OUT FOR THE STUFF.

Earnest L. Bingham, the man who
walked out Of the Silver Party con-
v~ention at Reno, aud who is now run
ming for State Senator in Elko County
and is denouncing Stewart and yell
ing Home Rule, is thus e1npaled by
the Elko Argonaut.
In his speeches Throughout; this
country Ernest L. Bingham has de
nounced as "a lie the charge pub
lished IN the Argonaut that he ever
said literally or in substance that the
Silver party managers"had got to put
up" that he was "out for the stuff"
In justice to Mr.. Bingham and to
themselves we name the following
gentlemen who allege that he, the
said Bingham, did in their presence
say in substance what we have alleg-

There are others beside Mr.. Bing-

ducks in the town are those that belong

erected about this Enclosure a high
chicken wire fence so hat his ducks
could not get out. But on the lower
side of the pasture. where the stream
let went through. there was space
enough between the wire screen N
the water for the ducks to get through
and escape, and so Mr.. Greening drove
down some stakes, side by side. into the
bottom OF the stream to prevent the
ducks from getting out. Then the ducks
rose magnificently TO their o%pportunl-

They assembled in the rivulet close up
