WANTED THE1+ CONVENTION HELD IN CHARLIiCSrON. The Committee Thought Otherwi+e-sena. tor Tillmnan Present--Fi.st Poltical Gathering of the Campaig.r Was - Held Last Thursday Night. The Call IFsued. [The State, 5th.] The State Democratic executive committee met in the office of tht Secretary of State last night and fixed the date for the meeting of the State convention. An effort was made to have the convention meet in Charleston, but some of the members thought they caught the odor of a "igger in the wood 'pile" and this proposition was voted down. At the meeting last night 20 of ( he 40 coun ties were represented. Senator Till man was here by virtue of his posni. tion as member of the national com mittee. Col Wilie Jones, chairman of the committee, presided, and Mr U. X. Gunter, Jr,,'the secretary, was also present.. The members present were: A. W., J.mnes, Abbeville; WV. W. - Williamse, Aiken; J. Perry Glenn, Anderson; S. G. Mayfield, Bamberg; G. Dun can Bellinger, Barnwell; S. G. Mc Coy, Berkeley; W. F. Stevenson, Chesterfield; Louis Appelt, Claren donr; L. J. Williams, Edgefield; T. H.

Wat son; Saluda; Altamont Moses, Sum ter; J. (I. Wilborn, York; U. X. Gunter, Jr., secretary; B. R. Til. man, member of the national Democratic executive committee. There was considerable discussion caused by the introduction of a reso lution by Mr. Magill that nio member be allowed td vote unless that miem her had been regularly electid. This was supported by Mr. W. D. Evanse, and Mr. Blease, Cot. Wharton and -Mr. Altamont Moses opposed the motion. Senator Tillman said in re ply to 'Mr. Moses that it is some: times the case that members of the INAU thought a few 3 struck out boldl town and sell.mc opeatedly since tl fashioned pokey berry.

Jones announced that the commit tee had received a request that the meeting of the State convention be hold in Charleston. He read a tele gram from Maj. J. 0. Hemphill, manager of the department of pro motiqn and publicity, offering the convention the use of an auditorium and assuring the members of a warm welcome. There was also a telegram frdm Capt F. W. Wagoner, president of the expositiou, in 'which he asked Senator Appelt and Mr. J. 0. Wil born to use their influence to have the convention meet in Charleston. In accordance with these invita tions, Col. Whaurton offered a resoln. t,ionu that the May convention of the State Democratic convention be held in Charleston. In supporting his resolutions, Col. Wharton spoke in glowing terms of the exposition and stated that the railroad fare from most of the towns in the State wvould bta lower to Charleston than to Co. luimbia on account of the exposition rates. The matter had been discussed among the members of the commit tee during the afternoon and it was pretty well understood that there was no serious objection to calling the convention to meet in Charleston. But the proposal was fought by a number of members of the commit tee. Mr. Blease offered a substitute for Col. Wharton's resolution. The resolutiori fixed Columbia.- as the place for meeting and the 21st of May as the date. In supporting his resolution, Mr. Blease spoke in high. est terms of Chairleston and the ex position, but it would be contrary to the spirit of the constitution of the Democratic party for the meeting to be held outside of Columbia. Mr. L. J. Williams said this would be a very radical stcep--fan.>the con vention to meet in Charleston. The railroad fare might be cheap, but there were other .expenses to con sider. Mr. Bollinger contended that the first thing to consider is whether or not it would benefit the Democratic party for the con'vention to meet in Charleston. He int.imated1 that cer.

Mr. Wharton again spoke in favor of Charleston. The constitution of the party is silent on the place of meeting, and this very silence shows that the wisdom of the members of the committee is relied upon. Mr. Appelt also favored Charleston. Mr. Wilborn explained how he had received a telegram from Capt. Wagoner. Senator Tillman asked if Mr. Wilborn had been fishing for an invitation. Mr. Wilborn then prod ded Senator Tillman. He spoke in warmest terms of praise of the ex. position and said that he felt his State pride drop a little when he looked upon this magnificent exposi tion and saw how poorly it is being patronized. By holding the coaven tion there, the State Democracy would endorse the exposition. He referred to the fight which Senator Tillman and the other congressman had made for ani appropriation for the exposi.. tion. Mr. Blease-And Senator Tiliman got it, too. Mr. Wilborn Got it in the neck. (Laughter.) Mr. Wilborn then wvent on to say that it had never been explained why St. Louis got $5,000,000 and Charleston could not get a few thousands. The reason of it is that we are Democrats down here and they are Republicans there, and that is why he,would like to see the Democrats of the State endorse the exposition. Mr. W. J. Stribling of Walhalla, said that the fare from that place would really be $2.50 cheaper to Charleston than to Columbia, but the other expenses would offset this difference. Furthermore the mem bers of the convention might fall into the hands of the Philistines-the blind tigers. Mr.-Ketchins of Fairfield, remarked banteringly that as this invitation had not come unsolicited, it had bet ter not be accepted. The motion was put and Mr. Blease's substitute to hold the con veution in Columbia was carried by a "ote of 21 to 7. The seven were: Cunninghain, Appelt, Traxler, Ma.. gill, Wharton, Watson and Wil born. As there are 400 members of thA convention, they would have had a lively time together in Charleston, and Columbia could spare the con vention for once.
