MORNING APPEAL.
SATCRRAY XOVCMBEB 10. 1877
CONKLING'S SPLENDID POSITION.
We find in the last dispatches tho following
extract from a leading daily :
The Tribune thinks Roscoe Conkling lias
made a creat sain, by the canvass, with every
body. Expecting his annihilation, he has re
duced the adverse vote on the State ticket,
carried the Senate and saved fighting ground
for himself next year. He is able to point to
the popular vote and declare that he is stronger
in New York than Hayes in Ohio. His op
ponents hold that, except for the Rochester
convention proceedings, the Republicans
would have swept the State.
Roscoe Conkling is a hero. He is a born
leader. He is proud and imperious and scorn
ful of all meanness. He has so genuine a
courage and so fearless a self-assertion as to
awaken the hate rather than propitiate the
temper of his enemies. Such a man, haughty
and courageous, and of rare ability, is the
natural object of the aversion of the envious,
the malevolent and the disappointed. His
absolute opposite and sworn enemy is Reuben
D. Fenton, ex-Governor and ex-Senator of
New Fork. Fenton is sleek, stealthy, Jesuiti
cal. In another age he would have given em
ployment to poisoners and hostage to the
clergy. Conkling is not only his successful
rival, but the bane of his political existence.
The two would be enemies even if they were
and always had been separated by the Atlan- j
tic. fcuch is the law or antagonisms the re
verse o"f the affinities. Such a man as we have
described Conkling to be concen crates the hate
of the vagarists, the impracticables, the
schismatics and the combatant non-combatants.
The result just achieved in New York
the electing of a Republican majority to
the Legislature is Mr. Conkling's most splen
did victory. It shows what can be done by
open and courageous warfare. Hayes has
been contemptible enough to slight every Re
publican chieftain notably the Camerons and
Senator Conkling. The latter, like a true
warrior, accepted the gauge of battle. He
made no mincing work of it. "When he struck
back, he made the steel to ring and the blood
to flow. He roused to the full of his majestic
wrath. His anger at Rochester was terrible
and splendid. The "man milliner" whoop
posed him with the prudish phrase of a dilet
tante was put to confusion. Conkling had
been mercilessly denounced, persistently be
lied, most bitterly censured by Curtis and the
other Hayesites, dissenters and malcontents.
The Senator, moved by that instinct of true
loyalty which is inherent in all chiefs and cap
tains, has stood by Grant through evil and
through good report. The pigmies w ho hated
Grant because ho declined to let them crawl
upon him, also hated Conkling for his fealty
to the great General. Against all these, them
selves encouraged by the pusillanimity of the
. President, Conkling has declared open, fear
less, uncompromising war. Of course they
eomplain, in the whining phrase of the dis
sembling and the unfair, that he should thus,
at length assail them. Like tho Iron Duke
at Lisbon
He greatly stood at bay.
The result of the Legislative contest in the
Empire State is a victory to be inscribed upon
Conkling's sword. It marshals the Repub
lican party the way that it should go. Sub
mission to the death-dealing policy of the
President is destruction utter annihilation.
Its every word and act is either an open or
covert avowal of the sexless vagary of a No
party shibboleth or an insidious and malice
prompted attack upon the validity, perpetua
tion and National character of the Republican
Party. Ohio repudiates Hayes, root and
branch, at once condemning his preposterous
and dishonest policy and rebuking the offen
sive impertinences of Stanley Matthews. New
York, the fighting blood of her yeomanry
aroused, has nobly seconded the gallant Sen
ator who so promptly took up the gauntlet
thrown from the White House. The lesson
is worth heeding. It illustrates for the ten
thousandeth time, the inestimable value of
courage and the essential need of a manful
and a timely resistance. The way to win bat
tles is to fight. Open, frank, valorous war is
the way to real victory. Half-hearted sup
port of the President's policy is equally com
temptible with half-hearted opposition. A
principle that is worth having is worth fight
ing tor. J he more pronounced anu candid
the avowal of enmity the heartier the fight.
If the Republican Party would live it must
combat the President ; and, taking example'
of Roscoe Conkling, resist with scorn his in
sults and his treachery.
A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
We find the following notice of the late
marriage of the mother of Lieut. Gov. Adams
in the Eureka Sentinel. We infer it to have
been copied from an Eastern paper. (There
seems to be a misunderstanding of facts on
the part of the writer, who speaks of one of
the Adams family as "Mayor of Carson City."
The facts are that we have no mayor and that
his name is not Adams). Says our contem
porary: Last week the Whitehall (N . Y.) pa
pers contained the simple notice of the mar
riage of S. Lyman Dwight, of that place, to
Mrs. Nancy Adams of Carson City, Nevada.
