Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist
candidate for President, is tour
ing over the country speech
making in a Red Special train,
and living in grand style, with
Pullman sleepers, diners and
negro porters. Mr.. Debs is liy-
ing like a multi-millionaire at
present. Some one has to pay
for this S23,OO Red Special.
Mr.. Gompers is Of the opinion
that it is paid for by the Repub-
can party for Debs to try and
win over the Democratic labor
vote. One thing is plain that in
his speeches Debs devotes more
of his time attacking Bryan and
the Democratic party than he
does the Republican party. Why
attack the Democratic party /?
They are not in power and have
not been only two terms since
the Civil war. All OF our bad
laws and corrupt government is
the creation of the Republican
party. Yet Debs devotes most
of his speeches to attacking the
Democratic party who have been
out of power since Cleveland's
administration. Why is Debs so
thoughtful of the Republican
party-the party which alone is
responsible for the hard times
and corrupt government. One
thing is certain that Debs is not
feeling the hard times right now
riding over the country in a Red
Special at a cost of S23, 900, and
living in the lBxury of King.

vention. We state again that
George Coryell could have got
the nomination for mine inspec-
tor had the Custer county dele
gates voted with the Thompson
crowd to defeat French and
.O'Neil, and they had the power
to deliver the goods. 4 delegate
from Custer county told US that
he was asked TO Join the Thorn
pson, Heitman. Lansdon and
Hastings crowd and to vote for
Hamer for Congress and TO vote
for Heitman for state chairman,
and in consideration of such
votes they would give Custer
county mine inspector. but this
county was tied hand foot with
instructions and could not move.
A delegate told US this. So the
wonderful Dillingham; has prob
ably lied. He may not as dele
gate been asked to join the com
bination, because he is of the
two-bit would-be politician class,
and men of intelligence prefer to
consult with men of influence
and intelligence. This was why
Dillingham; was not consulted.
Brady had a slate" and his
was defeated, and he had TO keep
his hands of or go down in de-
feat. The Thompson got every
thing they wanted except Heit-
man for state chairman. because
the Shoshone delegates would
not turn down O'Neil. This is
why they needed the three votes
from Custer county so badly.

crippled teams to hit hard and the Hollys
proved no exception, as they hit Kelly
Iercely and frequently. p. Kelly must be
credited with GOODNESS and judgment in
pinches or he would have had a much
larger score stuck up against HIM. Catches
by the two Murphys and Hamilton, and
