approval. One is that the State Com
mittee should select the delegates to st.
Louis, the State Convention being held
later. 1t is hardly possible that the Ststs
Committee would assume this authority,
nor that they would also appoint Presi-
dental Electors for the State At large.
The other plan 10 two Conventions, one
to elect delegates to St. Louis, and the
other to nominate for State officers some
two months hter. Our contemporary is
in favor of this plan in order to "avoid a
long campaign" but will the campaign be
much shorter? Scarcely, for the Presi-
Dental campaign would be in progress
from the date Of the nomination on the
5th of June, and should be vigorously
prosecuted, and would be were the State
candidates also in the field. For the ad-
vantage of both tickets, State aud Ma
tional, they should be together in
the field from the beginning, and
directed by same Executive Com
mttee, for, as the State Convention
creates the Executive Committee, changes
might be made in that with which the
Presidential campaign opened and pro-
crossed until the time Of postponed
State Convention. But this is minor mat
ter, and we also merely refer to the work
and expense of two Conventions, for it is
in the interest of party harmony that we
find the strongest argument in favor of
one State Convention held prior to the
5th of June, and for reasons which the
thoughtful reader will readily allow.
These are that already many supporters
have number of favorites for positions
in the State government, from that Of
Governor down, and this advocacy of in
dividual claims will grow more and more
earnest as the time for nominating ap-
proaches-and rapidly would it wax
warmer after life is given to general poll
tics by the opening of the Presidential
campaign. This partisanship of members
of the party within the party would
create animosities and do much to dis
unite it if long continued. Therefore let
the nominations be made before rivalry
engenders bitterness, and the contest
for them being ended all good demo
Gratis will, as matter of course, unite in
their support against the common enemy.
