DIsAFFEcrIoN IN THE REPUBLICAN


RANKs-On our first page, we publish an
article copied from the Sacramento Union,
in which that journal denounces the nomi-
nations made by the Republican State Con-
vention in no measured terms. The nom-
ination of Gorham, a tool of Conness, and
the most corrupt man in the State, has
given offence of all the more honest mem
bers of the party, and hence the outbreak
The San Francisco Bulletin, Alta aud Cal,
are not O whit behind the Union, in de-
nouDcing the nominations, and paving the
way for a general "bolt." These papers
WELD an immense influence, and owing to
their opposition it is more than probable
that the whole republican ticket will be de-
feated. Taking advantage of republican
discussions, the democrats have nominated
an uncxceptienal ticket, and with the exer-
else of proper degree of prudence, may
reasonably expect to carry the State. Mr..
Haight, the democratic nominee for Cover
nor, is a gentleman who stands high in the
legal profession, and is Of unsulied reputa.
tion. Between him and Gorham, in point
of character or ability, there is no compare
son, and left TO run on their merits, Haight
would distance his competitor two to one.
Judging the contest as it now stands, the
more respectable portion of the republicans
will support Haight. Either that, or they
will bring out a new ticket Let the fight
take which ever turn it may, the chances
are altogether in favor of the democrats
The election has the greater Importance for
the reason that the Legislature now to be
chosen will elect Senator to succeed Con,
ness.

Large numbers of immigrants were arriving
at Fort Benton, per steamers, and large
numbers were leaving by the same convex

OF goods by way Of the Missouri river were
very heavy, and as a result, low prices pre,

as In this market, and in many descriptions
OF merchandise the supply is greatly in ex.
cess of the demand. Notwithstanding the
DEPRESSION, the people of Montana are still
hopeful, and calculate that the mines this
season will show a larger yield than in any
former year. Mr.. G. is interested in claims
in Confederate Gulch, and reports the mines
in that district as paying we'll Montana is
