Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1888-05-26

idential boom has been undoubtedly
tn political even OF the week in
this city, from where it seems really
to have started. Judge Gresham is
extremely popular personally in
Washington, and many people here
would rejoice to see him President,
yoi correspondent among the num-
her. But candor compels me to say
that ii the Judges boom is not more
heavily backed elsewhere than it is
here, he stands little show OF re-
ceiving the nomination at Chicago.
Unfortunately f. tie Judge, his
great personal popularity has been
taken advantage OF by few anti
Blaine Republicans in order TO make
adeternined attempt to stem the
clrren: OF Republican opinion in or
der TO prevent the nomination Of
Mr.. Blaine; already these boomers
are making mistake of antagoniz-
ing Mr.. Blaine, although that gen.
tle,nan has stepped aside for the
purpose OF allowing the party to
make It's selection OF standard
bearer unhampered. This is decid
edly wrong. No good Republican
can afford to Join in any movement
looking in the slightest manner to-
wards the debasement OF the name
Of James G. Blaine, no matter who
it is TO help, or vino is to be nomin-
ated. Mr.. Blame has devoted the
best years of his life to the service
of the Republican party; has been
an acknowledged leader for years,
and will continue as such, whether
he be nominated this year or not.
The Republican party can and will
win this Presldenatial fight, III it is
true to itself. But let the friends Of
every candidate for the Presidency
remember that only one man can be
nominated, and further that he cam
not hope to be elected unless sup
ported by the eEtire Republican
party. Antagonizms are dangerous
where the margin is as small as 1t
is Just row.
Representative Farquhar, OF New
York, made a good point in his
speech against the Mills tariff bill
in the House on Wednesday, by
commenting somewhat severely on
the fact that the great commercial
and financial questions were SUBJ
mitted to the ways and means COM
mi,iee. the composition OF which is
rs follows: One cotton planter,
one railroad manager, and eleven
lawyers. The whole industries of the
country entrusted to the wisdom,
not of the capitalists, nor Of the ban
kers, not of the manufacturers notof
the wage earners, but of eleven
lawyers one cotton planter and one
railroad manager. Ii there ever
was a farce in representative gov
eminent, the Fii;ieth Congress had
reached it. When the great indus
trial interests were to be taken care
OF and regulated, was it just was
i. fair, was it in the proprierty OF
common sense, that eleven lawyers,
one cotton planter and one railroad
manager should legislate for the
American industrial people?
The tariff fever has ex tended to
the Senate. The Senate comm If
tee ON finance has gotten permits
sion from the Senate to employ q
stenographer, and has appointed
. subcommittee consisting OF Sena-
tors Allison, Aldrich, HiscocG,
Beck, and Harris. IT, consider tariff
and revenue subjects. is under
stood that it is the purpose OF this
subcommittee to grant hearings
to all parties interested, just what
Mr.. Mills and his Democratic asso-
ciates on the Ways and Means Com
mittec of the House refused to do.
Tho Senate has, by an over
whelming majority. decided against
considering the fisheries treaty in
open session.
Toe House committee on pen
sions has reported favorably q bill
