Developing Politics,


Tuesday was an interesting day i'm Col
umhi.. Besides the meeting of the State
executive conmittc and its correspondence
with the conservative committee there was
Il gathering Of the r!Eman lca,!crs.
IL seems that Governor Tilman's friends
arc beginning to understand the need of
action and they gathered to form an tr.uni-
znilon 10" work in this campaign. Most
"t those pEc5cns arc Office holders or cam
dldalcS and they were invited by Mr..
lempkins the governors private secretary
York, Grccnv:llc anil Williamsburg, were
not represented.
The reports presented were very nattcr-
ing generality. The Charleston and Rich-
land representatives promised those c0un-
ties for lillman. Tic Sumter and New
berry men seemed 70 fear that their coun-
tics are for Sheppard. i c;tmi,aign com
mittcc iTas organized with Secretary Tomp-
kinS as chairman.
TIC Tilman people claim the State by
$4,000 Ma j'rity and say they will have
three -iOurlhs of the convention. Chair
imam Dibhlc says the conservatives arc now
ahead and he believes they will have the
State convention two TO one.
Meanwhile the alliance IN tho sixth dis
trict has named JOHN l.. McLaurin for
congress. State Senator Evans, of Chcs-
preserves an ominous silence, 1t is uucs-
tion whether Mr.. McIiaurin's place on the
Ti!lman tickc; will he offered Col. ID. 4
Townsend. w. &. Bcnct or Major Croft,
of Aiken. the latter hcilYr Il conservative.
w. j. Talbcrt is said to be pressing fora
definition Of the governors position il
the fight in the sixth district between him
self ard Geo. ID. Tilman, the governor 5
brother.
Altogether the situation in politics is l:c-
coming more interesting.
