was las. seen Sept 23d about two miles be-
yond Emigrant Springs, on the Kelton road
driving his team of six mules and four horses,
accompanied by q man named Mcdonald well

team into O'Connor's place-salmon FAlls-
and stated that he had bought the team. Nc

The Phoebe Record has the following: "A
dead man has been paying poll tax for several
years in Lincoln county. 1t appears that 8
gentleman owning property in Phoebe died in
San Francisco several years ago, and ever
since his death the honest % agent in Phoebe,
when taxes become due on the property
would write to parties in San Francisco OF
the amount, including a poll tax. As our
Assessor did not issue any poll tax in the dead
mans name, it is natural to suppose that 1t
vss issued in the name of the agent, who
made the dead mans estate pay his own (the
agent) poll tax. There is nothing like having
an honest agent.

n opp.se Sharon. The APPEAL is perfectly
willing to give the G1sette the credit OF taking
the initiative in the matter, but begs leave to
call Brother Fslton's attention to the fact
that its opposition was not OF sufficiently
pronounced character as to bring down the
abuse of the Sharon organs upon 1t or cause
the Enterprise to read it out Of the party, as
i did the APPEAL As the campaign pro-
crossed, however, the Gazettes opposition to
the fraudulent Senator was managed with o
force and ability which was highly creditaole
to that newspaper and material assistance
in Kidding the country of the great political
humbug and pull back.

THE OFFICIAL ORGAN.

The APPEAL omitted co state that the Re
nnblican State Central Committee allowed
That paper $50 more for advertising than the
Times simply because the Committee owed
large balance TO the APPEAL for work done III
q previous campaign. Times
The committee owed the APPEAL no balance
for the last or any other campaign. Inc COM
mit.ee finding it did not have enough money
to DAY bills in full finally determined to rate
tho newspapers OF each county according to
their circulation and influence. Under TINS
method the bills allowed were: Tribune,
800; Times, $500; APPEAL, $3.50. ho" the
committee arrived at the conclusion that the
APPEAL had larger circulation than the
other Carson papers, We have no means OF
knowing, as We have never found it necessary
10 brag Of it, Regarding the methods EN-
ployed in nscertaining the papers influence
We are equally in the dark. Perhaps the fact
that the APPEAL began early in the campaign
70 make consistent fight for the national
ticket and carried the county ticket through,
despite the fact that some OF its nominees
were opposed By so-called Republican papers,
had something to do with the rating The
Tribune did not hoist the names of the ma
tional nominees during the entire campaign,
and the Times made an Intellectual effort to
beat the regular Republican nominees as soor
a. the Convention adjourned. These wan
derings from the straight path we're all taken
into account when the influence Of the paper.
was discussed. A newspaper which refuses
to place the names Of the regular nominee'
at tho head of it's columns, is looked upon
suspiconsly, and the one thai " bucks" the
county ticket and then Aopa into line carries
bus little weight after it has taken its first
ill.advised stand. A vacillating course
always weakens o newspapers influence. L

sis.ert course for number OF years past tina

THE MANGLED PLANK.

The following letter was received at this
Office yesterday: Il
VIRGINIA CITY, September 18th.
EDITOR ArrEAL: l see in one Of your re
cent issues that plank in the platform OF the
Republican State Convention was mapg'ed IN
the interests of the railroad company. If this
is so l am somewhat astonished to learn II
and would respectfully suggest that your IN
formant may have told you something when
he only had by hearsay. 1 do not believe
that subsarvience to the corporations ha'
done the Republican party any good nor d"
believe thai the interests OF the party are
furrhered by such charge as made III the
APPEAL, unless you have incontrover' able
proof that the plank was changed. The
plank as published seemed to me to be good |
one, and if it WAS manged, l am as anxious
to ascertain the bottom facts as anybody. MI.
! Tiden, of this city, had the platform IN HI"
possession and saw it on the day OF the Con-
ven,ioa. locked over it, and if recollsct

facts. A MEMBER OF THE CONVENTION.
| The member is wrong in surprising that
Mr.. Tilden has the original platform Il Is just
now in the possession Of the editor OF The
APPEAL, and lies before us at the prescott
writing. The plank opened as follows: I'm
the name OF the people Of Nevada, We prot
| against the continuance OF the outrageous
railroad dscripinaions and charges for con
s,ructive railroad carriages which tor NOR
than ten years have paralyzed the energies
and crippled the industries of the State
This was all crossed ont. and what renamed
NJ the plank read as fellows: THE Repabll
can party claims it to be the right anu duty
} Of State and Territorial Legislatures to regu-
late and restrict the charges OF railroads ex-
clusively within their respective Boundaries,
and that it is no less the constitutional right
than the positive duty Of Congress to regulate
the tariffs and restrio: the charges OF inter
State railroads." After this followed an
other clause which was stricken out, "And
we most earnestly approve and demand the
enactmen. into law Of what is known as the
/ Regain Bill"
i Thus both ends Of the plank were sawed of
and the "business end discarded entirely.
MIR. Dsggett, an earnest supporter OF the
the Regan Bill, WAS nominated on this plat

On the subject of the tariff, he is usually

On civil service reform, he will depend
mostly on Chester A. Arthurs honesty in Of
fee.
On the subject of the Credit Mohilier, he
advocates no change in the Republican
party.
On the De Golyer claim, he has nothing
to say just now, because anything he might
say would only make matters worse for the
Republican party.
On the subject of James A. Garfield he
is for James A. first and last and all the
