Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-08-24
A MISREPRESENrEO PARTY.

ntnrial campaign in Nevada, the Carson Ap-
PEAL SANS: "We do not agree with the Stick.
ton Herald that the APPEAL is the leading Re
publlc,, paper of Neva a." Overpowsred at
the modesIy If the APPEAL We take it all
back, secretly entertaining the conviction that
the test .f r -puhlcanism in Nevada has been
found tn be devotion TO the 'raiiroad inter
rs's and tn the sack" Applying these tests,
the APPEAL is a long way from being in the
lead .--.
The test of Republcanism in Nevada is not
devotion to railroads or the worshiping Of the
sack. 1t is solely through The misrepresenta-
lions of the Territorial Enterprise that such \
false idea has gone abroad. In days gone by
the Enterp,ise was recognized one of the
Lending papers Of the Petite Coast: In point
Of ability, dignity and influence it was sec
"nd only to the old Sacramento Union. Il
stood by the North in the darkest hours of
civil war, and its loyalty to the canse of
staunch Repnbicsnsm made it a power every
where west of the Rocks Mountains Il
finally passed from the hands of the men VIII"
had enriched the literature of the coast with
their pens and ct the same time given the
Republican party a leader worthy the follow
ing 1t became the property of William
Sharon, a m an whose sole claim to greatness
consisted in his having made lncky ventures
in Cnnstock stock and whose 81 inns to party
recognition were based upon The fact that he
had stood by the Cnmstock when the sun OF
its prosperity seemed about to set. The AP-
PEAL does not seek to take from Sharon any
# the houors which acrne from his past
lah"rs in Nevada IS patron of the mining
industry. His energy, pluck and nersever-
nee left a stamp upon the ledge which viii
always remain there. st the same time he
rsked nothing for the people which he did
not in the end believe wonla add to the
wealth and prosperity of Sharon. Coupled
with the operations which have made him rich
and famous was a well remembered current of
cunning and ubscrnpalonsness which does
him no credit az an operator. In return
for his services for the pe"ple-which at the
same time added materially to his immense
wealth-he demanded the highest political
honors which the State conld give. Unable
to win these honors fairly upon his merits as
a man, he deliberately corrupted the Lagisla-
sure of Nevada to win his hauhe. He cheat
ed the voters of the State by hrihIng their
and then led the miserable
creatures whom he had corrupted into a trap
the Ophir deal-whieh left them bankrupt.
Admitting, for the sake of argument, that
Sharon's past services as patron OF the min
ing industry were deserving of reward, has
not this obligation If any ever exsted--heen
cancelled by allowing him to hold the office of
Senator for six years without his ever having
rendered the slightest services for it ! No
paper to-day advocates his claims from any
sense of his fitness, bnt simply for coin or the
hope of it. The Enterprise is personally
owned by Sharon and through this mouth
piece he attempts to drive from the Repuhli
can party any newspaper which will not lick
the dust from his boots. The APPEAL shall
not permit any resident of California to sit In
his Pine street Office and set the test of Ne.
vada Repu5lcanism nor shall we permit Ne.
vada Repnblicanism to be hbelea, misrepre.
sented and caricatured by a newspaper which
has long since ceased to be recognized by the
honest Republicans of the State. LIE, the
party wash its hands forever of this puckered
nouthpiece of California arrogance and Pine
street gold We believe that the Rspublica |
party is a harmonious unit in this State, its |
organization is unbrosen, it prestige all |
powerful. II can seat a United States SEN
stor by the force OF an honest ballot and |
needs 10 sack from Sharon or any other man |
to plant the standard of its victories where it |
will, and any paper who insists to the con-
.rary, seeks to parade to the enemy weakness |
and ruttenness where he knows there is SQUAD |
ness and vigor. So long as the APPEAL is
published it will continue TO strip the mask |
rom traitors within the camp
~&ND-- l.
THE rumor that the Sazerac Lying club at
AUSTIN are about to remove their President |
or negligence of duty is no: based on fact
His labors on the Enterprise for the past few
weeks fully entities him to retain his seat.
