Ply AND SCISSORS.
A BOrsE City dispatch says the
Territorial convention
nominated George Ainslie of Idaho
csty for delegate to Congress. He is
! good choice and can be elected if any
one can
HoS. n. 7. Cation, Democratic can.

Territory, win at once
enter upon his canvass of the Terri

eastern counties and close on the

TAE Republican convention of
Territory win convene at
vancouver on the 9th of next month.

The Democratic party was very fortu-
nate in choosing him as its standard
bearer last spring.
A. G. NEwLAND. late speaker of the
House, win probably get the nOmina-
ton for Delegate at the coming Re
publicaz convention in Washington
Territory. We don't see what he
wants the nomination for. He doesn't
stand = ghost Of a show in running
against Tom Cation.

Eshed in it in relation to the early his
tory of Southern Oregon are very in
terestiag.
