ADinerence, of Opinion.

American party to adopt such nominations, o.
be defeated, threatens those members Of Con-
gress with Gloss of tongues and ears" who
may vote for the proprietors of the organ as
public printers whereas, the American
Union, an out and out American paper, pub
lished in Perry county, Missouri, holds the
following language:
FThe citizens of Missouri will remember the
Jealous efforts of Mr. Ellis In behalf Of the Amer
lean cause in 1912. He is now Controlling the
editorial department of the American organ az
Washington. =,
1--WE notice that be has announced himself as
4 candidate for printer TO the House. Heartily 90
we wish him success, for not only has he employed
his talents, but he has spent an ample fortune In
defending the right of Americans to rule America
No man can question the honesty OF Vespasian
Elliss opinions upon the American question.
We copy the above friendly and tuthJat
article from the American Union" of Janua-
nv 50, and take occasion to return our thanks
to the editor, who, though unknown to US per-
sonally, seems to understand something OF our
history as an advocate of American doctrines,
and Justly to appreciate our claims upon the
American party.
There are those inside the walls Of Con-
gress both in the House and in the Senate,
who are living witnesses of the fact that we
originated the American movement in Missouri
in 1871; that we spent the avails OF q dozen
years laborious practice at the bar in the Amer
lean cause there, besides our own time, and
that we left ST. Louis bankrupt in fortune, from
the support of the American cause, and from
that alone.
We purchased and conducted daily jour
nal in st. Louis, devoted to Native American
doctrines, and continued it, until the pecuniary
pressure in 1912, brought about by the failure
of the Illinois Banks, FRUSTRATED us, and almost
every other business man in that section Of
the country.
As to the part we have taken in the recent
movement in behalf of American doctrines in
this city, our loss of time and money here, in
the cause, there are so many living witnesses
Of our efforts, we shall leave them to speak
for US. If the American party in Congress do
not think proper, in casting their votes, to have
any regard to these facts, but rather to follow
the dictation of those who are enemies to our
press, simply because they cannot control its
course, we shall bow in silence.
Our services to the cause, such as they have
been, and our political course, however it may
be Judged, are before both our friends and
enemies. If our services have been small they
were all we could render, and if our course has
boon unwise, it has been guided by our best
Judgment In the future, then, as in the past,
we shall be influenced by no other purpose,
than an earnest desire to promote the success
of American doctrines, regardless throughout,
of consequences to ourselves, whether they
come from the enemies of our doctrines, or the
enemies of our press.
Hon. j. Clancy Jones, of Pennsylvania.
This gentleman has been recognised as the
leader of the g Foreign contingent" or Rich
ardson phalanx, in the House of Representa-
tives, and during his absence-heing in pursuit
Of the United States Senatorship-his forces
have experienced several surprises, and more
than once manifested considerable uneasiness
lest their dyi-sergeant should be wanting in
the requisite skill and courage. Mr. Jones is
the author of the famous caucus resolution
which stigmatizcs those who are his superiors
in all save mere party tactics and political Chi
canery, as bigots and proscriptionists. He is
the same individual who pledged Pennsylvania
Democracy to the support of the Kansas-Ne-
braska bin, and characterized all others than
Democrats as opponents of the constitutional
rights of the South. He is the inventor of the
K Kansas N ebraska test of Democratic orthodoxy,
and the eulogist of the Richardson phalanx;"
yet his State Legislature, over whose election
he and his comrade in the House Of Represent
atives rejoiced, has repudiated him, and select
ed Ex-Governor Bigler for the United States
Senate, who during the late canvass defended
the Kansas-N Nebraska bill, on t ground that
it extended the :" area of free, J." and who
held different opinions in different parts of the
State during the canvass
But the mere defeat of this Pennsylvania
Apostle, who is the author of the last test Of
Democratic orthodoxy, is sufficient to demon
strate the utter fasity of his declaration to the
effect that the Pennsylvania Democracy was
sound upon the Kansas ebraska bill. He
had forced himself into position which rem
dered it necessary for the Legislature, which
is composed of majority of his party to make
him the Senator, or else repudiate the test of
which he was the author. They have not
only repudiated him, but selected another, who
held, during the gubernatorial canvass, con-
trary opinions
A correspondent of the Philadelphia papers,
writing from Harrisburg, says
"Hon. j. Clancy Jones made his first appear
ance here on yesterday, and exhibited perhaps,
more anxiety on this subject than any other candi
