SPARE MR.. FOX!
he Doesn't want to he District Attorney. and
Who Else Wants Him Tor

Austen G. Fox dropped in at the Cts head
quarters yesterday somewhat disturbed in mind.
He had come all the way from the North Woods
to work for the Cts who had nominated him for
District Attorney. The first thing that struck
his eyes yesterday morning was an announce
ment in several papers that he WAS to be with
drawn and Olcott Endorsed. Boss Reynolds
consented to receive him after he had waited
in the hall fifteen minutes, and after a confab
of as many more Mr.. Fox came out smiling. He
had been assured that nobody wanted him to
withdraw.
Il do not want the Office" he said, with his
eyes on the ceiling. ut will be with great re-
luctance that ! will undertake It's duties. The
cares and worries OF public Off co are extremely
distasteful to me. l prefer the quiet Of my
practice, not the noise OF public life. But In a
light like this Mr.; Fox sighed long and deepl a
man who Is called and docs not answer to his
name is q coward. ! shall not desert the cause
nor do they wish me to-"
Mr.. Fox stalked out OF the house, and Simon,
the messenger. wiped a tear from his face and
said:

1t may, perhaps, be thought that the
above assertion is an extravagant one,
and so it would be were not the un-
questionable proofs present to verify it.
Within the past few years the claims
made more than ten years ago have
been admitted by the highest Scientific
authorities, both in Europe and Amer
lea, and it is with pleasure that we pre-
sent herewith some remarkable repro
duced statements, together with the
faces of the men who made them.

Portraits OF the British Premier Onered TO tho
New York Voting Public.
The alleged portraits OF Presiding Justice Van
Brunt OF the Supreme Court, which have been
published since his denomination, are really
portraits Of the Marquis OF Salisbury. Justice
Van Brunt had for many years refused to have
a photograph taken. although there is a largo
painting and q correct likeness of him at the
Appellate Division. Some years ago Q COM
yers and Judges. and Justice Van Brunt would
not then sit for a photograph.
Some one told those who were making the
compilation, perhaps as a joke. that q picture of
the Marquis of Salisbury would give q fair idea
OF the Judge. So a picture Of the Marquis WAS
put In the centre and prominent lawyers and
Judges were grouped about The Marquis of
Salisbury. 1t Is from this compilation that the
newspaper portraits OF Justice Van Brunt have
been taken. The portrait Is not a good portrait
of Salisbury. 1t does not resemble Justice Van
Brunt at all.

Unites the warning Republican Factions In

There Is ono Assembly district In this county
where the Hon. Seth Low has proved a ~unifyinR
force to bring together warning factions OF the
Republican party that have been at logRerheads
for four years and more. Probably tho strongest
Assembly district organization which the Mil
holland Republicans ever had in the city was
that in the sixteenth district. led by William II.
Huber. Huber has been allied with the Brook

indorse Low for Mayor was too much Tor his par
tisanship. He quit lighting the machine. shook
hands with George Hilliard, the organization
leader in the district, and declared his intention
to help elect Gen. Tracy to the Mayoralty.
Huber and his friends were met In the spirit
which rompted them to return to tho regular
organization. and Samuel A. Koenig, ono of the
brightest Of Hnber,s iieutenants, was promptly
for Assembly.
The Gifts claim the Sixteenth as their banner
district. The fact is that they have hardly tho
skeleton Of an organization there.

Purity Of Elections Law

The Nevada Press Association met in
Carson City last Friday and it was u
nanemousIy resolved to work for the re-
peal of the Purity OF Elections law. The
most purity that can be found in the
law is its purity to promote perjury and
that is patent to all who have worked
under it. In many cases mentioned it
was shown that candidates for office
were not permitted to spend money
enough to make the circuit and meet the
people to talk with them and ascertain
their wishes and desires in regard to
county and state affairs. The news
papers were not paid for legitimate and
necessary advertising and received about
two cents on the dollar for the work per-
formed during the last campaign.
Realizing that the law puts premium,
on perjury by encouraging misstate-
ments several county conventions pledg-
ei their nominees to work for the re-
peal of the law and their representatives
in the legislature will act accordingly
and measures will be introduced to that
end. The newspaper men discussed the
proposition thoroughly and deemed it
better to repeal the law in its entirety
than to further complicate matters by
making any amendments. The Aus
tralian ballot law and the restrictions
against the corrupt use of money meet
all requirements and are the safeguards
desired by the so-called purity law.
That the repeal of the Purity of Elections
law would be satisfactory to the large
majority goes without saying.

When this Is well under way it is only
a matter of time until the merits of the
proposition will begin to be appreciated
by mining spectators, who will in turn
help to keep the ball rolling.
The value of the mines now drowned
