Ely is the best advertised mi
ming camp in the west. 1t is at
tracing more attention in mi
ming circles than Tonopah, Gold

is now talked about in the west
ern part of the state, more than
any mining section in the west.
Even New Workers. are better
posted as to what is going on
here than men are who have
lived here for a generation.
Everything is moving toward
the Apex of great development.

The capital stock of the COM

BLAME FOR MlSHAP IN

Inquiry Court Recommends Trial by
Court Martial of Commander and

Washington, Sept. S.-Secretary
Bonaparte has made public the opinion
OF the court of inquiry which examin-
ed into the circumstances of the COLI
sion of the Alabama and Illinois on
July 21 off Brenton's reef. The court
recommends trial by court martial of
Captain Samuel P. Comley, command
ing the Alabama, and Lieutenant AL
fred w. Pressey, officer of the deck on
the Alabama, for negligence in suffer
ing vessel of the United States to be
hazarded."
The opinion then recites the circum-
stances and says that the Alabama.

steered of a few points and also
slowed down, coming almost to
standstill, although it was known that
the Illinois was coming forward at a

In First Paragraph.
1.-The very first paragraph in Bryan
speech on me and on the Illinois situ
alton contains deliberate untruth
Practically every succeeding paragraph
contains either a deliberate untruth or
equivocation of the kind we expect only
from a shifty. word-juggling pettifogger
Bryan says he wrote me letter asking
me to resign in the interests of the
democratic party. This is not true.
Bryan knew it was not true. He never
wrote me letter. He did write Judge
o. p. Thompson in which he told Judge
Thompson to tell me- he wanted me to
resign from the national committee"
Sullivan then declares Bryan's asser-
ton that he held his seat on the ma
tional committee by fraud was refute.l
two wears ago at ST. Louis by the ma
tional convention itself and that he
(Sullivan) had not asked for endorse
ment from the state convention in.
stead of resigning in "the interests of
the party" as Bryan said he had.
No RepudInting Statement.
Sullivan says Bryans statement that
he had written statement from dele
gates to the Illinois convention repudi-
ating him is untrue and bryan knew
ii was untrue when he made it, Sui
livan says the same statement was
made at st. Louis and was there. chal-
lenged, but Bryan never substantiated
it with evidence. Bryan claimed to
have 500 signatures to that statement,
Sullivan says. but never presented such
time presented a telegram and affida-
Wits certifying that nearly all sigma
lures presented by Bryan and his asso-
ciates were forgeries.
Sullivan accuses Bryan of having ad-
vised his particular friends in Illinois
to bolt the democratic ticket, and asks,
"Is this the measure of Bryan's party
fealty? Is this the way Bryan proposes
to help elect a democratic congress 2"
Accused of Insincerity.
Bryan says, My political assets are
the confidence the people have in my
Bryan has twice led the
democratic party to defeat, the second
a worse defeat than the first. If he is
proud of the evidence of the peoples
in his sincerity, he is well
come to it.
Bryan thinks 1t wrong to make mon
ey out of politics. This boast of his
puts the stamp of insincerity all over
him. If Bryan thinks it wrong to make
money out of politics. he should quit
making money Bryan has not one
Rock Island Argus., 1906-09-08

n Failure and n MOuntebank.
''He tried to be a lawyer; he was a
failure at it. He tried to be a news
paper editor; he was a failure at that.
He is now man of property. AS for
tunes go, he is a rich man. He made
every dollar of his fortune out of poll
tics as a stepping stone to the lecture
platform. Bryan discovered many years
ago he could make his political prom
inence pay. He is a shrewd advertiser
and in his way clever business man.
He has discovered that so long as he is
a candidate for president and a possi-
Bile nominee, gifted with an ability to
weave flowing sentences into well
rounded periods, the public will come
to hear him at SO much a head.
He is in politics because it helps
the gate receipts. Like the actresses
who have discarded the stolen diamond
dodge for the greater publicity of the
divorce suit. Bryan will quit running
for president and will quit politics just
as soon as he discovers some other
form of advertising which will bring
more dollars to the box office when he
is announced to appear on the stage"
Would Poll Delegates.
Reverting to Bryan's accusation of
fraud in Sullivan's election to the ma
tional committee, Sullivan makes this
challenges:
IF l hold my position on the dem
ocratic national committee by fraud.
ought to resign. If Bryan has falsely
accused me of profiting by fraud then
he ought to quit running for president.
because no man is fit to be candidate
for that high Office who goes out in
public and lies about any member of
his party. Therefore. l propose that
Bryan and l put the issue as between
us up to the men who sat as delegates
at the Springfield convention two years
ago. Those delegates are still living.
They can all be found. Bryan says a
majority were opposed to me for ma
tional committeeman. He has said that
he had at St. Louis a letter from more
than half the delegates in which they
repudiated the action of the convention
which resulted in my becoming nation
al committeeman. Let us poll those
delegates Let us have this poll made
under direction of the chief justice of
the supreme court of Illinois. If a ma
jority of those delegates will support
Bryan's present contention and will
say | was elected to the national COM
mittee by fraud. then will resign from
the national committee. On the other
