They Ought to Come to springfield.

1t was very generally conceded, sitter the
republican state convention was held here
last wear, that at no time and in no place
had convention been better accommodated
in every way. There was an excellent hall,
of ample proportions, good hotels and plenty
of them. the press arrangements were com
plete, and in fact every arrangement was
ample and all details well looked after.
This wear the convention is 10 be held in
Columbus, and according To the correspond
ent of the Commercial Gazette from that
city, they are having peck Of trouble. lie
says:
As the time for holding the republican state
convention approaches. the naked fact is
bumped up against that there Is Likelihood
of having much trouble in securing hall or
place tor the deliberations of the body. The
city hall is Of no earthly account. IL is imp"S-
safe TO hear a speaker with any degree ot sal
isfactiou half way across the hall. The Com
stock opera house, where conventions nave
usually been held, has been remodeled ana can
not hr had. ,
The t;rand onera house can be- secured, but
the trouble with IL is il is rather craInped Tor
such gatherings as a state convention. ms
was found To he the case last year. Arrange
ments had been made to use the Princess rlnk
but IL had been rented for an armOry for the
Fourteenth regiment, and the windows have
all been closed so that itwuuld be hotter than
the hinges of Sheol' in there. That has been
abandoned. The other rink has been convert
ed into a theAter, and is too tar up town Tor a
convention.
The only places available in any way suitable
are the Grand opera house and the city hall
OF the two the Grand is preferable. The fact
might AS well be stated now as at any othef
time. Columbus must erect "A hall suitable tor
conventions, or conventions must 90 else
where. There is no use crOwding people lntn
a small space, like Sardines in box, Nhen a
few thousand dollars could be prOftably in
vested In the erection Of a decent hall for pub
lie meetings The city hall is large enough,
but the acoustics are miserable. The wretch
who did the architectural skinning of the city
for that structure ought 10 be extradIted and
brought back and executed on lamp post III
front of his miserably bOtched job.
Ii is understood that an effort is being made
today to form a company and raise the heces
sary funds to erect n hall that will be a credit
TO the city. Unless this is done. conventions
in the future must 70 elsewhere ia order TO Sc
cure decent room in which public meetings
can be held with some degree Of comfort.

THE COURSE Of TRUE LOVE.

Good night, my sweet one" he said,
And lingering kiss he threw,
Then through the lawn he sped
And quickly lost TO view.
But her father had watched it all,
And an awful swear he swore
As he took his gun from the wall
And through the bushes tore.
And the lover uncOnScIOuSly
Walked 10 the garden gate;
He thought of his sweet Marie
Who soon would be his mate.
Then he felt grip ON his pants
And he heard fathers breath,
Like flash he was over the fence
And escaped certain death.
But his coat he left on the fence,
And his pants in the bull dogs Jaws.
And aS he hurried thence
lie simply said: Good Laws
Tomorrow I'll 90 to the sale
At J. VI. Knote's bargain store
And buy suit without fail
For the suit that the bull dog tore.
When Marie saw him next day
In his elegant five dollar clothes,
She threw him kiss cross the way
And loved him more for his woes.
