Senator J. K. Jenes IN Fayetteville.

From the Fayetteville Sentinel.
United States Senator Jas. K. Jones
addressed the people on Monday after
noon Of last week. The court house
was packed and fully ~ many were
unable to gain admittance. Hon. T.
N. Gunter, chairman Of the county
committee, presided and the speaker
was introduced, in = few we'll timed
remarks, by Congressman n. A..
Dinsmore.
His chief subject was the currency
question which he argued from the
bimetallic standpoint and contended
that the Democratic party was the only
source Of relief. It would be dimcult in
q limited number of words to give any.
thing approaching . resume Of the
salient points Of bis argument. They
were all salient points. Every argument
drove home . nail and clinched It. The
speech was mastery and the arguments
seemed irrefutable Senator Jones
alluded to the interest the question Il
exciting In every civilized country at
this time. He believed It is moi
sufficiently understood but would b
solved in due time for the benefit Of the
masses Of the nations, with special
reference to the United States. He
alluded to the fact that all interests,
great and small, are affected and that
conditions are growing worse, and
declared his conviction that there could
be NO permanent return of prosperity
until silver Is restored to an equality
with gold. He believed that there Il
nerve enough In the people to see the'
laws shall be made to right the wrong
now perpetrated by selfish plutocracy
He declared that nine out Of ten Of thu
political economists Of the world under
90 years Of age are bimetallists. HI
quoted copiously from eminent author
files on political economy to show th,
injustice to the masses Of the curse Of ,
depreciating currency, while the classel
are favored by tho consequent appre.
citation Of gold In value. He quotet
figures to prove that the trend Of bust
ness shows . decline Of nearly 30 pc,
cent. in general prices since 1873, con
sequent upon silver demonetisation
The way to undo this is to reverse tn
engine and go back. He appealed I.
his hearers to assert their rights at tn
ballot box. He spoke about two hours

question is uppermost. The revival Of contro-
versy over Federal supervision OF elections dur
ing the next two years will soldify the South
when /. is now breaking away from old party
lines With election reform looming up rs the
supreme issue Of State politics from Virginia
TO Texas 1t will be most unwise and mischevous
for the next Republican House 10 obstruct the
moral forces OF public opinion by !'l-timed de-
bate over Federal regulation of elections.
Impa rtial investigation Of the conditions under
which Congressional elections have been held
will not be resented by the South. Indeed, 1t
will be welcomed by honest and high-minded
Democrats in Virginia, South Carolina and
next House additional seats are not needed. but
that has nothing TO do with the matter justice
ought to be done without reference to politcai
expediency or the resources Of the majority.
The cause of honest elections In the South VIII
not be promoted by Republican condonaiion OF
the iniquitous methods employed In Virginia.
Alabama and Louisiana All the contested cleo
ton deserve full and just consideration
X there be disposition at Washington to dis
miss contestants with the explanation that the
majority Is large enough already, and that the
moral effect of unseating members who nave
been declared elected will be detrimental to
party interests cheating. trickery and election
outrages will be repeated in the South and re-
formers will be disheartened. No majority can
be so large that it can afford to be unjust and
to countenance election crimes. l. ~ +.

A shadow Combat.

People residing in Gay alley neigh
borhood witnessed a rather unique fight
last night. Ed Cleary, musician, who
carried about his person a jag Of 9
weeks standing, while passing through
the alley happened to look behind him
and saw his shadow, says the Nashville
American. He thought the shadow
was a man and shook his fist at 1t
and the shadow in return did the samG
thing at him. This made Cleary mad
and he cried: eff you are looking fOI
trouble I'm your game" Then he lay
down and beat the shadow until blood
trickled from his fists. and when he
saw that his silent foe was invinciblG
he got several rocks and ran the shadow
for fifty yards or more. AS he turned
back he saw that the imaginary mar
was still chasing him. He increased
his walk to a run and the shadow die
likewise. Finally he recognized thai
the imaginary foe was clean grit and
had got all the best Of the fracas, and
he continued a hasty retreat, the
shadow chasing him into the arms Of
q policeman. At the station he wanted
to shake hands with the shadow and
make friends, but the officer hustled
him of to cell.
