We call attention to a communication
printed in this todRy's REPUBLIC, in which
it is stated that the republican state conven-
tion will, very probably. make the tempo
rary chairman, General J. Warren Keifer,
the permanent president That would be
a very proper thing TO do. and we have no
doubt Major Bickham, who has been urged
for the permanent Craftsmanship of the
convention without being consulted in the
matter. and who is one of General Keiftr's
s'OuteSt friends. will insist that the General
be made permanent chairman. Certainly
NJ man is better qualified for the position,
tie General having served as speaker of
the national house of representatives, to
the satisfaction of both democrats and re-
p Iblicans, and being well qualified in other
respects. He is especially happy and fore
ibe in sounding a keynote for cam
pa ign.

Supervising Architect Cregar thinks that
the S4O,OOO appropriation for the Spring
field government building. now on its way
through congress, is asked for, (by the gov
ernment authorities, and not by our citi-
1ens, to enable the authorities to make the
building fire-proof. Mr. Cregar says his
applications for the wooden ioists, needed
for the prosecution of the work. have re-
ceiyed no attention, and he therefore infers
that 1t is the design Of the government
architect to get an appropriation SO that
