George Jones Detects Bill Chandler
in Political Villalny.


For week or more the gravity OF all citl
xens who were old enough in 1876 to read
tho newspapers has been disturbed by the
furious assaults Of Mr.. GEORGE JONES upon
the character OF the Hon. WILLIAM E.
CHANDLER OF New Hampshire. Mr. JONES
regards Mr.. CHANDLER as very bold and
very unscrupulous man. willing to go to
almost any extreme Of wickedness for the
sake Of political advantage.
On Tuesday Of last week Mr.. GEORGE
JONES, In his newspaper. the Ne,D York
Times exposed in big black headlines
"CHANDLER's Plan of Theft" The rascally
scheme to steal the control OF the New
Hampshire Legislature. remarked Mr..
JONES. "is evidently CHANDLER's own
work." On Wednesday Mr.. JONES returned
to the subject, and accused CHANDLER OF
being the head devil in conspiracy to de-
fraud the people Of New Hampshire Of their
constitutional rights. On Thursday Mr..
JoNEs's headlines were again aimed at
"CHANDLER's Brazen Scheme" On Friday
Mr.. JONES reported Mr.. CHANDLER as COM
planning bitterly to his fellow conspirators
and subordinates that he was not properly
sustained by the party In his villainous at
tempt ITO thwart the will Of the people
to insure It's retention In power" On the
same day Mr.. JONES editorialiy denounced
MIR. CHANDLER and his friends" as "the
parties who are trying to steal the State Of
Now Hampshire and to defeat the will Of the
people," On Saturday "CHANDLER's Dirty
Politics was the theme OF Mr.. JoNEs's most
vehement rhetoric. The conspiracy :" was
again exposed. Even the holy calm Of the
Sabbath morning found Mr.. JONES still ex-
cited over the successful accomplishment of
what he called the first act Of CHANDLER's
conspiracy against the people OF New Hamp-
shire" III the Republican majority of the
present body" remarked Mr.. JONES to his
Mugwump audience at the Sunday break
fast table, should prove to be entirely SUBJ
servient to CHANDLER and his associates, it
will have no difficulty In usurping tempora-
rily the rights OF the coming Legislature
and judging OF the election and return OF its
members in advance"
This is good weeks work for JONES in the
way OF exposing and denouncing proposed
conspiracy to defeat by infamous intrigue
the will Of the people as registered at the
polls. Nothing that JONES has said OF
CHANDLER's wicked abilities in that direc-
ton Is too severe. JONKs's estimate Of
CHANDLER's political villainy is not n
particle exaggerated. CHANDLER has been
engaged In bigger jobs OF the same sort.
Why. this CHANDLER who Is now trying
to steal the State OF New Hampshire for the
benefit OF the Republican party is the same
WILLIAM Z. CHANDLER that conceived and.
with the active cooperation OF certain
GEORGE JONES OF Printing House square. In
augurated the successful plot to steal the
Government OF tho United States and TO de-
fraud the people OF the whole nation Of their
right to elect President by u majority OF
votes. This is the same WILLIAM Z. CHAN
DLER who in the dismal dawn OF the morning
after the election Of 1876 communicated to a
certain GEORGE JONES OF tho New York Times
the idea of asserting upon his bulletin board.
In the face OF the facts, that the Repub-
licans had carried Louisiana and Florida
for HAYES as q basis for the fabric OF
perjury. forgery. and wholesale fraud which
CHANDLER and q certain GEORGE JONES
worked like desperadoes to carry out a little
later. It was this CHANDLER that gave tho
tip to JONES concerning the greatest politi-
cal conspiracy that the world has ever seen.
CHANDLER and JONES assisted In company
ut the birth OF that monstrous outrage on
truth. justice, and right.
We recall tho fact that some years after
the contamination OF the JoNEs-CHANpLER
conspiracy to defeat the will OF the people.
JONES quarrelled with CHANDLER over the
question OF their respective claims to the
infamy Of having originated the conspiracy
OF 1876. JONES was jealous OF CHANDLER
He thought that the New Hampshire states.
man was getting little too much credit for
the shame Of the initiative: and So through
the Nev York Times, he put In his
own claim to be considered the great and
only original Fraud-plotter. at the same
time representing CHANDLER as q casus
assistant and unimportant subordinate tc
JONES in the conspiracy to steal Louisiana
and Florida. But this little falling out II
seems. has not blinded JONES to CHANDLER's
real abilities as thief OF States He Is
now giving him full credit for diabolioal In
genuity and capacity In that line.
These circumstance lend peculiar interes
TO Mr.. GEORGE JoNEs's present denuncis
