Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1875-09-28
THE PRESIDENT OF THE syn
DICATE.

When San Francisco becomes as big
as Paris and railway travel i'll these parts
comes to be subjected to like rates OF
speed to those which are observed on the
Eastern lines, real estate in Carson and
other permanent interior cities will be
found to take or certain value By reason
of being, in point of time between the two
places, contiguous to San Francisco. 1t
will be considered worth something to
be domiciled within easy access of the
Pacific metropolis, and building lots will
be valued accordingly.
We of Nevada have three places where
the business of looking after our larger
public interests is done. These places
are Carson, the State capital. Washing
ton. the national capital. and San Fran
cisco. our commercial capital. Ast6the
representation at these respective CAPT
tails, that of the domestic affairs of the
State is constant charge weighing upon
this question must be met and disposed
of. The average of representation thus
obtained has been good and benefcent.
Our representation at Washington has
been far better than that enjoyed by the
majority OF the States. Our present
representative force, our two Senators
and Congressman. constitute an eminent
and able triumvirate. One of those rep
resentatives is acting in double capaci-
ty, being elected to look after our affairs
in Washington, and self-chosen to rep
resent US at our business capital, The city
of San Francisco.
There is good deal for Nevada to be
proud of in the position occupied by
Senator Sharon. The sheer was band
led round, when he was elected, that
Nevada had gone to San Francisco for
her Senator and that he was nothing
better than mere animated money
purse-a combination, in short, OF car
pet and money Dagger. flew weeks ago |
there came upon this business commu-
nifty the most tremendous crash that it |
ever experienced. The Bank of Califor-
mia, the representative gold bank of the
world, suddenly failed. The shock was
SO tremendous as to depopulate, for
time, that busy thoroughfare of specula-
ton and mining capital, California street.
Instinctively the business community of
Nevada felt as if their hands were tied.
There was no panic but the feeling was
D deeper one than that which makes
panics. Here was an event which might
result in wholesale disaster, if the public
mind had not been kept quiet and hope
ful by assurances of safety from quarters
where the greatest power and response
sibility were known to exist. Here was
IN emergency when one man who was
known to have giants strength was
looked to to use it like giant. That man
vas William Sharon. When Ralston
lied Sharon stood beside his bier and
said, with the strong emotions OF a
strong man upon him, that he would
stand by the memory and reputation of
MS friend and that the Bank should re-
;ume. Then people who thought they
lated him confessed their admiration of
lis constancy, strength and courage.
There is no more sneering as at carpet
'agger no more slurring of the Senator
s mere money getter. The feeling is
road and warm and grateful that our
stest elected Senator is fit man to send
o Washington to represent the energy,
he courage and the solvency of the Pa ]
ific Coast. Here in these brown and
hills is the material wealth
y and with which specie resumption F.,
Till be made if ever it is accomplished.
md our last chosen representative, en-
odying in himself the incentive and 4
ctuality of resumption, himself the c
hief worker in the grand and daring I
fort which has done for the Bank of =
'alifornia what was never done for any t
ank in America before, will go to Wash Y
,gton there to be recognized with pride I;
y every citizen of the Pacific Coast and
18th admiration by the intelligent people
I the Atlantic States. v
