' Wilmington, N. U.N
Convention!!
The Legislature have passed the Conven
ion bill and the question must, be submit-
cd to the ' people of "Convention or. No
Convention." The wise acre of the "Coi -
iervHtiven conventioners have declared that
t
restricted" convention
is the 7 one thing
needful, and to go before the people. f
Npw' no man who values his reputation as
lawyer will, confess for a moment that any
jrestriction can hold' in an - assembly of the
people 'caliect as this Convention lias been.
rhee is no such thiug a restriction, and
tie before; have written that an "un restrict -sd
Convention would be accepted u&;ts;
sve now declare that we accept 1 the sitna
lion and advise Republicans to run candt-r'
dates and vote For Convention. ; ,
Thus iloes the Old North StaterjcU:x tour
position : '
! The Wilmington Post admits that its par.,
made a great mistake in opposing the
11 jot a Convention in a Constitutional
manoer, .And rexpressea snjprise "at th e w an t
generalship on the part of its own party
eaders.' JIt saysT; : --y- -4Our
friends made a mistake. The poli
cy for the Ilelormed Republican party is to
demand an uurestricted convention, and go
before the .people and carry the State,
liew men will spring up, and , new issues

jThe Post is right, as we have told it from
he beginning. The Convention card is
te highest card in the hand of its party,
jtbe only one it could play with the slightest
ppe of winning.
