Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-09-19

VIRGINIA, September 10, 1880.
EDITOR APPEAL: In my last gave tn
readers of your paper an idea Of change il
the Sharon programme in this county, but a
that time none of Us had a true idea of wha
lay behind that change. The fact is now sp
parent to few that Mr. Sharon in placing hi
interests in the hands of Mr.. Strother and re
firing to his heme in San Francisco, actse
wisely.
STROTHER UNDERRATEp.
No one gave Mr.. STROLLER credit for being
a shrewd political Manager, but he Is provins
himself to be beth able and sagacious HI
will probably save much of the contents OF
the sack, for he naturally holds money tightly
when once in his hands and he knows the
danger Of emptyiag the sack in such man
ner as to have its contents leave corrupting
traces behind.
Now, unless the Republicans of Storey
county very soon awake to the conditions i'll
which they are placed, they will be pswerless
to prevent a solid Endorsement of Sharon
ticket, net only Legislative, but local. The
game played by Mr.. Strother is both shrowd
and saving. 1t is as follows:
THE TRAP SET.
Candidates fer nomination for siice at the
Republican County Convention to be held
next Thursday, have been invited to meet and
select committee which is secretly to place
in the field at the primaries delegates pledged
to the Sharon ticket. One meeting of candi-
dates has been held, and another will be held
before Monday morning. Candidates are
pledged not to reveal the names of the mem
bers of this committee, and the members Of
the committee are also bound not to reveal
the name of delegate chosen by them until the
morning of the primaries, when tho tickets are
placed in the field. The delegates themselves
are also pledged net to reveal the fact that
they are delegates until that time. The can
didates are further pledged to abide the re-
suits of the convention.
THE SLATE ALL FIXED.
Now the fact is that the slate is already
made up and the names of every person to be
nominated by the Convention even down to
the town officers are on that slate. Enough
of these have been taken into the confidence |
of Mr.. Strother to insure the choosing of
already selected. If one or two
others are named no matter, the majority will |
rule and will put up the names only of the
Sharon delegates, and these will, in the Cen
vention, put on the ticket none but those
already on the slate. Thus men honest in in
ton and purpose and who think their show
good for nomination, will be led like sheep to
the slaughter.
OUR CORRESPONDENT ON THE INSIDE.
Now, the foregoing is no mere conjecture.
Your correspondent has been invited to join
he coalition and has been given the assurance
that by doing SO he would be nominated for
certain Office to which, however, he has no
aspirations But the strangest thing of all is
hat the people and many of the honest can
lidates for Office will not believe what have
old you about the making up of the Sharon
late. Some know it, yet deny it, others have
,een led to think that they are the ones to be
nominated and refuse to try to break the slate -.
Iany voters are apathetic and don't care to
ry to disarrange the programme, and still
theirs say it is useless to try to break the
sharon tolls
1t is possible that another ticket will be put c
n the field Monday, but it looks now as if the
ack scheme would succeed. Should it de 81
, remains to be seen whether, when the Con-
ention is over and the eyes of the blinded
re opened, there will be manliness and indie =
Evidence enough among the voters on the
omstock to repudiate the job, or, failing in
nat, to openly oppose the ticket in Novem-
er and make Mr.. Sharon defeat himself in !.
ne end by buying Democrats enough to s.
ect the ticket thus placed before the people. T
nee more l subscribe myself, s
ANTI-SHARoN REPUBLICAN,.
