appear to be the fad in Nevada at
the present time, and the latest
party to acquire the habit is the
bull moose aggregation at Reno. Il
is planned by the alleged leaders
of that sect to start a paper, the
plant TO cost 100000 In announcing
the plans of the moosers the Reno
Gazette has the following to say:
There is $60,0O0 in the hands OF
the progressives of this state with
which TO start a daily paper Such
is said to be the statement OF Sar-
dis Summerfield, bull moose candi-
date for United States senator The.
money is not in the keeping Of Col.
Reeves, nor is ii Confederate money
nor in three-cornered dimes.
Sixty thousand dollars-count 'eml
II is to be an afternoon paper, ac-
cording to the announcement, and It
is presumably to take the place of
the Bugle listen The Bugle was
started in this city some weeks ago
by gentleman who came here for
purpose possibly to start the pa.
per. He fluted with the prospective
candidates and finally got very close
to Col. Reeves, who was then leader
Of the bull moose cohorts In the
state. Reeves. according to the
editor and general manager of the
Bugle. promised 20 finance the ven
ture However. when funds failed
to appear. the Bugle crept close e
the new leaders of the bull moose
party and was seen in close confer
ence with Senator Flanagan, the mar
who wrote the now famous letter tC
Col Reeves threatening him will
criminal prosecution unless he KEEP
his hands off the Summerfield
Springmeyer contests but who neve
carried through the threat, ant
, Flanagan is reputed to have agreed
TO stand back of the Bugle will
the funds of the bull moose party
He might have done this had no
Col. Reeves been the custodian o
the funds II is apparent tha
Reeves is still custodian, for tn
Buele blew its last blast.
II would have taken about $500 o
/. $1,000 to have financed the Bugl,
possibly more if the original pla
a of importing printing outfit frol
Truckee or some other nearby poir
= had been carried out But tn
i, Truckee plant was not disturbed no
) was the fund which the bull mooser
could not get their fingers on
: SO now, after failure to finance
/ little $500 proposition. the bu
moosers announce the establilshmeI
i of 100000 newspaper Going up
3. II isn't Chairman Lind who make
10 the announcement Mr. Lind is nj
the announcing kind. He tends striC
n. ~ TO business and will not eve

4 paper men. which is merely an |
~ dieation that he is new to the bus
10 ness of playing politics and shou
m not be counted against him. N
N. does George Springmeyer, YOUTH
hut belligerent candidate for co
gressman on the bull moose tick'
make the announcement Sprir
meyer has his hands full in devio
Is other ways, contests for offie
ay which have almost run their cours
M and such trifles occupy too much
Ter his valuable time to allow him
da make 100000 newspaper announ'
ie' ments.
&C. SO il was left to Sardis SUNNI
'V field, in the absence of former st;
Senator Flanagan in San Francis
to make the announcement, and
-, order to keep the matter absolute
,an secret until the plans were comp
.aa ed and the machinery on the grou
