ENLARGING oRMsBY's TERRITORY

Nest rs Briggs add CIisler are working
like beavers in the fight to give Ormsby
some OF the increase of territory which
she so badly needs, but Mr.. Murphy,
tile other representative OF Ormsby does
not consider that Ormsby needs any
more territory.
1t is incomprehensible to the APPEAL
hat a man elected to the legislature by
the votes OF the people OF Ornsby county
should become oblivious TO the great ad-
vantages that would accrue to Ormsby
by giving her territory that geographic
ally belongs to it.
He is here to legislate for Ormsby
county and not Washoe. Storey and
Lyon are also asking for some territory
from Washoe that rightly belongs to
them and Ornisby county should do all
it caa to assist them.
Washoe has bulldozed and bullied all
the counties in the State by turns and
by its tactics has swelled itself to occupy
over 5000 square miles of land. 1t has
not hesitated to reach out in every di-
rection in the acquisition OF territory
and o after robbing the other coun-
ties right and left is %squealing when the
counties which have been despoiled
want some OF their territory back.
In this f1ght We would like to have
Mr.. Murp ply decide whether he is from
Washes or Ormsby. The people would
like to know.-Carson Appeal.
"As vicious M think all men are
knaves,
And shrew-bound gentlemen discourse
of slaves;
As Keeling drunkards judge the world
unsteady
And idlers swear employers ne'er
get ready
Thieves that the constable stole all
they had,
The mad that all except themselves
are mad;
So. in anotner's clear escuctheon
shown"
Ormsby rails at stains reflected from
her own.
While hurting at Washoe an unsul-
ported and untruthful allegation of at
tanning territory by bulldozing methods,
bribery, theft, cajolery and numerous
other crimes, the Appeal unmasks
Ormsby's practices and its soul. There
is no doubt OF the truth that Urmsby is
fast becoming impoverished, that the
howl give OrnIsby some vi the in
crease OF territory which she 80 badly
needs" IL a sincere one, that if it did not
have the legs of the Legislature to pail
biennially it would have been dead and
decayed q decade ago. By u~pnolding
the extravaganza OF the State govern
msnt to the gain oil Orlnsby and the loss
OF every other county i'll the State,
Ormsby has established herself as
B~lood-sucker in Chief OF Nevada.
The citizens OF Storey have met Ell
masse to register once again All objection
to pouring out Its lie biosd to nourish
dying Ornlsby by further sustaining fat
OlllGidlo Ol lat SaiATlch uThWn from Tile
lean populace. Storey has struck at the
root oil the evil by taking measures to
insure the needed economy in county
affairs. Let Urmsby do likewise aud
not endeavor to build up herself by
stealing from her neighbor, nor under
the guise OF tiimsy f~aisehoods seek to
punish Washoe for expressing political
preference. No Nevada Legislature will
ever lake u hand in such dastaraiy uu-
American work.
The Appeal in eadeavoring t cast a
reflection upon the action OF Mr.. Muir
ply entirely over looks the primary prin-
ciple OF government. MIR. Murphy az
well a. every other representative was
elected 10 lrIislaie ior Nevada and the
common good Of Nevaia's paoj.le and Ter
every county oi Nevada. II is Just as
