Wm. R. Teujxy,
Secretary.
EprroB Post; Many of my Republican
friends have spoken and written to me to
inform them,: what representation the seve
ral Townships and Wards are entitled to in
the June nominating Convention
A satisfactory answer is difficult to arrive
at. The County Committee ordered that
the popular vote for Grant shall servo as a
basis,-'! arid a delegate bo ailbwed XbKcveri
one u unurea votes casted, and one tor every
fraction of a hundred over fifty. For in
stance: A township that polled one hundred
and fifty-seven votes is entitled to two dele-
atcs, ; but it one hundred and forty-nine
votes, only one delegate. K
The 'popular Vote for Grant, iu the coun
ty, was three thousand nine hundred and
sixty-eght, therefore the Convention must
be composed of forty delegates. Wilming
ton casted two thousand three hundred and
one of i the above votes, -and the cbuntv one
thousand six hundred and sixty-seven, which
give3 the county seventeen; delegates and
the City twenty-three. ' !
The election for President was conducted
under the old political division of the eoun-
ty, which creates a serious; difficulty in ar
riving at the proper representation from the
towships of Caswell, l Franklin, Lincoln
Union, iColumbia, Harnett and Grant from
the fact that the! precincts of Lower Black
River and -Topsail were .destroyed in the
erection of towpships. This matter must
be adjusted by the Obunty ExeOutiVe Com-
mittce, and I will insist, on the Chairman of
the sarrie to attend to the matterforthwith
and inform tho "sub-committees.
The quota of the Wards 1 requires the at
tention 'of the City Committee, by reason ot
the creation ot a new Ward. The delega
tion from the townships mot mentioned
above are as ; fallows: Federal 'Point,;! ;
Masoubbro, 1 ; Cape Feiir, 1 ;s II olden, 3,
and Holy,l i f ;
I desire to answer these inquiries thus
publicly so as to call the attention of our
Executive Committee; to the fact that some
adjustment iriust be. made forthwith. I
mention figures! from memory yet I am
certain that I am coTrcct.. , ,
