Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-07-15

The resolutions were agreed to by four OF
the Committee, and disagreed to by the other
four. Plxley adhered to them throughout
during the two prolonged sessions OF the
Committee, and was one of the three who au-
thOrlzed me to report to the Convention that
they agreed with me- After all this, and
after his somewhat heated declaration that
no delegate would oppose my resolutions who
was not Oh the payroll ofthe railroad company,
he came to San Francisco and six days after
ward, on the 24th of June, having meanwhile
visited Governor Stanford at Menlo Park, he
made loud and excited speech against them
The inference is irresistible that he was bought
and paid for by the railroad company. He Is
convicted out of his own mouth, But this
will not embarrass him. He will regard it as
good advertisement, gratis-that he Is for
sale. He is one of the class designated by
Junius as g infamous and contented." | do
not intend to let him off with this. He has
endured many kicks. 1t is said that he can
not be made ashamed. This | believe. Those
who are without character are without shame
But | will put brand on him tonight that
time shall not etface | will not content my
self with the recital of his disgrace at Wash
ington, where Senate Committee found him
guilty OF dishonesty, nor will deal in general
statements, such as that he is a notorious
BLACKBOARD, liar, coward and mercenary :;
because, while all of these are true, they have
been so long and often applied to him that
they have ceased to convey even energy of
expression. Ordinarily | would let him pass
entirely. If now he had assaulted me on his
own account and III revenge for his past dis
comtiture, | would not occupy time for than a
passing Jest concerning him. 1t is not in his
character, either of buffoon or malignant

the Central Pacific Railroad Company, sent
by them to snap at my heels. The State shall
know the character of this insolent hound,
who for bone stands upon his hind legs and
barks at me throug h page and half Of his
Arq0adW His publications were reeking with
falsehood and malice, but shall not discuss
them with him so far as they relate to rail
road matters. [ deal with principals If any
Director of the railroad company wishes to
discuss with me any of my private affairs, |
shall be ready. But with Plxley, | will only
discuss Pixley | can interest him on that
theme There will be no merriment l will

let him mark my words if he is not, let some
railroad messenger carry him the message.
Frank NJ PlXley is an uncOnvicted felon.
Upon his brazen forehead | write the word
" PerJurOr = For being now at large instead
of at San Quentin, he is indebted to witnesses
whom [ can name, whether he can or not.
[ leave him to 60 about your streets stunned
and avoided, with the black crime of willful |
and corrupt perjury hanging heavily upon his |
soul. | tell him that behind him stalks the |

guilt on the walls of the city, and | will care

now dismiss the disgraceful subject When
next the Central Pacific Directors select a
literary bully to assault me, let them select
nan who can throw stones with more safety
o himself. If any Director of the railroad
will say that | ever received a benefit

alnmny would deserve. Nor will my expires
ions draw any mildness from the fact that in
ommOn with every other official at Washing

verland roads. In 1876, when Mr. Hunting

round that | was opposing the views of the
