RICHMOND. Va. September 2i.-The ac-
ton of the Post Office Department in
changing the ndnl- OF the post office "Ap-
pcmattox' 10 surrender has raised
storm of disapproval in Virginia, especially
among ex-cUnfrderates. The expression of
Coy. O'Ferrali in opposition to it is fol-
loved by the uttvranceS of numerous other
inen who We're prominent in the late war.
The almost unanimous opiitior. of those
with whom Tn star correspondent talked
Is that the action IF Postn.aStr r General
HiSsch or his -t.1rdiuatca j. aot only an
insult. but a deliberately intended disgrace
10 the people of Virginia and The south.
I8@E 10 not seem t. think that President
Cleveland, in view OF his recognized hon
esty ana fairness, had any hand in the
outrage and L"li-vr that when his official
attention Is called to the matter he viii
prralpJiy yaCate the order.
There is tain of taxing some concerted
action in the matter in order t. secure
name other than Surrender"

ASKED TO RESIGN.
Republicans Of Nevada Call on Sen.
atOr Jones TO Give Up
His Seat,

Carson, New, Sept. Ex-senator Jones
OF Nevada has been requested by the Re
puDllcan state central committee to re-
sign his seat in the United States Senate
to which he was elected by Republicans.
This request is made in a long letter
which was drafted by Chairman Trennor
Coffin and approved by the state central
committee at meeting held in this city.
The letter eXhauStiyely reviews Senator
Jones letter Of August % to the former
chairman of the committee, En0ch
Strother in which Jones announces that
he has left the Republican party to join
the IopullSts and severely criticises MS
course of action. The main points of the
letter are as follows:
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 Republican
you VIII hereafter term yourself d POpuliSt.
Do the shining examples of Populist intiu-
ence conspicuous among others that of your
own colleague), with which yea are day
and hourly confronted In the Senate, Justify
the belief that such a charge will add to
your power as q member OF that bOdyt DO
not the cases of Sumner and Schurz, and
IfulnDull and many others furnish the most
painful reminders that the day upon which
a brilliant and distinguished party leader
breaks away from the organization in which
he mas won all his fame marks the beginning
OF his political decline? Can you reasonably
eApetl inherent result. But by which
mental processes you arrive at the conclu-
sion that the great principle" involved re-
qureS you to part company with the Re
publican party of Nevada your letter Ell
tirely fails to disclose. You cOncede that
we are true to the cause of silver. Then
why do you abandon us? If we are true to
silver why does not devotion to that ''prin-
ciple' of which you write eoquently re-
quire 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 aban-
dOned US! The silver party does not accept
your name while the POpulist party does
not accept your creed, so that upon every
recognized political principle you are liter
ally LETT without party in the state Of
Nevada. The publication Of your letter has
not caused even a WaVer in their ranks,
and no detection of any leader, however
great and distinguished, will cause them to
swerve a hairs breadth from what they be-
lieye to be their duty. In conclusion, we
desire to remind you that you were elected
to the United States Senate a Republican
by the Republican party. In the strictest
sense the office Is a political one and the
Republican party is entitled to representa-
ton for the full term of six years from the
4th of March, 1891. AS you now announce
that you can no longer act with the party
that elected you every consideration of pro-
prlety and delicacy requires you to resign
of Nevada respectfully request you to

pany would oppose the filing of the in
formation with 4 strong legal fight Mr.
Runnels, however, told the court after
Mr.. Moloney had made the request for
the flint of the information that he
would not make any legal objections to
its being filed. He said that he would
enter his appearance instanter to the in
formation if the court would allow him
thirty days In which to answer the infor-
nation, but Attorney Runnels persisted
that he must have sufficient time given
him to fully consider the information and
prepare his defense. Judge Gibbons sug-
gested that twenty days would be ample,
and tho court allowed the defendants this
time, making the answer returnable on
October s. The encouragement filed
