around that region of country where lies
the town of Livingston. The town is
loser of about 81, 500 by blow of last
Sunday night. The Tribune building was

A great deal has been said about the
eligibility of certain nominees to the Ter
ritorial convention. One nominee is said
to be ineligible because he is member
of the Territorial legislature. Now this
question of eligibility ought to be settled
at once. We do not pretend to under
stand the legal points involved. The
