The National Conventions.

The National Conventions for the
nomination Of candidates for PresI-
dent and Vice President all take
place IN June-the Republican on
the u. the Greeuback- Labor on the
9th and the Democratic on the I'D.
The two former will lie held IN Chi
caco. and the latter IN Cincinnati.
Under the basis o! representation
adopted two delegates for each
Senator and Representative and
like number spportioned to each
Territory and the District OF Co
lumbia-:he Republican Convention
will consis, OF $50 delegates, and
the Democratic. unless some action
is taken TO give the Territories re-
presention, Is less, or 13s.
One OF the most remarkable fea-
lures connected with those Conven-
tions is that the represention from
the Southern States, none OF which
are expected to elect Republican
electors, is necessary for choice OF
any candidate selected by the Re-
publican Convention, and in the
Democratic council the same anom-
ally is'presented, if we take the pre-
sent state of political situation into
account. Under the Republican US
age of requiring a two-third vote to
nominate, the South literally is the
master OF the situation, but as it is
supposed to be a unit for Grant,
and Pennsylvania and New York
have declared for the great gift
taker, there is not likely to be any
\ chance for division, unless the par
ty manifests independence enough
to free itself from machine tactics
by compelling withdrawal of Gram
or presenting the alternative of in
evitable defeat.
The present situation of the Dem.
ocratic party is not at ell discourag-
ing. In fact the chances for great
tidal wave of popular sentiment, like
that which swept over the country in
1876. again lifting it far above its
most sanguine hopes, are remark
ably bright. 1t was the second Ad-
ministration of Grant which caused
the great revolution of sentiment,
and the prospect of third term OF
jobbery and ring rule, is not unlike
ly to create just such sweeping
change, when the contest is made
on precisely the same grounds as
those which gave nearly a million
majority to Mr.. Tilden. Such a vic.
tory would, of course, make up for
all losses of Congressman which
have reduced the Democratic major
ity to too close a figure to be en-.
tirely safe under all contingencies,
and place the Government absolute
ly under its control, except the par.
tizan judges and few military off.
GERS, who would, in the face of O
large popular majority, be powerless
to change the result.
The experience of 1876 will have
one good effect, if the result is adj
verse to the present Administration
and that will be to ensure an honest
count of the electoral vote. There
will be no more partisan commits.

RAILROAD building promises to be
unusually lively in Oregon this

OF these. There seems to be no

all the money needed from for.

TO accept very low rate of interest

extend their sphere of usefulness bv
aiding our struggling Territory and
building up enterprises which would
not only be exceptionally remuner-
auve' but the means of directing at

ABOUT 100 miners q week are now
focking to Skagit, and the number
is constantly increasing. No matter
how rich the mines prove to be, of
this number large proportion will
return without having accomplished
the object of their mission, and
many will come down poor and
dishsartened by sad experience.
We trust that our people will wait
patiently until the season is further
