Wofk, money and I'astaaan zea-a great ef-
pcnee OF Wano, 3nK paper, con7ennonlng
ana sIeecn-mak1ng; ana 70 tnink Of spend
ing fhe~Snnmcr IN thls way, with terrific
war raging In the land, and -partisanship and
patriotism msng1ing together, Is distressing
to contemplate: THEY Would avoid all this
by going On with the war, and, putting the
nomination III abeysnce till the last moment,
and then take 1t up and finish it ut once.
It is much to be regretted that m endeavor
of this kind is on foot. The National Com
mittee, after q fair and full conference and
consideration II the casc. made the selection
as to time and place which they did. As to
Baltimore 1t is not the plsce VIC should have
selected; but 81 IL is chosen, no object will
be gained by change. As to the time, 1t is
about five months before the election-a pc
riod usually thought none too long. Mr..
Lincoln was before nominated In May; but
the circumstances were different then,
It is further to be said that In some quar-.
tcrs the tclecates 10 the Convention have a,-
ready been chosen and received thclrfnstruc-
t,ons. Tn other cases conventions .nra an.
