PR0R CHICAGO.

Although the place for holding the
next Republican convention will be de-
cided upon in the very near future, the
question has evoked less discussion this
year than ever before. A NUMBER Of cities
are asking for the honor, but as yet none
OF them are putting forth any such ef-
forts TO secure IL as Minneapolis did four
years ago. Buffalo and San Francisco
are quite active, and Pittsburg and In
dianapolis are said 10 be quite earnest pc
titioners, but the prevailing sentiment
seems to be that no one OF the four VIII
secure it, All of those who have voice
in deciding the matter appear 10 be
friendly TO San Francisco. but its re-
moteness and the expense Of getting there
are arguments against its selection which
will be hard TO overcome for some years.
The San Francisco people will certainly
make a gallant tight for the convention
when the committee meets in Washing
ton City. and the entire Coast will give
them hearty support. but ii is to be
feared that the effort will prove unavail-
ing. In fact the feeling grows stronger
every day that Chicago viii be selected
as the convention city, even without ask
ing for il.

MALIGNING A COMMUNITY.

There is no punishment except public
odium for man who recklessly maligns
a community and public odium should
fall heavily upon the correspondent of the
New York Stats Zeitung who wrote the
following Infamous perversion Of the
truth:
What can be expected from a state
court which a week before confirmed the
death sentence hanging over a negro
names Holmes, although the judges at the
same time admitted that the man had not
deserved the death penalty? Holmes has
meanwhile been hanged. but the negro
vote would be alienated from the c.. O. p.
If the 'DUtchman' should not now also
hang-to the utter disregard of all right
feeling. of all humanity. without consid-
Grafton for this poor wife and his three
little children"
No baser falsehood was ever uttered 1t
may be incidentally mentioned that the
colored men who petitioned for commu-
tation of the sentence of a man already
dying of consumption displayed infinitely
better taste and better citizenship than
the man who made himself the champion
OF Craemer in the Stats Zeitung.
Here. where the facts are we'll known,
no explanation is need; but for the bene-
fit OF those who may not remember them,
it may be said that the court had no dis
erection but 10 accept the jury's verdict,
that the judges did not admit that Holmes
did not deserve the death penalty; that his
sentence was committed by the governor
ha n5pus
from disease; and that Holmes was not
hanged. but died of consumption, as the
writer Of the letter well knows.
AS 10 Craemer. he has been found guilty
OF the atrocIous murder of a poor woman
and her baby. His crime was not, like
that of Holmes. committed under fear of
bodily injury, but for the sake of money he
knew TO be In the woman's house. Sew
eral attorneys are said TO have volunteer
ed 10 aid without pay in procuring new
trial IL Craemer could give them some
proof OF the truth of his statements. but
the conviction has been forced upon them
that he did not speak the truth.
AS 10 the prejudice against Germans in
Seattle 1t is too absurd TO be argued about
The German element is one of the strong
est social and political factors in the city
and well able to hold its own against any
odds.
The charge made in the columns of the
Stats Zetung is the most outrageous
insult ever offered a civilized community,
and II has, to their honor ne Il said,
been promptly and emphatically de-
nounced by the Germans themselves.
