Mohave County miner., 1896-11-07

The Pheuix Republican says that contrary to it's expectations the fight in this territory was not be- tween 0'Neill and Doran but be- tween Smith and O'Neill; that Smith at the last moment degel- oped great strength and carried the day without an effort. Had the Republican editor been as observ. ant as other people it would have realized that it's man, Doran, was not in it from the start.

he democratic rally Tn Lakes Hall last Monday evening was we'll attended because of the interest taken in the controversy between the MINER and w. H. Lake. Hon. Foster 5. Dennis presided over the meeting and on taking the chair made a neat, and at times, eloquent speech on the issues of the cam paign. J M. Murphy followed with rambling talk on the decadence of the Roman Empire and other noncommittal subjects and was followed by W. H. Lake with his explanation of the tax business. He explained that the reason he wanted to be elected was that he had been at acked and that the peopl, should vindicate him at the polls. He said that he had collect ed the excessive tax, as stated by the MINER last week, and after cor recting it on his original roll the supervisors ordered him to pay it into the treasury, which he did in a subsequent quarter. He did not accept the challenge of Anson H. Smith, nor did he show by single affidavit that he was telling the truth. Now, that the election is over we again reiterate our state ment of last week that Mir. Lake took the excessive tax and put it into hi- pocket and not one dollar ever saw it's way into the county treasury. Not only will we show this up and prove it to the satisfac- ton of the grand jury, but we will also place before them matters never dreamed of by the people of this county regarding county affairs. MT, Lake charged that we had this evidence in our hands months ago. In this he stated an untruth The earliest we could have placed it be- fore the people was on the 24th of October, but at that time we be- lieved it too late to allow Mir. Lake to make a denial and substantiate his denial with evidence, and the fact is well known that it was not the intention Gl the editor to make the matter Eublic for some time to , come until MT. Lake challenged us to do so. Now, the matter will be ! thoroughly ventilated.
