EDITORIAL CONVENTION. Democrat
81 yesterday, in speaking of proposed Con- ,
Tention Of the editors Of Northern Ohioi to |
axe into consideration the difficulties under
which the country press labor, and adopt
"wnys and means" for their removal, uses
The following language: Il
8 We hope, pursuant to the suggestion Of
the Painesville Telegraph, meeting of the
Reserve editors, and the counties adjoining
at lie ssl, without distinction of party, will
soon be held, when we hope the matter of
advance pay, as well as other important and
vital matters to the country press, will be
duly and carefully Consdered--and, we trust
If the meeting is held in Cleveland that our |
city contemporaries will favor US with their |
counsels ard experience.
What say the editors Of the country press,
in the territory indicated Shall we have
such meeting for mutual consultation in re-
ference to securing uniformity of action in
the promotion of cur common interests
The proposition meets our cordial uppro.
val, and we hope the Convention will be
held at an early day. The credit system,
like q cancer, is eating away the energies of
editors of country newspapers, and self.pre-
servation demands that the remedy should
be applied before il is too late. Let us get
together and talk over our grievances, adopt
measures for their redress and rel;giously
adhere to them.
