MORNING APPEAL.
THE SENATORSHIP.

Among the most important political move
ments of the New Year is that which will
marshal the various clansmen of the Republi-
can party for the struggle which will inevita-
bly, precede the election of Senator Jones'
successor. In the outset of what we have to
say upon this subject we are not at all back
ward in saying that the MORNING APPEAL ia
yors the reelection of Mr. Jones. More es-
pecially do We feel prompted to this unequlV
ucal declaration by the fact Gf it be a fact),
that Jones is no longer millionaire. (Ru-
NOR, which is busy with his name, says he is
not prepared to repeat the extraordinary eff
forts and lavish expenditures Of his fight of
1872 Indeed, the more explicit statement
is that he has nothing but lis .ery ,,.,.;,t mer-
its-as the author and prime mover Of the sill
Yer agitation-with which t. 90 before the
reople.) We are glad to i.leve this to be
true. We should he more tnau pleased 10 be
assured that Mr.. Joness VAT fortunes We're
unimpaired but if the circumstances which.
have heretofore deluged the political masses
with money are to be abatcd in the future,
We shall be clad Of it. 1t IS time : sada
were rid Of the reputation of a ro.ten borough.
There have been many rumors Of the course
intended by the Bonanza firm. Gossips Of all
sorts and degrees have been as busy with the
names of John Mackay and James G. Fair as
they have with those of John P Jones and
William Sharon. The MORNING APPEAL is
convinced that there is nothing at all upon
+1,o+o
or Fair are candidates for the Senate. These
men are miners-the most successful miners
il the world. They are devoted to their work;
and Mr.. Fair watches every movement and
each minute thing connected with the mines !
Il which he is the Superintendent as eagerly |
and with as much faithfulness as if he were |
lust making his first thousand instead of his |
thirtieth million dollars Indeed, it is an adj |
mirable example OF pertinacity and zeal III the |
direction of daily duties, is the consistency of .
these miners to their work 1t is understood |
that Mr. Mackay will go to Paris i'll the
Spring,
We have heard of other Republicans who
are willing to bear the honors and RESPONSE
bilities of the Senatorship. The more. the
merrier,
John P Jones is prominently adapted to
the life and work of politician. He is genial,
natural and sngularIy strong in the quality
Of common sense. His efforts and knowledge;
his vast researches and untiring labors in the
Silver RECOMMENDATION movement show him
il the light of Statesman Of the very first
order. He ranks with the very foremost pub
licists of the age.
But it is not so much because Of his mas
terly efforts in behalf of the Dual Standard as
it is because Of his brave, CONSTANT and man
full stand against Hayes and in the distin-
guished company of Roscoe Conkling that the
MORNING APPEAL thus freely and unequiyo-
cally offers Mr.. Jones its support. He has
shown himself Republican of the truest
stamp He has held steadfast against treach-
cry, pretense and power We believe that
this people Will reward him for his faithful
ness and zeal. We have every faith that when d
the Republicans of Nevada shall have assem-
oled in their State and County Conventions,
hey will promptly and unhesitatingly set the +
seal of their condemnation upon President
whose every step and effort has been directed
toward the disruption OF his party and the +
triumph of its most malignant foes. We also
believe that the Republican party of Nevada :.
will signify, most directly and Enthusiastically L
is full approval Of and confidence in Senator '
Jones. Certainly Senator who has directed
lis efforts 50 successfully in favor of the res
Grafton to its proper place among high none
airy values of the chief product of our State,
himself to the favorable considera- ~
ion of all classes, Certainly, ALSO Senator
n Congress, elected by the Republicans Of -
Jevada, who has shown himself so fearlessy -
nd frankly loyal to the principles, usages and
Mission of that party as Jones has, is emf =,
emily deserving of the endorsement implied y,
a reelection to the office he now holds "
