as to be in season TO nominate q candi
date for Superintendent of Public In.
struction for the April election. Now
this is just as necessary as any othe n
nomination that may be made by such
Convention: and as to the particular sea
son for the Convention, it makes little
difference, and if any difference exists,
il is rather in favor of the dry season oil
February, then the wet and muddy one
of May, even if the latter month shall
be some warn er. II The time when
il would come round should be unusually
cold, there would be as good chance of
attendance, as in spring month. if moi
better. In winter such objects receive
more attention than in the spring, when
the world begins to grow busy. naviga
ton opens and trade IS revived. Now,
gentlemen. is the time to conclude. -
The Chairman is ready at any lime 10
call Convention, whenever il is signi-
fed by the Press. Let US hear. then,
