participation in the Haymarket riot His
action during the great Pullman railroad
str Ie in Chicago in 1894. when he failed
TO call ont troops and President Cleye-
land himself ordered them to the scene
of trouble, was also subject of much
debate.

advocate OF the free coinage of silver and
the municipal ownership of public utili-
ties. In the municipal campaign of 1899
A!tgeld bottled the nomination of Harri-
son for Mayor and was defeated as an
Independent candidate.

umns of his paper. That is the only OBJ
lection which can be made to them. His
latest dream is in effect that Lovelock is
to be made a division point instead Of
Winnemucca In describing the vision,
to advance what he claims to be "rea-
sons" for making such a change. We
quote them just to show the flights which
his imagination takes sometimes:
1.-THE railroad has taken out four stalls
at Winnemucca. 1t is announced that
the has decided not to build at
Reno. Wadsworth is to be abandoned.
the mountain traffic. Lovelock would be
about the right distance from Truckee
for another division point. Humboldt is
talked Of. but that is too far. 1t is
known that the company has refused to
sell any more of its lots in Lovelock. In
Loveiock is being considered as a division
point"
OF course, everyone knows that Reno Is
to be made a division terminal and that
IT is out of reason for the company to
make Lovelock, 100 miles away, another
terminal. The Tribune editor has another
dream coming.
