to nominate delegates to the County
and State Conventions arrives. but
owing to opposition, some Of the clubs
make no nominations at all. yet next
morning the nominations which the
Jones clique intended they should
make are published In the Enterprise,
Jones' chief organ. Then 1t turns out
that a secret conclave Of Ave men, Of
whom Jones himself was one, the
editor of the Enterprise another. aud

met at Virginia City and had selected
those very delegates three or four days
beforehand. AT the primaries these
delegates we're voted for by the Jones
party, and Of course elected, those
opposed not caring 70 vote at all In
the face of such shameless, barefaced
Intriguing.

Enterprise had to make himself con-
>picuous. He must needs head the list
Of the county delegates with his own
name, and not content with this. head.
cd the State delegates the SAINT way.
Jones' Inherent modesty would not al
low him to place his own name among
the delegates, but the G. o. G. was not
troubled that way. H. could not re

himself out In front and sound forth

arrogance to direct the Republican

Jones party did vote for the c. o. G.

But Woe BIZ unto them II they do not

9TH OF November the people will show
the Jones clique and the Enterprise
that they are not the leaders, controll

lican party.
This rule or ruin policy Of the Enter
prise never has won yet, aud never
will. The chief organ grinder never
was a success In politics. The c. o. G.
may look within the depths Of his psy-
c~hoscopic soul and recognize this fact.

eud that such barefaccd trickery will
not succeed, but that honesty even In
politics Is good policy. Last FRIDAY
evening In the First Ward Club. Gold
Hill, the worthy President thereof
took occasion to state that the club had
been charged by somebody with lrreg-
ularity In Its political transactions,
aud he raised his voice loudly and
smote his right fist heavily upon his
desk as he declared such Charge to b.
fal.e. 1t may not have been on the
Jones programme to defeat q nomina
ton OF delegates that evening, aud II
may b. all regular enough for the club
to adopt the Enterprise list OF dele
gates without n word VI objection, but
it Is perfectly plain that the club failed
to do Its duty in not nominating a list
of delegates that very evening. True.
1t did enact the burlesque OF placing
the entire club In nomination, and We
presume the worthy President will
claim that IL WAS perfectly regular to
do so. We hope to hear him give II
S luare explanation at the next meet
ing. The fact of the matter Is this
the whole arrangement has been jones
from beginning to end. The prilna.
ries were n resulting farce, aud
Of no binding weight. The Jones
clique had things all their own
way, and the result will be the defeat
of jones at the general election, whicl,
will be no farce, but square business.
The c. o. e.. may again threaten to
"hoist the black flag and scuttle the
ship" but he will BIZ allowed to bolt
uIheeded. aud from his lgnoble re-
tlrement look wiStfully back upon the
hopes of Jones which lie 80 energetic
ally and unwittiugIy assisted to blast.
aud the triumph In which lie was not
allowed to participate.
1t Is NIL very we'll for interested,
kiud-hearted Jonesites to siy to the vo-
tiers, whose rights are thus ignored and
trampled upon, "staud It let It pass;
aud let all work together for har-
mony's sake. aud prevent a Demo-
cratic triumph" but this arrogant
style Of putting up n bareficed polltl-
cal job. aud then telling people who
don't like It. a Ii Boss Tweed. "what
are you going to do about lt9" will
hardly work In this free section Of
Uncle Sans dominions.
