The Carson Appeal, the official Fu-
sion paper OF the State, is the only pa
per in that party's embrace that has
attempted even a weak reply to the
above from tue Ledger. Perhaps the
Appeal does not mean what it has to
say in the following, but because of its
monetary position was forced to at
least express its official feeling in the
matter
1.-THE last number OF the Reno Led
ger contained a doeful forecast OF the
future of the Fusion party. Accord
ing to the Ledger, the carly dissolution
of the party may be looked for; 10 fact
the editor believes that it IS already
dead.
1t is remarkable that the Fusion par.
ty, which has been very much alive
during the last twelve years, should
again die According to our pessimis-
tic exchanges, this peculiar party has
given up the ghost and been gathered
to its fathers about dozen times in
the last decade.
As near as the Appeal is able to learn
the party dies natural death between
elections and in some unaccounta BILE
way comes tQ1ife again just about cleo
ton time, and having swept the State
by about fifteen hundred majority,
gathers its grave clothes about its pal
sled limbs and expires amid the plaud-
its OF the Republican press only to kick
its coffin LID of d couple of years later
and again carry the State by solid ma.
jorities. 1t seems quite an easy matter
to kill the Fusion party OF Nevada, but
it seems almost impossible to beat 1t
into the heads. of the Fusion voters Of
the State that the party Is indeed dead
and it somehow cannot be persuaded to
lie down in it's sepulchre and keep still.
''In the language of the immortal
Shakespeare, 1.-THE tomb in which we
saw thee recently Inferred has opened
its marble jaws to cast thee up again. "
What a shallow argument for the Of
fetal organ OF the party to make. 1t
does not deny that IL is rotten and po-
litically dead. Nor does 1t make an at
tempt at showing any evidence of the
party's life. 1t is dead, the Appeal con
fesses IL, but says that it will rise again.
We doubt that very much. The Silver
