The State, 1st inst.
Gov. McSwesnsy has returned
the designations of the senator's.
This action created as much of a
sensation as the Gaffncy episode
itself.
There were NUM- er of letters
awaiting the governors arrival
from Chickamauga, and everv one
which touched upon the senatorial
rumpus begged him to take some
action to prevent campaign this
summer. The governor stated
that he is himself opposed to
campaign in an off year.
To representative of The
State he said: "These gentlemen
| see by the newspapers are un-
able to agree upon the terms of
the resignation. One wants cam
paign in August and the ether
considers that the canvas cannot
be held before the 18th of Septem-
bsr. The people of the State have
appealed to nae to return the
designations, and l have done SO.
If they want to resign the offices,
let them say SO and make the
resi- ignations effective Immediately
| would appoint their sue ,essors
in less than two minutes and a
half"
The governor stated that all
sorts of propositions had been
made, but he thought this t'e
best course. He had heel ap-
preached to tender his resignation
as governor in order to become
senator himself and to let Lieut..
Gov. Jas. H. Tillman become
governor, and he had also been
urged to accept the reslgratlon,
the vacancies to be supplied upon
the result of the Democratic pri-
mary.

we believe it can be shown that
they are unconstitutional. They

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1901.

1t looks to us, taking the most
charitable view, that Senator
Tillman was afraid of the move
ment inaugurated bv McLaurin
and was anxious to check it before
it could be thoroughly discussed
and studied by the people. Else
why did he not wait until cam
paign year for the primarya The
two senator's could have had their
JOINT debate if they desired it
without resigning: but Tillman
wants to down McLaurin now
before the ideas he advocates have
time to develop, thinking by that
means to scotch the movement for
a more progressive Democracy in
this state. -Newnerry Observer.

Some Say McSweeney Did Wrong
Majority Approves.

Columbia, S. c., June L.
Regardless of politics the people
of South Carolina with almost
unanimous voice endorse the ac,
ton of Governor McSweeney IN
taking position which blocks the
scheme to have a political cam
palgn this summer or any other
time this year. This fact is stat
ed because the press of the State
before his action was taken advis-
ed linn to do what he has done
and it generally represents the
wishes of the people.
Besides this many citizens in
every walk of life and from every
part of the State wrote him urgent
letters to act as he did. His own
views conceded with theirs, and
1t Is safe to say, Governor Nc
Sweeney has done nothing during
his 9ubernatnral career which has
met with more general approval.
The governor has been the
recipient today of many personal
congratulations on the part of the

from other parts of the State

all the desks that it can contain,
and in two the teachers can bare

room with space enough for forty,
and not sufficient light and venti-
latlon for that, many often has to
seeve for fifty five or sixty pupils.

The Primary course aims to in

Your excellency, of course, has
the right aud it is entirely proper

wise more serious. consideration.
In declining to accept, l am sure
you have transcended your au>
thori,y. 1t will take very little
investigation and reflection to
convince you of this. You can,
not compel member of the
United States senate to hold his
commission and exercise the func-
tions of that office if he chooses
to surrender it. My action in
rendering my resi- gnation, while
hasty, was not ill advised, and l
am firmly convinced of the wis
dom of my course upon reflection.
Personally, l had nothing to
gain and every thing to lsse, and
| did not feel the need of further
instructions or vindication, be-
cause l had Jsst been reelected by
the people with practical un-
animity. l offered to resign, in
order to bring about the resigna-
tion of my colleague and thus put
us on a level, with equal rights
to go before the people and ask

reasoning set forth IL YOU excel

CHICAGO'S POLICE TRIAL
DECISION OF THE COMMISSION MAY
BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S-After both sides
had concluded this evening in the civil
service investigation of the city detective
bureau account scandal Capt. Luke P.
Colleran, chief of detectives, at his own
request, took the witness stand.
The chiefs testimony, while as a whole,
shielding the detective bureau, practically
sacrificed Lieut.. Joyce, who is on trial
Colleran testified that if Joyce made out
the expense account, knowing Tracy was
in Chicago and had never left for Cleye-
land, he was guilty of making an i'm
proper report, and if Joyce did not know
the whereabouts of Tracy at the time in
question, he WAS guilty of neglect of duty.
Commissioner Powell asked the questions
which placed Colleran in a position where
ne had to sacrifice his lieutenant or bear
the brunt of the neglect. This ended Capt.
Colleran's testimony.
Chief of Police 0Neill's evidence, which
was resumed at the opening of the ses-
sion in the morning, was mostly in re-
buttal of the testimony given yesterday
by Lieut.. Joyce, the officer on trial, and
tended to contradict most of Joyce's
statements.
The commission adjourned until Friday
morning to consider the evidence. 1t is
possible decision may be rendered on

ALDERMANIC COMMITTEE ON

BITTER FIGHT TO BE MADE
The Commercial Club Is Actively In

The suppression of the hotel runner
will be the principal item of business
to be transacted at the meeting of the
committee on streets of the board of
aldermen this afternoon. AT the last
meeting the consideration of this question
was made a. special order of business,
and it is expected that the discussion will
be of a lively order. The proposed cru

on an ordinance repeating the law Civ

fathered by the commercial interests of

Though the commercial interests are
almost a unit in demanding the passage
of Aid. Knauft's ordinance, taking away
the runners rights to solicit business,
the hotel men are preparing for fight,
and have retained an attorney to look
after their interests. They claim that
they are not as bad as they are painted
and will put up the plea that the craft
should not be made to suffer for the sins
of a few
Many Of the aldermen favor the pas
sage of an ordinance doing away with
the runner, but there is a number who
cannot see it in this light, claiming that
runners will exist just he same, and that
the city nigh as well license them.
They claim that brakemen and con-
ductors on a number of the trains en-
tering the city do soliciting as side
line, and make a comfortable living out
of it. Some of the aldermen propose an
ordinance that would provide a heavy
fine and the prompt resembling of the
license in case any of the runners were
caught practicing disreputable methods.
AT the meeting this afternoon a COM
mittee from the Commercial club will be
present to ask for the suppression Of
the runner. The club has taken the mat
ter in hand energetically, and after
careful study of the whole question has
decided that the runners should be done
