THE GLOBE deems it proper and ju'
dicious to publish this matter, that II
may be more generally known, not
only to its thousands of readers in the
District of Columbia but to the thou
sands of honest Democrats outside this
District who have been confused and
deceived by the course of the National
Chairman.
That the latter class may know the
character of the gentleman MI Jones
is thus so uneXplainably treating as II

following condensed biograph of Hon
