THE REPUBLICAN TERRITORIAL COMMITTEE.

The Ration Range takes the Republican
territorial central committee to task for
its conduct during the recent campaign.
Analyzing the statements of the Range,
there appears nothing to Justify its CEN
sure of the committee. Indeed, quite the
reverse The committee virtually con-
sisted of the chairman, R. Z. Twitchell,
and the secretary, L. A. Hughes. Judge
A.. L. Morrison aided in arranging during
part of the campaign in the matter Of
speakers and meetings.
The committee had but a small amount
of money at its disposal; Messrs. Twit-
chell and Hughes worked hard and ener-
getically during the campaign and GER
tuinly brought about excellent results,
that are very apparent when these results
are compared with those of the 1856 1883
and 1880 campaigns.
The printing for the committee and the
newspaper work done, were obtained at
remarkably low figures and indeed at
probably one-third of the cost that would
have been charged had they adopted any
other method.
The Range is not justified in its re-
marks and assertions and they are moi
borne out by the facts. Honor to whom
honor is due,

party leaders as Carlisle, Vest and

print with great avidity to pro-
claim that Mr., Cleveland will not call
an extra session of congress after the lth
of March next. Told you so. The radi-
cal free trade journals and party leaders
only last week were going to have that
extra session whether or not, and they
were going to rip the Mckinley bill and
the federal election law and all other Re
publican measures right up the back; but
some how or other they have this week
