Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1895-03-23
UNDUlY EXCITED.


mouth piece of the Republican party
in this State. is unduly excited AVER the
idea that it is quite possible that the
past Republican administration OF the
Mint may have been responsible TOT
the 5000 shortage in that lnstttn-
ton. 1t bases its right to froth at the
mouth over an article sent by the tele-
graphic representative OF the oan
Francisco Examiner and states that
GREAT indignation prevails in Carson
over the insinuation in the article that
the shortage may have occurred prior
TO the Adams administration. 1t fur.
Their says:
There is no excuse for the tone OF
the Examiners report OF the MINT al
fair. That paper may possibly be
Subsidized by the supporters Of the adj
ministration, or the correspondent
who was sent from San Francisco may
have got int the tolls of Sam Davis.
Neither of these possibilities, however,
are frauCht with that which apper
tains to journalistic glory.
The editor of the APPEAL had no
more to do with the Examiner article
than did the editor of the Enterprise,
and neither endorses nor condemns IL.
We will state, however, for the benent
of the Enterprise writer that we have
noticed no great display OF lndlgna,
tion over the article in this city and
will further state that arge numbers
of Intelligent people in Carson are
placing great dea, Of stock in the
theory. When the shortage first be-
came known, the writer received dis
patch from NJ H. DeYoung OF san
Francisco asking for telegraphlc IN
formation regarding the shortage.
We have sent dispatches daily to the
Chronicle of San Francisco regarding
the shortage and these dispatches are
matter of record. In these DIS
patches we have endeavored to Sill
facts from runners, no easy task IN
der the circumstances. we nave
never instiCated in the most remote
wav any dispatch to the Examiner
The trouble with the Enterprise Is
that it is edited by someone who mas
but a remote knowledge OF NeVaoa
He is evidently credensive, suscept
lille individual. easily stuffed by
strangers and gullable to remote de
gree. Some playful typo in the Enter
prise office has strung the Jay VIII
the idea that when anything happens
to the Republican party in this otate
that the editor of the APPEAL is at IN
bottom of it. These stories have s.
excited the imagination of the Enter
prise tenderfoot that he has built Y
ont Of the APPEAL editor a veritabl
"Frankenstine" rising from the char
mel vaults. the manufactured produc
of a hundred corpses, endowed VII
diabolical life, ready to go forth an
terrorlze the earth. a
The story goes that once IN an Its
village. there was mischlevouS yout
known as Paddy OMiles boy, VIII
stole all the apples, robbed all the he
roosts, poisoned all the dogs an
broke all he windows in the tow
PADDY OMiles' boy has long sine
been gathered to his fathers, but to Il
editor of the Enterprise, his relnca
mated spirit still lives in the person
the APPEAL editor. We presume b
will never be wholly disabuSed OF Il
idea. for we know of no way that a
incandescent ass can ever be tauSl
anything else.
We will further state for his beneii
that the theory of the shortage beln
a hold-over product Of another adml
istration is firmly believed IN tn
