Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-12-07
LYING AND LIARS.

One day last week we asked the Enterprise
if Mr. Eckley, the lat one time) prospective
State Printer, had ever offered MIR. Harlow
the foremanship Of the State Printing office.
To this the editor of the Enterprise answers
in the elegant and forcible language of White
Pine county
"The question is lie.
Now, according to our way of thinking, q
question can never be lie. When q man is
asked question and retorts as the Enterprise
has, it is self evident that the person interro
gated finds it handler to be boorish than
truthful.
The Enterprise continues:
Every word of the statement made
in the above is \ lie, and the man whe penned
it is o liar. The editor Of the Enterprise did
net engage rooms in Carson nor offer to deal
cut patronage connected with tho State
Printing Office. The matter was, and is, of
no concern to the Enterprise or its editor.
This paper advocated the appointment Of =
competent man to the position of Superinten-
dent Of Printing, not caring whether it was
Eckley or any other printer who was given
the place. The State Printing Commission
gave the position to man VIGOROUSLY incom-
practical printer has been appointed AS fore
man.
The editor of the Enterprise is quito cor
rect in stating, with such flourish ef en-.
phasis, that he did not engage rooms in Car.
son. He did not, simply because when he
went to look at the rooms he was advised to
wait until the appointment had been made
far
meaning Mr.. Eckley. Will the Enterprise
editor deny that he called upon Mr.. Robinson
and had q similar conversation to the one we
have described? When Messrs Hallock and
Crockett were in San Francisco they were in
formed by a member of the firm of Painter
4 Co. that man working fer them named
Gardner had been offered the position of
pressman.
"By whom Z" was asked.
IA man in the Enterprise office" was the
reply.
When the Enterprise states that Mr.. Har.
lew has been engaged for two years, I'VE simply
refer it to the contract between Mr. Harlow
and Mr.. Maddrill. This contract is before
Ms, and it distinctly states that Mr. Harlows
services shall only be required during the
time that actual work is to be done. Mr..
Harlow demanded contract for two years,
which was declined. He was unwilling to
leave good place on the Chronicle for three
months job, but Mr.. Mccarthy informed
him that if he wished to take it he could |
have his position as foreman of the Chronicle |
job Office when he had finished his work in |
Carson. Mr.. Harlow has accepted on these !
terms.
There is another paragraph which is ma
liciossly libelous:
The Carson APPEAL might not be 50 strong
. champion of tho apprentice to the Superin.
tendency Of State Printing did it know that
that gentleman has asserted that now 10 has
the place he means to make the most of it,
and does not intend t. do any work.
No one will believe this assertion, and we
defy the Enterprise to name the man to whom
Maddrill made it. We are tired of arguing
with man who is constantly making the
most absurd assertions without producing .
word of correborative testimony. If Mr..
Maddrill had been disposed he could have
made considerable msney out Of the purchase
Of type. Mr.. Hallock said yesterday mora.
ing to the editor Of the APrRAL: "Mr.
Maddrill net emily talks economically but hs
shows his faith by his works. He bought
several Thousand dollars worth Of type At IS
per cont discount. He might have made IN
with the type founders to have
put that discount int his own pocket and No
would never have bssn the wiser; instead,
the money was saved to the State and was
over one thousand dollars. We have the
fullest confidence in his ability and henssty"
