A Comstock Printer Gives the "Organ" a Severe Rap.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE APPEAL.
I notice that a new Democratic paper has been started in your town which poses as a friend of the laboring class, etc. Now if this sheet is such a pronounced friend of the labor interests it had better discard its stereotype matter set up in San Francisco and fill up its columns with regular composition set up in the State by Nevada printers.
No true printer recognizes a paper run with San Francisco stereotypes and when such a paper tries to catch on as a special friend of the laboring classes it simply makes us laugh.
Yours,
A COMSTOCK TYPO.
