Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1893-01-08
AN AsT0NISHED COMMUNITY.


Board Of School Trustees had de-
ciled Is accept Prof. Howes resis-
nation, hr I'd engaged him for an
other tom. ,leir ;stonishment was
unboullya Piled on the top of
this vas the intelligence that none of
the young ladies in the Public
Schools had been removed. 1t sim
ply staggered the public.
During the campaign, the ring
manipulators of Ormsby resorted to
their old tactics Of defeating opposi-
ton by that petty device of pot. house
politicians, spreading lies about the
streets to hoodwink voters and Dc
feat the honest will of the people.
They caused to be circulated the
report that the Silver Party were
bent on displacing Prof Howe and
discharging all the lady school teach
ers. Their ideas of political man
agement in campaign never rises
above petty trickery, conferences in
in the back rooms of cheap gin mills
or midnight meetings in the cur
tanned Offices f spoilsmen and bos-
ses, who plq id prey while honest
people sleep.
Their pin headed work deceived
nobody and hundreds of leading citi-
zens who were good friends of Prof.
Howe, voted the Silver ticket. At
ter the election the cranks of Carson
headed by their recognized organ.
the Tribune, kept the teachers of the
schools in constant state of appre-
hension with the fear that their
means of livelihood wera to be cut off
after Jan. 1st.
L was cruel and shameless piece
of work and founded on the suppose
ton that the officers elected by the
Silver Party were merely in Office to
adopt the same narrow tactics which
had so long disgrac d Ormsby and
which they had pledged the public
they would overthrow.
The citiz- believed the pledges
of the Silver Party platform and The
old ring are wild with the apprehen-
sion that the pledges viii be kept.
They are incapable of conceiving
that any politics can be founded on
am basis other than partisanship,
favoritism, boodleism and revenge.
One of the aims of the campaign
was to take politics out Of the pub
lie schools, and it VII be done so |
effectively that no lady connected |
with the schools will ever be obliged |
to cringe to School Trustee or ask |
a political boss permission to retain
her place.
She can trade where she pleases,
board where she pleases and pro-
claim her sympathies for any politi-
cal party under the sun at all times,
and seasons, with no feeling that she
is endangering her place in conse-
quence.
Prof. Howe was made the inno-
cent victim of these campaign ca
nards and did what any self respect
ing gentlemen would have done un-
der the circumstances, handed in his
resignation to spare himself the hu-
initiation of request to resign.
The Board unanimously assured
him of their confidence in his char
acter and ability, refused the resig !
nation made in good faith and en-
gagged him another year.
The APPEAL congratulates the
citizens of Carson that the services of
Prof. Howe, rendered to them by
twenty years of honorable and sue
cessful labor for the schools, is
still to be retained, as well as those of
his corps of able and hard working
assistants, who have raised the effic-
iency in our schools to a standard
second to none on the Coast.
Tho APPEAL is also authorized to
to state that Janitor Dobbs, all
though he voted the Republican
ticket, will continue to hold his old
place.
The Silver Party of Ormsby went
into the campaign to give the citi-
zens of the county relief from ring
not to rage warfare on
young ladies and cripples.
The coming session Of the Iegis-
lature should formulate a compre-
hensive and equitable water law. 1t
