Stanly county leads off with the first nomination of a member of the next legislature. The democrats of that county nominate Hon. J. Milton Brown, whose seat in the senate is assured, from the district composed of Stanly, Anson, Union and Davidson. As Stanly and Davidson are entitled to the two senators this year and that district has a large democratic majority, Mr. Brown's seat in the senate is assured. He has served two terms in the house of representatives and as chief clerk of the senate in two legislatures. This is a good start the democrats have made in the way of a first class legislature. If the other counties follow the example set by Stanly we will have a legislature in which the people can repose perfect confidence.
