Opinions Of senator Jones
NEW YORK, July 30.
To q Graphic reporter, before he started
West, Senator Jones said he would not be
surprised to hear that the Greenbackers
| will control the next Congress. He is ia
vorable, he says, to any measure or policy
kho puil1 hiring the CraaraSt pOpd In the
| greatest number. 1t would be wise for the
| Government to settle the Industrious poor
on the public lands, and give employment
to many on the public works. A system
| of public Improvement should be inaugu-
rated. Something must be done to relieve
the suffering which exists among the
masses. He does not think Grant dreams
Of being nominated.
HuntOn Posts Columbus, Alexander.
NEW York, July 20.
The Uerald's Washington correspondent
says the following is the posting Hunton
gave Columbus Alexander: / have given
this individual a opportunity to show
that he is a gentleman and a man Of ccur-
age, but he has not done me the justice Of
the one, or been willing to accord me the
redress of the other. He refuses to come
from the protection of the police, which he
affects to despise, and / cannot reach him
without exposing my friends to the peni-
Tertiary. I therefore proclaim him q ma
licious liar, a vulgar blackguard, and
en- irresponsible coward The public are
therefore assured that | shall take no fur
Their notice of Columbus Alexander or n
publication from him.
