DAVIS MACKLEY, the editor Of the
jackson CO., STANDARD, was invited
to attend the meeting of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee at
Columbus, for the purpose of appoint
ing a day for their State Convention,
and here is partly what Mr.. MACK
LEY says about it in his paper the
week following the meeting:
"Now let me skip over very much
that l would like to say, and come
directly to the point why l came to
Columbus at this particular time.
On the I4th of this month l received
the following:
ONO REP. Con-. Rooms,
COLUMBUS, April IL, 1871
DEAR SIR:
There will be a meeting Of the
State Republican Central Committee
to consider the time for holding the
State Convention, and other matters
of Importance, at the Hall of the
House of R representatives, Columbus,
Ohio, Thursday, April 18th, 1877.
You are respectfully invited and
earnestly urged to be present and
aid with your advice and counsel.
We hope that you will not fail to
come. Very respectfully,
A. T. WlKOFF, Chairman.
j. C. DONALDSON, Secretary.
Being thus urged, 1 vas there
About 4 o'clock 1 was informed that
the State Central Committee had
met, fixed the time for the State Con-
vention for August 1st. to be held at
Cleveland, and had decided not to
have the meeting at the Hall of the
house. There were about two hun
dred editors and prominent Republi-
can workers present, all having re-
ceived the same invitation that l did.
Many of these men like the
Dutchman's son "Shake." They did
not swear, but they thought Got
tam" pretty loudly. They said they
did not like to be snubbed in this
way by the Central Committee, and
if that concern thought they could
run the campaign without the aid OF
the Republican editors, let them try
it. 1t was pretty generally admitted
that the State would be lost to the
Republicans next fall. was tickled
over the matter. 1t relieves the ed
itors of the party of all responsible
ty. Let this Committee now run the
thing. They have already whitfield
down the Republican majority from
one hundred thousand in 1868, to
five or six thousand in 1876. This
year they will land the whole con
Germ over Jordon. The fact is, the
Committee dare not let the workers
of the party be heard in counsel.
There was but n opinion as to ''my
policy" and the Committee had to
drop the consultation at once, or heal
thunder from every direction. I did
not even get a glimpse of Mr.. Chair.
