SENATOR JONES INTERVIEWED

From the Carson News Of December ~
Senator John P. Jones arrived in Car
son this morning and stayed over until
the afternoon, when he departed for Gold
Hill by private conveyance. The SEN
ator is looking much better than when
here last and is in excellent spirits.
When asked for an opinion concerning
Nixon's candidacy he had little to say.
"As far as living in Santa Monica, L
have never made . practice Of boring the
public with my private affairs, but up
TO about 'ss / lived in Gold Hill with my
family. My mother lived with us. She
was Sc years old. very feeble and nearly
blind, and as noble . woman as ever
lived. The ground there is very precip-
itous. My little daughter was afflicted
with . motory trouble and DR.. Bronson,
q very eminent physician, said she would
die with heart disease and advised Q
change to the sea level. So my family
went down to Santa Monica and stopped
in a hotel there. A short time after l
received . letter from my wife informing
me that contrary to the doctors expec-
tations my little girl was slowly recov-
ing and suggesting that she would much
prefer to set up housekeeping to stopping
in q hotel, but there were no dwellings
that could be rented. 1 telegraphed her
TO build . house, and she did down close
to the sea there. / never saw the house
until eight months after it's completion
and I have not spent six months in Santa
Monica in my life and have retained my
residence in Nevada. Should l have al
lowed my child to die in . high alti-
tude
"Mr. Jones, it is said that this is a
scheme to force you to spend money with
the Silver party papers; that they made
demands on you before election that you
did not meet"
Mr.. Jones simply said that as q legis-
lator he had obeyed the law in all res
poets, and when asked if there was any
thing in the rumor that Nixon was back.
cd by Newlands. replied:
al cannot credit il. Mr.. Newlands
is friendly to me as far l know"
He then said that so far a. his future
course was concerned he would vote with
the Republicans on tariff legislation and
in . general way predicted . vast i'm
provement in the times 10 1897.

THE u. 9. sENAroHsHIP.

The Reno Journal Of Dec. q has the
following regarding The Nevada Senate
rial Eight:
Since the announcement Of Hon. Geo.
3. Nixon as a candidate for United States
Senator the air is full Of rumors regard
ing the Senatorship. 1t is intimated
that Hon. A.. C. Cleveland Of White Pine
will be in the race, and that he will re-
csive support from the Silver men and
get the entire Republican vote. Judge
Birelows name is also mentioned in con-
uecsion with the position on the Repub-
lican side.
There will be five Republicans in the
Lepislature-three in the Senate, oil
hoId-ovsrs, and two in the Assembly.
As the man who receives the compliment
tary vote Of the Republicans will be ex-
pected TO be accorded . respectful hear
ING from Mr.. Hanna or Mr.. Mckinley,
whichever may be President, regarding
the distribution Of Federal pie, it is not
| probable that Mr.. Cleveland will be that
man. His course at the st. Louis con-
vention, which he left with other silver
| Republicans, greatly displeased Hanna,
and his endorsement by the Republican
members of the Legislature for United
| States Senator would be an insult which
| the new administration might resent by
| filing every Federal position in Nevada
with carpet-bsggers. The pie counter
men will therefore give Mr.. Cleveland
| the cold shoulder should he be Q candi-
| date for the Senatorship. They voted
| against the interests Of the State for Of
| fee, aud they are not going to ~ieopardize
| their chances Of getting il by voting for
Q man who left the st. Louis convention
| when il declared against silver.
The friends of Senator Jones and OF
| Mr.. Nixon are counting noses, but dc
| not agree az to results. Nixon's friends
concede all Of the Storey delegation. two
| of the three Assemblymen from Ormsby,
| and two Of the four from Washoe to Sen
ator Jones. The three Assemblymen
from Elko and one from Lincoln are also
conceded to Senator Jones, but in many
OF the eastern counties there were nc
local conventions, all the candidates be-
| ing Silver men, who, it is claimed, are
not pledged to any particular person fol
| Senator. Whether this claim is wei
founded remains to be seen.
There are nine hold-over Senators. Q
majority of whom are for Senator Jones
Three Of the nine are Republicans, ont
Of whom is known to be . Jones man,
and another Of whom was pledged BY
platform to vote for . silver man for U
s. Senator. OF the six Senators elected
last November three are said to be pledg
