The Fight for Governor.

From the Frater.
Dir. Geer stands before the voters OF
Oregon in q very precarious condition
He was nominated by the Simon Repub-
Iicans, not because ne was their choice,
but because they had to submit to the
voice of the republicans of the state. Il
ia we'll known that Gov. LORD was to
have been the candidate, and had prom.
ises to that effect, but the ring leaders
could not resist the demands of q major.
ity of the Farty, hence, Mr.. Geer ~as put
forward. 1t ls also well known that the
anti-Simon republicans had selected Mr..
Geer as their candidate. and If the con-
vention had not nominased Mr.. Geer
then the opposition would have organ
lied and but out ticket with Mr.. Geer's
name at the head. Now comes the fight
between the two factions, the Simon Re-
publieans are iukewarm, while the anti
Simon men are Indifferent as Simon got
the convention, and they feel that Gee.
will stand in with that element. So Mr..
Geer is between the two fires of his own
party, and will likely go down as re-.
suit. Besides Mr.. Geer lie not meeting
with very great success, az campaigner
and the enthusiasm is very weak in his
behalf. As between two candidates. it
looks now az though Mr. King will be
victorious.
