10 the Elitcr Of rMs Puget Sou,Yl Herald:
| notice q little ephemeral sheet called the
UaiOR Flag, edited by Mr.. 7. NJ. Reed, Of Olym.
pia, but published At Vancouver, takes me II
task IOr boiling the nOminatiOn,(?) so called, Of

that follow the example set by Mr. GariieIdO
and tho editor himself al the last election for

ton To the then fairly nominated candidate, and
Mr.. I. VI. Reed hsIded the Republican ticket ior
Representative to the Legislature in Thu ston
County, and was duly defeated by the votes Of
the Democracy thereof including myself
Now, with regard to boiling, may as well
state that certainly do bolt, aud viii ever claim
to exercise the right TO bolt ali nominations where
fraud can be shown. am satisfied, from the
statements Of at least ten members Of the late
vancouver Convention. that Mr.. Garhelde was
unfairly nominated. Besides, within my own,
knowledge, and by the testimony Of such men
y Mr.. Isaac W. Smith, late Register, aud Mr..
Van Cleave, Receiver, AZ well as the statements
o. several donation Settlers I can entertain M
doubt Of the malpractices Of this so called can
didate, In his late Office Of Receiver OF moneys
for public lands
am satisfied, as are hundreds Of other Dem.
ocrats, that ho Illegally received moneys from
settlers upon the public lands, giving his Official
receipts therefor iG that he declined or neglected
to enter such payments upon his Official books
and returns, and even allowed himself to be sued
by said settlers in tie Supreme Court Of this
Territory, after having violated repeated and
wri1ton promises to pay back or refund these
improperly received sums; thesc violated PROM
Ses being made to Mr.. Butler p. Anderson, Mr..
