Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1878-11-04
OUR COUNTY TICKET.

any other man has as good right to
that office as he? The regret expert
enced in denying to Dave Lentz the
hearty support of Republicans for that
position is but proof that greed for office
has been the downfall of many Rich
ellen, and that where really good
man falls prey to his own lll-advised
ambition, his friends suffer with him.
Our hearty wish is that Lentz were able
in his later years to have learned the
real lesson that his soldierly experience
ought years ago to have taught him.
His is the bitter lesson that is aptly
illustrated by Satan's fall from Paradise.
His is the sorrow when he realizes the
fact that measureless devotion to his
country, and numberless acts of herOism
on the field of duty, are serviceable
only in pointing out the strength of
selfishneSs that could have been the
only motive to his seeming merit. 1t
is easy to be sanity servant of the
arch enemy of mankind or else LentZ
would not be so available an instru-
mentality of the Secesh proclivities
that abound in Governor Bradley'S
Office. Vote for Fred Turner, who pre-
tends to no leverage upon his fellow
citizens by reason of military service.
Vote for the man who is tried and
faithful servant of the people, and who
TO be true to his country and the Re-
publican party. Vote for Fred Turner,
the BEST MAN.
Mere mention Of the many good
qualities of Beamis PiNley, the young
candidate for Assessor on the Republic
can ticket, would of itself be an act of
such severity toward Horace II. Bence,
that it would seem like taking undue
journalistic advantage of him. We are
willing that Bence shall have such a
fair show as silence on our part can
afford him, provided our silence be not
dor5ement of his official history. We
leave the facts to be pondered over by
those who have opportunity to be ac-
quainted with them, and call upon
honest voters to stand by PiXley. His
acquaintance with the duties of his
office are as intimate and by far more
fresh than can be said of Mr.. Bence.
Pixley is a Republican whether he
happens to be candidate for office or
not. His honesty is as perfect when
he is in Office as it is unquestioned in
private life. Bence concluded long ago
that the Republican party had done
with him, and very naturally he is on
hand every two years for nomination
on the "best man. lay out. The people
will get done with him this time, and
the business will be effectually settled.
Vote for Beam Pixley, who is the best
man
The freemen of Ormsby are also con-
jured to vote for the best man for Dis |
trict Attorney. Jes 50. That same in
dividual will be found to Coffin the |
hopes of all those diseased Republicans
who have 50 long struggled in the
slough Of political dependency. Sad
enough, surely, but the inevitable can
not fail.
Trenmor Coffin is a good, careful Off
Ger an honest man, and able in the flu
ture, as he has in the past, to acceptibly
perform all the duties devolving upon
him As the prosecuting officer of this
county. He has, moreover, a mOnstrous
good, handy manner about him of caus-
ing the people to consider him a great
ieal better man for the position than
lis opponent, observation-disclosures I'M {
fortunately for the " best man" theory, )
Mr.. Coffin is a mighty straight, thor !
Rupublican-and that's the {
way he dries the back of his adversary t
preparatory to sending him into the |
vet, chilly November Of his discomfort. {
