The Republican County Convention,
The republican county con
vention which met Tuesday 6f
last week elected J. W McNeilfe
chairman and E. M. Blackburn
secretary. The follqiyinggdel
egates were selectefffbWe
several conventions:
State convention J, R. Hen

L. P. Somers, J

Tedder, J C Ellis, W A Tharp.

The convention endorsed E
Spencer Blackburn for Con
gress, and J W McNeill for
Solicitor. The following reso
lution was passed:
We, the Republicans of Willses county ,'h
convention assembled do hereby most hearti
ly endorse the course of oar member of Co)n
greas, Hon. E Spencer Blackburn, especially
in maintaining- the rural free delivery of mU
and having secured the passage of a bjl
through a committee to establish a Federal
court at Wilkesboro. We commend him coal
x -
mend him to all loyal republicans and demo
crats who fnvor houest government and ate
opposed to the methods of ballot box stuffing

Signed by the committee, T. S. Bryan, J. P.
EOedge, O. H. Somers.
FootNotes.
The convention was entirely.
harmonious it was cut and
I d riecTwifch harmonr" hone7
others there.
The biggest speech was made
by the floor manager who in
melting tones of eloquence ex-
claimedj "Hon. Mr. Speaker,
rise and get up tor the exalted
purpose of instructing the del
egates to vote for Jim McNeill
to the Judiciary." It carried
with a whoop just before the
"judiciary was exhausted.' J
It was funny when some del
egate not thoroughly trained
by the managers moved to in
struct for Col. Dula for Sena
tor. The chair made a speech
saying there were other candi
date's and the delegation ought
to go uninstructed. He gave
Lieut. Henderson the wink and
he moved accordingly, saying
that as U. S. Com. he had in
vestigated the law and it was
wrong to instruct tor JJuia,
especially when the chair him
self had a hankering for the
same nomination. Henderson's
motion carried and Dula was
turned out with "the dry
cattle."
The endorsement of E.Spenf
cer by the republican conven
tion is incomplete in
fails to thank him for
fully killing the bill
establishment of a
court here at the- time when
there was a chance for its pas
sage. That bill he afterward
introduced is not worth the
paper it is on. This Congress
will never touch it and Spence
knows it.
