Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-08-22

The ways Of the capricjou7 magazinist are
again illustrated by the following story:
A Boston gentleman Of some literary pre-
tensions recently told an acquaintance IN this
city the following story, Illustrative Of the al
legged discrimination Of magazine editors in ia
vor of contributors of note, and vice versa:
He was discoursing some months since, he
said, to the poet Lowell on this topic, and in
sisted that contributions to magazines were
not published for their merit, but only when
they were from friends of the editor or were
the production Of famous pens. Lowell on
the contrary maintained that magazine, like
newspaper editors, were no respectors Of per
sons, and that they we're entirely impartial in
their choice Of contributions. To prove his
case he wrote q short poem, on which, it is to
be presumed, under the circumstances, he be
slowed more than usual pains. which his
friend sent to prominent Boston magazine
as his own. It was returned as unworthy Of
publication.

The Election for senator.

There is pervading the air, as an ozone, the
notion that the election Of a United States
Senator by the coming General Assembly il TO
be strife of corruption. The ability OF eligi-
BILE men to come down with money to buy
their election is freely canvassed by Demo
Gratis, as If this were natural Democratic
method. And this recognizes with equal
liberality that the Democratic member of the
General Assembly hes his price, and that this
is his opportunity to turn his trust 10 profit.
If we take the view which seems to pervade
the Democratic atmosphere, We must think
that the election of Senator 10 to be q stew of
personal trading, direct bribery, and every
form of indirect corruption, and that, even in
the exceptionally good members, it will not
rise above the methods Of personal solicitation
and pledges, and the influence of personal
favor.
We have commented very freely, during all
the Republican reign in this State, on the cor
rupting methods of elections of Senators,
therefore We are not now seeing for the first
time the evils of this mode of electing. We
have seen all the members who supported q
Senator fall into national offices; but this was
matter between them, and may have been
only remarkable line Of coincidence; but we
have not before seen time when the men,
bers of the party which is to elect appeared
generally to recognize that the election was
to be matter OF purchase, and general me-
lee Of bribery, personal solicitation, and every
kind of indirect purchase. We conjure these
honorable Democrats-for they are all honor
able men-to think what they are doing, and
to reflect whether the odor they are creating,
which is to be 30 degrading to the fame Of
our great st ,te, will be healthy for their par
ty. The great body OF the Ohio people are
