Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-01-26

The Virginia City, New, Enter
prise tells Senator Stewart that ir
aiding to confirm Lamar he was moi
in accord with the Republican sen
timent in that State.-Philadelphis
Press.
Ard what the Enterprise says is
true. There is not a Republican
here who does not condemn the
Senator for his whole course in the
matter.-Enterprise.
The Enterprise is in error. Sew
eral Republican papers in this State
have endorsed Stewards policy in
the Lamar matter, and the best in
formed politicians in the State, after
making themselves thoroughly ac-
quainted with the facts in the case,
also indorse Stewards course.
Stewart realized by the defeat OF
1884 that the bloody. shirt in poll
tics was an element of danger to the
Republican party. There was a
time when it was a splendid battle
nag. That time has passed. The
party cannot continue to fight on so
old and tattered an issue. The
rank and file are weariej of the
rustic of chestnut leaves. Stewart
has cut the bloody shirt out of
National politics, and the Protection
issue comes grandly to the front.
The South no longer wants its poll
tics protected, but its growing man.
ufactures. As long as you wavethe
battle flags of the civil war before
their eyes. they will cling to the
past; its old issues, its old feuds, it's
old votes and its old majorities.
This Fall the South will be fight
ing for new issue Protection to
Southern manufactures, and Ameri-
cans to rule America, and they
will have to vote the Republican
ticket to do it.
The attitude of some of Stewards
critics reminds us of an incident of
the Republican State Convention
held some years ago in Carson.
Beatty, Taylor and Sabin were after
the nomination of Supreme Judge.
They balloted two days, and there
was . dead lock. Varian was man
aging Beatty's fight.
After q noon recess they took |
seven ballots, and on the eight |
Varian rose and cast six votes for |
Taylor thai had been going for |
Beatty. A howl OF disgust went up |
from Beatty's friends, and a man
whose vote had been cast that way
rose to protest. Varian grabbed
him by the collar, remarkine in a
whisper:
sits all right; sit down you
d. fool"
Word went round that Varian
had sold out. After the vote was
counted it was found that Taylor
lacked only one to win. There was
a dead silence in the hall, and
the TAYLOR men were jub;lant.
Another vote and Taylor still lacked
one. The roll was called again,
and Sabln's men went for Beatty in
a body, and Varian pulled his six
loose votes back into camp and won
the fight for Beatty.
Then it got through the slow wits
of the crowd that Varian knew what
he was about. Varian had a spy
in the Sabin-Taylor caucus. 1t was
agreed that if there was dead lock
on the eighth ballot Taylor's
strength should go to Sabin and
elect him. Varian threw six votes
to the Taylor crowd, giving them
the victory all but one vote. The
Taylor men on the ballot broke
faith with Sabin and did not 60 to
him as agreed. This made the
Sabln men wild, and they wrecked
revenge by going in body for
Beatty. Varian had merely set a
trap. and both sides fell in.
Stewart is setting a trap tor the
South, and he has baited it with
his vote for Lamar. When the
rap closes, the lunatics who are
making an outcry against Stewart
will be the first to shout: awe
xoo~, II all the while.D
