piled the citizens OF Reno with rare
and racy matter at their breakfast
tables on account Of having been
associated with a newspaper that
has since enabled quite a number
of gentlemen to become fairly
wealthy. He then left for the Bay.
Then his clear intellect and capacity
to, gather and properly classify,
passing events soon elected uni
versal attention. The management
of the San Francisco Post secured
his services and at salary beyond
his expectations he began to grind
out such original matter as to at
tract everybody's attention. Full
of native grit it was natural he
should succeed. His witticisms
and criticisms in the Post gave him
a standing at once. His political
contributions compelled the Demo-
cracy OF Nevada 10 secure him in
1879 to advocate the election OF
OLD BRoADHoRNs,
Governor Bradley in the columns
of the Virginia Chronicle. The
work done on that occasion and
subsequently with the lamented
Denis E. NJ. Mccarthy, is "a stand
ing monument to his ceaseless and
tireless energy. Friends and foes
were alike to him, when he was
discharging his duty as public
