Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1889-02-03
THE FACTS IN THE CASE.


prise to a good many people, but is
bv no means a surprise 20 the writ
err. 1t charges that the LOUISIANA
Lottery sack is now in Nevada,
stravinp by every means to de-
feat a proposition to establish
State Lottery. The editor oil the
APPEAL has known Of the existance
Of this sack for two years and Will,
when the time comes, show 10 the
nublic. inst where the coin OF the
Louisiana Lottery Company has
been advantageously placed. we
have facts in our possession winch
show exectly how the coin OF the
Louisiana Lottery Company has
been used to manufacture wave
OF PecksnifIian morality intended to
defeat the Lottery Bill. The AP-
PEAL is an open AMI above board
Lottery organ and has advocated
in lottery IN Nevada for the past
seven years and we do not clam
TO be any more honest or moral
than the balance of our neighbors.
We will state, however, and can
substantiate our statement, that on
two occasions, an agent OF the
Louisiana Lottery Company called
upon US from San Francisco, and
proposed to paw the APPEAL, Il i
would fight the proposed lottery
scheme. On the last interview we
told the agent that we considered
the establishment OF q lottery
matter OF self protection to Nevada,
and that no paper processing to
fight for State interests could take
such a course. BY PROCESSING 70
favor mis- scheme, previously We OBJ
tanned information from him, which
if published, would make a number
OF high moral people in this State
sick at the stomach and would a'so
cause a number OF people, ("ho are
admlring the higher morality dis
played by certain parties in tue IN
terests OF sprinciple" so calied) to
also throw up their breakfast. We
believe it is time 20 call halt on
this uprising OF sham morality PAID
for by the Louisiana Lottery coin.
Is anv one foolish enough to
imagine that the pamphlets and
tickets that are being distributed
and the agents at work through the
State, bowling against the Lottery,
are doing it all at their own e1-
pense and because they fear that
some awfu!ly wicked thing is about
to be perpetrated? Did any one ever
see any of these people spending
money to close up hogging faro
games, or stud poker dead falls
The tact that the Louisiana COM
pany is exerting itself to prevent a
Nevada Lottery is the most conclu'
siye proof that they regard this
State rich plum in their business
The agent in his conversation
with us said, "Nevada contributes
more per capita to Louisiana than
any State in the Union"
TIE passage of the Nevada Lot
tery Bill, means large financial
loss to the Louisiana company, por
ton OF the money which now goes
to the Rebel Brigadiers will remain
IN Nevada and the people North o
the Mason & Dixon line who patron
iza lotteries will send their none!
tn the North instead OF the South.
While the agent was discussing
the proposition OF fighting the Stat
Lottery and laboring under tn
impression that the APPEAL Woui'
be a co-laborer on TIE harvest, W
suggested that he secure an agen
IN the State Capitol building, h
smiled and said, "That's all beer
attended to.
We do not wish to be understood
here that every person opposing tn
Lottery scheme is not doing it from
conscientious motives, but we knew
positively that some OF them woui'
open their eyes, if they but knew
that parties in whose high mora
leads they are following
