ASKED TO RESIGN.
senator Jones Requested to Give I'm
His Seat.


CARSON, New, September Ex-senator
John p. Jones of Nevada has been re-
Quested by the republican state central
committee II resign 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 I'm this
city. The letter eXhaustively reviews Sena-
tor Jones' letter of August 20 to the former
chairman of the committee, Enoch Strother
in which Jones announces that he has left
the republican party TO join the populsts
and severely cTiticises 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 yourself populist
Do the shining examples of populist infiu-
ence conspicuous among Others that Of
your own coleague), with whom you are
daily and hourly confronted in the Senate
justify the belief that such change will
add to your prestige ana power as a men,
ter of that body? DO not the cases of
Sumner and Schurz, and Trumbull, ana
many others furnish the most painful re-
rninders that the day upon which a bril-
liant and distinguished party leader breaks
away from the organization in which he
has won all his fame marks the beginning
of his political decline? Can you reason
ably 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 WINNING CANDIDATE.
What Well-knOwn kentuckian
Says of Mr.. Owens.


A well-known Kentuckian in the Treasury
Department said to a Star reporter today
that Mr.. Owens, who promises to succeed
Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky in the next
House. will be credit to the district which
he will represent. Mr.. Owens although not
above forty years of age. has been in public
life for about fifteen years, and his ex-
perience will equip him for the position to
which he will doubtless be elected He
served several terms in tile Kentucky legis-
representatives. During his service in that
body. he earned the reputation of being a
most skillful parliamentarian.
He is a lawyer of some ability, although
in later years he has paid nor. attention
to politics than to the legal profession. He
is a good talker although he could not be
called a brilliant orator, but possesses the
ability at any rate t. make good speech,
and moreover he is man of fine ply sical
presence.
The ru,nor teleGraphed from Kentucky
that Mr.. BreCkinridge would resign his
seat in Congress at once is not believed in
this city. Persons who are we'll informed
say that Mr.. Breckenridge would not do
that for several reasons, and one of the
principal ones is because he cannot
afford to. He needs the salary which will
term. Moreover, they assert, that he is
not the kind of a man TO throw up a good
thing IN a hurry, and that as long as he
has stuck 1t out this far he will be pretty
sure to hang on to his berth to the last
minute.

THE KNOTTY TARIFF LAW.
The Reason Given Why Secretar,
Carlisle VIII Not Take n Vacation.

The Reason Given Why Secretary
Carlisle Will Not Take a Vacation.
1t was generally rumored today that Sec
retary Carlisle was about to leave the city
for a few weeks vacation and that Secre-
tary Gresham had returned to the city in
order that he might do so. The report is
based on the theory that 1t had been ar
ranged that there should be at least one
membec Of the cabinet in the city at all
times during the congressional recess. Sec
retary Gresham's familiarity with the Pres
ident's ideas in regard to the tariff law
made 1t natural that he should take Secre-
tary Carlisle's place in the present i'm
portant crisis in the administration Of that
law. Either Assistant Secretary Curtis or
Assistant Secretary Hamlin was to act as
secretary in the absence Of Mr.. Carlisle,
but was not to act finally on any important
question of administration without the ap-
proval Of Secretary Gresham. That Is the
way the story ran. but 1t Is based alto
gether on false premises. Inaslnuch as
Secretary Carlisle does not propose to take
any vacation and will not be away more
than two or three days at time, 1t will
not be at all necessary for Secretary
Gresham or any one else to superint tend the
business of the Treasury Department Mr..
Carlisle finds himself too busy untying the
knots in the tariff law to even think of
taking a vacation. At least, 1t Is SO stated
at the Treasury Department.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
Both Committees Deeply Interested I'm
the Situation

both Committees Deeply Interested I'm
the Situation.
Both political committees here are deeply
interested in the peculiar situation in New
YORK state. The fight there is regarded as
the most important as relating to the next
presidential election of all the contests of
this fall The indications in this morning.
dispatches that the republican nomination
VIII be made at the dictation of Tom Platt
are unsatisfactory to republicans who are
interested In the party as a national or
sanlzation. 1t is not that there is any
particular objection to Mr. Morton, but the
fact that IL nominated he would be recog-
nized as Platts man. and this would
weaken an otherwise strong candidacy.
Democrats Anxious.
The democrats who are watching over
the interests of their party are very anxious
about New York. The fight by independent
democrats against Tammany is no new
thing-it occurs at every election. This
time, however, IT is suspected that Tam
many may be willing to be defeated as TO
the nomination for governor, with the ex-
pectation that the nominee may be defeated
for election. At present the general outlook
is for the nomination of Flower 1t is an
open secret that the other wing of the party
want Lamont as a candidate.
Flower May Decline.
The intimation comes from q source
where Information as to Tammany's plans
often first settles that when II is demon
strated that Gov. Flower can have the re-
nomination IL he wants II. he will decline.
What is to happen after that is left to sur
mise but II is very sagely suggested that
II a republican is to be elected governor this
fall the administration men may have the
democratic nomination.

