I he largest and most enthusiast
convention of Demoerats ever as
sembied Catawba eountv w«- 1 e'd
m Newton la»t Satuidav, Septembei
Ist. Its business was to nominate
members to the legislature and coun
ty officers. The candidates were
numerous, but the utmost harmony
and good fee ing [ revailed. The
men who had been the most pro
nounced candl bites a ere left fait -
est benind. an 1 the men who were
not candidates u' all. so 1 who almost
swore they would not accept nomi
nation-. were compelled to do so
At an early stage of the proceedings
it was evident that the farmers were
masters if the situation and meant
to monopolize the offices. The
country farmers were there in full
force, and having be#n thoroughly
aroused against law vers. doctors,
merchants, an 1 o! 1 ers of like habits
of life, it was no strain to inc'ude
those who rent out t > «-ii* farms ami
live in towns I iiev had lxen taught
to say. "So lawyer lr.-ed apply. and
they can i"d the doctrine a little fur
ther. ami decided that no town-man
need apply. I 1 ji -s rule was earned
so far as to nominate si so-called
"grade —a farmer and a doctor who
lives far awav down in the country,
and rarely ever comes to town (was
not even present at the convention),
over a thoi oughbred farmer, v. ho
ives ch seto ami is often in town.
But a good ticket was lion inated.
