ABOUT JONES.

His other name was Jones, and the
time was the morning after "the cau-
GUS" There are a few antiquated
idiots who insist that it was a sorry
day when Sharon decided to drop the
bauble, and attend to his
bank and railroad enterprises alone.
They say his withdrawal simply left
the field open to Jones, who foollshly
spent half a million in buying his Sem
honors twice II not thrice
first, In carting the honest voters of
Nevada to the primaries, then to the
polls In November. And 1t is just
possible, but scarcely probable that he
may have to come out to the Oliver
Twist Tor Fagan-Sykes) cry for more,
next week. 1t Is a we'll settled fact,
that no man, however we'll qualified.

therefore, all light-weights In that re-
spect. should cheerfully stand from

name Of Jay p. Jay was enough, con-
sldering his "corner" onCrown Point,
to have assured him a clear track to

glory In Jones' determination to make
sure Of the matter, even If he became
bankrupt Immediately after taking his
seat. So pure a patriot would doubtless
be we'll provided for ut the Capitol Of
his adopted country. Even though his
well-known social habits should render
him a second McDeugal on the hands
Of his constituents In California land
Nevada), he could boast of being a U.
5. Senator, and having made 1t lively
for the boys. These old fogies think
that Sharon should have fought 1t out
on the Senatorial line, and had he won,
the State would have been vastly bet
ter represented, %monopolist rs he Is
called; better still, had the division
enabled u modest, sober nan Of brains
to slip In at the eleventh hour. They
say that Sharon makes few promises
on any or all occasions, and those only
which he fultills to the letter. That
he Is a man of temperate habits, and
does not permit the Barbary Coast
Brigade to revolye round him on all
occasions rs familiar rs so many hun

Grant carried Tom Fitch through to
Congress In '6S; he has tho doubtful
honor Of bridging the chasm for Jones
In pa most tiankless task all
around In both instances. When
Fitch couldn't use the President, he
spoke for Greeley; 1t Is only too we'll
known that Jones, In the v%oluptuous-
ness of his foresight, insisted. up to a
late hour in the campaign, that Gree.
ley was "the coming man," aud called
the modest. unrecrimlnating President
all his tongue could ~coninre up. Let
this caucus brigade of tried Republic
ans think Of these things when they
cast their bread.and-ballots for the
king of Crown Point.
Nothing since the muster Of Fall
staff's recruits has excited such pa
thetic interest rs this party-whip out
tit at the Ormsby House. Of Ncvada's
capital. Jones sat like Bacchus. amid
a bower of willow-coyered demijohns,
calling the roll. The Innocents from
Esmeralda, the Ingrates from Ormsby,

counties In the State, filed In and out,
and we're duly inspected and branded.

what base uses! Is the railroad or any
other ring afraid Of the pretended OPP
position Of such a Senator? the rail-
road. which goes along attending to
legitimate business, alarmed ut the
sudden success Of a stock operator,
whose success 1t Is declared Is due to
a breach OF faith to his aforesaid rival ?
Did not our hero Of to-day figure
chiefly in n suit against the ranchnen
of Douglas county, and then honey
fuggle them into the belief that he
could not harm n poor man II he tried ?
Did he not promise everything to
everybody, In the Federal way, in case
Of his election, during the late CAM
paign? We, of Douglas county, re-
| member the suit aud the denial, and
have a Small interest In the caucus
menagerie.
The Democratic Sutro Is aiming at a
monopoly that will overshadow all
the railroads in Nevada, now or to
come. Kendall wants Congress to
substitute 1t, and Jones was his right
bower In the campaign. 1t is to be
hoped that when King John takes his
| seat he will emulate the example Of
Prince Hal, discard Bardolph, Pcto
and Pistol, and live cleanly generally
lie can afford to, but the proof Of the
pudding Is IN the eating. Those who
wish to chew the bag are welcome to
it. None Of 1t in mine, Hal, IAN

reform show. "You pays your money
and takes your choice" But man Is
frail, and l am charitably yours,
