very cold, and being very tired he

and as his condition was very serious

He claimed to have had S. on his

A FEW WORDS TO THE GOV.
EeyOg.

Yesterday Governor Stevenson
sent notification 10 this office tc
stop sending the APPEAL.
This is the first instance to our
knowledge that Republican Gov
erner in Nevada ever considered
himself called upon to stop taking
the MORNING APPEAL.
During the campaign OF 1886,
the APPEAL was foremost in making
q fight for the election OF Stevenson
and every day for ninety days it re-
2elled the attacks made against
him and smote the opponents OF
Stevenson hip and thigh. During
this period the Governor meyer
thought of stopping his paper.
After his election however the
APPEAL never considered that it
iad any further interest in him.
The editor OF the APPEAL was a
candidate himself before the same
convention that nominated Steven
son and was pledged to give his I'm.
qualified support to all the NOM
inees.
We kept that pledge in a way
that elected c.. c. Stevenson as
Governor OF Nevada and that no one
ever accuse us OF not doing our
whole duty in the matter, we will
state that letter written by Gov
ernor Stevenson to party in San
Francisco was wanted by the Demo-
Gratis.
The publication OF that letter
would have resulted in the defeat
of Stevenson by much larger ma
iority than the one by which he
was elected.
The editor of the APPEAL secured
that letter and kept it from parties
who we're anxious to secure and
publish it. With the election OF
Stevenson, we considered our share
in the duties OF the campaign
at an end.
Partisan newspapers like the AP-
PEAL consider it their duty to give
each man on the ticket hearty sup
port during the campaign but the
proposition OF falling down and
worshipping them during their ad-
ministration is quite different
matter.

FALSE PRE-. Soon.
There seems 20 be a general in

There seems 20 be general i'm
preston that District Attorney
White Of San Joaquin county and
MS legal assistant have Withdrawn
unconditionaly from the prosecution
of Nagle.
This is an error growing out of
the fact that Attorney General John
son mistook t,se tenor OF White
letter to him. The lawyers Tor
the prosecution only decline to act
in any proceedings where testimony
is taken relative to the killing.
They are willing at al times to
argue all the jurisd!ctional issues,
but nothing beyond that.
The APPEAL is OF the opinion that
it would be better all round 10
have the case 90 to trial as soon as
possible at Stockton, the county
seat OF San Joaquin where the Kill
ing WAS done. A good deal has
been said on both sides and ire
sponsible newspapers have made
hundreds OF statements both ways
that cannot be proven.
The people are supposed to sus-
pend Judgment until the facts come
out and the feeling prevails every
where that the U. S. Court not
only has no jurisdiction, but that an
acquittal in that court would vindi-
cate no one.
The public want the facts and
are willing 10 leave the virdict to a
San Joaquin jury.
