National Convention. After the candidates of
that Convention fairly in the field, let there
be State Convention, or general Mass Conven-
ton. for nominating candidates for Electors, and
for pcrfec,ing a State organization. The bene-
fetal results Of such course, we believe, would
far outweigh the trouble Of two Conventions
What say our brethren of The Republican press
Of the State to this course
" RAscALLY Posi- MASTERS" AND TIE MAILS
1t does not appear 10 Us that there has never
been time when there was Is much complaint
of the non-rccilt Of Mail matter as at present,
and we satisfied that printers suffer their
full share Of the perplexity. Our Milwaukee
papers, with the exception of tie Free Democrat
are received with a tolerable degree of regulari-
ty. Mr.. Booths papers are nearly all received,
lat some oftAem are from ten days to a month
old, VIXEN they arrive, and sometimes get
three or four at a time-somo from the east and
Others from the west. The Madison ArPts we
get Tri-weely, very regularly, but the Madi-
| son Journal and the GaIena 4dyertiscr (both
DaiIies) are received senIi-cccasionally-son
times coming packet full at once. On Satur-
last We received the Chicago Daily Tribune of
Friday, and at tie same time that of the 9Th
Ult. Such failures are Plerpexing. but we are
more disposed to bear them without murmuring
tlan We are the complaints Of our subscribers of
TIE rregularity of the Tribune. The following
is a specimen Of several letters we have received
Of late.
ED9Toi, TRIBUSE Il think it proper to in
form You that l don't chose to have the Tribune
sent any longer for the simple reason that it
comes irregularlv. Whether the fault is with
You or the Post Master, 1 cannot tell, but GER
tain II IS there isiniustice done me somewhere -
We have several subscribers at the same post
office of our friend. Some of them inform us
that they get the Tribune regularly while 9TH
ers, whose papers are sent in the same package
are not received as they should be.
/ gentleman informed us 4 few few DAYS
since that lie did not receive the Tribune more
/ than half the time. But said he Our Post
Master is a one horse merchant. and have more
/ than once had goods bought Nv my family at
! his store, sent home in a part Of the TfiJaaao
I with my name on it." He, Of course knew
where the fault was.
We take unwearied pains to have the 75i5,1ao
