trict. was seen last night on hls any"
from Petersburg. and, being asNeo W""'
be ehoueht of Mr.. Jones speech il MAN

= regret That Mr.. Jones responded TO lhe
request 90 speak in Manche-lei Del@"7o
wished to See the voters of that city eN-
press themselves iu the primary on tHo
9th OF se~-ember between Governor iy4eI
and senator Martin uninfiucnced 10y any
outside pressure and "l'houl "lpe'i ~
their prejudice. ,.
"Nr Jones has unintenuonally done
ceratfr Martin injustice. When the
River and HarDor bll went 90 me Senale
Committee the appropriation or Sl1oVg
was cut down 90 10000. AS soon as i
discovered this. and 30 SO happened that
my attention was called TO 1t before my
colleagues in either house were aware %.
the fact ! went to Senator Marun ana
asked him to see The Committee on Coh-
ference appointed by the Senate ana ne
saw them at once ON the subject ! then
saw Nr. Jones knowing that one OF the
House c0nferees was very close TO him.
and asked that Dice would see This gentle
man and secure his influence on ine com
mittee. With these influences toselher'
we soon had the appropriation fixed al
ynnl For this assistance ] was ndebt-
al Do both senator Martin and Repr1seu-
tatfve Jones and gave them credit at the
tf.n. AS Z do now. So YOU must see that
am surprised when my colleague says:
Senator Martin never once offered 10
helm in tho matter" This is % mistake.
las soon as J mentioned the matter TO- the
Senator DE gave it immediate attention.
j remember that Mr. Jones expressed
some surprise that ] knew Of the action
