Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1881-07-02

were thrown into state OF unusual ex
citement. First the people felt dam
pened, then they felt mad, and ther
concluded to get together and tall
business.
The excitement was all about the ar
ticle in the Enterprise to the effect thai
none of the Virginia people or military
companies would come down on the 4th
ofJuly. The aspects of the question
were very freely discussed and people
seemed to take the Enterprise report as
final and official. The row seemed to
have begun, because the Carson com
mittee had not been able to raise sutfic-
ent funds to pay the expenses of the
artillery. 1t requires three ears to trans
port them, and twenty-six horses are
needed to drag the guns, as all the
horses in the city had been eng ,ge' +,
1t would be almost impossible to secure
the kind wanted at any price.
In the first excitement men launched
considerable lively invectives at the VIr-
City people as they called to mind the
fact that last year the Carson people
had gone to the Comstock and spent the
day thereto say nothing of the money
besides paying their own fare and
feeding themselves. The Comstockers
fed about fifty men who composed the
Carson Guard aud that was all. Carson
is now proposing to transfer four hum
dred soldiers or more free of charge
and feed them while here, besides hav-
ing arranged with the railroad COM
pany that the round trip will cost but
81 for civilians. SOmeof the Com t )ck-
ers growl at the dollar, but the Virginia
Committee wanted fale charged to
keep out the riff-raff.
A COMMITTEE MEETING.
At O'Clock the Executive Commit
tee met and finally decided to do nothing
until they heard from the Virginia
who are the only parties |
to transact any business. |
Those present felt that the Virginia |
was composed Of men who |
would not stultify themselves and after
the matter was more fully discussed,
the conclusion was arrived at that few
saloon keepers had gotten together,
all hn RI
to give vent to it. Some
parties had suggested to the Governor
to call out the troops officially, which
would compel the military companies to
come down. This he decided most
positively not to do, as he desired to
.reate no hard feeling. The committee
llso froWned upon the idea and the
whole drift of the talk WAS to the effect
hat no matter what might happen the
Carson people would do nothing but
he square and courteous thing. If any
lard feeling arose it would not be the
ault of anybody in this section.
OIL ON THE WATER.
Finally the committee authorized its
Secretary, Mr.. Chesley, to send dis
,atch to J, c. Currir, Chairman Of the
Virginia committee, asking if the
Iction of those who proposed to call an
celebration meeting w 81
by the committee. The
blowing reply was received:
The Committee do MOI endorse the
ction as reported. Citizens can do as
hey please. j. e.. CURRIE
TIL 3 dispatch gave the assurance
hat the auti-Carson excitement existed ,
more on paper than anywhere else and
he committee concluded to go right
head with their arrangements and
AVE a celebration in Carson even if
It the last hour 40 Comstockers came
Town at all.
THE COMsrOCK MILITARY. L
If the following from the Chronicle
5 true the military can hardly be
ounted on to come down. 1t says:
Many of our people who do not care
@ 60 out of town on the Fourth have {
decided to celebrate here. Although
he notice is short it is believed that II
,ery creditable procession will be had.
All of the military companies have sig {
,ified their readiness to parade; the
