Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-05-20

REFORM.

The APPEAL has of late Illustrated the or
igin, style, logic, motives and malignity of
such 80 Reform" as the people of Ormsby
County have been treated to for several years.
The dose has, we hope, been sufficient both
in quantity and quality to naussate healthy
stomachs; such as have acquired taste for
the imported article, are very willingly allowed
BY us to enjoy its peculiar flavor. We have
seen the drift of the argument as applied to
political affairs both in Nevada and California
We have been brought to see that this kind
of doctrine is full of malignity toward the Re-
publican party under the pretense and guise
of extraordinary purity in point of morals
It discloses hatred to the negro because of
his black skin and condemns the Republican
party for giving the elective franchise to black
men. From its hypocritical purity this i'm
ported Reform goes into the depths of syco-
phancy, and crawls in the mire for the prlYl-
lege of contributing its shallow adulatlon to
such wealthy patrons as will allow it to feed
from the crumbs and bones that are contemp-
tuouslv tossed to it. With the aid of dema-
gogues, malcontents and confessed Democrats,
who have in every instance of any prominence
been year after year honored by the Republi-
can party to the extent of I'M Justice to honest
and loyal men; it has thought itself able to
assume successfully purity of morals and
probity of character and motive that could
not be impeached or questioned. Forming All
alliance with the Democratic party in Ornnsby
County it was able to win an election in the
name of Reform, only to betray its support
ers at the first opportunity. The scope and
elasticity of its principles have been 50 extern
siye that we have the remarkable spectacle III
which railroad company or two are promi-
nent in the use OF money, influence and power
for the propa CATION of this new tangled Re-
form. 1t seems plain enough now shat these
long time Reformers have howled during
these years for the purpose of directing atten
ton from themselves and their secret leagues
with corporations-as Was we'll attested by the
ante election surrender of the Legislative
lights and innocents who sounded Reform
through the county the standard bearers
of the new gospel of political honesty. II is
well that the position of these men is under
stood, and that they have found their real
places as politicians. The Republican party
has now opportunity to act for itself and to
advocate Repubhcanism for It's own sake. 1t
has no longer any occasion to modify its own
aims and doctrines for the pleasing of the
class of leading Reformers to whom we have
alluded Their continued support of any and
every ticket and movement which is definitely
in opposition to the Republican party is re-
spectfully requested. 1t is better for the Re-
publican party to be in the minority and S tay
there, than to be responsible for the class of
men who boiled up to the surface in the Re-
form kettle last Fall. If we do not mistake
the temper of the party, it will hereafter NOM
mate and elect officers, both State and County,
who are in accord with and of service to Re-
publicanism. If Nevada is unqualifedly Re-
publican, let US know it, for once, and ifsnot,
let us have straight out Democratic Bradley
ism and done with it. The APPEAL has no
to make with Dolly Vardenism
