Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-09-12
JACK HARRIS left Hamilton yesterday

house. among whom there were MANY
ladies. He just went for Sharon, the
California Bank, the hireling press and
the Phoebe RECORD. We happened to
enter the hall when he was giving us
particular fits. and we enjoyed it hugely.
Mr.. Sutro Vas dsnouncing the "dunkey
press" which was bought and hired to
Willy him. We are not acquainted
with the buying; SO We will let that mat.
ter rest, but We could not help thinking
that il Sharon, the Bank of California or
their money away. Mr.. Sutro represents a
any other man we're buying people to
oppose Mr.. Sutro they were throwing
tunnel. an undertaking by which be ex.
poets to steal the great Comstock lead
from its rightful owners. They, as most
men would, object, and then Mr., Sutro
bucks and calls every one hard names Who
does not agree with him. Now Mr.. Sutro
may think he has an indefeasible right 70
the profits Of the Comstock. but the
owners Of that ledge do not see
it in that light. and think. and We believe
justly, that Mr.. Sutro has no right TO tell
them how they shall work, use or dis
pose Of their own property. Directly
these poor innocents assert their priyi.
lege Of disposing Of their own property
as to them may seem best. Away goes
Sutro. and says they are scoundreis, liars
and thieves, and the press that supports
them is IN the same category. This Is
all very well, but IL will not win. Sutro
may keep on denouncing all those who
oppose his pet notion Of stealing the
Comstock, but his CURSES and groundless
accusations, will expend themselves in
the air without producing any effect but
o most unmitigated contempt for the
man who utters them. In the course of
an extended newspaper exprisnce We
have always carefully avoided ANYTHING
like personal illusions, but Mr.. Sutro
places himself without the pale Of the
courtesy that should always characterize
the remarks OF opponents, and assails
all who oppose him with the vilest abuse.
He says he 10 vilifisd, but il his antago-
nists can mako dirtier charges or apply
meaner epithets than he uses, then We
have lost our guess. We, however, do
not propose to enter the lists with Mr..
Sutro as professor o: blackeuardism.
We shall leave him to enjoy that unenvi.
able distinction. We will. however, tell
him this, that il he thinks he can over
come his opponents by the liberal use OF
Biilingsgate, he is mistaken. The use
Of such expressions is not argument,
and will only react against those who
employ them. II he has been oppressed
or il.treated, let him say how, when and
where; If be has not, he gains nothing
BY saying those who are against him are
liars and thieves. The fact is, that Sutro
has entered upon an undertaking from
which he expects to make large profits.
That enterprise, il successful, can only
be 90 at the expense of parties who
have given him no right TO believe that
they are ready to sacrifice themselves for
his (Sutro's) benefit. They object, and
right there commences the trouble.
Sutro wants to steal their property, and
they think they have right to do as
they please with their own. They say
90, and then of goes Sutro denouncing
everyone and everything who or that
stands in his way. He tries to hood
wink Congress, and with such pur-
chaseabls set of ecoundrels who dis
tinguished the Forty.third Congress, he
makes some headwsy. He, however.
soon strikes . rock. The people of this
State are looking out for their own inter.
ests, aud when, at the instigation Of
Sutro, the Negley amendment and the
Pratt bill 10 introduced, the ball is
opened and then Sutro gets exactly what
he deserves. viz: Being stigmatized as
mountebank and knave for trying to
legislate other peoples property into his
own pocket. These are rather hard
terms, and we should have never used
them il We had not heard Mr.. Sutro
charging the whole press Of the State as
80 many "hired liars" II there is any
lying done, We greatly fear that Mr..
6utro is deeply involved in the transac-
ton. However, We do not think he is Of
sufficient importance to make much fuss
about, but would advise him when he
starts in to steal another Comstock, to be
more guarded in his expressions, for
their very virulence exposes the malign
nature Of his design. ss
