Time for Action.

We republish this week the resolutions en-
dorsed BY the last Union Comfy Convention,
under which the party will be called to act this
summer for the first time. We are satisfied that
the weight of sentiment is in favor of giving
them trial, and if, as is plausibly urged, the
party will not be as Thoroughly organized at the
time nominations are completed as under
the convention system, this of itself calls for
earlier action than usual. This year we elect
an entire county ticket, with the single excep-
ton of County Judge, and it is important that
we should be successful. Ordinarily our con-
ventions were held about the middle of July and
the primaries called at any time sufficient to
give the voters notice. By reference to the res
olutions mentioned, it will be seen that the
Central Committee must move in the matter at
least sixty days before the election to be held
for nominees, and certain pledges required from
all candidates. In addition, several days will be
necessary to ascertain and announce the result
of the balloling, and fair computation will
show that about three months will necessarily
elapse from the time the committee first meet
and the ticket fairly placed in the field We
submit, then, that there is no time to be lost,
but that the Central Committee should take
some action in the premises at least by the lst
OF May.
