THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

J. II. Harris, of Bellevue, is the
nominee for Joint Councilman. Mr..
Harris is lawyer Of ability, and a
man OF irreproachable character. But
he is not the kind Of man needed for
this position, at this time. What is
required, is stirring, aggressive man
thoroughly familiar with all the de-
tails OF the mining business, and a
man who will, if the Mormons attempt
% throttle the mining industry Of Al
tuns county by endeavoring to enact
laws unjustly or oppressively taxing
tho mines or their product, be able to
successfully oppose them. A Demo
ssat can do this in a body largely
aDsnocratic, such as the Council will
Be-, but Republican cannot.
e. n. Wilson is the nominee for
ths Assembly. Mr.. Wilson is a mem.
Der Of the firm OF J. O. Swift & CO.,
and u charge of their Bullion house.
He IL no newcomer here, as he was
ono Of the very first prospectors in the
Wood River country, ana hehaS donA
almost al much as any man in it ID
make our vast mineral resources
known to the world. Mr.. Wilson
6rst came to Idaho in 1866, when q
mere lad, and he therefore fultills all
the requirements Of the most exact.
ing mossback. Being largely inter.
ested in mine locations in every dis,
trict Of Alturas county, he will not be
apt to do anything to cripple our lead
ing industry, while his general dispo
sition and gentlenanly department
will secure to him an influence which
could be had in no other way. Mr.
Wilson will doubtless be elected BY
large majority.

Mr.. SINGIsER's LETTER.

When Mr.. Ainslie visited Haley, it
will be remembered, he accused Mr..
Singiser of indorsing the Snake River
Irrigation Steal which Mr.. Ainslie at
tempted to push through Congress,
and the TINES, while requesting a
suspension of opinion until Mr.. Sing
User could be heard from, stated that if
he had indorsed the steal he would
not deserve the votes Of the people Of
Wood River.
MI. Singiser has been heard from.
His letter was published yesterday.
He states, in the most emphatic man
ner, that he never Endorsed the steal
referred to, nor any other that Mr..
Ainsie introduced in Congress, and
ths4 any use of his name intended to
show that he did is fraudulent forg-
cry. Mr.. Singiser speaksin no uncer-
tain way, and his fiat contradictions Of
Mr.. Ains;'e's charges against him will
convince every reasonable man Of their
truth.
Mr.. Singiser is on Wood River, and
our citizens will therefore have an
early opportunity to hear him speak
for himself. r.

The most favorable indication for
the early completion of the Oregon
Short Line Railroad to Haley, is the
fact that all the grading gangs and
tracklayers recently employed on the
railroad from Pocatello to Granger,
on. the U. P. line, having completed
that end OF the road, are moving dali
ly upon the grade between American
Falls and Haley. Being skilled work
Hep and fully organized under COM

work Of green hands, and will, added
