TOE REPUBLIC STATE C05TF.XTIOS A Republican convention for the stato of Oregon is called to meet at the city of Portland, Oregon, on Wednesday, the 30th day of April, 1881, at 11 o'clock A. M for the purnoso of nominatinc candi dates for the following offices, to-wit: Representative in congress, judge of-the supreme court, the presidential electors, and district officers for the several judici al districts, and to select six delegates to attend the national Republican conven tion, and to transact such other business as may properly come before the conven tion. The convention will consist of 206 dele gates, apportioned among the several counties, as follews: Baker 5Loke 2 Benton -. 91Lane ..10 Clackamas lOJLinn 12 Clatsop 6Marion- 18 Columbia 4Multnomah S5 Coos 6Polk;, 8 Crook...." 5ITillamook 2 Gurry 2jTJmatilla. 12 Douglas 12Unloh 7 Grant 5 Wasco 8 Jackson 6 Washington 8 Josephine 8Yamhill 9 Klamath, SI Total.-. 80G The same being one delegate at large from each ooanty, and one delegate for every 125 rates, and one for every frac tion over one-half thereof, oast for Hon. M. 0. George, congressman, at the last general election. The committee recommend that the primaries be held on Saturday, the 12th of April, and the county conventions on Tuesday, the 22d day of April, unless otherwise ordered by the proper county central committees. The 'committee earnestly, recommend that the delegates elected to the state convention attend in person, and if not convenient for them to so attend person ally, that they send their proxies by electors of the county they represent. The Republican voters of the state, without regard to past political differ ences, who are in favor of elevating and dignifying American labor, giving free popular education to the masses of the people, effectually protecting all human rights in every section of our common country, and who desire to promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony throughout the state by maintaining a government pledged to these objects and privilege?, are cordially invited to unite in selecting delegates to the Re publican state convention. SOL. BURSOH, Chairman. Portland, Oregon, Feb. 21, 1834. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE C0STEXTI0S. The "state Democratic convention is hereby called to meet at Dalles City, on Thursday, the 17th of April next, at 10 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of nominat ing candidates for the following effices: Judge of the supreme court, three presi dential electors, representative in tha lower house of congress and district officers for the several judicial districts, and to select six delegates to the national Democratic convention, and generally to to do such other busines as may of right come before such convention. The committee deem it fitting to pre sent to the Democratic voter of the state the following consideratiens: We see 'approaching an election of most vital import to our commonwealth in all its interests, both public and pri vate. Deeming honesty the best policy, and in striking contrast with the course of the opposition party, we have named an early day for the assembling of the state convention. Our principles as a party will then be enunciated, and our candi dates placed in the field subjeot to the approval or consideration of the body politic. The variance in tho vote of this state during the past lew years, and especially the very close contest in the presidential election of 1880, Rives us much hope that, notwithstanding our present minority, with harmony in our ranks, and a well directed exertion of our strength, we shall carry off the palm of victory. But to insure this 6nd it is imperative that all Democrats should contribute their undi vided support and hearty co-operation, not only in the aotual canvass but in its very initiation thecounty primaries. We do not presume to trespass upon the Sreoincts of our popular .convention, but o earnestly invoke all members of our party to put aside past differences and personal antagonisms, to unite in har monious action in the various primaries and to send full delegations of represen tative men to attend the state convention. We have deemed it fitting to reduce the number of delegates, in tho hope of secur ing the personal attendance of those to be chosen. We especially recommend the formation bf looal clubs, where prac ticable, throughout the state. Believing that the success of the De mocracy is the welfare of the people, we cordially invite all persons, regardless of past political affiliations, who iavor sim plicity, economy and frugality in the ad ministration of public affairs to unite with us. AL ZIEBER, Chairman. P. H. D'Aacr, Secretary. DEMOCRATIC CALL.

My attention was first called to it some eight months ago by a patient of mine Although Ijras well ac quainted with the superior excellence of your other plaster and antbeptio dressing, made especially for the profession, tho Benson a was demparativoly new to me.
