Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-09-26

the Crawford plan, and the editor
OF the APPEAL ran in said primary
as candidate for the Legislature.
When the votes were counted, he
had received but about % PEI. cent.
OF all tie votes cast.
The APPEAL had for weeks advo-
Gated a Crawford primary as the
best method on which to form an
estimate OF a candidates strength,
and the result does not change orr
opinion Of the fairness OF this plan.
The result did not particularly as
tonish the writer, as he went into
the fight knowing thoroughly well
that the party bosses ard the rail-
Dad influence was not for him.
For many years past, in fact
since its foundation, the APPEAL
has been the accredited organ OF
the Republican party in Ormsby
county. 1t is the only paper in
this county that never supported a
Mugwump ticket. For many years
past, the paper in the discharge OF
It's duty to the Republican party,
has been engaged in fighting for the
Republican ticket. 1t has never
made any halfway fights, but stood
where it received the brunt of the
enemies fire, while the candidates
for party offices and emoluments
couched behind it and enjoyed the
shelter thus afforded.
On Saturday last not q single
State or county officer whom the
APPEAL had supported IN times
gone by made an effort in its be-
half. The two exceptions to this
are worth noting.
The writer fought Charley Bick-
nell In two State Conventions as
thoroughly as he knew how, but
Bicknell stood pat with US on Satur-
day.
The writer went to the Winnie
mucca Convention to work against
Judge Leonard and defeat him for
the Supreme Judgship. He was
not nominated, but on Saturday
last he voted tor the writer and
asked others to do so. He said
that he voted as he did on the
broad ground that the editor OF the
APPEAL was earnest in his fight for
irrigation and State development.
Bicknell dismissed the memory of
past wrangles on the same grounds.
The APPEAL publicly thanks these
these two gentlemen for their mag
naninity.
A number of other people, for
whom the APPEAL had fought over
and over again and made enemies
by so doing, told us that they would
have to be "neutral" in the fight,
as they did not wish to have any
trouble with anybody. On Satur-
day we were able to round up sle
"neutral' people, and know where
they live.
1t is frequently asserted and gem
orally believed, that newspapers
make large amount of money in
campaigns, and that the payment
OF this money cancels all party OBJ
legations. The books of the APPEAL
show that the Republican State
Central Committees and the County
Central Committees OF this county
owe the APPEAL in the aggregate
over So, 900 for work ordered by
the different Committees and per-
formed by this paper. We are fur
Their able to state tlat nearly every
paper in the State is similarly stu
ated. But the APPEAL has been IN
the ring long enough to kzow how
to stand punishment. and We have
no growl coming. 1t will be at its
old post Of duty between now and
election, advocating the cause Of
the Republican party, and it will
continue to battle for the interests
OF Ormsby county and the city Of
Carson, where its interests lie.
When it comes to occupying any
neutral ground in politics or any
thing else, the public is informed
