Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-04-21
MORE REGARDING THE TRIBUNE.


article We are particularly explicit III the
matter from the fact that the editor of the
1rtbute in his squealiug rejonder of last
evening seems more than anxious to shift the
fight from our shoulders to that of The lady
who is the sole owner and proprietor of this
paper. he present editor of the APPEAL is
hired upon "a salary by the proprietor, and
his business is to write the editorials and local
news which appear in tn paper from day to
day. In addition to this he proposes to make
it his business to defend the honored name
and memory of his editorial predecessor,
Henry r. Miehels, from the cowardly asper
sisns which II living embodiment OF lying,
chicanery and hypocrisy seeks TO heap upon
it. To expose the pre,entions of as arrant a
humbug and rs hollow fraud ever dis
araced aud deceived The State of Nevada, is
in all respects a con9eniit task to us His
attempt to explain away the article from the
Santa Cruz Sertjn Il only the more thoroughly
convinces everybody who knows the habl and
eharac, eristics of Parkinson, of its cold ruth.
Nothing is said of the bill a. Chrstlls drug
store, the editor probably reserving his
explanation until alter he has passed through
the heat of The approaching campaign.
The description in the Tiibane of how its
editor rustica,ed in Santa Cruz and parts
n jacent, Senator j. p. Jones, ex Sheriff
Swift, Sam benson, T. B. Rail, Tom Edwards,
Hub Parker ''and 300In the steerage" can best
a p eciate. 1t is So much meaner than any
thing VIII ch lies III our power 80 write of the
man that we simply leave 10 as it stands. Had
MIR. Parkinson been possessed of any of the
wit which goes out when old age comes in" he
would have simply taken his +ruel OF yester
day morning in silence and not called for a
fresh bowl of the thoroughly unpaiatable mix
ture. The second enstallment lies in he nose
pulling episode in which Senator John P.
Jones played the leading role. 1t was some
years ago, before Jones was L. 5. Senator
from Nevada, when the present editor of cur
evening contemporary being Strengthened
financially (exactIy under what circumstances
we propose to show 1T our leisure) went to
John p. Jones with tears streaming down his
cheeks and begged for $1,000 The loan was
advanced, aud not long aferward Jones ran
for the L. S. Senate. r. r. Parkinson was
then corresponding for Reno paper and
wrote few squibs aluding to Jones as The
right man for the place" ''the people,
choice" etc and after his election he went
TO Jones and boldly demanded 81 900 for his
services. This cheeky demand for coin some
what astonished Jones, as well it might Re-
covering his breath, however, he remarked
II should think Mr.. Parkinson that you
had better settle the back claim of sixteen
hundred dollars.
1t was now the editors turn to look aston
ished, and he replied;
eff yoou Il wasn't a d-d-amn -
-, you wouldn't b-b-bring up such a |
claim"
Here Senator Jones drew back his brawny |
right arm to knock the front teeth of his in
suffer down his throat, but seeing his grey
hairs, upon which he always depends for pro-
lection, he simply contented himself with
taking the Parkinsonian nose between his in
dex finger and the ore ad iacent and twisting
the organ until the branching of the bones
could be heard by the bystanders for some
distance away. This affair Gall of which will
be denied in to-day's Tr.bune,) took place in
front of Fosters drug store and was witnessed
by about dozen persons. Since then he has
systematically slobbered over Jones through
his paper.
He says he was driven into sickness by the
aamnable plots of Federal oficeholders. His
sickness was all assumed for the purpose of
getting sympathy, which he did not deserve.
His real sickness came when the conscientious
verdict of sworn jury brought him to
realizing seass of the fact that he was not
above the law which he had trampled upon
for years Ii the sentence of Judge Hillyer,
as the Court acknowledged, by the
sight of the condemned mans gray hairs, was
a sekner, what would have been the result if
he had received his just deserts Parkinson
need not seek to shift this fight upon woman
We propose to conduct it ourselves, and it is
idle IN the Tribune to caution us against libel,
or to threaten Us with the dire results which
nay fellow the exposures we propose to make.
We do not fear the vindictiveness of the
senior editor or the badly handled pistol of
the junior proprietor. We are personally re-
spong BILE for what we say, in the courts of
