The SLIDER Slate, treating OF Senator
Jones and the demonstration in his honor
At wipnemucca, has the following:
Ho originated tho bill for the renoneti-
cation Of silver, which, by q trick OF Sher-
man and. other tools OF the gold brokers
ana money lenders Of the Eastern States
and Europe, was demonetized in 1878.
His party called this characterization act a
mistake, but refused to rectify it, and he
alone Of the majority Of the Senate, devo-
ted his time, his money and his whole en-
ergy to the task, until after four years
hard work he succeeded in changing the
opinions Of sufficient Republican Senators
70 pass the bill, with the Democratic mi
nority, over the Presidents veto. But, as
tho senator stated yesterday, half has not
been done that can be don toward restor-
ing silver to its old standard, and no will
again be heard from on that issue. To say
that . man who has lone so much and
tried TO do much more for the leading in
dustry of the State 1.-THE present Silver bill
is not satisfactory to him), is not deserv-
ing Of the support Of the whole people Of
Nevada, is but to prove the adage that
Republics are ungrateful."
The Siirer State suggested some time
since that the Democrats endorse j. P.
Jones for reelection upon the condition
that the Republicans demand the resigna-
ton Of Sharon. With few exceptions, SO
far as heard from, the idea has been re-
ceived with favor. There is no good rca-
Son why William Sharon, who has not been
Congress, should, without protest from
those who are responsible for his election,
be permitted to occupy a P position which he
does not attempt to fill. On the other
hand, j. P. Jones is not a ''bloody shirt
Republican, and as Senator has not been
an extreme partisan. Under these circum-
stances party managers will incur no risk
Of making themselves unpopular with the
people by ~embodying the above suggestions
In their respective platforms.
Our Humboldt contemporary commits
an error when it styles Senator Jones the
originator Of the Silver bill. 1t was the
Bland bill all the way through, and first
passed the House three years ago.. That
Mr.. Jones was tho leading advocate Of the
measure in the Senate no one will deny,
and that he is deserving of the highest
need Of praise, and the highest honors at
the hands Of the people of Nevada, is GER
tainly not saying too much in his behalf.
But the suggestion Of the Silper Slate that
the resignation Of Mr.. Sharon be demanded,
to the end that Mr.. Jones and a Democrat
may be elected by the incoming Legisla-
lature, Is hardly practicable. The surren-
der Of the Democracy to Jones does no
necessarily make certain the surrender of
Sharon to the Democracy. There can be
no safety to Democrats in this programme,
unless Sharon can be induced to first re-
sign. Will he do it? He says not, unless
the Senate be Republican. This settles
the whole business of the non-partisan
millennium in Nevada in 1878. But there
is one aspect of the case, we think, upon
which Jones may safely rely. If the Leg
lature should be Republican, neither Ne
sick nor Seeley nor any n else could pos
sibly defeat him. Democratic members,
. = rule. would prefer Jones to any other
Republican in the State.
