The new daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1872-1873, 1872-10-17

ty effectually ShOuldered Nye on the
track; and Blasdal is not heard of. That
there should be some disappointments,
especially here in Carson where Nye's e.
forts have brought much of the present
prosperity, is not to be wondered at. No
body likes to be jostled out Of his chosen
place even if the jostling is unintentional;
and the fact, the not encouraging, not
even excusable fact, is, there is mlno--
ity of the party here and in Storey
county who do not relish being SO COM
pleteld o&errun by Mr.. Jones and his
friends, and this, added to the aforemen-
toned over-prominence OF this Senate
nal contest is having a very lamentable
effect upon the Republican party. We do
not excuse nor palliate this so-called sore
Medicines: for, although the prevailing
party machinery is wrong and defective,
it must be observed and regarded until
needed improvements can be substituted
in its place; but we do assure Mr.. Jones
and the conductors of the Enterprise that
it is no relief to disappointment to be
constantly tantalized with the charge of
soreheadism; that something besides the
gaining of technical advantages at the pri-
mary elections and in conventions Is
needed to call into active play the various
effective component parts of a political
organization; that it is not wise to ignore
even aquiet, inactive minority: and above
all. that candidate who, like Mr.. Jones,
is a new man in the field "a peculiarly
fresh aspirant to the highest Office in the
qft of the people of Nevada), is not do
ing justice either to himself or to the
party whose affairs are so largely in his
hands by holding back and keeping 9TH
ers held back SO long as he has done.
He will make public speech, for the first
time in all this exciting campaign, on
next Saturday night something more
than fortnight before the election, and
on the very day when the reg
istration closes. The Enterprise as
sumes that Mr.. Jones occupies the
position of the chosen Senator of the Re
publican party of Nevada; and yet that
paper tells US that none of US have any
right to murmur if this Coriolanus dis
painfully refuses to show his scars In the
market place! Would it not have been
fairer if Mr.. Jones had fully declared HIM
self before the primaries were held? The
Enterprise says that Jones' Republican
ism and sympathy with Grant are indu-
| bitable. We dislike to seem incredulous
of SO good sponsor: and We try not to
be; and yet, while neither expressing nor
implying any suspicious of our own, we
know whereof we speak when we say that
there are many. or, if not many, at least
few, good, faithful Republicans, very
earnest friends of this party and very
strenuous advocates of the reelection of
Grant who would like to have it explain
ed to their satisfaction why it is that while
SO renowned and admirable a man as
General Grant and so answering pat
riot as Senator Nye are persistently
abused by the Democratic press of this
State, every Democratic paper in Neva-
da, with one exception, treats Mr.. Jones
candidacy with the utmost tenderness and
respect. These men feel, (and their
feelings are to be respected) that any
candidate whose walk and conversation
are so marvelously unoffending to the
Copperhead and Postum press of this
state must be lacking in soundness; and
we may say to him, remembering that he |
is to speak to the people of Virginia on |
the evening of the day after tomorrow,
that he will serve well himself and his
party if he then will open SO wide a gulf
between himself and the Liberal Repub-
lean, Passive Democratic Conglomera-
ton of this State as shall proclaim him
the fearless and uncompromising cham
pion of Radical Republicanism and its
nominees. If he would rather be fatter-
ed and caioled and excused and compared
to Henry of Navarro than be thus blunt
ly and frankly treated and advised, we
may have no more to say in councelling
the generally acknowledged leader of the
Republicans of Nevada. We tell him in
all honesty and earnesfness that he will
