Salisbury It Didn't Work. j It is not generally known that the Republican convention last Satur day was not so unanimously prear ranged to work as it did, as the re ports were led to believe. Chairman Holton had put his finger on the button and had expect ed the convention 'to do the rest. But it didn't. The matter stood this way. It is conceded that Mr. Holton bears no excess of love for 'Pritchard. And it is believed that he is only .flirting with Dockery. Well he pulled wires around Rowan for several days be fore the convention and (was pretty confident that his scheme to send Rowan delegates to the j State con vention uncommitted would prove successful. But he reckoned with out his host. It seemed for a short while before the convention that a fight must be precipitated ; for among the supporters of Holton's plans was Capt. John . Ramsay, chairman of the convention. But the McKinlevrPritchard-Dockefy re- solutions went through with a whoop and Chairman Holton suffered another defeat. rmn3sxmmVmlL our. new ' gallery, opposite Central hotel.
