When they determined to repeal
the purchase clause of the law of
1890 they ignored for the nonce all
Other:issues, forgot the struggles
and animOsities of a third of CEN
tury, shut their eyes to tariff cam
paigns and to exhausting struggles
with force bills, together with all
the bitterness such occasions re-
call, and joined hands without hesi-
tation for the accomplishment of
their common purpose, not aban-
doning but holding in reserve their
differences. He continues:
''In other words, they forced for
the purpose and for the time a
third party. That purpose accom-
plished they Immediately restored
the statu quo and returned to their
differences. They voted in Con-
gress as one party in their repre-
sentative capacity. We should
vote at the polls as one party in
our individual capacity. All who
believe in the predominence of
monetary reform should, in my
opinion, come together on that
issue, and for the time being hold
in allegiance their convictions upon
other questions-reservingt to them
selves the right to read just their
party relations when the monetary
question is settled and other issues
come to the front. History teaches
that while reforms of a minor
character may be accomplished
through parties formed for the
achievement of other purposes no
question of the first magnitude
no question involving a great fun
damental principle operating in the
interest of the masses of mankind
was ever settled without the crea-
ton of new party to achieve it.
In the immovable conviction that
the progress, prosperity, and hap
piness of not only the people of
Nevada but of those of the entire
country are more Immediately de-
pendent on monetary reform than
upon any other issue that can he
presented for political action l
shall henceforth vote and act with
the party that brings this over
mastering issue to the front"
Yours truly,

SENATOR JONES' LETTER.
The Reasons Why He Leaves The
Republicans and Joins
The Populist.

(Sifted through the Shylock channels of
the Associated Press.)
The following is a synopsis of
Senator Jones letter giving his
reasons why he has left the Repub-
lican party and Joined the Popu-
lists:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 90
To the Hon. Enoch Strother,
Chairman State Central Committee
of Nevada-Dear Sir: Having be-
come fully convinced the Republi-
can party organization is unalter-
ably opposed to the free coinage
of silver at the American ratio of
Is to 1, or at all except with the
consent of foreign governments
and at a ratio to be dictated by
them, l have to announce that |
can no longer act with this party.
Expressions of the regret he
feels at the step followed, he pro-
tests that he ''abates not one iOta
of his conviction with reference to
the benefcent influence of Ameri-
can industries of the policy of pro-
lection. But he thinks protection
will do us no good unless the sup
ply of money is made to keep
pace with the demand. Scarcity
of money is accompanied by an
artificial fall in the price of COM
modities. The Republican party,
he says, has, up to this time, been
moving in the direction of an in
creased currency. But the repeal
of the purchase clause of the
Sherman law was the parting Of
the ways. While the Democrats
must share in the responsibility for
that repeal, it is only the action of
the Republicans with which he is
concerned. The Republican party,
he says, repealed a law of its own
making on the demand of Demo
cratic President.
Senator Jones SCOTS at wnat he
calls the international bimetalists.
A remedy by international confer
ence he pronounces impracticable,
and cites British testimony to up
hold the claim.
The money question, he protests,
is one of these great issues justify
ing q new formation of parties.
If all free silver men voted to-
gether, there is no doubt a free
silver President would be elected
in 1896. 1t can only be done
through new party. The oppo-
nents of silver have pointed out to
us precisely what we ought to do.

