Various publications Dotn in and out of the First Division. have attempted to cloud the issues have vainly endeavored to find dis crepencies in his decisions, handsome majority of which have been upheld by the Appellate Court, and have vcousy attacked his record during the past four years, seeking to discolor this record And yet in the face of attacks view of the searchght of publicity constantly playing both the personal and judicial life, and in spite of the weight of gubernator ia machine crush and annihate, the judicial er- mine will continue for the next four years, as in the past four to be by the Hon.

The committee met pursuant to a call from the chairman at the suggestion of Delegates Sulzer who desirious of providing liberal lease system etc, to encourage the opening of the great coal fields of the Territory In due tme the Delegate was called upon to give his view All throughout his argument, he interrupted repeatedly by various members of the committee who asked him all kinds of questions. Strange to say, his answers appear of record before do not show single in, stance where he attacked any of any wrong in tenton Accused of conspiracy, but merely stated that which he considered should be done to the opening of the mines.

DISPATCH MAN-BATS RETURN TO PLAGUE IT

In answer to a statement by the Dispatch
 the Empire said last Thursday that while

 said so but the Dispatch also remembers that
 1t then told the Empire that using that word
 airected was meant to make the people think
 Grigsby was Instructed" by Solberg to use his
 proxy against the Governor. In answer to
 that charge at the time the Empire got out
 or 1t by saying it was sure Grigsby would never
 use proxy unless as he had been instructed.
 But Grigsby who right here did not have
 the nerve to say he had been instructed to
 use the proxy against the Governor. Once
 the proxy against the Governor without the
 knowledge of Solberg, and once again it says
 that neither the Empire nor Grigsby was able
 to deny it. The truth of the matter is that
 Solberg, not knowing of the plot against his
 M oid friend. the Governor and trusting Grigs-
 by. told him to the proxy in the best of
 Of his judgment. When that proxy was used
 aaI against the Governor it was known that Sol
