UNTRUE.

The anti-lsttery people are spread,
ing the story everywhere that the
Lottery drawings will take place in
San Francisco instead of Nevada.
Why does anyone suppose that a
company after having secured a
franchise in one State would go IN
to another to have its drawings?
If that were the case. why would
they need a Nevada franchise at
all?
In the same connection, it is
claimed that the drawings will not
be in Carson. but Virginia City.
Carson holds a majority of the
Trustees named in the bill. They are
Messrs. kinkead, Wright, Gree
and Klein, and does anyone imagine
that these gentlemen will sell out
their own town?
The bill also names the Capital as
The place OF drawing and under the
auspices of the State officers.

The Silver State which a few

proeisy OF the opposition and comes
on. as fellows
TIE advocates of the lottery
sche me, assert that it will be to the
benefit Of the State TO the extent OF
at leas, $40 GOO a year, and that
the only interest they have in the
matter is TO increase TIE State rev.
enue so tnat the taxation can he
redaced. Ii such is the fact, the
members OF the Legislature can
furnish proof OF it IN the event Of
the amendment being ratified, by
selling the franchise for conducting
a lottery for series OF years to the
individual or corporation that will
pay the highest price for it.
IA Nevada licenses gaming, and
has done so for years without no
ticable protest from those who are
opposing lottery, the objections to
the measure because OF its immor-
atty Will fail to convince thinking
people.
A lottery is no more demoralizlng
than the games OF chance which
are licensed in Nevada, yet, for .
consideration, the law which makes
1t q misdemeanor to advertise lot
tries or sell lottery tickets, permits
q dishonest gambler to swindle
everybody who Patronizes hls
game.
The Silver State has no interest
except that OF the general public
in the lottery scheme. 1t has not
announced that it WAS opposed TO
the lottery to have its silence pur-
chased as is charged against some
papers.
Neither does it take any stock in
the objection that lottery is more
demoralizing than the games sane
toned by law, and il the Legislature
can be trusted 10 dispose of a lot
tery franchise for the best interests
Of the State, not OF few individuals
there is nothing to loose by -atifying
the amendments, as it is unadul-
terated hypocrisy for people who
license gaming to turn up their
noses at lottery.

The Tribune fears that the
Nevada Lottery company will fill
its pocket at the expense OF the
balance of the people OF Nevada.
Now putting the question fairly Mr..
Tribune, would you not rather see
Nevada stockholders make this
money than New Orleans incorpor-
atoms?
Does anyone for an instance
suppose that the million OF circulars
and anti-lottefy tickets with which
the State is flooded we're all paid
for by members OF desinterested
parties who vera bent en- purifying
the pubic morals at their own ex-
pense.
Nevada will Indeed earn the
title OF "Roiten Bgyrough" if its
veters allow themselves, on election
day to be slaughtered by the coin

tory people have been seen within
