Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-09-26

GIVE U. A GENTLEMANLY
OEDATE.
The APPEAL has never yet been
able to debate with the Enterprise
without the public witnessing loss
Of temper upon the part of the lat
ter journal. The question now
under discussion rather calls for
the serious consideration OF all
parties engaged in it rather than
virulence of utterance and peevish-
ness Of temper. During this dis
cussion We have attributed no i'm
proper motive to the logical and
talented gentleman who edits the
Enterprise, but have simply mar
shaled the facts in the case, and
PLACID them in such juxtapo-
sition as enabled the veriest novice
in politics to sec that our position
~ Republican newspaper, stand
ing squarely upon its own platform,
was unassailable. A position. no
matter how impregnable, can a.
ways be aseailed b. ahnse and
inuendoe, but it never succeeds in
dislodgine the occupant Of the po-
sition and only demonstrates to the
spectators that the assallant has
exhausted his facts and lost his
command Of logic.
While discussing the Constitu-
tional question the Enterprise
calls the APPEAL bantam" and
the Times-Reriew a "microbe. F"
To take any notice of these remarks,
which do not reflect dignity to the
journal making use of them. or add
force to its arguments, would sim
ply he shifting the argument from
the question Of Constitutional
Convention to the somewhat petty
proposition as to whether the Times
Review is "microbe" or the AP-
PEAL a bantam" questions we APP
prehend, which would not be re-
garded by the people of the State
with any serious concern. The
Enterprise seems to have been
driven to the wall by the produc
ton of the Constitutional plank Of
the Republican platform, followed
by a two-thirds vote of endorsement
By . Republican Legislature,
or it would not haze

t. the Senatorial fight,as is evinced
In the following:
The Kepub. lean p ,rty Of Nevada
has no meaner eneny among the
Democratic journals of this State
than the Carson APPEAL, which
protesting to be Republican, sci

editorial comment, an article from.
all obscure San Francisco we"kl'
in regard to Nevada politics. In it
Senator Jones and Mr.. Wren are
CHARGED with the vilest kind OF
treachery to their party. 1t it un-
necessary to ado that not the
slightest proof is offered to sustain
the charges against either of these
gentlemen. The hand that penned
them in San Francisco is the hand
of a common defamer, and nobody
believes q defamer. Yet the
APPEAL repubiishes this fellow $
slash and seriously suggests that 1t
demands proper consideration
from the voters Of Nevada"
The APPEAL republished the ar
ticle alluded to to point out to the
Republican party a possible dan
ger. 1t did it in the interests Of
the party, and the Enterprise is the
first to fad any fault with Us In our
course.
Senator Jones Is openly charged
with arranging to trade off the
electoral vote Of Nevada for
United States Scnatorship, and the
talk is in eyerybody's mouth. So
long as this talk is c,mmon talk it
materially Injuries the party success
in November We call upon
the State Central Committee
to investigate ibis matter, granting
all who have any light to throw
upon the subject, fair hearing,
aud set the matter at rest.
IF guilty, let Jones and his fol-
loving be stamped out Of Nevada
politics by all who consider fealty
to the party above any personal
consideration. If innocent, the
proof of innocence will add 20
per cent. to his strength before
