The Telegraph Problem.
The telegraph problem is always
serious one with each of the COM
panies This is especially so when
the convention is held in West
ern city, for there they have to
contend against the handicap of time the
great mass of telegraphic matter being
sent East TO The great cities along the
Atlantic seaboard which are from one
hour TO two hours behind. When the con-
venton was held in Minneapolis IN 1892
IL was found that the facilities were in
adequate. Complaints were thick that
newspaper dispdtc hes were delayed for
hours and in some instances the dis
T7tches sent at night for morning news
papers were not received until some time
The next day. II was en- emergency which
had 10 be met quickly, and after the irst
night the Western Urion Company ship
ped forty extra men from CHICAGO to
Milwaukee so as to hasten matter IN re-
Laws.
The cost OF reporting a convection Is
something enormous A met opolitan Jour
nal which has a force CT twenty men is
put to an expense of at least 81 600 ray
for the week OF the convention. In come
cases the expense far exceeds this figu e.

of this at press rates by wire is half
cent a word. 1t costs to keep a man at
the convention about 80 day. and where
special headquarters are secured the ex-
travagant charge for rent must be added
The incidental expenses can hardly be os-
timated But il is safe 10 say that the
cost to the newspapers Of the country
of reporting each National Convention Is
a least 10000.
Nearly a Week of Hustling.
The great newspaper work of a conven-
ton usually begins on the Sunday preced-
ing the day of meeting. The Philadelphia
Convention this year will meet on Tues
day, the Kansas City Convention on Wei
nesday. and each convention will probably
continue in session till the clo-e of he
week
With some newspapers the work Of re-
porting the conventions is in charge OF
the Washington correspondents, wto are
selected naturally for their task on ac-
count Of their familiarity with public msn
and with political currents. Fer each CT
the National Conveniicus held in the West
one of the trunk railroad lines ge"e'al y
placed al the disposal of the Washing on
corps newspaper train, which carries
them to and from the convention city.
This train is turned entirely over to the
correspondents, and they decide VINO arc
entitled to travel on IL and make all Other
regulations. 1t is so timed as o reach
the convention ciiy at least two days re
fore the gathering meets and it usually
carries al least one hundred men.
The report of the routine proceedings
of national convention is the least diff
cult work which a seasoned correspondent
has to undertake Skill and experience
count in keeping watch Of the preliminary
work, only the obvious result of which
appears in the convention hall. There are
few things more mystifying than TO at
tempt to follow the innumerable combine
tions and deals which are continually be-
ing formed. The delegations from forty
four states are constantly meeting. The
men who direct policies and who shape
ambitions never cease their work Where
there is a contest for the presidency or
question about platforms schemes are

BRYAN Is COMING.

Columbia State.
The State has very great pleasure to-
day in printing the news that on Thurs
day next William Jennings Bryan will
come to Columbia To address the gen
eral assembly and the people of South
Carolina on the national issues of the
year. No State is more loyal than
South Carolina to the cause Mr.. Bryan
represents, and no people hold for him
higher respect and admiration than
ours. We know the strength of the
vast interests arrayed against him and
the principles he advocates, but we
finch no more than he does from the
struggle, and like him we will do our
appointed duty with faith III the tr-
umph OF right.
In Columbia Mr. Bryan will be in the
house of his friends. Let Us make him
feel this; let Us give him a reception
which will honor the city and the State
and the great party of which he is the
unchallenged head. The State has
shown the character of the prepara-
tons made for him in other States: they
convey the broadest hint of what We
should do here to welcome him.
'Bryan's day" in Columbia should be
a day for the Democracy of the whole
State. Arrangements for special .eXcur-
sions and special rates should be made
at once with all the railroads centering
here. If this shall be done we will have
great gathering of the Democrats Of
South Carolina, few of whom have ever
had the opportunity of hearing the man
OF their choice and their hope. With
sufficient notice and sufficient railway
accommodations Columbia will lie crowd
ed on Thursday.
A joint committee of the Legislature
has been appointed to take charge OF
the arrangements. but there should be
committee representing the city TO
cooperate with it. We hope that Mayor
LlrScomb will today appoint such Il
oommittee-an ample one-embracing
prominent citizens as well as members
Of the council There is much TO be done.
and their aid, we are sure, will be ap-
preciated by the legislative committee.
The city Democratic organization should
also cooperate. and. if it were possible.
the State Democratic committee besides.
organs day" will be Il Democratic oc-
casion, and the party organization should
he in evidence.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
club should be able to contribute to
the success of the day 1t might be
possible to arrange an informal recep-
ton to Mr. Bryan in the rooms Of this
business mems organization.
1t cannot vet be announced how Ions.
Mr.. Bryan will remain in Columbia
but We hope his stay will be for day
and Il night. If the weather permits
there should be an open air meeting in
addition to amy which may be held III
the capitol. We do not think that Bry-
an can be let off with less than two
speeches: and no three halls in the city
are large enough to accommodate those
who will want to hear him. He is ac-
customed to such hard service. and
South Carolina can't hear too much from
