Time and Place of Holding the
National Republican COnycn-
finn

WASHINGTON, January S.-ThC Rcpub.
liCan Committee which meets here next
week to fix time and place for holding
the National Republican Convention will
have TO consider the claims Of seven or
eight cities desiring to be designated. The
choice will, withoutdOubt, fall upon cith-
cr Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Phila-
dclphia, New York, Washington, or Sar-
atOga Springs. There are no expressions
from members OF the committee which
show that u majority, or perhaps any very
large number, have decided preferences.
The question Of location is therefore an
open one, to be the subject OF real and not
pretended consideration. Outside the
committee there is large preference cX-
pressed in favor Of Philadelphia, because
politicians and delegates will desire to at
tend the convention and visit the EXPOSE
ton ut the same time. From what has
been heard from the West, it seems that
that section would generally prefer Phil
adcIphia or New York to Chicago, The
citizens Of Philadelphia willnOt, however,
make any formal request OF the committee,
but only say they will be glad 10 wei
come the convention aud provide for its
entertainment il the committee decide to
have it held in that city, 1t is probable
that New York City may have the con.
ventiOn by making some particular effort
for it, as thoSc who prefer Philadelphia
would be satisfied with the designation
of the former because Of the convenience

The late annual report of the State
Railroad Commissioner Of Ohio shows
the total mileage Of railroad track with
in the State at the close Of the year to be
4,458, slight increase over last year
The passenger traffic shows an incresc OF
1,7O6,O54 over last year. The total num-
Der carried was over seven times the en-
tire population Of Ohio. The freight
traffic increased only 145,72G tons. The
grosslearnings were, in round numbers,
G5 millions, against II millions last year,
being n decrease Of O millions. This
shows the effect OF low rates, which have
prevailed on all through business, and,
notwithstanding sweeping reduction in
expenses, the net earnings fell of S2,272,-
4s2. The total net earnings amount TO
only per cent upon the paid up capital
and Indebtedness of the companies.

PRESIDENTIAL PALAyER.
The Democrats and Republicans
Talking About the Next NOmi-

Harrisburg Latter IN FridAy'sH. y. Tribune
This is the attitude OF the Pennsylva-
MIA Democrats: They are for Hendricks,
Bayard, Thurman, General Hancock, or
almost anybody in preference to Tilden,
but they will give up their prejudice
rather than run q clear hazard OF defeat.
Satisfy them that without New York
they lose the battle, and without Tilden
they lose New York, and they are for
Tilien. What have said above applies
to the general run Of Democratic mem
bers, who have not thought seriously on
the question, and have not, therefore,
enlisted under the banner Of any partic-
ular candidate. a definite programme
has been mapped out by the leaders Of
the Wallace wing OF the party, but 1t has
not yet been communicated to the rank
and file. The plan is to throw the vote
Of Pennsylvania in the Convention for
Governor Hendricks in return for the
Western vote OF Ex-Governor Curtin for
Vice President. 1t is shrewd and care
fully laid scheme, and is worthy Of the
anxious consideration OF Gov. Pildcn's
friends. It contemplates shifting the
battle-ground fiom New York TO Penn.
sylvania, carrying the latter State by the
"Old War Governors" popularity, risk
ing the loss Of the former, insuring H.
diana, and making push for Ohio and
Wisconsin. The Tilden slate figures out
victory by the union OF the South, the
East, and the Pacific Coast; the Hen
bricks and Curtin slate arrives at the
same result by adding to the vote Of the
South that Of Pennsylvania and Indiana,
and taking the chances ofcarryingone or
two of the close Western States. There
is good reason for stating that Senator
Wallace is using his great talent for or.
ganizing political movements TO forward
this scheme, and for believing that Gov
crnor Curtin had it in view when he sur
prised his friends by taking the stump for
Allen last October.
Among the Republicans there begin to
be strong preferences shown, but no pref
udices. Ii is Blaine or Bristow wit III

almost without rival in the affections OF
the Pennsylvania Republicans, but now

orous warfare upon the Whisky. Rings.

ever, that the sentiment is not MS 6ne'
sided throughout the State, and it is
probable that the preference Of the mem
Der leads him to cxaggerate the feeling in
his section. Mr.. Blaine's hold upon
Pennsylvania is too strong to be lost nc
quickly. A sudden wnnc Of popularity
may appear to raise rival higher in pub
lie regard, hut the men who control Re-
publican politics and who will name the
delegates to the National Convention
continue to be staunch friends Of the cx'
Speaker. The vote Of the State will, | am
confident, be given to him. Besides the
two strong candidates, hear some men,
