SENATOR JONES RECEIVES DEMO
CEA|IC ENDORSEMENT.

We ind the following notable article in the
.",iver STAT Of July 20:
Senator John T. Jones passed here ycster-
lay on his way from Washington to Ills home
ou the ComstOck. He was enthusiastically re-
caived by the people OF Ninnemucca, who, If
respective of party, united in demonstrating
cheir approval of his services as Senator. 1t is
ont simple Justice to the man to say that he
~ the only Senator ever elected Ill Nevada
Who faithfully represented the interests of his
constituents in the halls of Congress. He
originated the bill for the RECOMMENDATION of
silver, which, by a trick of Sherman and other
tools of the gold brokers and money lenders
~ the Eastern States and Europe, was de
,1onetized in 1873. His party called this de
ronetIzatlon act a mistake, but refused to rec
tlfy it, and he alone of the majority of the
Senate, devoted his time, his money and his
Waole energy to the task, until after four
cars hard work he succeeded in changing
1Ap opinions of sufficient Republican Senators
g. pass the bill, with the Democratic minority
Ger the Presidents veto. But, as the Sena-
tor stated yesterday, half has not been done
Lat can be done toward restoring silver to its
I'd standard, and he will again be heard from
~ that ISSUE. To say that a man who has
II me SO much and tried to do much more for
tAe leading industry of the State, tthe present
silver bill Is not satisfactory to hun) is not de
serving of the support of the whole people of
Nevada, Is but to prove the adage that Re
'uhics are unGrateful
The Silver State suggested some time since
that the Democrats endorse j. p. Jones for
reelection upon the condition that the Kepub-
loans demand the resignation Of Sharon.
Wlth few EXCEPTIONS SO far as heard from. the
.,,.A has been received with favor There is
10 good reason why William Sharon, who re-
,il IS in San Francisco, and has not been i'll
~ ashngton during the last session of Con
Grrss should, without protest from those who
zee responsible for his election, be permitted
10 occupy position which he does not at
tempt to FL On the other hand, j. +. Jones
- rb5a .'blrody. shirt Republican, and as
Senator has not been an extreme partisan.
Ul4er thesr circumstances party managers
will incur no risk az making themselves I'M
populac with The people by ernbodying the
Above suggestions IN thor respective plat
tu4vI5.
Concerning Senator sharon it ia to he sal!
t'lr there - little doubt that if his business
OWN III Is largely related +" the adjustment Of
Il .tiairs Of the late William C. Raston), is
So situated as to demand his continued alb
acr.ae from Washington, he will probably re
sieu provided the next Legislature shall be
prepared to fill the vacancy thus caused, with
a !:,pubhcau. Doubtless he will be loyal
cmouGh to his party to reserve this condition.
Tl.o endorsement of Senator Jones by the Sill
yer State is in ali respects well merited. But
the condition demanded would seem to be i'll
J,,r nature of one of those bargains which are
regarded as political misdemeanors. Neither
Mr.. Sharon nor Mr. Jones nor the friends of
~,.ner. nor yet the representatives of either
q, the political parties of our State has a right
t. nlahe political trade of the character in
d;clted. The Republican party has right
f" senator Jones participation Ill the pending
political canvass; and, the Silver State to the
contrary notwithstanding, John T. Jones is
thoroughbred, hearty. and if need be, aggres
.i.ye Republican of the true-blue, unhinching
sort He will not be neutralized by any such
sop as that thrown by our Winaemucca con-
mporary.
