Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1877-06-07
WILL THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF
CALIFORNIA DEFEND ITSELF!

A wall from the forgers cell where Plnney
lies, finding utterance through his organ, Is
heard as it attempts to brag itself into tone
of cheerfulness, as follows
1t is intimated that rs soon as Boss Carr
has played his full hand OF complaints, Pm
ney will give the necessary bail from source
not liable to be disqualified, and Will step out
to superintend the line of prosecutions against
the Boss and the Boss confederates, which
will be instituted at the proper time
1t is a mistake to suppose that the Chrom-
Gle has any stout animosties. 1t serves best
him who pays the best, 1t is now doing It's
share of a contract to destroy the Republican
chances of a succession to the Senate. 1t has
seemed to the MORNING APPEAL that the
Chronicle, from the start, has only been doing
what it took contract to do in behalf of the
Democracy. But there are not wantm. Re
publican papers who have failed to see these
matters in this light They have treated the
Chronicle and Sargent with the cool impair
TALLY of looker-on at a dog fight One day
there would be mild depreciation of the
course of the Chronicle. The next day Sen
ator Sargent course would be criticised BY
and by when the facts of the case are so plain
that everybody can see them, and after the
Chronicles columns have been reinforced by
all the weakness of Republican commentators
and all the malice of the Era of good policy
press, it will appear, as we have intimated,
that the Chronicle is simply carrying out
contract entered into with the Democracy Of
California to BLACKBOARD Sargent ont of the
possibility of a return to the Senate, The De
mocracy are always shrewd. In the first place
they know how easy it is to stir up the impla
cable envy and malice Of the . Liberals. In
the next place they know that by smashing
Sargent they destroying the strongest
Republican on the coast. He is one of the
very usefulest men in public life There is
no Senator in Congress works as hard as he.
There is none who is 50 useful a man for
large and important section. He is the man
to whom all parties from this coast go if they
want important legislation perfected, He is
poor, maladroit Gin fighting such diabolisms
est He is always at his post, always ready to
serve anyone from the Pacific who asks his
services at the Department or elsewhere, and
always clear headed and effective. And yet /
not only large part of the people and press
are willing to see him villifed out of public |
life and rewarded for his long and useful ca |
reer by a gratuitous garment Of infamy, but |
the Republican press and party, 50 far, seem
anything but eager to serve him or enter the
lists in his defense. If the Republican organi-
zation of California does not rise up in its
strength and vindicate Sargent, it deserves to
be destroyed ; for when it cannot do justice,
and when it has become SO demoralized and
as to suffer itself to be slaugh
tered, unresisting Gf not, indeed, kissing the
hand that snites it), it ought to be obliterated
from off the face of the earth, The only de
cent issue now left in California for that party
o deal with is the sustentatiou Of Senator
5argent's good name.
