There Is u probability that the COum-
ty Committee will call II Republican
Convention in II few weeks, say about
the middle of June, for the purpose of
clccting delegates to the State, Congress
siOnal, Senatorial and Representative
Conventions, which arc.t be called
hereafter. Under the circumstances,
we would heartily endorse the action
of the Committee in calling the dele
gate Conventions early. With the re-
suit of the National Convention to be
held mt Cincinnati on the 18th of June
before the people, the campaign will
actively commences, and the Republic
cans of OsccOla county should be ready
to move forward with the rest. An
other important argument in favor of
calling this convention early is the fact
that Osceola has several candidates of
her own to present to the people OfOtl-
or counties, and this should bc done in
proper season. Now, let us hear from
the County Committee.
