AN EXPLANATION NEEDED-In view OF
the action of the National Committee
some time ago. it would be interesting
to know by what authority b. Barlow
chairman, calls meeting of the Terri.
torial Republican Committee for the
purpose of electing two delegates and
two alternates to the Chicago Conven-
ton of June Sd. If thu declaration OF
the National Committee means any
thing. delegates elected "a Mr.. Barlow
proposes will not be admitted. What
right he has to annul the acts of those
above him, and for what purpose IL ID
done, are matters of interest to all mem
beers of the Republican party in the
Territory, and he should not be slow in
informing them. His call has already
occasi med a deal of unfavorable COM
ment.

deepest thinkers of the city. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company has
no more right to al unearned land grant

this late day to give grasping monOp
oily millions of dollars worth of land

like to have it. Any one with grain
of common sense ought to be able to
see this. Why should the best portion
