description: The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

Wheu a candidate cannot be placed in a straight contest, it is idle to attempt to place him in the varied issues which he might be called itpori to face in the legislature. Candidate Hall was the first speaker. He referred to. the uncertain nature of his candidature, and sign in endeavored to explain where ho stood. He said that while he was absent from the city false reports had been circulated regarding him, and he desired to reiterate his position as an independent Liberal. In proof of this he quoted from an interview published in the Miner before the doctor flopped over to Martin, in which he was represented as stating that he was opposed to .Toe Martin as a leader, bub that he would go to Victoria to build up and not to tear down. Dr." Hull endeavored to make his hearers believe that his position was uuchunged on the subject of Mr. Martin. But it is different with the doctor iu Ymir.
