Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1873-11-22

truth and justice and good morals i
always the same in whatever guise i
may be clad. 1t is possible, as w
now discover, that in our zeal for tn
cause of Republication we hav'
spoken with unwarrantable Levitt.
and in an unjustiiable tone o
depreciation of the Society of Gran
gers. We are suddenly confronted
with evidence which leads us to this
self-doubting. We discover the same
in the Reno Crescent of Thursday
Says the stern and incorruptible Re
former who presides over that poor
but honest hebdomadal:
We unhesitatinsly say that We are a
Granger. Not by initiation, but ii
spirit. The very fight that this oreani
zation proposes to make, We have had
| on our hands for years; suffered defeats
innumerable, ISLANDERS and villifcations,
| until We can no longer sleep on the night
| that fellows the day. during which DC
| man lied about u.s. But we think we sec
daylight inst ahead, and we propose
whether We shall be able TO help the
good cause or not, to join in the glad
shout that goes up, when the Changers
shall have redeemed our country from
the misrule Of corporations.
1t is the feeling tone in which this
declaration of faith and hope is
made that makes Us pause and reflect.
and take under consideration our
own moral attitude Can We oppose
this good being, this gooder than
Goodman, and be right? He is not
a Granger by initiation, nor yet by
vaccination, but in spirit" One
can't always judge by appearances.
Snarieyow don't look like a Granger
in spirit. He looks deal more like
a perverted Mormon Elder suffering
from the chronic effects of poison
oak. This shows that you can't al
ways tell who is spiritualistic. And
vet, dreadful rs Lewis is to look
upon he is tso pure and proud and
uncontaminated to allow himself and
his party to be run by Joe Goodman.
In the fervid honesty of his nature
the sentiment which oozes out of
him, repelling all such eleventh
hour converts as Goodman, breathes
this tone:
We must not hopG to b mowers.
And to gather the ripe. gold cars,
Until We have been sewers.
and watered the burrows with tears.
Our readers will understand our
feelings better by analysing their
own sentiments than by anything VIC
can say. And yet, We are free to I'D
nit, that in the connection used, it
might, by the unreGenerate, be
deemed a legitimate paraphrase upon
the verse above quoted to SO far
change its construction as to make it
read thus:
To be political hoc-er
And work with the Changers, a'fcll,
Your Head should be known TO be sore,
Since soreheads first were revealed.
Besides the material and indubita-
BILE evidence of high motive which
Lewis avowal of his own spiritual
presence in the Granger movement
attests, we have the instance, already
to in these columns, of the
moral support awarded, with beau
tiful spontaniety of effort, to the en-
bryo organization, by that we'll
known and oft summoned Cincin-
natus of the political pillow, the Hon
orable Joseph Woodwork, of the
city of Cariin. This is a moral in
fiuence which is scarcely inferior. if
it 5e inferior, to the attitude lately
maintained with SO admirable effect
by the Hon. Morris Pinchower OF
Storey county. 1t is sudden con-
sciousness Of the lifting Of the
Granger movement above the dead
waste and level of mere sordid poll
ties by these protO Reformers which
us to modify and reconstruct
our tone of comment concerning the
same.
