A Laree Countv Convention Held
Last Saturday, and a Red-Letter
Day for Democracy.
Saturday was a red-letter day for the
Democracy of old Buncombe. At the
hour appointed the large court room was
filled with delegates from every precinct
and township in the county, who met to
select a ticket for freemen to yote for.
Owing to illness Capt. McLoud, chair
man of the county executive committee
was detained at home for some minutes,
but the time was profitably occupied bv
stirring addresses from Gen. Clingman
and Hon. Reuben McBrayer.
Mr. T. C. Starnes, a member of the ex
ecutive committee, called the convention
to order, and the representatives of the
Democratic press were made secretaries.
The roll of precincts and townships was
called and every one responded.
Capt. McLoud entering the hall at this
jupcture assumed the chair and addiessed
the convention at length, with more ani
mation than is usual, and with much ef
feet.
For permanent chairman Mr. T. C.
btarnes nominated Dr. W. J. Clontz, of
French Broad township, and he was
elected by acclamation. He was escorted

received a maionty of the vote cast m
the primaries fur oornner; but on objection
by Mr. E. D. Carter and others to thus
declare the result the convention decided
to vote by precincts and townships, giv
ing to each candidate his strength as de

maries were Drs. C. E. Hilliard, L. B
