(This is one of the lies that it was
deemed inadvisable to send here, it

However, information has com ? to The
Alaskan to the effect that as palpable
a lie his been >ent from this city over
the length and breadth of the district
to the effect that "The Daily Aluski.n
han sold out to Corson." Of course the
ytorv is not b-Iieved but some have
askcn The Ala?kan to send out a denial
tor ?he en d <>f the c<use and to th< m
The Alaskan wireu this: "The Dully
A'.iskun is printlnt; with its every issue

ing the campaign of falsehood and mis
representation which, from Its inrej
t ion. has 1'een carried cn by the Ho.
Katt-C'orson com bin twion of which this
is ? fair simple." The beauty of It is
that : i ese silly lies, so easily proven to
be what ihey are, all work together to
pile up seutiment and votes la behalf of
Judge Wickersham? which is the main
consideration.? Kd.)

Wickersham is a favorite in the local betting at Nome at
four to five.
Commissioner Goodwin still maintains his refusal to
divulge the names of the judges of election named by him
or to admit that he has named any. The marshal's office
is active and has appointed special deputies for all polling
places in the Tanana as a precaution against illegal voting
and disturbances. The citizens have been notified that in
case no judges of election have been provided they may
act themselves. The people of the Tanatta are insisting
upon the same square deal to which they were accustomed
when Judge Wick-rsham occupied the bench.
