Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-11-05
THE UNIVER-
SITY LOSS.
THE NEWS" ANSWERED
BY THE VERY REC
ORDS QUOTES.
It Was the R. R. Delegation
That Caused it to go to
Reno, and not the
"Appeal".

"Appeal".
The News of Saturday contains a |
column statement relative to the loss |
OF the University to Carson and at
temps to show that the APPEAL was
factor in sending it there and that it
approved OF the vote by which Senator
Parker killed the University bill and
saved the State Prison.
Messers Dunn and Lemon we're not
publishing newspaper in Carson at
the time and can only gather informa
ton relative to the status of affairs at
that time by reference to the columns
Of the APPEAL.
The article they quote from, in part,
was an allusion to the claim made by
Senator Parker that while he had lost
the University he had saved the State
Prison. For weeks the unsightly
plans Of the State Prison project at
Reno were on the walls of the Senate
chamber and every one knew these
plans were merely bluff to influence
Legislation and furnish an excuse for
men who wanted to vote for WashOe's
interest. The rest of the article quoted
oy the News is in reference to relief
bill to be paid the maker of the maps
and other facetious illusions to the
gall OF Washoe county.
Now the real position of the APPEAL
can best understood by further quota
tions from it.
It's issue of March Sth contains the
following:
