sohodule called occasionally for time
only for the senatorial candidates to
speak and make their train.
THIS CHANGE NOT MADE.
Finally Mr.. Blease moved the
adoption of the schedules proposed
by Col. Jones. Before the vote was
taken Senator Manning moved to
have the State schedule substituted
for the senatorial schedule, the effect
OF this motion being to take the ini
tial senatorial meeting to Sumter IN
stead Of Columbia, though he did
not say 80. He said he had no other
desire in the matter than that one of
the senatorial candidates had told
him he would rather have the open
