Receiving Teller Alleged to Be q Defaulter for

Receiving Teller Alleged to Be q Defaulter for
$4,000 and to Have Helped Steal Sal 900.
DENVER, Col, Sept 2l.-It is reported on
good authority that j. p. Williams. the re-
ceiving teller of the First National Bank.
is defaulter to the extent Of $780, and
has gone to Mexico. The first of last week
Williams was granted vacation for one
week, and took his family to the mount
aims. The day after his departure he re-
turned and gave as an excuse that he had
come back for some clothing which they had
forgotten. He disappeared that evening.
and nothing was thought about the matter
until to-day. when the bank officials re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Williams, asking
where her husband was. They became
suspicious and ordered an Investigation of
his books, which revealed deficit of over
5000. Further investigation shows that
the night of the day he returned to the
city was spent in a disreputable resort. and
that the next morning he purchased a
ticket for Paso del Norte. Detectives are
of the opinion that Williams is friend of
Wells, who held upn this bank several
months ago for $4,000. and that he has
gone to Mexico to Join him. The bank
officers refuse TO discuss the matter and
say there is no truth in the report.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR BELL

The appointment of Mr. Frank
Bell OF Reno as Lieutenant Govern
or has caused every Republican in
the State to feel as if Governor
Stevenson bad poured pitcher Of
ice water down his back.
Mr.. Bell may be very well fitted
for performing the duties OF the
sfice from ROW up to tho first day
OF January 1891. and so, for that
matter, can almost anybody in the
State who can read and write.
His Republicsnism. however, is
not of that sound character that
warrants him IN receiving any such
appointment, and Republicans,
generally throughout the State dep
recate the action OF Stevenson in
selecting, first, native OF Canada.
and second, man who is openly
charged in his own county with as
sisting to deliver it over to the
Democrats in 1886.
Mr.. Bell as Prison Warden did
not make success and there was
no party reason for giving him this
appointment. Is was doubtless
done to conciliate Mr.. Powning of
Washoe.
The Republican party in Nevada
is in possession OF decided ma
jority and does not need to concl-
late party kickers in Washoe or
any other county.
Such work simply places pre-
miun on mugwumpery and gives
notice to old line, regular up and
up, straight Republicanisn, that
they need expect nothing of the
party but q chance to work in the
campaign while the periodical
kickers sit at the table and divide
the pie.
But the Governor, ever since bis
assuming the responsibilities Of
Office has done the wrong thing at
the wrong time and it is too much
now to expect that he will change
his record in that respect.
He appointed Mr.. Chubbuck of
Nova Scotia and now he threws q
sop to the Canadian contingent.
The Governor did not consider
that he had enough native born
Americans, whose records as square
Republicans were without q blen-
ish, to select from.

THE FIRST ROUND LOST.

The FIRST round between the Gold
and Silver men has been fought
and the gold bugs have scored q
clean knock-down. The slectiss Of
Tom Reed as Speaker of the House
Of Representatives can be accepted
in no other light. Scores Of ex-
plantations may be offered, but the
bald fact remains the same, that
the Wall street influence has tri-
umphed. The gold men were well
organized, while the silver men
were not.
The silver men did not unite on
anybody in particular. The gold
men united solidlv on Reed and the
silver men scattered their forces
between Cannon, Burrows, McKin-
ley and Henderson.
These four candidates scored
enough on the first ballot to have
beaten Reed, combined. On the
second ballot several silver men
deserted their standard and went
over to Wall street.
Two California representatives
voted for Reed.
This, coming right on the heels OF
the st. Louis Convention, is indeed
discouragins, but we have all Win
ter before Us and the fight has only
just begun.

The California Delegation, no
matter where they are, can always
be depended on to makes asses of
themselves. At Chicago they
dished everything and at st. Louis
they paraded the streets with an
alleged silver banner held high in
the air while they shouted and
hurrshed. The silver banner was
friaged with gold and had big
geld ball on the top. Aisdi-
rected energies and lung exercise
seems to be about the only harvest
reaped whom a California delegation
gets East of the Rocky mountains.
