JONESS GAGE OF BATTLE,
THE LIEUTENANT-GovERN WILL OPPOSE
THE SARATOGA TICKET
he WILL NOT SUBMIT QUIETLY TO THE UsURPERs
WHO CONTROL HIS PARTY-AN ANNOUNCE
MENT FULL OF FIGHT.

NEWT FULL OF FIGHT.
Binghamton, n. Y, Sept. lin response to
inquiries as 10 his position regarding the Demo-
cratic ticket, Lieutenant-Govenor Jones to-day
prepared the following for the Associated Press,
but he declines to specify just what steps he
proposes to take to accomplish his declared pur-
pose
Being requested by the press to announce my
intentions relating to the nominations Of the
Saratoga Convention, would say that my pohtl-
cal action has always been controlled by my
sense of duty as a citizen, never recognizing con-
iicting party obligations.
Believing, in this instance, that not only have
the interests of the people been sacrificed, but the
existence OF the Democratic party Ieopardized ;
for, behind the nominations, and in absolute con-
trol of the party, are men whose every sentiment
of patriotism is subject either to their personal
ambition or their selfish greed, and the administra-
ton of public affairs shaped to perpetuac their
rule.
So complete is the power Of these men, and so
dictatOral have they become, that members of
the party are but serfs so far es political action
is concerned
Continued subservience but makes the condition
too degrading 70 be quietly borne by American
citizens. There is but one way to disodge these
usurpers. The temporary defeat of the party will
be harmless compared with the effects of their
control.
For the welfare of the State, and in the in
terest of the Democratic party. to me my duty
appears clear, which is, to oppose the election Of
the nominees of the Saratoga Convention to such
extent as may be within my power, and in such
manner as may seem best TO accomplish that pur-
pose. EDWARD f. JONES"
