OHIO NEwsPAPERs ON THE LOCATION
OF THE STATE CONVENTION.
The newspapers OF the State are making
comments some Of which are wise and
some otherwise-on the action of the Re
publican Central Committee in locating the
Republican State Convention here. Wetake
pleasure in putting at the heading OF the
selections this paragraph from the Colum-
bus Dispatch, which, in the circumstances
is especially courteous and fraternal:
The selection of Springfield as the place for
holding the next Republican State Conven-
tion is not as central as Columbus, but inf
nitely better in that regard than Cincinnati,
Cleveland or Toledo. By central" In COM
psr,son with Columbus, we mean that more
delegates will have to change cars, and be
subject to delay, en- route to Springfield. No
advantage is gained in the building in which
| the convention is to meet, and none in hotels.
though we cheerfuly concede that Spring
| field is much better provided tor in that re-
spect than very large proportion OF the ONO
| towns of larger growth. We believe the
| Democracy will not attempt to change their
recent good luck by taking their convention
away from Columbus.
To show our appreciation of this we will
assure our friends OF the Dispatch that we
will not attempt to have the State Capitol
and Penitentiary removed to this city.
| The Cincinnati Times-Star treats the
matter briefly, remarking that
While Columbus slept, the Champion City
made off with the State Convention.
The Xenia Daily Gazette takes the mat
ter more to heart than any of the Colum.
bus or Dayton papers, but we presume our
"esteemed contemporaries will feel better
after awbile-when they get over it. The
Gazette says:
The Republican Central Committee met at
Columbus yesterday and decided to hold the
Republican State Convention at Springfield
on the l lth of June. We had sincerely hoped
that the Central Committee would have the
| common sense to fix the place for the conven-

capital OF the State, the point which is GEN.
