can be found in Tonopah who win viii

tain unanswered CORRESPONDENCE from the
BONANZA describes him of even bereft of
common honesty, and there are some half
dozen OF o state papers who will r
roborate this statement.
Tits probable that the lieutenant gov
ernor would grin his way into securing the
guoernatorial nomination, but he would be
forced to grin real loud before his election
would be assured.
The BONANZA always has a grccch up its
sleeve. 1t has a special dislike for any
man who happens to be 4 democrat. In
the eyes of the astute editor of that de-
lectable sheet, Democracy is a crime. It is
to be hoped that he will see the error of
his ways and stop his political backbiting
and become a citizen editor, interested in
the development of the state. There is no
room in this state for 4 political blather-
skite, even though he be an editor"
Here follows another of his e~ffusions
which show a d~isgruntled mind. There
are some really good things in the state
outside of Tonopah.
THE Rochester boom has subsidized and
hundreds of people are stranded in the
camp. The state of Nevada has received a
severe setback for recognition in the min
ing world, and the entire credit can be
placed upon the management of the Reno
press, where it rightfully belongs. It is
hoped that Reno will profit by the expert
ence and use a little judgment the next
time a mining strike is reported within this
state. The truth is always good enough
and no harm will result in its telling, but
when facts are exaggerated the real harm
Is always the result"
