be up and moving in nominating candidates for
the Legislature and for, other Offices. Bring
out your best men---men whose characters will
grow brighter the longer the public can have
an opportunity to know them, and analyze their
positions. Is Let us not be ashamed to show our
candidates and our principles-.-if successful,
well and good---if defeated, let US try again.
So far as we hear, the Republicans are on the
right track, ,---are making clean ticket with a
determination to elect it. In the lower part of
the Territory, many nominations have already

has been said, but we feel sure that when the
time comes to act, the Republicans will be found
promptly ON the ground. Lg-.s .7 uem 10
