ASKED TO RESIGN.
Nevada Republicans Have Hat
Enough of Senator Jones.


Enough of Senator Jones.
CARSON, New, Sept. 17.-Senator John
p. Jones, of Nevada, has been requested
by the Republican, central committee to re-
sign his seat in the United States Senate,
to which he was elected by Republicans.
This request is made in long letter which
was drafted by Chairman Trenner Coffin
and approved by the State central commit
tee at a meeting held in this city. The let
ter exhaustively reviews Senator Jones's
letter of Aug. 20 to the former chairman of
the committee, Enoch Strother, in which
Jones announces that he has left the Re-
publican party to join the Populists and
severely criticises his course of action
The main points of the letter are as fol-
lows:
''You say that you have not changed
your principles-well and good. Then it
follows that you have merely changed
your name and, instead of calling yourself
a Republican, you will hereafter term your
self a Populist. Do the shining examples
of Populist influence conspicuous among
which you are daily and hourly confronted
In the Senate justify the belief that such
change will add TO your prestige and power
as member of that body? Do not the
cases of Sumner, and Schurz, and Trumbull
and many others furnish the most painful
reminders that the day upon which the
breaks away from the organization in
which he has won all his fame marks the
beginning of his political decline? Can you
reasonably expect a different result? But
by what mental processes you arrive at
the conclusion that the great principle
involved requires you to part company
with the Republican party CT Nevada your
letter entirely fails to disclose. You con-
cede that We are true to the cause of sill
ver Then why do you, abandon us? If
we are true to silver, why does not deyo-
ton TO that principle of which you write
SO eloquently require you TO remain true
to us? Not only have we been true TO the
cause of silver, but we have been true to
every other great principle that you hold
dear; and more than ALL We have been
fidelity itself to you. Then, we ask again.
why have you abandoned us?
"The silver party does not accept your
name, while the Populist party does not
accept your creed, so that upon every rec
ognized political principle you are literally
left without party in the State of Nevada
The publication of your letter has not
caused even a waver in the ranks. and no
detection of any leader, however great and
hairs breadth from that which they be-
lieve to be their duty.
I'm conclusion, desire to remind Won
that you were elected to the United States
Senate as Republican by the Republican
party. In the strictest sense the Office is a
political one, and the Republican party Is
entitled to representation for the full term
AS you now announce that you can no
longer act with the party that elected
you, every consideration of propriety and
delicacy requires you to resign In the
name of the Republican party of Nevada,
we respectfully request you to do so."

man OF the State committee or the Amer

Ever since the campaign opened here the

The Republican Programme.

WASHINGTON, August 16.--The re-
publican steering committee to-day
decided to support motion to refer
the four supplemental tariff bills to the
Finance Committee and seek to
amend in various ways, the principal
amendment being for the repeal of
the tariff bill just passed. They count
upon the votes of Hill, Caffrey,
Blanchard, Allen and Kyle. If the
repeal amendment should fail they
would seek to substitute a bounty
provision for the pending bill for free
sugar, and would expect to secure the
votes of these five Senators, except
Hill,
They will also offer numerous other
amendments in certain contingenci es
including one for duty on wool.
They admit the sugar bill should
pass with an amendment providing
either for a bounty or for the repeal of
the main bill. The House probably
would refuse to accept it, and it most
likely would fail in conference, but
they claim the Senate, especially the
Republican Senators, would not be
responsible for that result.

Texas Democrats.

DALLAS (Tex.l August 16.- At l
o'clock this morning the Cleveland
Democracy, headed by George Clark,
jumped into the saddle in Texas aud
rode over the free silver 16 to ratio
by vote ot 451 to 415. The platform
presented by the. minority was adopt
ed. Had the majority free silver ra-
ito of Is to l report been adopted
there is probability that the straight
out Cleveland men would have bolted
the convention. 1t is said that many
free silver men voted against their
convictions in the interest of harmony.
When the convention assembled at
1:3O to-day Chairman. Hambley read
a letter from John II. Reagan with
drawing from the race for Governor,
declaring he had made his canvass on
the issue of free silver at ratio of 16
to l, and he would not accept the
nomination on the platform adopted
if given him. He said, however, he
would support the ticket that shall be
nominated.
The convention proceeded to nomi-
nations for Governor. At the begin
ming of the first ballot John d. Nc
Call withdrew, leaving the race be-
tween Culberson and Lanhan. Rea
gan's forces were largely thrown to
Culberson, and when he had received
over 500 votes, Lanhan's name was
withdrawn. Culberson was nominal
ed by acclamation.

The bouncing of Father Scott
from the humble position of grave
digger and substituting white men
in his stead, seems to us at a dis
lance, to be a shame. For more
than 20 years Father Scott has ac-
ceptably done that service for the
city and now to cast him forth,
when he is as much able to do it as
before, merits the disapproval of a
generous public. Who is respon-
sible?
The race problem is tho chestnut
bur which has baffled the fingers
of much philosophy, the reef
against which the ship of state has
often ground, the thorn which per-
sists in the nations side and the
bone of contention which has pre-
cipitated many neighborly scraps.
The true key. the Eureka, seems
vet undiscovered. The greatest
