MIssrATED.--Thc Portland Herald says
that the price Of ticket from Olympia
to Victoria by the Hunt is s., and by the
4AxdersonS l4." Thisis untrue. The An
dsrson carries for about one half the rates
charged by the Hunt. The Herald blum
ders quite as much in stating that the Col
onist newspaper is to be removed from
New Westminster to Victoria and be pub.
lished as daily paper. The fact is the
ColOnist has always been published at Vic.
toria, and has been daily paper for the
past seven years. Please be little more
careful, Urban, or the Herald will decline
as rapidly in popular opinion as did the
Orcgoxiax.

"Thc Democratic central committee issue cali,
in the Walla Wala Statesman, for Territorial Con.
vcntion. This must be cOnsOlinH to the Standard,
to get snubbed when il wants to be the chief or.
gan Of the Democratic party."-7ranscrips.
This slur is characteristic of the bigoted
editor Of the Transcript. The call was is.
sued by the Committee at Walla Walla,
and of course should have been, as it was,
sent to the Statesn.an and STANDARD sim
ultaneously. We dol not, like the Transcript,
claim to be chief organ" All we de-
sire is equality with our co-laborers Of the
press, and this we receive from our party
friends. The Transcript, however, claims
superiority over its Republican cotem-
temporaries, which under the circumstan.
ces, is both ridiculous and disgusting. 1t
possesses about the wisdom Of Mrs. Par
tington, and its most brilliant literary eff
forts are as marvclously absurd as the sayings
Of that venerable lady.

GRANTS INAUaURAL.-We publish this
document in full on our first page As none
Of the Radical papers last week gave the
paper entire. Probably the omissions are
scarcely worthy Of note, as VIC cannot see
that they add a single idea to the common
place twaddlc of which it is mainly CON-
posed, but we prefer giving in full al
state papers which form part of the cuy-
rent history of the times.

A Few Words to the Party.

1t will be seen that the Territorial Dem
ocratic Committee have have changed the
time for holding the Territorial Conven-
lion to Thursday, the 22d day Of April
next. This change we heartily endorse.
believing that it will result in harmony to
the party and in the Convention. We de-
sire, in this connection, to impress upon
all Democrats sense of the necessity for
immediate and thorough organization. The
period which intervenes between the Con-
vention and the time of election isso brief,
we should begin at once the preliminary
work of the campaign. The county COM
mittees should see that the primary and
county conventions are called promptly,
aud that every man of liberal principles
has notice thereof Let us havcan enthu-
siastic rally at the start, and keep the ball
rolling and gathering volume until it bears
down all opposition. Never have the
prospects ofthe Democratic party appeared
brighter than they do now. Remember
that in the contest two years ago by what
atriaing majority we lost the Territory,
notwithstanding the united and desperate
struggle of our adversarics, amidst the
dissentions in two or more counties in our
own ranks, and let this inspire renewed ef-
fort in the approaching contest That d.
vision cost us hundreds of votes, and gave
70 minority we were we'll able to defy the
fruits ofvictory. Halfthe battle for US has
already been fought in the ranks Of our ad-
versaries. With promptncss aud energy
VIC have no cause to fear defeat. Our
opponents in the halls of Congress have
placed in our hands weapons against which
no party can stand.
We trust the several county committees
will at once call their respective convcn-
tions, not alone to nominate delegates to
the Territorial Convention, but to inaugu.
rate measures for complete aud thorough
organization.
