Republican National Convention.

Last week the Republican National
Committee met in Washington City
and fixed the time aud place for the
next Republican Convention. 1t will
be held at Chicago, early in June.
Some Of the papers put the time as
the I'd, others the Sd, while some say
the 5th. Senator J. D. Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, was chosen chairman Of
the National Committee.
Cincinnati made vigorous effort
to have the convention held there. A
committee Of leading citizens were
sent to Washington City to urge the
holding of the convention at Cincin-
natl, and among the members of the
committee was Richard Smith, editor
in chief of the Gazette.
The principal objection to Cincin-
natl was the manner in which the
convention was managed in the year
1875. The city papers acted very un-
fairly, as well as did the citizens of
the city, and the managers Of the con-
vention. Especially were the friends
Of Senator Blaine indignant, and no
wonder.
We attended that convention, as an
outsider, and carefully noted the pro-
ceedings. On the Sunday previous to
the convention Senator Blaine, while
walking to church, the heat being in
tense, was prostrated by sunstroke.
With a brutality that was inexcusable,
the Cincinnati papers made merry
over this affection, and sneered about
it for days. The Bristow lunacy had
full control Of the Cincinnati press
and people. 1t had been announced
that members Of the press would be
furnished with tickets of admission to
the convention on application to Ger
tain man, at certain Office, but when
the application was made the reply
was that the room was all engaged.
1t was afterwards made to appear that
instead Of permitting members Of the
press, and other decent men, the space
was occupied by roughs who had been
hired as Bristow bummers, to shout,
stamp and yell for the Kentucky
fraud. Thousands and thousands of
fans were distributed with the picture
of Bristow upon them. Fhe bull
necked, hog-jawed picture Of the now
defunct fraud and sham were seen in
the windows, on the streets, in the
convention-every where.
Verify, Cincinnati has been treated
as she most richly deserves to be treat
ed.
While upon this subject, we will
give the following by way of conclu-
sion. It is from the Newark Ameri-
can:
claims of Cincinnati the proper place the Ma
ttonal Convention, he asked whether or not all
the Brstow pictures that adorned every Gin
cinnatt had been exhausted. Mr.. Smith shouted in
but now 1T was Republican city, We have recol-
lection that the Bristow that time claimed to
be Republicans, although then thought, did a
good many others, that they had miserably mean
showing it.
