1t is generally known that our NOM
incc for the Delegatcship is at this time
absent from the Territory. The oppo-
sition have small hope OH that ac-
count they may gain some advantage
by creating the impression that he will
not return before the election; that he
may not accept the nomination; that
he will make no canvass of the Terrific
ry, etc. All this will be but the mere
babbling of interested parties who know
that excepting they can gain something
hy circulating roorbacks, or stutiing
ballot-boXes, they are beaten beyond
recovery. This they know well, and
we therefore warn our friends to look
out for misrepresentation, lies, and
fraud. The party who oppose us in
the canvass are badly diseased, and they
will resort to desperate remedies to win
the race. If they lose, all hope of fu.
turc political prelerment is gone. They
have staked their all in reputation, APP
planes, and money. This is appa-
rent to all our readers who have exam
ined the the proceedings of the Vancou-
yer Convention. If they would cheat
and dcfraud political brethren, it is Ger
tainly reasonable to expect that they
will treat US no better who have always
opposed them. II they can manutac-
turc delegates in convention from un.
organized districts, to control its action,
and make nominations acceptable only
to few party tricksters, they may and
doubtless will carry out the same prac-
ticc in voting, in those unorganizcd
regions, and by fraud, POPULATION, and
the still more damnablc art of ballot.
box stutiing endeavor to prolong their
damnable rule. We urge our friends
political, and honest men ofall parties,
to guard we'll the sanctity of the ballot
box. See that none vote except those
who have the right of franchise. Sec
if possible that hundreds do not vote
where only tens arc found. Our can.
