NO LONGER A REPUBLICAN,
Senator Jones OF Nevada Announces That

Senator Jones OF Nevada Announces That
lie is No Longer n Member of the G. y.
PA Sensation in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept. A. Senator John
P. Jones of Nevada. has created de-
cided political sensation by formally
severing his connection with the Repub-
lican party, and in a letter addressed TO
Enoch STROLLER, chairman of the Re.
publican State central committee of
Nevada, gives at great length his reasons
therefor.
These primarily are on account of the
conviction, as the Senator states, that
the Republican party organization is
unalterably opposed to the free coinage
OF silver ut the American ratio of Is to
/, or at all, except with the consent of
foreign governments and at ratio to be
dictated by them.
70 his constituents he explains that
the change in relations between the Re-
publican party and himself is not a
change in him. His conviction regard
ing the beneficial influence in American
industry of the policy of protection is
undated, but the moral and material
progress Of the people, and especially
OF laburing classes, cannot, he is also
convinced, be expected in the absence
of a system that will,admit of the guam
tity of money keeping pace with de-
mand.
This point is emphasized at much
length in the Senator's letter. lie refers
to the constantly increasing population
of the country and argues that it is
necessary that the quantity Of our
money should increase pari passu with
demand. lie had hoped the Republican
party would put up on its banner the
motto of free coinage Of silver and gold
as the long-established American ratio,
and refers to, the country being rele.
gated to single gold standard with all
that that implies of industrial dry rot and
compulsory idleness among the people,
and he says, while it is true the Demo.
cratic party must share with the Re.
publicGns the responsibility for that act,
he is only concerned with the share
taken therein by the party to the success
of whose policies he has devoted the
best years Of his life, and says ITO my
profound regret cannot longer be Of
the household of the party which
brought freedom to the slave and pre-
served the union of the States. The
great party which could uniiiuchingly
face the slave power does not dare at
tack the money power"
