 platform (pointing to Shackleford). He had agreed to the appointment of Judge Lyons and immediately got shoals of letters from all parts of the country protesting against the judges appointment. He saw the attorney-general and asked that Judge Lyons be sent to Fairbanks for the first year. He came and made good. He has the respect of everybody, and the speaker had stated the only objection he had to him.
 Delegate Favors Railroads.
 One of his friends, for whom he had the greatest respect, had said that but for the delegate Alaska would have had railroads, and Shack leford also had said so. They had said that he was trying to prevent railroads. Now he had introduced the Joslin bill, and had tried hard to get that bill reported by the committee, or any bill. He lost be- cause Shackleford opposed him, and all in the interest of that great mon opoly, the Alaska syndicate, which controls the White Pass railroad, and owns the Boyle concessions in the Klondike, where all that miners can do is to get a job from the Guggenheims.
 The Octopus Again.
 When the Humboldt had sought relief from the restrictions placed upon landing it's freight at Skagway | it was opposed by the Alaska syndi- cate. The Humboldt was pushed | from the wharf, and no steamers at | all were allowed to land at the White Pass wharf. Cordoya was also owned by the Alaska syndicate, ex- cept the waterpower, and that was controlled by Shackleford, and if they had got this bill relating to the Cordova waterfront through they would have owned the Pacific ocean in that neighborhood. The AL aska Central was owned by the Alaska syndicate. They and another company controlled the fisheries worth 11,000,O00. What did we get | bnt

He gave them fair warning and if he was re-eleced that bill with what We have rather than ac- cept the Beveridge bill Abe Spring l had come to him and asked him to support the Beveridge bill. He had told Abe that he was a Jew. He had reminded him of the centuries of oppression through which the Jew ish nation had passed since the days of the Babylonian captivity, through military forms of government He had told Spring that he ought to be ashamed to go there and advocate such bill MT Wickersham said that the Jews of Fairbanks should take Abe Spring out and cruelty him. Cheers, and a movement to- wards the misel able and trembling Abe)
 Somebody had been knocking Al aska railroad building He would show them.
 The Alaska syndicate started the road through the Keystone canyon. They abandoned it and went to Ka- talla. The people of Valdez con- menced to build a narrow guage road through the canyon. The Gug- genheims sent Hasey to the canyon with instructions to shoot, and you (pointing to Shackleford) defended them. Hasey rose from behind a rock and shot three men in the back, who were unarmed and were running from him in terror. Shackle ford had defended him. The Gug- genheims provided a corruption fund of s70,000. They fixed the grand jury. The attorney-general has his agents in Valdez at present investi-