Away back in the year 1827, Lyman Dwight
was a lad 17 years old, poor, and accustomed
to earn his own living. About that time he
became devoted to a girl two years younger,
and the youngman's sentiments werequestion
ably reciprocated by her. Her family was a
wealthy one. About that period Dwight ob
tained employment on a sloop that plied on
the waters of Lake Champlain, and while fol
lowing that calling, left his native village,
South Hero. The girl's parents learned of
his vocation, and considering it too menial,
demanded that all intercourse between the
two should cease. Finding that the dictates
of love overcome ail obstacles while the
young people were near each other, the girl
was taken to St. Lawrance county to live, and
as time went on she apparently forgot the
choice of former days, for she married a man
named Adams, who became infused with the
gold fever of 1849, and departed for California
He was industrious, and accumulated a for
tune from gold mining. About 1853 his
family joined him on the Pacific slope and
remained there until the children had become
heads of families. Some time in 1857 the
elder Adams died, and his widow remained
single, devoting herself to the family, of which
certain members have become prominent, one
son at present filling the position of Lieuten
ant Governor of Nevada, while another is
Mayor of Carson City in the same State. Dur
ing this long interval Dwight lingered around
the vicinity where he was born, and after em
barking in several different callings, finally
became a successful merchant, tie was also
married, but his wife died some three years
asro. Learnins by chance where Mrs. Adams
lived, the attachment for his "first love
again asserted itself, and a correspondence
was commenced. After a few months he for
the second time proposed marriage, and no
obstacle preventing, she came from Nevada
a few weeks ago and met Mr. Dwight, the
two not having seen each other since they
were separated, at stated. On Sunday they
met at the Iodine Spring House, South Hero
the home of their childhood and were
married by Rev. Geo. S. Guernsey. Thus,
after a space of fifty years has elapsed, they
are at last united, and living contentedly
PIUTES ON THE WARPATH.
By the Bodie Standard of November 7, we
are informed as follows: Men chopping wood
en the eastern side of Mono Lake, for the
mining companies of Bodie, have been threat
ened by Piute Indians in that vicinity, who
swear by the "Great Father" that they will
shoot every "white squaw" among them if
they do not quit work, clear out and leave
the aborigines in sole possession. What has
given rise to this sentiment, people are at
loss to conceive, unless it be the chronic
jealousy of the red-skins on beholding the
rapid growth of the white population, and con
trasting the difference between their own de
based condition with the continually increas
ing comforts and luxuries of the white settlers.
If a little sense could be hammered into the
clouded intellect of these red brothers and
some of the chronic laziness thrashed out of
them, they might some day comprehend the
laws of nature sufficiently and grow ambitious
enough to induce them to work for a living
like the rest of mankind, instead of frittering
their time away in gambling and stretching
their lazy carcasses in sun's warm rays. It is
to be hoped that the threats of these worth
less creatures may prove but idle talk, yet it
will not do to let it pass and take no prevent
ives against an attempt at their fulfillment.
Let all be on their guard, yet careful to do
nothing to arouse the drowsy creature who is
growling in his sleep.. Throw a biting dog a
bone rather than a stone. Let this be the
motto of all.
Fatal Accident. Of a fatal accident which
happened at Reno on Friday night last,
whereby an old man named Granice was
killed, the Reno Journal of yesterday morn
ing says: Last Tuesday night an old man
named Granice was fatally injured at Washoe.
It seems that he was going from the house to
get a bucket of water. In doing so he had to
cross the V. & T. track. As he was returning
a "light engine" came along returning from
helping a heavy wood train up the grade.
The old man was crossing the track diognally,
and the engineer who saw him, and blew the
whistle, supposed he had got off the track as
he was on the opposite side from him and out
of sight. But in passing, the side of the cow
catcher struck Mr. Granice so violently that
it knocked him 37 feet, landing him on the
rocks. He was taken care of immediate!',
and Dr. Hogan summoned, but nothing could
be done for him, and he died Wednesday
night, ne was 75 years of age and had been
in the country two years, having left Mie East
to spend his few remaining days with his son,
D. Garnice.

Of a trotting match which will take place
to-day at Reno, Thursday's Gazette says : M.
C. Lake's horse Mussina and A. C. Brass's
Tom Morgan have been matched to harness,
mile heats, three in five; stake, 150 a side.
The terms of the match compel Bragg to drive
his own horse, while Mat. Davis, an experi
enced driver, will handle Muggins. A great
deal of talk is heard in regard to the race
and every one has his own opinion. Common
report says that Muggins is a better horse
