Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-08-09

Will the Carson APPEAL please
explain what it means by the
"Canavan and Adams wings Of the
Democratic party?" 1t is our weak
ness, when We see . conundrum
published, that we cannot rest easy
until the solution is given.-Times-
Review.
Assuming that the editor Of the
Times Review is seeking for light
on this interesting subject-an as
sumption by the way, which will
not hold wate-we hasten to give
the Times-Rsview the solution.
The Democrats of Nevada have
for some time been divided, and
following two leaders: Matt Cana
van and Jewett Adams.
The Adams wing believe that the
Democratic party of Nevada has
but one sacred mission to fulfill on
earth and that is to keep Mr..
Adams in Office as a perpetual pen
sioner upon the public revenue.
His qualifications for the Offices he
aspires to fill are not taken into
consideration in the least, and any
play in politics from instructing a
Central Committee to pack a del
egation1in Nye county, without Civ
ing the Nye county Democrats a
chance to express their wishes in
the primaries, to institute a land
slide in Esmeralda county, in the
interest Of Mr.. Adams Senatorial
ambitions, is considered perfectly
square. The Adams wing of the
party conine their operations ex-
clusively to State and county poll
tics, and the slogan of their cam
paign is to sacrifice everything on
the ticket for Adams, from the
County Constable up wherever
swap is advantageous. This is why
Adams always gets elected, while
his associates on the ticket are left
in the .rear. They put up the
money for the campaign and most
of it goes to pull Mr.. Adams
through. This is considered good
politics, and in the whole we are
not ready to combat the PROPOSE
ton. There was time when we
were disposed to think lightly Of
the mental qualifications of the
Governor, but now We are Of the
opinion that a man who can hood
wink half of the party year after
year, and take all the chestnuts
out IF the fire while the workers
blow on their singed paws,possesses
a high grade of brains.
The Canavan wing of the party
on the other hand believe in agood
square deal, and when they get
beaten at the primaries or at con-
vention they get out and shout
themselves blind for the ticket.
They look forward to the influence
that the State and county fight
may have in National politics, and
with the acumen of intelligent pol
iticians are ever ready to sacrifice
the less for the greater, and are for
the party first, last and always.
They do not consider that any one
man owns the party, and they
swear by Canavan because they
know that his word is as good as
his bond, and while as full of f.
nesse and political robbery as any
body he never goes back on his
word, and his fighting is done on
the square. When he wins he
doesn't ask for all of the spoils for
his individual use.
Thus We have briefly enumerated
the difference between the Adams
and Canavan wings of the Bour-
bons of Nevada. We are of the
opinion that no intelligent man
will gainsay a single statement
made in this article. The South
ern chivs. and the gentlemen by |
Gawd, sir, element also train with
the Adamites and are fast getting |
to be a controlling element with |
the Adams wing.
As rule the APPEAL does not !
bother itself answering questions
Of this kind, but when SO promi-
nent a Democrat as Major Dennis
gropes in political darkness, we
would be hard-hearted indeed if
we did not furnish him with the
desiled light Of information asked
for.
