Some questions

edit

1) The North Carolina Manual states that Robinson resigned from office on 10/13/1884. Is this an error? The article states that Robinson served the entire 4-year term.

2) The article states that Robinson was a candidate for U.S. House in 1886 in a disputed race. Had he already relocated by that time? He was living in the 9th Congressional District in NC, and in 1886 the incumbent Democrat Thomas D. Johnson was re-elected by a wide margin. Adding to the difficulty, Michael J. Dubin's book U.S. Congressional Elections 1788-1997 does not list James L. Robinson in the index as a candidate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chronicler3 (talkcontribs) 14:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
