THE Gold Hill News objects to the
Republican State Central Committee
electing delegates to the National Con-
vention, and favors the calling of a
State Convention, because it affords less
ground for complaints Of favoritism
and at the same time gives the dele
gates selected an opportunity to confer
with their constituents-the county del
egates by whom they are selected, and
Republicans in attendance at the Con-
vention-regarding their preference as
to whom the support of the Slate shall
be given in the National Convention.
The NeWs is right. The election of del
egates by a committee savors too much
of Star Chamber proceedings, and our
contemporary can count on us in as de-
cidedly in favor Of a State Convention
by each party.
