AGAINST BRYAN AND SILVER.
Members of The South Carolina LeglSla-
ture Desire to Drop Both for the Cam
paign Of 1904.
The State.

If the present South Carolina leg
;slature had the editing of the last
two national Democratic platforms
for use in the coming campaign and
the naming OF a standard bearer,
the silver paramount issue would
be blue-penciled out entirely, aud
if either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Cleve-
land bobbed up as candidate he
would be tod to go way back and
sit down. While both men have
many admirers among South Caro-
lima legislators and their advice and
council would be treated with re-
spectful consideration, neither would
be allowed to dominate or control.
In a poll made by a representa-:
tive of The State Of both the senate
and house, only three members OF
the legislature were found who de-
sired the reahmation Of the plat
forms of 1896 and 1900. Three
others declined to express them
selves-Speaker Smith of the house
of representatives, Jeremiah Smith
and J. E. Beamguard, saying that
they had not given the matter suta-
cient thought to warrant express
sions for publication. Neither a
senator nor a representative advo-
Gated the nomination of either Mr..
Cleveland or Mr.. Bryan.
The poll was made for the New
York World, whick telegraphed lis

THE COMET has stated that in giving

cation Trustee Jackson acted solely
upon the advice of the committee APP
pointed by the county court. The
law provides that the trustee shall ad-

shall let the work to the lowest bidder.

acting asked him if he would be bound
by its findings. Being told that be

faith. 1t is proper TO state here that
the committee was appointed to save
the county money, not the delinquent
tax payer, and when THE COMET pro.
posed to do the work free of cost to the
county and look only to the delinquent
