ton was rushed through denouncing
him.
The rest is open history, Stewart was
elected, and Newlands was everywhere
denounced as a man devoid of honor.
1t is very old, also true saying that
truth crushed to earth will rise again,
and curious thing about her is that
those who threw her down are often
the ones who put her upon her feet
again.
/ THE APPOINTMENT OF PATTERSON.
1t proved so in this case. Hardly
two months had elapsed when DR. Pat
terson, the man who at the instigation
of Wallace had tried to coax the Re-
publicans into nominating him can
didate against Newlands, the man who
had offered at 'his own expense to
tour the State making gold bug
speeches, was at the instigation of
Wallace, appointed to the latest job
it the gift of the Silver Party State
government.
That appointment revealed every
thing; the shameless compact between
Stewart and Wallace on the one hand
and Patterson on the other, yet the
hoary headed fraud and his black led
captain had had the shameless effront-
cry to go about the State screaming
sstreachery'' with all their lungs, while
they themselves were stepped to their
finger tips in the black mire of treason.
It would be laughable were it not
damnable. 1t forcibly reminds one of
Iago crying murder after he has
thrust the knife into Roderigo.
And the most astounding thing
about it all is that @. c. Wallace is to-
day whispering the same charge of
treason in the ear of every man who
will listen, from Elko to Esmeralda,
from Washoe to White Pine.
The next surprise the faithful work
ers in the Silver Party of Nevada re-
ceived was when George Humphrey,
luc uSitdtco DcHlOSiotiS SahuiA"oO IVA
State Controller received salve for
his wound in the shape of an appoint
ment to the position of Commissary at
the State Prison. Wallace said it was
a reward for Humphreys work on be-
half of Stewart, but what that work
was, Mr.. Wallace has, up to date, de-
clined to specify.
Referring to Humphrey, it might
not be out of place at this juncture to
state that in the campaign of 1913, Wal
lace did his best to elect Humphrey
Controller, and Wallace dare not deny
this. We can prove that letters were
sent to Wallace's friends in Searchlight
and other places in this State, asking
them to vote for Humphrey, and these
letters were sent at the instance of the
boss. Act of treachery No. 3.
Wallace tells Davis and Turritin that
he did this to split the vote and elect
them. If they believe it, nobody else
does.

cent for reiteration. Wallace's work
against fusion when he attempted to
make the Silver Party State Conven-
ton declare against it; where he voted
the proxies of dead men, and non-resi-
dents and men who had left the Silver
Party. How he used every artifice,
trick and vile of the crooked politician,
and fought with the desperation of a
cornered rat, and yet failed in his
obiect-all this is fresh in the minds of
the people, as is also the fact that Wal
lace is to-day still touring the State
and talking against fusion and calling
TRAITOR to the man he betrayed
He also says that this is his fight and
asks the people of Nevada to destroy
fusion and stultify themselves on ac-
count of his petty grudges. Gould inn
pudence go farther?
To give plain, dispassionate ac-
count of Wallace's perfidy, to dispel
the prevalent impression that New
lands was the traitor in 1898, has been
the purpose of the above article, which
consists of nothing more than plain
statement of accepted facts. He who
reads cannot fail to be convinced
