EDITOR News: As II appeafs to b
so heinous q sin for ciizeas Of the
State Of Nevada to speak Or write the
truth, l almost tremble at the idea Of
writing anything that can in the
least degree initiate against the inter-
est Of the great "money King" Of the
present hour. Z. Jones-but as his,
election to the position Of United
States Senator for the State draws
near, and I find that the nearer the
time comes the more strongly. are the
chains drawn around men who hereto.
fore I have been led to. believe were
men Of pure character and in6uenced
by naught but pure motives In all their
political acts, I cannot refrain from
placing before the public a few facts,
the which to me ara sufficient reasons
tor any. and all to throw away Mr..
Jones and to accept any other good
man that may be offered for their
choice.
Mr.. John P. Jones has eyer pro-
claimed himself rs anti-monopolist
and as opposed to the Bank Of Califor-
MIA and G. Pr. R., and on no other
issue could he have possibly stood any
chance with the peopls;o f this State.
Can Mi. Jones or any.of bis tools'deny
that the United States Senatorshlp was
made up by w. G. Ralston. w. NJ.
Stewart and Leland Stanford, In STAN
ford's room In San FRANCISCO gaL
Will any one deny that Stanford
agreed to support Jones on the express
condition that no bill should be passed
In Congress to regulate frelghts and
fares on the c. P. r. r.. or that Jones
was compelled to agree to support Will
liam NJ. Stewart for the us. Senate
two years hence? Did not. Jones con-
sent to this scheme on the withdrawal
Of Mr.. Sharon from the Senatorial con-
test? Was not Charles Goodwin hood
wlnked and humbugged into the belief
that he was to be the Congressman Vice
Kendall. and only slaughtered for the
purpose Of advancing the interests OF
Jones with Sutro and securing Sutro's
cooperation 2 Did not John r. Jones
parade a lengthy document antagonis-
tic to the Sutro Tunnel scheme, to nil
and every friend who approached him
on the subject, and did he not at the
election, lob-nob with Adolph Sutro
and his friends for his and their sup
port? Was not the burthen OF the cry
against Nye that lie was a tool of mo-
nopolies? that lie was not q represent
alive Of the people2 Was not Mr..
Jones' strongest and really only re-
commentator to the voters Of Storey
and other counties that he was a man
of the people-an anti-monopolist and
a man who would fight to the bitter
end the Bank of California and Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company?
Let any citizen of Nevada, or any
Representative deny these facts. We
say that the man who will 60 back OH
all his promises before election Is not
to be depended on to represent the
people afterwards, and we say that
Mr.. Jones has given proof by his
trucking to Messrs. Ralston. Stewart
d Co. that he is not to be depended
upon. Better Mr.. Sharon, a "a who
truckles to no ina /; better Mr.. Nye,
who has at least never fawned on any
OF the money kings; better, aye, a
thousand times better, any good Re-
publican, IL he Is but known to be
honest aud Independent, than j. P.
Jones, who has gone back OIL every
thing he eve promised. There are
but a few days for legislators to con-
slider, and in the interim between this
aud Tuesday we challenge any and all
to deny, II they can and dare, that
John P. Jones was the head and front
of the anti.Grant movement in the
western part Of this State Of Nevada.
Let the sycophants and toadies, who
praise up this mushroom money king,
answer these queries, and not attempt
to set the truth down rs burlesque or
envy.
