his allegiance to that party and
cast his lot with the PopuIists.
Senator Jones has written Il let-

the people of that State that he
has dotted the political garment
which he has worn with such dis.
tinction for so many years, an(
will don the garb of the third par.

secret from all but his most init.
mate associates, and it was his in
tention to have the first public ali
nouncement of his action made in
the letter which will be published
lished in his political home.
With this end in view, .Scnatos
Jones declined to-day to speak of

grcssman jerry Simpson opened
his campaign here last night. He
appeared remarkably we'll and

the country 4 currency based not
onl y on gold and silver, but on all
the wealth of all The land. Mr..

traits which are prominent in the
Jewish character. 1t maintains that
the Jews are the best chessplayers
because of their possession of mental
qualities which have always been use

ouiolSness of apprehension, tenacity of
purpose, readiness in the application of
