1t should be a matter of study on the
I! part OF every true citizen to avoid criti.
kcism on every occasion when criticism
can be avoided. But with due defference|
to the judgment Of the powers that be, a
convention held thirty days later WOULD
have had its advantages, and peculiarly
ESQ in view OF the exhaustive discussion|
f.of party issues last year. A later date
gand as a result of that later date more
Vigorous campaign would have had its!
advantages over the greater length of
athe time of the campaign, which will bel
sthe result OF holding the Convention att
sthis early date. But we have no dispo.|
S|sition to kick against the action of those
Swhose duty it was to name the day and|
select the place. Good men should bel
selected, and we are persuaded this will
fbe done. Clear utterances should also|
Z be given to the electors of the State of
ROhio as to what the policy of the Rel
publican party will be in the years to!
come. A placid Endorsement of the
present administration. A resolution
favoring the protection of American in,
dustries. A pointing with pride to the|
past history of the Republican party
may sound very well from the forum or|
may read smoothly in the columns of

deserving Of notice let it not be forgot.
ten that there are other questions Of
lvital importance to the electors of Ohio.
And still other questions of national i'm. !
3portance which must and will be settled
in the near future. Amongst the many
questions that are before the people, and|
which should receive attention by theI
leading party, we mention those of
taxation, Ohio's constitutional amend.|
ments, purity of elections, the more!
thorough enforcement of existing laws, |
Sunday traffic and the liquor question:
All of these will have to be met in the|
near future, and the Republican party
should be ready to meet them.
