cratic Conservative party of Pender coun ty assembled iu convention at Burgaw on Saturday, the 13th of May, 1876. Dr. S. S. Satchwell, acting as Chairman of the conuty executive committee, called the convention to order. He hoped that the new county, in the very outset of its career, would erect a high standard of political aption. What he wants in the campaigns of this year is successsuccess under the in spiring banner of reform, borne aloft by men ot wnom we neea noi oe asuauieu. As to our candidate for Congress from this district we have a number of men of high character and noble aims to select from; and our selection from among these noble brothers should be with a view to popular strength. On'his motion G. F, Walker, Esq., was elected president, and Dr. Robt. T. San ders secretary. The president addressed the convention at some length, invoking ac tivity in the party and good nominations. tip folinwin? scntlemen were then ap pointed a committee on resolutions: Dr. S S.
