We fniiy tiot understand the purpose of the gentlemen have issued this in. fixing that early day for the convention, but it does hot look to as as "thonglrthe committee, conscious of thechange that isYapidly taking place in the public, mind as ttv who should be the next Republican candidate, had determined to forestall tlrat change bjr calling that "convention while yet the1 sentiment of the State seemed to point to Grant as the many and' thus 'secure the" selection of a Grant delegation'.

Ifthisis-the and" we can see no other, it is a pitifully trick, in which' the conimitten, or a majority of it, has attempted to do the very thing it was selected not to. that is, to. control tha action of the Republican party in matters in which its elutywas simply to call the party together through its chosen Representatives, at the proper time, to determine for. itself what its iieiion should That a inajority of the Republicans in Kansas to-tlay are in fav or of the renomir.aiion of Grant, there can be no. doubt, but that that will be the case in three hionths from now, the time when the convention ought to have been called, there is Very is ery se-rious eloubt.

This must be apparent to tlie most casual observer. That it to tlie gentlemeiv who issued this call, is," in a measure' at least, slicwn by the fact that they liave called the convention fully three' months earlier than there was any earthly nee of. That it is ar.vniier put up alTair, is evidenced again by the fact but three days arc allowed between the primary or district convention and the State convention rendering it utterly impossible for many of the remote districts of the State to be represented at all. Why. is tills Why is it that undue haste must bo made in the selection of delegates 10 Philadelphia in order that they may have nearly months-of time in "which to make their arrangements for attend-ting that convention, for which two weeks would be ample time', and but three days are allowed the delegates from the districts, in which to get to get to La ween ce! To our mind the reason is obvious.

Probably not one-half the districts of the State will be represented by. bona fide de'iegates. Then, in order to fill up the convention, and give--it the appearance of a full manipulating the affair will secure the filling up of the vacant seats with proxies of their ow choosing, ai the result will be' the selection of a unanimous. Grant delegation to Philadelphia, and be heralded far and wide with great enthusiasm, a.i the "first gun oi the campaign for Grant." That is what it all means, and as these fellows have the orgaukatiou-in their own hands, they will probably succeed in their enter; rise.
