'h' presence of a small puppy.
SOME OF THEM MAD.
Iho feelings of the Indgpen-
dent delegates is fairly we'll told
III the following from the after
noon repeater of the morning nom
ination:
Ut Is said that many who oppos-
cd the adoption of the resolutions
adopted by the convention last
night expressed this morning
themselves as glad that tho reso-
'utlons had boon adopted. Others
Sold that they were very much dis
satisfied and went homo Saving
that they would never come to
another Straightout convention.
that such conventions never do
anything of Importance. Othors
go SILL further and say that if O.
ticket is not nominated that thew
Will JON tho Republican ranks.n
a BIG GAME OF BLUFE.
me Register was the only paper
III South Carolina which really
gave the outcome of the Independ
cht caucus and what it all means.
All the other newspaper men OK,
ccpt those of this paper were in
The caucus and wcro bound to se-
crccy on everything except what
,he caucus desired that they should
have. The Reglstcr men were in
position to pick up ncws in any
way.
1T IS big gamc Of bluff which
the independents arc .,playing.
Th"y made thirty or forty speech.
cs on the question OF making nom-
nations, but tho straight question
was never reached and was never
voted ON. AS compromise a
sharp politician introduced the
resolutions published in The Re-
glstrr yesterday. 1t was 'oxplain-
cd IN the caucus that these rcsolu-
tl"nS would be crushers to the
Democratic Convention, and that
II the Convention irofuscd to carry
\"ut the resolutions it would COM
nit n great blnnder. If it adopt-
od the Chicago platform, as re-
Iqu"stcd, it would create the in-
preston that it had been forced to
| do what the Independents wanted.
! IT was further explained that if
the Convention declined to accept
the ..ChlcagO platform in full it
would release from their pledges
hundreds of Democrats who voted
in the primaries and feel bound
by them. If tho Chicago platform
was adopted and snub given to
the believers in the OcaIa demands
that would turn the advocates of
these demands against the Demo-
Gratis and their nominees. How
many other considerations induc-
rd the passage of the resolutions
IS Il matter for speculation. No
matter what the State Convention
did ON the question, it was argued,
1T would be put in Il bad hole.
Tho noNt point in the Indepcnd-
rnt programme was for the Exccu-
tive Committee to call another
State Convention to be held a week
or ten days after the Convention
to-day had adjourned. AT that
convention, if the Chicago plat
form had not been adopted, a full
State ticket would bc nominated.
All tho chances aro, no mattor
what the State Convention docs to-
day, that tho Independents will
be called together by thoir Execu-
tive Committee within ten daYs
and that thoy will hold another
convention and put out ticket.
Tho majority of tho mombors of
the Executive CommIttoo aro in
favor Of nominations. Another
thing about tho committee is that
tho rovcnuo department. Of tho
State is we'll represented on it.
Evory man appointed to position
in this State is moving heaven and
earth for 1ndopondcntism.
MEN FOR GOVERNOR.
