THE STATE CONVENTION.


Lnofficially word reaches us that
the Republican State Convention of
Iowa will not be held until aiterall the
National Conventions. That this is
the conclusion arrived at by the State
Central Committee. We suppose from
this that the chairman Of the committee,
Col. Tichenor. has heard from the
various members, and that this is the
result arrived at by majority of the
committee. We know that A.a Ii.
Hamilton of this city, and J. S. Hurley
of Wapello Iowa, both members ofthe
committee. favored the calling OF the
Convention on.t 18th Of jane. We
have. urged the calling OF the Gonven-
ton for the Goth of this month, because
afuii Convention b. the Republicans OF
Iowa so suggested and instructed. for
an early Conyention: and further be-
cause we have all along believed as we
now believe. that an early Convention
is demanded by every consideration
