Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-09-10
THAT MUCH-ABUsED TICKET.

\
The list of State Delegates selected by the
editor of the MORNING APPEAL to furtherance
his own small ambitions in the candidative
way seems to have incurred the disfavor of
our rather pungent contemporary OF the
| cleaning. 1t has been intimated that the
persons SO selected have been the subject of
a vain and foolish boast upon the part of this
writer that he had them in some one of his
various pockets-more particularly one OF
| the pockets of his waistcoat-and that they
were to be traded, etc, etc. Now let's see
if the gentlemen selected are of the character
of men usually carried about in the pockets
of politicians and "swapped" by them. Let
us look at their names as they will appear on
the printed ballots:
E. c. Gibson, merchant, and Chairman of
the Board of Town Trustees. Surely he is
not the sort of man FOX i pocket piece.
o. P Willis, retired apothecary and at
present ranchman. We wish we did own
0. P, assets and all; but we can not own
everything.
Henry r. Whitehill, State Mineralogist.
One of the best abused men in all this for
lorn world, and one of the best and truest of
friends. Whitehill comes nearer owning us
than we do him. And that is the very worst
thai any man can say against him.
George ellison, merchant. Here's another
man we should like to own. IL is with great
reluctance however, that we admit that we
do not own him, desirable such piece of
property would be, these hard times.
Charley Wilson, Meter, U. S. Mint; also
an old Broderck man also fireman of many
years experience; also one of the staunchest
and most fearless Republicans in the world.
We own a good deal more of Charley than
anybody who don't like him; and we hope we
always shall!
Alfred Helm, County Clerk. Has Alfred
ever done anything to indicate his want of
self-ownership! If so if he is not as indie
pendent and reputable citizen and thorough
a Republican as any man in Nevada we have
known him these twenty years and more in
vain.
Aaron D. Treadway, Farmer. "Let's
canvass the subject? In what part of mans
vest pocket might any man keep Uncle Urea d?
And this is the ticket-against which our
neighbor casts the weight of his opposition
and against which he charges all sorts of pre-
posterous things. We will not do these gen
tlemen the njustice to apologize for them. If
their standing in this community is not a
sufficient guaranty to the Republican voters Of
Carson Precinct that they will act in all things
for the best good of the Republican party; if |
they are not trustworthy and unpurchasable |
men above all suspicion of dishonorable in
tent and purpose, whittier shall we look for |
seven men that are! This scribe is a candidate
in sort of haphazard way for Lieutenant
Governor Is there nothing of value in a
recordl Are past performances nothing} If
it were in this writer's power to dictate to his
neighbors and his party what shall be done,
Is there not something i'll the past to show
hat there would be- at least an effort to serve
The party first and before any other consider
ationl Here are the names of seven reputable
Republicans. They are the kind ofmen whom
my man may be proud to reckon among his
friends If they are defeated-which they
most assuredly will not be-this aspiring
cribbler will willingly share their fate!
