Conventions in Cabarrus county
are interesting events. All ages are
made happy when the -boll rings on
convention days. The Standard
on Monday, from returns, fore
shadowed beyond a probable doubt
what the slate would tell about the
nominees lor the county oilicers. In
point of members the primaries
came nearer voicing the sentiment
and will of the people than any
convention ever 'before held in Ca
barrus county." Out of a voting
Democratic population (1,(45 for
Howie for Governor in 1SSG),9S2
voters assembled at their respective
vo'ing precincts on the 10th, and in
convention assembled registered
their will. It is done. What the
people do must, in a government
like ours, be right.
THE CONVENTION.
The convention made J. II. Mor
rison permanent chairman and J. B.
Sherrill and Jas. P. Cook, secreta

The convention adopted a resolu
tion endorsing Z. 1. Vance, and in
structed the representative in the
Legislature to vote for Vance first,
last and all the time.
Th nominations were all made
unanimous, and are as found iu an
other column.

raises cotton and never did wear
nose glasses. The people have never
sent him anywhere, but efforts will
be made to put him in jiil about the

siderably off. His height is six feet,
his complexion red, and he don't
part his hair in the middle. While
employed in the Farmers' Store his
easy grace and handsome physique
gave liim quite a reputation, especi
ally among the fairer sex. Notwith
standing all this, Mr. White does not
advocate "woman's suffrage." He is
not married nor likely to be. He is
reported ' as saying (when he was
canvassing in the country) that if
he ever led any one to the matrimo
nial altar it would be a girl who be
longed to tho Alliance. He never
carries a walking cane, and despises
dudeism. Mr. White will weigh
Cabarrus eountyVeotton, his scales
will always be right, and when he is
weighed iu the balances he will not
be ''found wanting." He is a strong
friend of the farmers and their cause,
and if it were necessary to prove his
love for agriculture he would wear
a suit of cotton sacking all his life.
JOHN HEXliY LONG
has held the office of county surveyor
for four years. When he was elected
he was a citizen of Union county.
Since that time, however, he and his
son have swapped houses aud he is
in Cabarrus. He still has his wash
ing done with Union county water,
and takes his instruments with him
every where, except to church. He
has a heavy beard, which is as white
as the snows of winter, and wears
boots at all seasons. He holds up
remarkably well for a man of his
age, being fifty-two years old. and
travels in a dog cart. He has a voice
soft enough for a woman, and often
brings it into play in teaching
singing school. Like all the
candidates, except one, Mr. Long is
a married man, and is surrounded by
a group of interesting children, some
of whom are small though Long.
