The Position OF Senator John r. Jones
SAN Francisco, September 29th.- The
New York World yesterday published dis
patch from Washington, stating, among other
things, that Jones of Nevada had written
letter renouncing Republicanism. The
public naturally attribute it to United Sena-
tor j ohm P. Jones, and it is assumed by the
Senator that it is intended for him. In an
interview on the subject to-day, that gentle
man, who Is Low in this city, very emphati-
cally declares that if the New York World
means to say that any such letter has been
written by him, the statement is unqualifedly
false. He has not for many weeks written
any letter in which politics has been men
toned. 81 did favor" said the Senator,
1.-THE nomination of General Grant TOR the
Presidency by the Chicago Convention, but
when the Convention decided the question by
nominating Garfield. Mr.. Garfield became
my choice, and / regard him as eminently
fitted for the position. And" continued the
Senator, with emphasis, there has been no
election since that time when the Democratic
party in 1861 resolved itself into the rebel
army, more important than the present one
none in which the success of the Republican
party was of greater importance to the welfare
of the country" On the subject Of the status
of the State of Nevada in the coming Presi-
Dental struggle, Mr.. Jones said f" have no
doubt Nevada will cast her electoral vote for
the Republican nominees" Referring to the
allusion made in the IF0rld's letter to his
preference for United States Senator to be
chosen by the next Legislature of Nevada,
Mr.. Jones said $50 far as the Senatorial
controversy is concerned, the stupidity of the
letter is manifest for it was not known until
within day or two ago that Fair would be
candidate and we have not yet positive as
surance that Mr.. Sharon is a candidate for
denomination" The Nevada Legislature
consists of seventy-four members. OF that
number there are at present twelve or thir-
teen hold-over Republican Senators, and MIR.
Jones believes that a sufficient number of Re-
publicans will be elected to make up the num-
ber necessary to elect Republican Senator.
Obsequies OF the Late Mr. Clancy -some-
thing About His Murderer. and why he
was Denounced.
SANTA BARBARA, September 29th.-Serv-
ices over the remains of Theodore Clancy
were held this afternoon at the Presby-
terian Church. More than thousand people
attended. All the local clergymen took part
in the exercises. which were very affecting
and impressive. A procession was formed,
be taken to San Francisco by the Orizaba to-
morrow morning. All the stores and places
of business were closed, flags at half-mast,
and sadness and gloom pervaded the whole
city.
The following appears in the Press of to-
day, entitled "The Cause" :" AS there
may be some doubt about the reasons
Clancy had for denouncing the candidate of
the Republican party for District Attorney,
Al foIlo ofa ka,, tan
years ago man about thirty years of age
came into this place under the name of
Clarence Gray, and soon after obtained sit
uation as deputy in the Office of our County
Clerk. After serving there for year or two
he commenced practice as an attorney in the
Police and Justice Courts, and subsequently
was admitted to the higher Courts of the
State. About fve years since he attempted
to be elected District Attorney by running
independently for that Office, but was de-
feated Having represented himself as q
siugle man, he succeeded in gaining the affec
tions of an amiable young lady of this city,
and they were united in marriage. 1t was
not long, however, before he was recognized
on the streets by visitors travelling here as
married man formerly residing 10
Pottsville, Pa, and a refugee from
justice, by the name of Patrick McGinnis.
His subsequent family relations We pass in
silence, DuC nus BeuSTdl OeiuSauOr we Cldllu as
Just matter of criticism. According to his
own statements-and we think the records of
the Courts will substantiate the same-he
has been arraigned and tried for misdemeanor
thirteen times since his advent here. During
that time, in drunken brawls in saloons apd
other places, he has at least dozen times
drawn his revolver on as many individuals
and commanded them what they should or
should not do. and in several instances shots
have been exchanged, but until in the case of
Clancy without effect Times without num-
ber he has on the slightest provoca.
ton, and frequently without any provo
cation at all: opened his mouth, and with.
out regard to truth or decency, given vent
to the vilest billingsgate and vituperation,
with no regard to age, sex or condition. he
has even invaded the sacred precincts of the
church. and with his revolver beat and
pounded an aged and infrm Catholic priest
over the head and felled him to the floor,
badly wounded. While the majority of this
community are law-abiding citizens, and abb
hor such character, it has been a vieilant
task to keep him from obtaining an official
position, as he has been able to draw come
good and unthinking men to his assistance,
while all the vile and low naturally go there.
These are the reasons why the late editor
considered it his duty to denounce the nom-
ination."
