Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-08-18

IGNORED HIS CONSTITUENTS Speaking Of
the nomination Of Judge Beatty, the Esmer.
aida Herald says: mo credit will attach to
portion Of E>neralda's delegation in the Sc
lection of this candidate. The people OF this
county were almost unanimous for Beatty,
aud had the usual course been pursued in the
selection of delegates to the Convention, the
Judge would have had a solid vote from here,
instead of one ont of five. Judge Beatty
has well and faithfully performed his duties
"n the Supreme Bench, and his term would
have expired. had he not received the nomin-
alton, January nex.-six years. But the peo-
pc recognize him as the right man for the
right place, and on the p Of November next
will elect him for another term."
II is rather q curious circumstance that Mr..
D'rmer, who came to the Convention from
Es'neralda; Is delegate, with three proxies
in his pocket, should be voting in direct op-
He admitted when he reached thiscity that Es-
meralda was almost unit for Beatty, but
that he felt constrained to vote for Taylor on
the score Of long standing personal friend
ship. He gave the Beatty men the assurance
however, that when, he could no longer vote
for Taylor. he would cast the votes Of Esner-
aida for Beatty. This he utterly failed to do;
changing from Taylor to Sabin. We should
like to hear from some resident of Esmeralda
county who can explain how it happened that
a delegate was at Carson representing them,
VIII" voted continually against the will of his
constituents? The practice of ignoring the
will Of constituents is becoming a confirmed
habit of Nevada politicians, and each repre-
sentative who commits such an act should be
called upon to render an account for it.

orators, puts it: E....

few of them. Torches, uniforms, badges, all
that kind of thing are now super huous. The
average voter don't care for speech. The

some myself, but have learned better. We
must have something new before We can do
any, hing but repeat ourselves.
Yet in the campaign it is considered neces
s,ry to fill the country with stump speakers
who rule do not change the complexion
of dozen votes. The hearers are entertained
but convinced Of nothing to which they had
not fully made up their minds long before,
disabused Of nothing which they ever believed.
The speakers who take the stump are paid for
their services at the rate of 81 900 for the
tour and upwards, while newspapers which
are issued every day and reach ten times a.
many people and discuss an infinitely greater
variety Of subjects make clear gain of less
than $500 in the campaign which comes in
the shape Of printing and job work, half Of
which is never paid for.
WHAT'S IN NAAsf-The APPEAL calls

Democratic tendencies, or only education?

the intensely partisan press took it up, and

The only way Nevada can save herself from
another dose of Sharon, and from the robber-

Democratic Legislature. Virginia Chronicle
This is the way Democratic organs are max

yves it to the Republican party to withdraw
