nnrAS.s spEoIrIo DENIAL.

William j. Bryan has made a flat
footed denial OF the charge that he is
or has been in the employ ot the
silver mine owners. In his denial he
says: Il have never at. any time or
under any circumstances been in the
employ Of any mine owners. individ-
ually or collectively, directly OF in
directly, nor have l ever been in the
employ OF or been paid by any BIZ
metallic or silver advocates Mr..
Bryan then goes ON to state that out
side OF his salary of $3.50 per month
Us editor of the Omaha World Herald
and Il small amount derived from the
practice OF his profession, his income
since his retirement from Congress
has been derived entirely from
lectures before Chataqua lyceums and
lecture bureaus, which have usually
paid him 4 fixed sum, and from con-
tributions made by the people of the
localities where he has spoken. In
some instances he says he received
nothing at all and in most cases not
more than enough to cover his
travelling expenses. In only two in
stances has his compensation ex-
ceeded 800, and Ill these instances it
was about 900 at one place and
about 1900 at another.
After making this specific denial OF
the charges made in Senator Thurs
toms letter, MI. Bryan states that the
first platform on which he run for
Congress in 1890 contained Il free
coinage plank and i'll 1892 he again
a on a free coinage platform. He
also wrote the free coinage plank in
the platform Oh which he ran in 1890,
and the free coinage planks in the
Nebraska State platforms of 1891
1894. 1898 and 1896 and tried to secure
the adoption of free coinage planks
In the State platforms OF 1892 and
1893. He mentions these facts to
show that his advocacy Of free silver
is not of recent date.
Having answered the charges made
against him, MIR. Bryan says he will
take no further notice Of individual
or newspaper comments upon this
subject. He then says: IF the Re-
publican National Committee will
say officially that it believes | have
ever been employed to deliver
speeches by mine owners or any
association supported by mine
owners, am ready to make a state
ment showing i'll detail all the money
received by me for spccch-making."
MIR. Bryan's denial OF the grave
charges made against him is direct
and explicit. He leaves no room for
his Political opponents to place a
false construction upon his words.
His denial has the ring of truth and
will be 50 taken by the American
people irrespective OF party.
Senator Thurston who first gave
circulation to the charges against Mr..
Bryan said when he read his denial:
MIR. Bryan's word goes with me, and
am glad TO state so to the people of
this country. MIR. Bryan has denied
the charge, which WINS made by a
Democratic newspaper, and | have no
hesitation in declaring that believe
him.
THIS ctfectually spikes the biggest
gun i'll the Republican mud battery
and Hanna and his millionaire sup
poTters will now have to seek for
other campaign lies. with which to
besmirch the record OF the peoples
champion.

ATrEsrIoS. DEMOCRATS,

BY the call published elsewhere it
will be seen that the Democratic
county committee has called u phi
mary election to be held ON the 18th
day OF August for the purpose OF
electing delegates to the county coz
vention to he held at the courthouse
in Elko on the 18th day Of September.
The inspectors Of election III the var
ious precincts are requested to for
ward the returns without delay to
John Henderson. Secretary Of the
committee, EIko, Nevada. 1t is hop
ed that the Democrats Of Elko coun-
ty will attend the primaries in force
and see that men who will carry out
their wishes are sent us delegates TO
the convention.
While the members OF the county
committee are earnest, sincere silver
men, they believe that the time has
come for Democrats TO march Us such
under the banner unfurled by the
Democratic National convention. In
doing so, they believe they car best
subsarve the cause offree coinage and
strengthen Bryan and Sewall, the
gallant leaders OF the new Democ-
racy.
They, therefore, appeal to all old
line Democrats OF Elko county to
come back to the party fold and as.
sist in the election of honest, capable
men to fill the various county offices
for the next two years. They also
earnestly invite members Of all other
parties who favor the election at Bry-
an and Sewall to unite with them in
the accomplishment OF this purpose.

! and every Christian heart Will rejoice
To-day when Easter bells proclaim thar
the forty days of sorrow are passed and
the Redeemer of Man has indeed risen
from the grave" Throughout the Chris
& tian world to-day, wherever Gods people
are assembled, there will be- services IN
honpr Of the resurrection. The church
altars will be .ablaze with light, and
fragrant with flowers of rich distilled
perfume, and Songs of joy will go up
