WILL TRY HIS OLD PULL.
Negro Republican VIII EndeaVor to
Save Collector Tolbert.

Seymour Smith, the negro deputy
collector and cashier Of the department
Of customs at Charleston, has gone to
Washington in the interest of Collector
Of the Port Tolbert and Deputy Collee-
tor Ostendorf. Smith is the negro
who was imported from Aiken as the
successor Of Mr.. George Milligan short
ly after Gel. Tolbert succeeded Capt.
George D Bryan as collector Of the
port. Smith has been prominent in
the councils Of the Republican party
in the upper part CT the State, and he
was one CT the delegates to the conven-
tion which nominated President Nc
Kinley. He is thought by some Of the
Republican party workers to have a
pull with the powers. 1t is because Of
this alleged pull that he has gone to
Washington, according to the rumor in
circulation, to save the official heads Of
Col. Tolbert and Capt. Ostendo1f and
other subordinate officials, if the heads
are really in jeopardy because Of the
recent violation Of the customs regula-
tons and the dispensary law, ia the
storing of the centrsbsad liquors in the
custom house. The Washington cor
respondent of the Charleston Evening
Post telcgraphed the following report
Wednesday afternoon:
Gen. SpaldiHg. assistant secretary
Of the treasury, in response to my in
quiry, states he has just read report Ga
custom house matter, bat he has moth
ing to give out at present." 1t will be
seen from this telegram that the de-
partment now has the report Of Dir.
Macatee ana it remains to be seen what
action the department will take.
A dispatch fren Washington says
the secretary Of the treasury has re-
received report fron the special
agent who has conducted the investiga-
tion Of the reported use of the custom
house at Charleston for the storage Of
contrabsnd liquors for Illicit sales. A
number Ct officers and employees Of the
custom house were asked for an ezpls-
nation Of the finding Of the liquor, but
all diclaimed having any knowledge
concerning it except one Of the night
men who admitted having allowed some
Of his friends to keep the liquor there.
Other testimony disclosed information
which led the oScers making the in
vestigation to believe that the liquor
belonged to a certain individual in
Chariesto who has Wholesale liquor
dealers license. The conclusion Of
the officials is that a certain deputy
collector is responsible for the storing
of liquors in the custom house and that
several employees had full knowledge
of it. The report is accompanied by
copies Of the testimony taken. The
treasury officials have taken no action
in regard to the matter but there seems
to be no doubt that the guilty parties
will be immediately brought to Justice.

Juas tia Man ThaE Want.

The New York World pretends
to believe that the nomination
Of William Mckinley for a Sec
ond presidential term can be pre-
vented. We doubt if The, World
believes any such thing. If it
does, it is entitled to the medal
for simplicity. William McKin-
ley is the inevitable nominee of
his party for thenextpresidency.
He will be nominated by accla-
nation. No other name will be
meationed above a whisper in
the national Republican conven-
tion. The World admits that for
two years past the denomination
of Mckinley has seemed certain,
but asks ifthe events Of the last
two months have not given q
new aspect to the matter. The
World adds:
"Republicans by the tens OF
thousands, loyal to the party and
of the intelligence and character
that have given it it's strength,
are moved to contempt and
scorn by the base dickering and
dealing of Hanna the 'fat-fryer,
are huniliated by the wabbling
and somersaulting Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Must these honest,
sinking Republicans confess
that they are powerless? Can
they not compel the selection of
another candidate than this
weak and vacillating and COM
plaisant and therefore the more
dangerous agent OF the
forces Of militarism and
monopoly: Can they not compel
the selection of a true ropresen-
tstive Of historic Republicanism
a free, courageous candidate:
a Man?'
The Atlanta Journalsays that
all The World saysfabout the
great and growing disafection
toward Mckinley in the Repub-
ican party is true, but The
World seems to forget that the
Republican party is ridden, con-
trolled and guided by bosses,
and fb at tho hoo1oo oro for No
Kinley. They are for him be-
cause they can control him He
is just the man they want and
they will put him in the lead.
Those Republicans who are sore
and kicking over McKinleyism
viii either have to take the
medicine which the bosses pre-
scribe or leave the party. Near
ly all of them will do the former.
They are used to it.

The Democrats Win.