Republicans Are Keeping a Watch
full Eye on the State.
HOPES OF SECURING THE DELEGATION
Will Make a Vigorous Fight in the
Campaign.
PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS

The republican party organization Is
keeping a very watchful eye upon Louis
fsna. The Louisiana delegation in the next
Congress may find itself seated on the re-
publican side Of the House. The outlook
for such a contingency Is very promisr g..
1t Is said.
At this particular moment the party Or
ganization is said to be taking q passive
part in Louisiana affairs. for such is the
best policy at this juncture Louisiana is
now in the act of falling out with her first
and best love. the democracy as every
one knows. Louisiana asserts that she has
been badly treated and threatens to throw
off her allegiance and espouse another.
A Family Row.
At present it is in the nature Of a family
row, and the republicans are keeping in
the background to some extent. When the
open rupture comes they will step forward
ard politely offer an arm to Louisiana to
escort her into the republican household.
Inasmuch as the movement to come over
to the republicans was a spontaneous one
on the part of the democrats themselves
the party organization has resolved to let
that movement develop to its fullest extent
before interfering in an open and marked
manner. When it mas reached a stage
where it needs encouragement the republi-
can organization will be ready to take
hold vigorously. Campaign orators and
campaign iterture will be furnished IN
profusion and steps toward that end are
now being taken.
Republicans VIII Make a Big Effort.
1t can readily be seen that it will pay the
republicans to make the most strenuous ex-
ertions in Louisiana in this campaign. To
cut out that state from the solid south and
swing it into the republican line would be
an achievement worthy Of almost any effort
or sacrifice. The gain Of one southern dele
CATION for the republicans would mean a
great deal in case the presidential election
should be thrown into the next House. 1t
will not be necessary to carry the entire
congressional delegation in order to make
louisiana count for the republicans in the
event Of the election of the President by the
House. If they can elect four republican
Corgressmen Louisiana would vote for the
republican presidential candidate. If they
elect three Congressman they would at least
succeed in losing the state to the demo-
cratic candidate, for no vote could be cast by
the state.
Foundation for Good Work.
In the second congressional district there
Is always a fight for supremacy. 1t was re-
publican in 1884 and 1883, and even in the
great democratic tidal wave Of 1872 the re-
publcans made q good fight. Other dis
tricts in the state furnish substantial
foundation for republican work under ordi-
nary condtiors, and in the present state of
dissatisfaction among the democrats, of
course, adds immeasurably to the prospects
and hopes Tor the party all over the state.

Breckinridge Has Not Decided Upon
a Contest.
HIS ACTION DEPENDING ON EVENTS
Charges Of Padding the Vote fo
Owens.
HUNTING FOR PROOF OF II

LEXINGTON, KY, September 1.-THE
Breckenridge forces are hurrying messen-
gers to all parts of the Ashland district to-
day to secure evidence upon which to base
contest Stress is laid upon the fact
that Owens home county Of Scott,
which gave him LOO plurality, shows an
Increase of Gil over the democratic vote
in 1892, and Franklin county, which Owens
carried by 521, shows an increase of 691,
almost 30 1-3 per cent in each county. The
other six counties show from to 20 per
cent increase.
The Breckenridge men refuse to give out
figures but say their advices from every
precinct give Owens only 16 on the face
Of the returns. Desha Breckinridge, ]. c.
Rogers and ]. c. Bullock have gone to
Scott county to get affidavits and to in
Vestigate the report that two precincts polls
were kept open one hour longer than the
law allows. and this will be one of the
grounds of contest.
The Owens men have every precinct in
the district, and insist 3O6 plurality.
They are sending men to watch Breckin-
ridge messengers, and claim to be able to
prove gross frauds in Lexington that will
give abundant grounds for retaliatory con-
test.
No ManifestO Issued.
Moses Kaufman, president of city coun-
Gil, and Breckinridge's closest lieutenant,
told the Associated Press correspondent at
noon that Col. Breckinridge had issued no
manifesto or official notice of contest, and
was waiting for exact returns and informa-
tion from all the counties before deciding
On a course of action. Mr.. kaufman said
that some of Breckinridge's friends now
figured Owens plurality on the face of the
returns at seventy-eight. but the accepted
figures were still 100. Well-posted Breck-
ipridge leaders say if official returns, when
canvasSed by county commissioners, re-
duce Owens plurality to close figures, say
in the neighborhood Of 100, then Brcckin-
ridge will institute a contest when the dis
trict committee meets at Frankfort next
Saturday, and will seek to throw out GER
tain precincts on the ground of Irregular
;ties, or have certain votes rejected on the
ground of fraud.
Claim of Illegal Votes.
CINCINNATI. Ohio, September ia
lexington KY, special says:
Breckinridge will contest, and has al
ready sent letters to the committeeman In
| the eight counties notifying them of his
purpose. The Breckinridge men have
majority Of the district committee. which
is the returning board, and declares official
ly who is the nominee on the primary re-
turns. 1t is claimed by Breckenridge men
that enough ;llegal votes were cast Satur-
day to overcome the small plurality OF
Owens.
Col. Barney Treacey, president OF the
Owens Club, claims that his man has
clear lead of 400 over the silver-tongued
orator, and that he is in no way sfraid that
Owens will lose the race. He says that
Owens could not help but win with the wo-
men and moral sentiment on his side.
The Breckenridge people say that Ovens
lead is barely $50, and that the committee
will give them the nomination sure.
