Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1873-07-09

We HAVE 4 very strong anu uhsh''--e Il
faith in CT heral o. o. Howard we
have intiInated this before. He has, SO
FIR as we can see, never attempted To
shield himself behind any technic',!lsles
cr o,,ibbles. When We catch him 1T that
sort of artful lodging, q Ia Smiier Col
fax, then We shall suspect hira as We do
S,u,Ier. But Howard, as we beieve, Is
made Of the real, Simon Pure stuff which
his moral and religious professions as
sert him to be. He was TO the Federal
cause in one respect, what Stonewail
Jackson was to the rebel cause. He Is n
6.hting reli. ious enthusiastic Puritan
warrior. General Nathaniel Lyon, u
native of Connecticut, who was Killed
at the Battle of Wilson's Greek, IN Mis-
.ouri- Was of the same sort OF material.
Howard is the kind Of man that Colfax
and his stripe OF political pietis's pre-
tend to be. That our faith in Howard
seems in fair way to lie Justified We
reproduce the following in evidence:
