publieans fail to do their duty and do
not return Mr.. Jones to his seat for
another six years. their action would be
construed east Of the Rocky Mountains
as q disapproval Of the Silver bill for

and the gold rings OF the East would
take heart and hope for a new crusade
against the main product Of u State.
We must show no such signs Of weak
ness as that We must give no such aid
and comfort to the enemy.
We believe that the great body OF the
Republican party is determined to send
Senator Jones back to Washington for
another six years term. II has been
limited for a few days past that there are
man within our ranks-men who aspire
to DO leaders among Rspublicans-who
are laying plans To Gus. Mr.. Jones from
his seat and instats another Republican.
The recent attempt to have but n
primary election for both the county
and State conventions Is said TO have
been q movement against Senator Jones.
II IL vas, 1t has happily failed. and our
county and State conventions will not

primaries. as was proposed. II such .
plot ~ the one limited at Is really in
existence. We would say to the men con-
~csrned-and they are we'll known-that
unless they are prepared to thoroughly

they will act wisely in giving up, once
and for all. this ~snti-Jonss movement.
The people Of this State are in favor Of
Jones. The Republican party. almost
to q man. is pledged to return Jones.
and any independent movement within
our ranks. while it will have not the
slightest chance Of being crowned with
success, will so thoroughly disgust and
alarm good. honest Republicans. that
the party will march to assured defeat
| this Fall.
We throw out the above suggestions
simply ~ . warning to the Republicans,
II such there be. who are just now en-
gsgsd in bearing Jones' stock. II is n
stock that will not be pushed down. and
any open attempt to dsprsciats 1t would
meet with such q stirring rebuks that
the operators would sink back from the
indignant party abashed. Secret work.
ings to that end must be prevented by
our County Conventions. Let them
understand at the outset that no Senator
and no Assemblyman who is not known
to be in favor Of John =. Jones for the
United States Senate will stand the
faintsst show Of being elected on the
Republican ticket. II men who are pro-
nounced in their advocacy OF Jones are
nominated all over the State. we shall
be surprised at the popular majorites
which they will receive. The name Of
Jones alone is . power Of strength to our
party. Let US see Il it that IL is borne
aloft in the front ranks OF our advancing
columns.
II this conspiracy against Jones has
really any strength, which we sincerely
doubt. II will show its head at the county
primaries. We therefore warn Rspubli-
can voters to soan well the tickets pre-
sented to them for election. Be sure
that you are not voting for a slate.

delegates in the interest Of any other

represents the interests Of the people,
We shall have nominees for the Assem-
bly, and Senate whom va a vote for

reflect Jones. And only such nominees
can be elected on the Republican ticket.
II We wish to gain a legislative victory
We must be honest. there must be no
