MIR. JONES AND HIS ASSISTANTS.

passed upon Hon. John P. Jones, We are
reminded OF a remark Of Mr.. jefferson,
that patronage was curse to the dis
penser of it. While Mr. Jones has had
no patronage thus far at his command
he is known TO have acquired wealth by
lndomitable energy, sagacity and indus
try, and every charlatan in quest of filthy
lucre looked to him as the source of sup
ply, supposing, in their greed for coin,
that his purse was open to all who chose
to make demand upon it. Failing, as
all have, who made such unworthy at
tempts, they at once turned their batter
les of envy and spleen upon the man be-
fore whom they would willingly have
kneeled could they have cajoled him
into relieving their itching palms. But
Mr.. Jones made his appeal to the people
in their sovereign capacity. The Press,
rejecting the popular will, espoused the
cause Of the peoples champion, and the
result viii be the triumphant election Of
John P. Jones to the United States Sen.
ate. But with desperation, his unscrup-
ulous ASSISTANTS cling to the faint hope
that some combination may be made by
which the clearly expressed Wishes of
the masses are to lie disregarded, and.
under the guise of selecting compro-
mise candidate bring forward and elect
some one upon whose merits or dement's
the people have never been consulted.
IL regard to the .EtquittaI o: Courtney
IN Virginia, We can say without fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that it was through
the instrumentality Of Courtney's friends
here. and that Mr. Jones had nothing to
do with it. Another charge is that he is
very free with lis money spends q great
dealln this State. This is singular charge
to make. That Mr.. Jones has been
liberal i'll tue use Of his means, and has
given employment to numbers where the
returns were by no means certain. is
true but contrast this course with that
of the carpet-baggers who amass wealth
IN this State and flee to other lands to
enjoy it. The Chronicle man, however,
is stimulated in his efforts to defeat Mr.
ionss by a vivid recollection of dinner
party which he was not invited to at-
tend and write up. Mr. Jones modestlv
declined the proffer of the Chronicles
assistance in ''pufing" him into notorietv
on the occasion Of q private dinner party;
hence the rancor and spleen of that
sheet Therefore all the appliances of
denunciation are brought into play:
every tit-hit of scandal is used to manu-
tacture spurious sentiment against Mr..
Jones, simply because the attempts of
the blackmoilers have been frustrated
Bnt all their Vaccinations will prove IN
awaiting, and on the 4th Of March the
obscene joker who now disgraces the
State by his presence in the Senate will
have to retire and yield his place to one
emlnently fitte d by native sagacity, init
mate knowledge Of the State best inter-
ests, and sterling integrity to represent
the State Of Nevada il the Senate. The
fiat has gone forth, and squirm and
roth as they may, the traducers of Mr..
Jones will signally fail both in their
effort to eXtort money from him and in
their puerile attempts to compass his
defeat
Since the foregoing was written and
put in type, We have received the Viz
5lnia Enterprise, Of the 31st ult. from
which We extract the following para
graph from Its leading article:
