Der OF prominent Democratic business
men of Charleston petitioned for re,
appointment of Mr.. Harris. There is
an interesting story back of il all
ihere were Democratic aspirants for
the postmastership and several Repub-
licans who had long lived in Charleston
and had the respect of the community
also desired the plum. On the face of
it, it seems queer that the Democratic
business men should have endorsed a
newcomer like Harris. The reason
why they did 80, as 1 get it was that
they were led to believe that unless
Harris got the postmastership the ap-
pointment would go to negro prob
ably DIR. Crum. No wonder the Dem
ocratic business men of Charleston
promptly endorsed Harris. They would
endorse almost any white man in pre-
ference to letting the office go to
negro. But Harris hackers went fur
ther and attempted to get j. Gilmore
Martin ard others of 1ilmau's Char
lesion friends to PULL HIM off of Harris.
The redoubtable senior Senator is re-
ported TO have said he favored local
self-government, but If the people of
Charleston did not care about 1T, there
was no use for him TO keep up his
fight.
so the Harris appointment was
held up until Congress adjourned
When the Senate meets again, Harris
will have resided in the State year
and will be citizen, 80 that point can
not then be made against him. 1t is a
shrewd and well planned move.
But, 10 show how willy politicians |
are, should speak of the other
phase of the question. Capers is said
TO justify the appointment of Harris
with the assertion that Harris was
the only available Republican and
unless he got the postmastership the
would have to go to a
Democrat. And yet 1T is alleged that
in the early months of this year, be.
fore he had postoffice aspirations,
Harris described himself as a sHlli
Democrat Be that as 1t may, Re.
publicans in Charleston are sore that
old-line:s Ike Mansfield and Wheeler
should be passed over for the benefit
of an outsider like Harris. The negro
republicans of Charleston are partlcu.
arly sore over the means alleged to
nave been used to secure for Hams the
endorsement of Democratic business
nen. They control the machine in
charleston and no one can 20 to the
county Republican convention or come
rom that county to the State conven-
ion without their support. Capers
has earned their enmity and will have
