SAM JONES.

SAM JONES.
OF Sam Jones much has been
and more will be written. He is a
man of genius. In manner anil
method he Is the one representa-
tive of the race. There never was
another like him, and his genera
tion will cease with the end of his
days. Rarely, wonderfully endow-
ed, he has come to the kingdom fol
such a time as this. We sat under
the spell Of his power, and tried to
study the secret of his marvellous
success.
This must be borne in mind-the
ordinary newspaper reports OF his
sermons and sayings convey a very
inadequate idea of the man. One
must see and hear him to discover
and admire his genius. 1t is the
man, back of his brilliant and bit
ing sayings, that charms aud con.
vincCs. From reading the papers
the conclusion is naturally drawn
that he is merely satirical dclinca
tor Of character, a fierce dcnunclatoI

ing so to be. He is a perfect actor
without the slightest suggestion OF
attempting histrionic effect. His
entire naluralness and equiVoise i'm
press his audiences with the assur
ance of an cXhaustless reserve
power. This keys and keeps "
expectation until the last syllable
has been uttered, and, though an
hour and a half passed, there is
ploasurahle disappointment that the
discourse is so short This makes
the crowd eager to come again. His
most enthusiastic hearers were
those who heard often. They were
sure Of something better next time
There was no indication of exhaust
ell forces and resources.
Wilhal he is q man Of sincere
simple picty. The zeal of his Di-
vine commission consumes him. He
is bent on glorious toil--thc wise
winning OF souls. To arrest the
Maynard, to convince the doubling
to unlnask the seltrighteous, It
alarm the uncOncerned, to arouse
those at ease in Zion, and establish
the sincere in the faith, command
his every faculty of mind anf
energy of soul. Not for fame, but
from the constraint of Christ's love
does he labor Though lie de
nounces sin with sublime audacity
he yet manitests the yearning ten
delness of a loving friend. He uses
ridicule for the Masters sake.
sam Jones has the genius Of com
mon sense. His dircernment o
character is wonderful and almos
unctr;ng. This makes him master
of assemblies. He knows what t.
say, and when and how to say it, il
order to the accomplishment Of The
greatest good. He is seemingly
never emb,rrasse or ahashel.-

Give Us a Short Canvass.

As the Democratic Congressional
Executive Committee will meet il
Jackson next Tuesday, for the cvi
dent purpose of calling nominal
ing convention, we here respectfully
venture the suggestion that the con.
vention be called for as late q day
as possible. The only contest will
be before the meeting of the con.
vcntion, and all candidates should
have an opportunity to submit then
claims to the masses before the
assembling of the county conven
tions. Besides, situated as the
Democratic party is in our District,
there Will probably be no opposition
to the nominee, and long canvass
is therefore useless.

THE joint-discussion between Messrs H. k Jefords and Cameron H. King. al the lstter's very indisorset challenge was held on Church plaza in this city on Monday night. before an immense gathering of people. The general re- suit of the whole discussion was just as might have been expected from the nature of the subject. aud the facts supporting it. The verdict Of the peo- pie who patiently listened to both speakers. was that MT. King WIS too deep in the mire to make a single fs- vorable point. while Mir. JeiTords metephoricslly swept the floor with him In a manner that pleased the people and added to the deep disc1mfiture of the writhlng victim. Mir. King consumed nearly all the time allowed him in opening the deblte in a wandering, illogical harangue of seDile buncome. interspersed with very bad "chestnuts," 1" and finally devoted but D very few min Q utes to the sut ject matter of the dis cussion. These few minutes were suiii- ciently ionR. howeve-, to demonstrate that he had s bad case and had shown equally bad taste in parading bis indis- cretions before the public. The reply by Mir. JeffJrds was a continuous flow oi courteous orstory. h ,shing with gems of eloquence; rIppling with the laugh ing music of anecdote and terrible with Ig-isive thrus.s of the most pene- iratiDg sarcasm. For more than an hour he kept the audience enraptured by his skillful unfolding Of the petals of truth, showing the hideous distortions attempted by the opposition. until bis time limit cut of anything further that might have been said, if that was even necessary, to convince every reasonable or rational person that he had vsnquish- ed all the assumptions of his antagon- ist aud was c'esrly the acknowledged victor. When Mr. King began hIs clos Ipg remarks and made such s very poor and bungling effort to controvert the irresistible logi. of Mir. JeffJrds, it be- came evident that he was making s desperate struggle in the dsrk, md h!s friends in the audience were chsgrined, mortified and diseusted, and many Of them have sincs acknowledged ther satisfaction of the truth as shown go cle4riy by Mir. JefTJrds. The disgusted democrats at last turned away ID dis may and silently stole oul oi the sound of the voice of their candidate for dis trict attorney. thoroughly dispirited and dishesrtened .t the pueTile exhibi- ton made by tbeir pet candidate.

THE democrats claim that they intend to make the integrity of the ballot box the issue of the present campaign. This IS, indeed Imaginable. The ghost of San Simon and the cherubim Of Tspqus Verde are still twanging their demUcrs- tic tyres and the tiukling cymbol imagines it is drowning their iniqmtous vibrations by its solemn rattle. Ballot box integrity is a new revelation to the democrats of Pima county, and 1t has certainly gotten into bad company. for it will be crucifed before is outgrows it's swsddling clothes, Why. every crime committed against the purity of the ballot box in this county can be traced squarely up to democrats, and it is particularly noticeable that their most ssnctimonicus professions of pro- lection of the rights of the people and the purity of the ballot are made to cover some disbolicsl outrage upon both
