Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1896-01-11

contains a number Of interesting ar
ticles and on the whole is a very cred
table production. We hope it will
put many sheckels into the pockets
of it's publishers" t-
or course, the Rev. editor takes no
exception to the latter part of the
criticism, consequently it must have
been the first two sentences that
aroused his ire and caused him to
forget his sacred calling and heap the
cpithets OF liar and Judas Iscariot up
on the unregenerate head Of this
scribe. Nice business for preacher
of the Gospel of Christ, isn't it?
Now let us see who lies about the
edition in question having been print
ed in San Francisco. We were in
formed on reliable authority, while
the matter of subscribing for copies
and taking space therein by the
Board of Trade was pending before
the Committee on Press and Pamph-.
lets of the Board of Control, of which
this scribe is Chairman, that Rev.
Riddle said he was anxious to get the
manuscript of the article prepared by
the Board as he had to send it below.
Now, why di he have to send it be-
low if the composition and printing
were to be done at Deeth? Further
than this Mr.. Olney, the composition
Oh the Tidings, told this writer while
rustling one Sunday evening for this
paper, thesproceeds Of which were to
go into the pockets of this man OF
God, that this edition of the Tidings
was to be printed i'll San Francisco.
We can also prove that Mr.. Vardy,
the manager of the Tidings, made the
same statement to other parties in
Elko. Now, if there is lie out in
this matter its parentage has been
traced to each of the three men who
compose the force of the Tidings. 1t
was upon the statement of Rev. Rid
die and Mr.. Olney that our criticism
was based. Ii they told the truth,
our statement was true. If they did
not, we leave our readers to draw
their own conclusions.
The Rev. gentleman says "that
the work on every page of that edi-
ton was either done or superintendent
i'll this Office" meaning, of course, the
office of the Tidngs. The Rev. edit
or should have told us Just how much
work on every page was done in the
Tidings' Office, instead of flying The
track to wiring III the supervision OF
the matter that went into that great
edition of that great paper in order to
bolster up ii lying defence to Il truth
full charge.
The Cody editor next reads us a
homily on the Offices of newspaper
in which he thinks this scribe does
not possess the same spirit in news
paper work that animates him. We
thank God that we donot. The spirit
that causes this saint from the inner
to make false charges
against brother editor finds no rest
ing place i'll our heart. It's congenial
home is III the breast of the whited
sepulchre who steals the livery of
heaven in which to serve his Satanic
Majesty.
The last paragraph of the Rev.
editors screed is devoted to the abuse
of one or two members of the Board
Of Control'of the Eiko county Board
of Trade and Il fulsome offer of the
columns of his paper to the Board.
While we are not conscious of any act
of ours that by the widest magma
ton can be construed into betrayal
of the Board Of Trade, we believe that
we were in the preachers mind when
he penned the concluding paragra-
graph of his article. Although Jud.
as Iscariut betrayed the Savior, we
believe he was a better man than
Ananias to whose fate we refer the
