Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1894-08-25
CORRECTING SOME MISTAKES

so long as 1T dropped the shekels IN
to the extended palm of the APPEAL.
Now that the money comes from an
other party, the former friend is ma
ligned at every turn. The County com
missioners were upright. and honest
until they awarded the contract for
the county printing to the News;
then they were scoundrels CT the
deepest dye according to the AP.
PEAL,) When Mr.. Summerfeld was
District Attorney the APPEAL ham,
mered away early and late upon the
Chinese lottery games in this city;
now it is as silent as the tomb upon
the subject, although the lottery
games are running in full blast, with
number of new games of chance
added to the category. Its virtuous
streak disappeared when the county
printing again entered its doors.
1t will be necessary to reply to
these statements one at time.
The Republican party never drop
ped its sheckles into the APPEALS
palms to any considerable extent.
There is now on the books of the
APPEAL accounts against the various
Republican State and County Cen
trail Committees amounting to over
$4,000, which We will cheerfully sell
to any one who wants them for one
cent on the dollar. 1t has been
common thing for the disbursing
agent of the Republican party to
call around after warm campaign,
pay the newspaperman 40 cents on
the dollar, and sink the 60. These
rascals have built fine houses on the
proceeds of such theiveries, but we
never yet knew of a Republican
newspaper t. thrive on party patron
age.
But we did not leave the party
because it swindled us whenever it
could.
Some years ago the APPEAL fell
under q cloud with the party bosses
of Ormsby,
1t was proposed to run a well
known criminal for the State Sem
ate to there 10 the dirty work of the
ossss. The APPEAL editor was ''or
dered'', not requested, to get in line
and stand pat with the programme,
but declined on the grounds that the
man ought to be in the penitentiry
instead of the Senate, and we were
asked sneeringly if we proposed to
repudiate our Republican princi-
plesl" We told the bosses that we
had supported that class Of cattle for
the last time, and from that day the
edict went forth in Ormsby that the
APPEAL was under the ban and must
be deciplined forJits unruly conduct.
The first crack of the party whip
was to beat US out of printing con-
tract, for which we were the lowest
bidder. War was then openly de-
clared and the gauntlet thrown
down.
The APPEAL has never yet de-
clined contest that was forced on to
1T, and so the paper opened its lar
board portfolios and sent a few
bradsides into the county ring.
1t laid bare to the taxpayers the
extravaganza, tile skulduggery, and
fraudulent contracts of the County
ring.
The only return fire was the cry of
''liar," ''liar!" But Judge Rising
squelched this talk with decision
sustaining every charge the APPEAL
had made in the case, and the in
sects ceased buzzing, Speaking of
insects brings up Sardis Summer
field. He ran for the office of Dis
trict Attorney at the primaries and
was buried out of sight by disguised
community. He then went in with
several more of his own kidney and
made a raid on the lottery which
was carried by 800 majority in this
county. He made such loud clamor-
ings against lotteries that when there
was a vacancy In the District Attor-
neys office he was appointed to STOP
Chinese gambling.
The APPEAL knowing that his anti
lottery pretentions amounted t.
nothing, called on him to show hi.
speed and close the Chinese lottery
James. OF course he never even
attempted to close one. He wasn't
there for that purpose. While speak
