The g Appeal

The APPEAL appears this
morning as a twenty-four eel
umn paper. Four columns have
been added to make room for
the advertising. This is not an
enlargement, as might appear at
first blush, but a change III the
measure of the columns. The
APPEAL as it appears to-day is
not running a single dead ad-
vertisement and is publishing
twice or three times the reading
matter furnished by any other
paper in Ormsby county. 1t is
the only Carson paper publish
ing Geographic dispatches and
stock reports. The proprietor
of the APPEAL has started out to
give this city as good a paper as
the people are willing to pay
for. The increased patronage
generously extended to thsa
journal at the present time WAY
rants III in making increased
effort and expenditure.

A Large but Cneuthusiastic
Audience

There was Il good gathering
at the Opera House last night,
being the occasion of the DEM
ocratic meeting. Many came
expecting to hear Geo. 3. Hill,
but were disappointed. Col.
Ellis addressed the meeting in
a sensible conservative speech
which was we'll received by the
Democrats present, but from the
number OF persons applauding
It was easy to see that the per-
sons in accord with the speaker
were not in the majority. So
excellent discourse really de-
served a better recognition, but
the straight Democrats 10 not
like the Fusion movement and
will not be drilled in that line.
Mr.. Ellis spoke at such length
that Mr.. Hill did not address
the audience. but will, it is UNI
derstood, speak on Friday night.
Some of Mr.. HIPS friends al
lege that he was closed out by
the ColoneI's long speech, but
others state that he will not
speak until he has the evening
entirely to himself. The clos
ing speech was made by Mr..
Ernst, of Belmont. The meet
ing adjourned between 10 and
ii O'Clock.

Yesterday morning about l
O'Clock Mr.. Rrule heard an alter
cation in front of his hetel, and
on going out found two men
fighting in the street. He sep
arated the comhatants, but not
until Joe Daoust, a Frenchman,
had beer twice stabbed, The
wounds took effect in his abdo-
men and thigh, His assai!ant
was an Italian, whose name IS
unknewn. After being taken
off his man by Brute he escaped.

Who are the Men who Pay the
Taxes

Although Il mans value to a
community is not always to be
gagged by the amount OF taxes
he pays, it is still an indication
worth considering. The follow
ing. taken from the assessment
roll, vii! show to the voters of
Ormsby county just how much
each candidate pays toward run
ming the county government.
The Fusionists are clamoring
for a reform in county expendi-
lures and demanding lower tax
alton. 1t would naturally seem
that the men paying the most
taxes should have the NEST to
say about such a matter.
Compiled from the assessment
rolls of 1882:

! in the Duty Istttcr, q number OF
Soldiers and Sailors who had
served in the late war assent led
on Sunday ';,St to take steps to
defeat c. c. Powning for Con-
grass. This organization num-
bers eighty members in this
city, and out of this number the
following persons responded :
G. n. Harris, II. Junkins, Harry
Mccormack, ID. II. Lentz, H.
F. Bartine, Elias Breed, James
Hamilton, a. D. Treadway, G.
II. Maish, NJ. E. Glover and
Geo. b. Hill.
\. D. Tread way was elected
| Chairman.
II. F. Bartine stated in a short
speech that the object of the
meeting Was to take action on
the attitude Of {. {. POWning,
Republican nominee for Con-
gress, on the bill introduced in
the last Legislature relative to
allowing the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic to
use convict labor in getting
water conveyed to their &c M
ctery.
d. Fl. Lentz moved that a
committee be appointed to
draw up memorial against
Powning and send il in the
form of. a circular to the eX-
soldiers living in Nevada.
The Chair here made few
remarks to the effect that very
few OF the organization were |
present, and such action would !
be hasty. He wanted to see all |
the mem5ers-at least a major |
ity present-if anything OF that |
kind was to be done. He hoped |
that the meeting would adjourn
until a fuller expression Of the
views of the organization could
be attained.
Bartine, Hill, Harris and
Lentz opposed any adjournment,
and their views prevailing the
Chair appointed c. n. Harris,
II. r. Bartine and d. II. Lentz
as the committee.
Mr.. Harris stated that while
he was heartily in accord with
the movement he had certain
reasons for not caring to serve
on the committee. He fully ex-
planned that he had JOURNALISTIC
reasons" for not serving, and
was excused, and Treadway
induced to take his place.
Elias Breed, c. H. Maish and
NJ. E. Glover voted against the
proceedings, but were overruled
by the other seven:
The committee having been
the meeting ad-
jOurned.
Rufus Shoemaker takes seri-
Gus view of the comet and
argues that it will really bring
the world to an end ia a few
months. Yet right on the heels ;
Of this he accepts an advertise
ment from Geo: p. RoWell & {
&c. which he contracts to ruin
year and accepts pay in advance.
A man who would play an East
ern advertising firm in this viii G
ainous manner had better be
getting his ascension robes to the
nearest laundry and have the |
spots taken out.
