Nevada Republicans Request the Sem
ator's kesignatton.
CARSON, New, Sept. 17.-Ssnator John
P. Jones OF Nevada has been requested
by the Republican state central com
mittee to resign his seat in the United
States senate. to which he was elected
by Republicans. This request is made
in long let,er, which was drafted by
Chairman Trennor Coffin, and approved
by the etate central committee at a
meeting held in this city. The letter
exhaustively reviews Senator Jones'
letter OF August 29,h to the former
chairman Of the committee, Enoch
Strother, in which Jones announces that
he has left the Republican party to ioiu
the Populets, and severely criticises his
course of action. The main points of
the letter are as follows:
You cav that you have not changed
vour principles. Well and good. Then
1t follows that you have merely changed
your name, and instead of calling yonr-
self Republican you will hereafter
term youreelf Populist. Do the chin.

ming OF his political decline? Can YOU
reasonably expect different result?
But by what mental process you ar
rive at the conclusion that the great
principle involved requires yon to
part company with the Republican
party OF Nevada, your letter entirely
fails to disclose. You concede that we
are true to the cause OF silver. Than
why do you abandon us? If We are
true to silver, why does not devotion
to that principle Of which you write 40
REQUIRE you to remain true to
US? Not only have we been true to th
cause OF silver. but we have been true
TO every other great principle that YOU
hold dear: and more than all, we have

Fire.


About 5 o'clock yesterday Thurs
day morning the fire bell rang and
the fire company went flying up Main
street towards the waterworks stand.
pipe. The fire proved to be in the
residence of Judge Naugle, just east
Of the standpipe. The fire started in
the kitchen at the northeast corner
of the building and must have caught
from the hue, as the fire was supposed
to be about out when Mrs. Naugle
went into the dining room to break
fast. The first the family knew Of
danger, Oscar Layne spoke about
smoke being in the house. Mr.. Maui
gle remarked that it was the wind
blowing down the chimney, but on
opening the door found the kitchen
in flames. BY this time the alarm
had been given by Others who saw the
fire and the family carried out few
things, but were soon baffled In
the work by the smoke and flames.
The wind came from the north and
the flames made rapid Roadway. The
fire company was on hand in due
time and did good work in extin-
guishin. the flames but not until the
building, which belonged TO r. j.
EppersOn, was ruined. The house.
hold goods were insured, but the ex.
tent of the damage is not known as
we 60 to press.
In this connection, without con.
sulting the judge, we may add that
this calamity, coupled with the close
times, will make it necessary to in
yite all who are in arrears to call and
lend a helping hand by paying up ant
renewing their subscriptions.