The Kentucky Court of Ap-
peals has decided the governor
ship Of that State infavor of the
Democrats. The opinion is by
six of the judges, four Demo
Gratis and two Republicans. One
Republican, Durelle, dissented.
Judge Durells was the only
judge dissenting. The other two
Republican judges, Burnam
and Guffey, gave seperate
opinion from the Democratic
judges, but which agrees with
the Democratic members in its
conclusion. Judge Hobson
wrote the opinion Of the court.
The concurrence of Judges Bur-
nam and Gufey with the four
Democratic judges was a sur
prise generally, but to the Re-
publicans especially, and there
is much speculation now as to
whether the talked-of appeal to
the supreme court will be prose
euted. The opinion holds that
the action of the Legislature N
seating Governor Beckham was
final and that the courts have no
power to review it; that Cover
nor Taylor exceeded his author
ity in adjourning the Legislature
to London and that the journals
of the two houses Of the legisla-
ture, being regular, cannot be
impeached. The Republicans
may now try to get a hearing
before the United States supreme
court.

A Boomerang,

Dswey'g announcement that
he is a candidate for the presi-
dency is likely to prove a boone
rang to those gold-bugs who in
duced him to make it. Accord
ing to the Washington CORES
pondent Of the Atlanta Journal
the scheme was engineered by
Colonel Hugh G. Wallace, of the
state of Washington, e1-Secre-
tary William G. Whitney and
Hon. Daniel Lamont. It first
took shape at the Whitney din
ner in New York some weeks
ago. Its purpose was to disor-
ganize the Bryan Democracy.
At the time Dewey had not been
consulted and Wallace was dele
gated to approach the admiral.
Just before the Deweys went
south Wallace called on the ad-
p1iral, and stated the PROPOSE
tia and assured him that it
would be possible to capture
the Kansas City convention by
keeping the scheme quiet until
the proper time to spring it.
Dewey discouraged the idea but
frankly admitted that he would
aid any movement to defeat
Mckinley. When the admiral
and Mrs. Dewey returned from
the south, Wallace approached
him again and this time he took
the matter under advisement.
Lamont called at the Dewey
home and was in conference
with the admiral for an hour.
Mrs. Dewey was in this confer
ence, and advised her husband
to become a candidate. It was
agreed at the time that the an
nouncement should be made
only indirectly until the effect
Of the suggestion could be
tested. After Lamont had re-
turned to his hotel the admiral
sent for Charles S. Albert, the
chief of The Worlds Washing
ton staff, and gave to him the
dictated interview. The idea of
the engineers of the movement
was to ascertain if the Dewey
announcement would meet with
such popular favor as to carry
the country by storm, and at
least deadlock the Kansas City
convention with the possibility
of either nominating him or
nominating some one other than
Bryan. Dewey on the other
hand is bitter toward Mckinley,
as is also Mrs. Dewey, largely
for personal reasons, and he is
willing now to head an indepen-
dent movement if he can draw
enough Republican votes to as
sure even Bryan's election. His
candidacyhas fallen fiat. His pro
moters are unwilling for him to
head any movement that might
assist instead Of detract from
Bryan, and there is already a
threatened split between the
new candidate and those re-
sponsible for his candidacy. All
factions are now waiting for de-
veiopnlents before making an
other move. If after the first
wave of disapproval and resent
ment the reaction is in favor of
Dewey he will be urged by the
Lamont faction to continue his
race, and go to Kansas City a
candidate. If on the other hand
it has been seen that there is
absolutely no possibility to cap
ture the regular Democratic
nomination, the question of his
heading an independent ticket
will be discussed, and decided
upon its possible results. In the
meantime Dewey says he is a
Democrat. There is not the
slightest probability thathe can
capture the Kansas City con7en-
ton, and if Dewey runs as an
Independent it is frankly ad-
mitted that on his platform he
will poll the anti-administration
Republicans and elect Bryan.

Majesty at Charleston, who has been

the suferings Of certain of his fellow
co1ntrymen who are reported 90 have
been badly used iR the phosphate
mines Of South Carolina, has received
the following letter and report from
Governor McSWeeney:
The Hon. G.. Sottile, Consular Agent
of Italy, Charleston, S. C.-Dear Sir:
Yours Of the 4sh received. The natter
about which you complain | will take

Februsry last one Filippo Bonavitacol-
Is and one Frank Vecostria, both Itsl-
iaps, became involved in quarrel at
the store kept By one Frank Pigzo, an
Italian; that 8 personal difficulty fol-
LEVIED, in which tho deceased, Filippo
Boravitacolla, WAS shot and killed by
Domenieo. I examined all the per-
sons who saw the shooting, and from
their testimony I infer that it was 3
clear case of self-defense. Immediate
ly sitter the shooting Donenice Yiscas-
tria escaped and has not been heard
FROM since, though it seems every effort
wss made to capture him. I an IN
formed that MIR. Matthew Hertz, Who
has charge Of the mining operations st

killing, employed two detectives to
capture and bring back the said Dome

over the dead body Of Filippo Bona
