Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-09-26
PERSONAL MATTERS.

Samuel Wright. In reply we published y
from Mr.. Wright stating that
he held no mortgage on this office, never had
held ono and never expected to. Our bnsi
ness standing was attacked and it became
necessary to make plain defense against the
charge. We showed that there was no mort
gage held on this Office by any one. and chal |
lenged any man to shew claim against the
APPEAL worth less than 100 cents on the dol
lar Having disposed of the charge, it next
became our duty to expose the character OF
the man who made it. We showed him to be
a person who had been for years recognized
in Carson as devoid of any of the instincts Of
a gentleman; a little vulgar, brainless snob,
too ignorant of his real position in life to be
anxious to better it, a man with dull-wit-
ted ambition to blackguard his betters rather
than be guided BY them. and with whom
than an Grafton from Daniel Webster deliv-
cred to q mule. In order to show our points
more clearly, we charged that Yerington and
Bliss held the office security for bond ex-
ecuted in the United States Circuit Court.
and that for nearly year the Tribune Office
had not paid the Odd Fellows Society for
rent. All of which is pronounced false.
simple denial of q charge made against the
Tribune has no more weight than balloon
floating in the upper atmosphere. If our
charges were untrue, how easy would it have
been to have published a card from the par
ties alluded to, denying that such state OF
affairs existed. 1t is not too late now to pub
lsh card signed by the Society of Odd Eel
lows, stating that the rent has been regularly
paid for the past twelve months. Surely If
such rent had been paid the Office must hold
the receipts, which would be IS crushing a
refutation of our charge as Mr.. Wrights was
to the Tibune's. 1t is not considered good
journalism to inquire into the business status
of ones neighbors, but having been invited
by the Tribune to make an issue of the ques-
ton, we have come to the front with our &C.
customed promptitude, while our evening
contemporary has gone to the rear
with his ela-time alacrity. Most
people under the circumstances would have
learned wisdom by experience. The Tribune
man appears to reap no sense from his con-
tinual failures. We bear no malice against
this young man and regret, probably as much
as he does, that he ever drifted into a profess
sion for which he is 80 totally untitled. Our
deepest regrets, however, are IN behalf of the
profession. Regarding personal explanation,
it is hard for us to understand why the exist
ance of the Tribune mans relatives should de-
bar him from seeking personal explanation,
or personal satisfaction if the explanation was
refused, unless, perhaps, he has taken advice
from wiser heads than his own. Whenever
the Tribune man gets sufficiently sick Of car
rying on a controversy Of his own seeking, to
take it cut of the newspapers and finish it
elsewhere, he can receive unlimited accom-
mediation in this quarter. Our Office hours
are from IL A. N. to 4 P. M. and in the even
ing from to IL. We hope we will be called
upon for personal explanation. We would
like the opportunity of expressing ourselves
in style not generally adopted in print We
feel at times that the laborous operation of writ
ing and printing the little cad's biography is
toe slow for US. We have never written a
line about him except in reply to some purely
personal attack, and if we use bricks instead
ofmud tits because we like that style of weapon
best We are trying with reasonable degree
of diligence to edit the Carson APPEAL and
mind our own business, but if the Tribune is
anxious to devote the coming week to dis.
cussions, personal or otherwise, we can simp-
ly remark that We are just in the humor for
those sort of rows. .--.-
