Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1904-09-08
NO POLITICS IN IT,
The Gazetts Queer Idea of the St.
Louis Close Down.

money to run the ST. Louis Exhibit !
incites the Reno Gazette to the follow !
ing:
Examiners in summarily refusing 20 |
permit the ST. Louis fair commission
from this State to contract indebted |
ness of $4,000 in order to keep tao |
exhibit open until the close of the !
exposition is not commended by the !:
people of the State
The consensus Of opinion Is that had !
not Yerington been the Republican !
congressional nominee this action
would not have been taken 1t is 100
tempting a chance to get in political
swipe at an opponent and it was not
overlooked.
1T will be necessary now to close
the various exhibits, nail up the doors
and windows of the Nevada Building
and if any present Indebtedness ex-
lists to have the States exhibit go
into the hands of a receiver
I'VE present this as first class ex-
ample of Democratic statesman ship,
IMPLYING what always occurs when
the Democratic party is in power n
nation or state. The chance to turn
Of the State.
1T is not going to > ssida any
good to else her e =, there The
State started out to make an exhibit
at st. Louis, and for it's own credit AMI
honor it should see it through to the
end. The $4,000 more that is necos-
sary to continue it until the end #
the fair is not going to break the
State, and on the ether hand it S
an expenditure demanded to meet a
contingency wherein our public rep
utation is CONSERVED
The Gazette ought to know II i
does not. that there is no power RESI-
ing in the State Board by which they
could send the marooned commission
ers at ST Louis dollar except they
went down in their own pockets AMI
raised the money. The appropriation
of 100000 is exhausted and if even
they attempt to sanction the sending
Of $4,000 to st. Louis. the Controller
would have no right to draw a war-
rant for that amount and would not
draw it and if he did the State Treas
urev would have no right to pay tho
amount and you may be quite sure
that he would not do it.
If either of the officials did such a
thing their bondsmen could be held
responsible.
1t is in no way a political matt ar
as the personelle of the Board elm
mates politics from the case.
Mr.. Yerington is a Republican, Har
din Democrat and Prudential was
elected to the Senate on the Silver
ticket.
These men have all failed signa!lv
in their work at St. Louis and they
have but themselves to blame
The appropriation was just twic
the money was simply melted away
The Appeal charges no dishonesty
to any of the Commissioners
1t happened that Mr.. Yerington has
handled most of the money as cha +
man and as he sought the main pos
ition the blame Of the failure must
rest on his shoulders. Jim Yeringtcr
is what is known as general u
around good fellow. He is a perfect
dresser, he shines resplendent in 6
ball room, giving a champagne supper
or ordering swell dinner. His breed
ing and manners are irreprOachab,t
and he is sauve, polite and well ed,l
Gated.
Men who represent other states Al
commissioners and who handle quar-
ter million exhibits step aside ant
give him the right of way as he saun
tiers down the Pike.
When he w2..>s into an opera b0-
with a grand dame on his arm, tn
eyes OF every woman IN the dress cli
Gle rest fondly on him for he is be
yond all question the Beau Brumnu
of the Louisiana Exposition of 1870
He has apartments at the Planter
Hotel, one of the highest priced hos
teries in the United States, and l.
meets there the very best people
Nc matter what company he bump
up against he keeps his end up an
always has his excellent Nevada merry
with him.
He can make more of a showing {
this kind on $4,000 than any man !;
Nevada. The main trouble abor
James is his lack of practicle know
ledge and he has gradually grown !