Have the Democrats reduced eX-
penses, pa!
No, not much.
Have they any!
No, not cent.
Did they increase them anyl
Yes, they had to issue S5O,OOO,-
600 of bonds.
1t was against the law, too,
wasn't it pa!
Yes, l guess it was.
They reduced the tariff, didn't
theyl
No, not yet.
Are they going tol
Yes, if they can.
What is to hinder majority do
ing what they want to do!
Why the Republicans and few
Democrats in the Senate are deter
mined to keep a protective tariff on
coal, iron, sugar, collars and cuffs.
Do you really think the Demo
Gratis in Congress want to reduce
the tariff!
Yes, of course / do.
Because they say they dol
They said they wanted to repeal
the ten per cent tax on state banks,
too, didn't they, pa!
Why-yes, but
Did the Republicans keep them
from doing that!
Yes, of course they did.
How could they when they only
had 1875 members to the Democrats

Oh-I-mean-that-say go off
now, I'm sick, /
Oh, pa, what is the matter!
Shall / 90 for a doctor!
No, no; / mean, Pm not very
sick-I-
Now, pa, to sum up: The Dem
ocrats have not redeemed any of
their promises. In fact, they have
voted against what they most sol
emnly promised their constituents
they would vote for. Not only
that, they have increasd expenses,
and plunged the country $50, ,OOO,-
600 deeper into debt. They have
extended the time of paying the
whisky tax tc eight years. This is
worth millions to the whisky trust.
Now they are trying to extend fa-
vors to the sugar trust worth tens
of millions of dollars to it, which,
OF course, comes OF the people.
With this kind of record, pa,
how can you vote the Democratic
ticket this fall!
The Republicans are just as bad.
Yes, ! will admit that, but there
is party that is not.
What! do you think I'll vote
with the cranky Populists! .
Why do you think them cranky!
Because / do.
Is that the best reason you can
give!
No; they are anarchists.
How do you know they are!

Oh! you wouldn't be interested
in it. I've been reading about the
platform.
What platform, pa
Why the Democratic platform OF
course.
Are You democrat, pa!
Yes sir.
What kind of a Democrat are
you
Why-a-why, just Democrat,
you run off now, I'm busy.
What is a platform pa I!
Why, it's "a declaration OF
principles.
vat do you mean by that !
Why-ah-it means, or tells rath-
er what we are i'm favor of doing.
Doing, when pa!
When we get to congress.
Are you going to congress pa !
No, no. / mean when our rep
resentatives get there.
What does the platform say pa
Oh, it re-afiirms the platform OF
1892.
What was the platform of 1892
pa
Come, run off and play now I'm
busy.
But, want to know what you
re-affirm.
Well, let me see, well we demand
the free coinage of silver, the abo-
lition of high protective tariff,
the repeal of the ten per cent. tax
on state banks, rigid economy in
public expenditures.
Aren't the Democrats in power
now pas
Yes.
And your platform is going to
be the same again this year as it
was two years agol
Yes.
If you demanded and affirmed
that all those things should be done,
why, when you got in did you not
do them
Oh, well you see it was this way.
We couldn't do it for
Is it fact, pa, sure enough, that
you didn't do any of these things
you promise to do 4!
Well-a-no, not many. There,
run off now my head aches.
Did they vote to repeal the ten
per cent. tax on state banks
No.
Did they vote on it at all
Yes.
And voted it down after promis-
ing the people to repeal it !
Yes.
How did the vote stand pa!
One hundred and two in the
house voted to repeal the tax and
172 voted against it.
Yet the house was democratic by
Sc majority over all 2
Had the people changed their
minds since the election and deci-
ded they didn't want the tax re-
pealed!
No.
And you say, pa, that these dele
gates in congress that were elected
to repeal the 10 per cent. tax, and
that promised faithfully to do SO,
actually voted not to do it when
the time came by 20 majority I!
Yes.

South McAllister, |. H., Nov. 6.-Silas
cr, was shot at Wilburton yesterday by
Sheriff Pursley. The bullet from the
sheriff's Winchester missed the con-
demned mans heart, passing through
the body an inch above the nipple, and
he had to be strangled to end his suf-
ferings. Sheriff Pursley anticipated
trouble having just before the execu-
ton received Il telegram from Lewis
friends threatening vengeance, and
had over 100 heavily armed deputies
at the scene. When he arrived ut the
place of execution, Lewis offered up
a prayer and followed it with a short
talk He then pulled off his coat, vest
