-
Rereile got altar the long tsngusd show.
man nsIt day to its hsartiest content.
apologizing therefor - folloxs:
when Mr.. sutro came here We In
tended to treat him With courtesy, give
him . fair hearing and report his lecture
fairly and honestly; but he saw at to 60
cut Of his way 10 attack N, and the con-
sequences Be on his own head. He has
thrown the gauntlet, and now between
the Revxlls and Mr.. Sutro. u II war 70
the knife and the knife to the hilt.' Our
only apology for dsvoting 20 much Of
our space to the tunnel fraud IL that he
lied about the Rsveile In his lecture last
night, and, - We can't lie ~ well and a.
fast as he. We want 10 get ' by tall
ing the truth about him."
The Rsrei1s proceeds 10 rstuts the
sutroscope showman's assertions relat-
alive to its having bean bought BY the
"Bsngk Wing" BY copying from Its
colunns Of three or four years ago,
showing that the R<vsius. - we'll u the
GoLD HUI NEws. has BEEN opposed for
ysars to the Sutroscops royalty. 1t
then goes on to recspitulats the follow
ing. which sutro omitted from his leo
turs. We copy in full: ID
'wnKr NJ DID TILL.
Sutro, the msuntsbank, told Q great
many things he knew last evening; but
he knswa great many thinss which he
did not tell. which We propose to tell for
him.
He did not tell that he has forfeited
the contracts made with him BY the chm
paniss on the Comstock BY his failure to
| complete the tunnel within the time
agreed upon in said contracts.
While hattsring the miners BY falling
them that he paid the men working In
the tunnel $A.pcr day. he forgot to
tell them that they we're forced TO accept
so cents Of that four dollars in worthless
tunnel stock. for which they never could
get Ave cents on the dollar.
While telling about the ~ per ton
royalty, he forgot to state that the tun-
mel. whom completed, In TO charge . toll
Of IS cents each way on each man going
TO or coming from work.
He did not tell his audience that the
Sutro Tunnel Company owns every foot
Of land and, every mill site. and every
spring and every drop Of water for miles
at tho mouth Of the Sutro Tunnel. and
| that every man, woman and child, every
ton Of ore extracted from the Comstock
vein, and every industry dependent on
that lode will, In the svsnt Of the COM
| pletion Of the tunnel. be forced 70 pay
tribute to him and his European back
ss in his attempt TO steal the richest
mineral bearing lode In the world.
He did not tell them that his tunnel
would render valusless every dollars
worth Of property In the now prosper
Gus and wealthy towns Of Virginia, Gold
Hill, Silver City and Carson. and that
be IL trying to turn these towns, 90 full
OF life and activity. over to the bats and
owls.
He did not recollsct to state that he
had boosted that with q few years
thoss towns would DO given over TO
those ill-omsnsd birds. and that . great
city-cailed Sutro and owned by SUI
tro-would arise at the mouth Of his
tunnel.
1t slippsd his memory that his tun.
mel il like himsslf-"Ll mouth and
header"
He did not inform his hearers that
''Sharon's Invoked wailwoad" con-
verted the city OF Carson from . rapidly
dscaying, isolated village. into . pros
porous city, with industries in 1t and
the surrounding country employing
thousands Of men, nor that his tunnel
would render that fair city . desert
waste.
While he was telling Of the oorruptions
and rascalities OF every man in the Uni
ted States who saw ft to oppose his
scheme. be forgot to tall how he bought
bribed and imPortuned Congressmsa to
pass the infamous Neglsy amendment,
which had Il passed. would have unset.
tied every title on the Comstock and
plunged every claim on the lode into
litigation.
While he was limiting that the Man
haitian Company. Of this city, might at
tsmpt to influence the votes OF its en-
ployes at the coming election, hs forgot
TO mention that in the election OF 1872
he colonizsd Lyon county with men paid
by British gold to work in the tunnel
and vote for Kendall for Congressman.
While he was talking OF the manner
in which stocks were manipulated, he
forgot to mention that several years ago,
before Sharon anne to Nevada, he got
the best OF thai gentleman in a dishon-
orabls manner, TO the extent Of several
thousand dollars. in . transaction in
stocks.
He said nothing about importing
groseA<n pieces and passing them on the
people Of Nevada for twenty-five cent
pieces.
While he wa abusing Kendall for
going back on him-as he called tit
did not occur to him to state that he A.
sisted in the election OF Kendall because
he thought he could use that gentleman
to further his own ends; and that his
animus in abusing him now Ii based on
the fact that Kendall refused to aid him
in his gigantic scheme Of robbery and
injustice.
He did not inform the miners that
several companies on the Cemstock
demonstrated by actual work the exist
encs Of pay ore in the lower levels Of
that ledge, and that the Crown Point
had reached q level below the level Of
his tunnel almost before the hnt pick
was struck in that hole In the ground.
While he was rolling the words
'.hunkiss" and paid liars" ~ . sweet
morssl undsr his tongue. be was oblivi-
Gus Of the fact that he owns . uswspa-
per In Virginia City. which has already
descended into the interior OF the BROTH

10 all its editorial eolunns-thus show
ing the calibre Of its swner-and TO edit
which he employs . characterless strang-
or, who knows - much about Nevada
Affairs % 6utro does about telling the
truth.
He did not tell the poor miners
with whom he processes 70 b in such
strong sympathy, that whom his En-
Glish hackers objected TO furnishing cap
ital TO build the tunnel on the ground
that labor was too dear In Nevada, that
n. ala than that wheu he got eyery-
