Chicago was voted for on the final
round by all the distinguished Democrats
upon the committee. Clark Howell, Sen
ator German. Josiah Quincy of Massa-
chusetts, William +. Shechan of New
York, William +. Harrity of Pennsylva-
MIA. Bradley b. Smalley of Vermont, T..
&. Wall of Wisconsin and others promi-
nent in national or State affairs, all voted
for Chicago.
The understanding is that the Chicago
delegation will be expected TO have Il GER
tilted check for $4,000 ready for the cX-
c%cutive committee when it arrives in Chi
cago three weeks hence. This will be
turned over to the committee. with the
keys to the convention hall. and then the
Chicago delegation will step down and
out and leave the entire management of
the convention in the hands of the ma
| tional committee.
There is to be no appointing of ser
| geant-at-arms or other officers by the Chi
| cage people, and no claim for large mum
bers of tickets with which the convention
hall can be packed. Everything is to be
left absolutely to the national committee.
1t is expected that that committee will
allot a certain number of tickets to the
| Chicago people, but how many or upon
what terms has not been decided. The
| Chicago delegation was quite willing 10
leave that matter in the hands OF the
national committee, content with getting
the national convention and pre:erring to
| place the responsibility for its manage
ment in the hands of that organization.
and thus avoid any criticism as to mis-
management, such as has been made
with reference to a. former Democratic
convention held in that city.
After the locator had been decided
upon the committee promptly took up the
question of the date for holding the con
v%ention. and the issue was soon SHARPLY
defined by two motions. one to hold it
June = and another that it be held July Z.
The vote resulted % to IL in favor of
July Z.

ances strongly points to a great deal
Of politics being mixed up with the
report of the special committee OF
the grand jury. There may have
been some irregularies; there doubt
less were, out there is no shadow OF
a doubt but what mole hills have

is safe to assert that there has never
been an official in South Carolina,
or for that matter in any other State,
nor will there ever be, but what some
slight irregularities could be found
upon which to base charges before
the grand jury. It does not follow
of course that the officer is guilty Of
any intention to commit fraud nor
to violate the law, nor even incom-
petent in the discharge of duty. 1t
is the duty of the grand jury to
bring to the attention of the court
ali infractions of the laws coming
under their knowledge, whether will
fully and maliciously committed or
otherwise and in the discharge Of
this duty it should receive the ap-
proval of the people. 1t is equally
the duty of the people to withhold
their Judgment until the alledged
facts can be investigated by court
of competent Jurisdiction, by this
way the innocent will not be made
to needlessiy suffer and the guilty
receive the punishment due their
crimes. Already two of the men
charged with committing fraud IN
returning taxexecutions as nulla bona
after having collected the amount,
have unequivocally and positively
denied the charge through the pub
lie prints and doubtless there will
be many others who will do likewise.
