Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1886-10-09
/. resErO. IN THE CAMP.

No newspaper eoltor III Iu's
State has received more OF the CON-
pliments and honors of the Repub-
iican party than c. {. Powning OF
the Reno Journal. He has been
elected twice to the State Senate,
given the lucrative Office of U. S.
Surveyor General and nominated
for Congress on the Republican
ticket. 1t addition to this he has
been allowed to contol nearly all
the patronage of the State Prison.
State University and Luratic Asy-
Jun.
The APPEAL has always been OF
the opinion that Mr.. Powning has
received more from the party than
he has been fairly entitled to, as
his services far the party have not
been great and his zeal in working
for it was always the most pro-
nounce6 where his own personal IN
terest s we're involved.
Recently his ticket in Washoe
was defeated aad since that time
he has retired into his tent to sulk.
Contrast this course with that
pursued by the Reno Gazette. Its
proprietor Mr.. Fulton has never re-
ceiyed any party honors or emoln-
ments, yet his paper has always
made a telling fight for the ticket
and always been n the thick OF
the fray during campaign.
Il has done more for the party
than the Reno Journa! and asked
nothing In return. Yet when Mr.
Powning fails to get what he wants
IN politics he refuses to work any
longer for the party and preserves
course q, once unmanly aud un-ke-
publican to the last degree.
Since the nominations at the
State Convention he has had as lit
tie as possible to say regarding the
ticket, aId every little fling at the
party that he can End floating
through the columns Of Democratic
or Mu2wump papers he copies and
gives prominence In his paper. Mr.
powning's Republicanism seems to
be the kind that ceases the mo-
rent he cannot have hi. own way.
He is everlastingly clanoring for
party pap and like spoiled child
howls for everything in sight and
Il Is not immediately placed i'll
his hands, fills the State with noise
and keep Up his cries until he is
paciaed. Now this policy of paci-
tying the kickers ard squealers by
giving them everything they call
for, is played out in the Republican
party.
We submit that Mr.. Fowning
has already been given all the hon
ors ard emoluments that he is
reasonably entitled too, and for that
matter good dea. more. His po-
li;ical nav is Unsuitable. He wants
the State on silver platter and if
he don't get it proposes to smash
things generally.
He fastened his ambition on Con-
gressional honors and was given
the nomination. He had square
show before the people of this
State and was heavily showed un-
der. Then he came to the front
and demanded the United States
Seuatcrship, and on what grounds
DO you suppose? Ga the grounds
that he had been been beaten for
Congress-! He seemed to labor I'M
der the impression that when a
majority of the people voted for
Cassidy they said to themselves:
This Mr.. Pownins is too able a
man to send to Congress. 1t we
send him to Congress he will be
lost there, and prevented from
reaching the Senate, where be
properly belongs. Therefore We
will save him fer something better,
etc.
This is the way Powning regards
his defeat. He has boasted too
much Of carrying his county in his
vest pocket, when, as a matter Of
fact he never won a trick in Washoe
when a fight was made against him
His ceurss has been such during
the last few months that he is
looked upon as a confederate of
Fair, who is supposed to keep him
IN Office. He is now doing more
uorL for Fair than anvbody in Ne
