NO SURRENDER.

A Washington dispatch says the
Presidents message on the Civil Ser
vice, which will be ready to send to
Congress soon after the holidays, will
show that the President does not intend
to surrender any position which he has
assumed ia his controversy with the
Senate. 1t will set forth the Presi.
dents views with respect to patronage,
and will call attention to the fact that
by the action of the Republican
National State Convention, Congress,
as we'll as the President, has been in-
structed to force the civil service policy,
and that he (the Presideut) Is sin. ply
endeayoring to carry. out to the letter
the instructions given him i'll advance
by those who elected him. In this
message the President will take very
strong grounds as to the constitutional
right of the Executive to originate all
nominations. The message will set
forth in clearer light than before
what the Presidents intentions are
upon civil service reform.

THE SAN ELizARIo AFFAIR.

1t now appears that the Mexicans
who captured and disarmed company
of Texas Rangers at San Fizaro were
each and all native born citizens of
Texas. No person or armed force from
the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
Joined the mob when captured the
Rangers. This is Of little consequence,
however. to those, who in hopes OF
protiting by an invasion of Mexico, are
intent on going to war with that
Republic.

STATE CONVENTIONS.

The question of where the next State
Conventions shall be held is being agi-
tated by the press. Eureka presents
strong claims through the Sentinel aud
correspondence of the Carson Appeal
for the Republican State Convention.
and will probably be awarded the
honor. Regarding the Democratic
State Convention, the claims of Win
nemucca should receive the favorable
consideration of the State Central Com
mittee. 1t is centrally located and easy
of access from all parts of the State
It's hotel accommodations are second to
no place of its size on the coast. There
is large hall suitable for meetings of
the Convention, with telegraph Office
in the building. Humboldt is the ban
ner Democratic county Of the State, and
though the Republicans have held Il
State Convention here. the Democracy
have hitherto ignored its claims to the
honor of having the State Convention
Of that party held within its territory.
1t is rather early in the season to dis
ouss this question at length, and we
shall refer to the subject again in due
time.

The City Election.

We trust the Republicans of Portland will
poll full vote to-day, and that our excellent
candidate for mayor will receive majority
commensurate with his merits. 1t had been
hoped that the Democrats, seeing that Mr.
Butler fully met the public expectation,
would refrain from making nomination.
But since they have Joined issue in candidates
it becomes the Republicans to rally in full
strength. Taking advantage of the political
quiet the Democratic leaders in this city are
scheming to force a misinterpretation of the
public sentiment in regard to the wise and
peaceable settlement of the Presidential con-
troversy just effected. 1t is well enough for
us to take all proper precautions against the
success OF the scheme.
The Democrats find so little cause for local
dissatisfaction with the Republican nomina-
tions that they are endeavoring to divert the
contest to national issues While we can sue
cesfully meet and surely defeat them there it is
eminently proper to bear in mind that this is
a local contest, and that the people of this
city are called upon to choose a may or not to
'rebuke Zach Ch .nder." The Republicans
have brought forward as their candidate
Moses NJ. Butler, man of high personal
character, of eminent professional qualifica
tions, and OF training which admirably fits
him to grapple with the difficulties in which
the municipality is now involved. He has
made study of the railway problem, prob.
lem which calls for the earnest attention of
our city rulers, and has demonstrated himself
to be the man of all others who is best
equipped to solve it. He is under the influ-
ence of no rings, railroad or other, is COM
mitted to no schemes, land above all has made
no promises Of hasty and il.consdered ac-
tion. According to the Democratic organ in
this city Mr.. Richardson, the Democratic
nominee, has committed himself to the inn
mediate sale of the railroads at whatever
price, no matter how inadequate, they can
now bring, Mr.. Butler will make no rash
move in the matter, but will carefully ex-
anime the subject in all its bearings. and
then carry into effect that policy which shall
be for the best interests of the city. He is
decidedly the better man of the two named
for the mayoralty. Mr.. Richardson is a
worthy gentleman, who has already served
the city as her chief magistrate; but his ad-
ministration was not so brilliant as to provoke
an ardent desire for its repetition.
The Republican candidates for Aldermen,
Councilmen and minor city offices are men
fitted to fill those positions and deserving of
hearty and undivided support by the party.
The ticket is one which Republicans will
gladly vote, and we look to see it successful
by handsome majority.

THE most remarkable speech during the
all night session of the House was made by
Levy, Louisiana Democrat. He aston
ished his audience by declaring that he be-
lieved as truthful the assurances of promi
neht members of the Republican party, high
in the confidence of the President elect, thai
policy of conciliation toward the Southern
States would be pursued, and that neither
the army nor the navy would bo used to sup
port local governments not the choice of the
people, but that the people would be left to
settle their differences peaceably among
themselves. SIN view of these assurances
and satisfied of Hayes election by the action

answer, 1t can; and advise you to
read treatise on the hair, which is
published by II. p. Hall & Co., Nashua

ton. They are the proprietors of Halls
Vegetable Sicillian Hair Renewer. We
learn from it, the hair. in u perfect
state of health, is constantly falling
out, and new hairs grow from the same
tubes but, in case of any disease ofthe
scalp. or by the use OF alcoholic prep
arations, the hair-tube becomes con-
tracted at its mouth, and prevents the
new follicle from reaching the surface
Their preparation will create perfect
ly healthy condition of the scalp, and
by its tonic properties, will preserve
and strengthen the roots of the hair
