Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-10-21
SNOBBERY.

The difference between the reception by
General Mcdowell of General Grant at San
Francisco, and that by Senator Sharon, marks
the difference between gentleman and snob.
General Mcdowell refused the application of
journalistic reporters, as such, on the ground
that his reception was private affair, and not
intended for newspaper establishment, while
the detailed reports of the Sharon banquet,
which was not less grand display of snob-
berry than of piggery, must have cost the great
millionaire many hundreds of dollars to oc-
cupy the columns of the San Francis co jour
nails. 1t was like prize show of babies or
poodles, where the prominent points of each
were trotted out for the delectation of the
public; where diamonds and satins, queenly
grace, angelic forms II ouries in velvets and
silks-were trotted out by these paid Jen
knses, for the inspection of the public. Gods
what baseless fabric The shattered vase,
the fractured mirror, the faded hower-death
with his scyths and broken hour glass, would
probably have represented the derobe beauties
of the occasion. And poor Sharon, his
thusands spent, his halls deserated, and him
self alone, like another Marines weeping over
the ruins of Carthage how much prestige OF
glory is the result of all : Does it make
Sharon, or his mansion smell less of Goldfish.
The Cal of Sunday has the following,
which is probably near the truth. The de
velopments of the last session at Washing
ington, have done more toward the CANVASS in
Ohio and Iowa than all the stump speeches
put together, and there is no use in trying to
place defeat upon the bad faith of Thurman.
1t was simply manifest de stiny, the result of
Senatorial controversy in Congress in which
the cloven foot appeared too plainly. This is
the Calls article: ave heard from time to
time during the late canvass that Senator
Thurman AMI Representative Ewing, were
not on good terms. 1t was represented that
Ewing wanted Thurman to retire, and that
Thurman would like to see Ewing set back
few years, even if his defeat in the present
canvass was the only means by which his
ambition could be checked. The reports of
these rivalries came mostly through RepubH
can sources The Republicans seemed to
know more about the family quarrel of the
Democrats than the Democrats themselves.
Now that the election is over we hear through
the same source that Ewing charges Thurman
with bad faith in the late canvass-with
trading votes for Ewing for Governor for
votes for Thurman for Senator No proof is
given of the truth of these charges. The
legislative ticket is buried under the SAM
avalanche of Republican votes which over
whelmed the Democratic State ticket. Thur
man is beaten as badly as Ewing. 1t was
clear from the first that the two had to
stand or fall together. The Democrats had
no surplus strength to waste in quarrels. If
the Democrats had carried the Legislature,
nothing could have hindered the election of
Thurman as Senator. A State whose Senator
has arisen to the leadership of the party he
represents, would hardly retire that Senator
while his party remained in the ascendency
The cause of Ewing defeat will be found in
the renewal in Congress of sectional questions
The Democrats had everything to lose by a
renewal of this agitation, and they have lost
it. One of their most trustrd and influential
men goes out of sight in consequence. 1t is
hardly worth the while, since circumstances
compel his retirement, to pursue him with
charges of treachery to the candidate of his
party whose course was substantially his own"
