 fecting tho organization, Wingats being
 present at tho organization (sithOush no ono but minsry shouid b smsmbsrs). why should tho miners do otherwise thsn place the money they raised In tho hands of the two great champions of their csuse7 Tho
 miners, ever unsuspecting, know nothing about tho secret maneuvers of tho chamber of commerce, or that James B. Wingate and Donald Mclean were members, much less the whole thing in tho chamber of commerce. The miners organization was perfected and an attempt madc to raise tho money; but sufficient funds could not bo raised, % tho only thing accomplished was. few of the miners sent out for their outfits. So 1t is not known whether Wingate and Mclean would have got tho handling of tho funds had they boon raised; but there can be no eoubt but what that was their idea. If the chamber of commerce was . laudable enterprise, why was 1t that the members werc careful and vigilant in preventing the public from what its aims and objects wore, as well as to prevent 1t being known whom the members were3 People arc not generally ashamed of Q laudabls enterprise. Whether A. H. Monroe. commonly known as tho Yellow Mystery" was a member of the chamber of commerce Is not known; but 1t is known that he alway trained with that clique; and the next time their secret hand Is seen in the shadows Monroe is playing his part on tho outside. Surely their conduct has boon such as to at least cause 8 man of ordinary intelligence to look upon them with grave suspicion. They thought they were conducting aRairs In Rampant with such skill they could not be discovered, and In order to distract attention from thsm- selves and hold tho confidence of tho people tho Forum has boon used a blackmailing sheet to blacken tho character of honorable men who would not be parties to their ne- fariOus schemes.
