Senator Foley rose and said:
Mr.. PRESIDENT l take great
pleasure in placing in nomination
for the distinguished position of
United States Senator, a gentleman
well-known to you all, and to all
the citizens of this State. He has
served us long and we'll he is
above reproach in public and pri-
vate station. He has represented
the people of this State in a man
ner to merit the commentator of
his constituents, and to win the
admiration Of the most august
body in the world, the Senate Of
the United States. In one partic-
ular has his services been of the
greatest, the most paramount i'm
portance and that in his efforts to
preserve the monetary value OF the
great product of our State.
I need not dwell longer, nor pass
further ecomiums upon the gentle
man l have the honor to place in

cumbents. / nominate to succeed
himself, as United States Senator
from the State Of Nevada, the Hon.
John p. Jones.
Senator Parker said that it APP
peared to be fitting that he should
second the nomination of the man
who had so faithfully represented
our interests. 1t seemed to be es-
pecially fitting that representa-
ton of this county should second
the nomination, as it was here that
the only voice of true, full fedged,
yituperating abuse was heaped
upon his head. No man could
have more worthily succeeded the
old war eagle, James W. Nye, than
had John p. Jones. He took
great pleasure in seconding his
nomination.
Senator Poujade said that in
seconding the nomination Of John
p. Jones he only echoed the wish
Of his constituents. He alluded
to his services in behalf Of the
State, and especially on the silver
question, and believed that he
could more thoroughly represent
our interests than any other gen
