RETIREMENT OF JONES.

The following is taken from the Chi

retirement of the Hon. James
X. Jones. as chairman of the
Democratic national committee and
the reorganization of the committee:
Just eight years ago in Chicago the
chimes in the Democratic cathedral
rang out the old and in the new,
and when Chairman Harrity of Penn
sylvania passed the scepter of mana
gerial power to Chairman Jones the
occasion had sentimental side that
was in strange contrast to the stormy
scenes in the old Coliseum where Bry-
an was made the party hero. The
same feelings of sentiment prevailed
today when Chairman Jones said
gOod-by to his associates on the ma
tional committee.
Pathos in the Situation.
Striking personalities stepped into
the background on that July day in
1896; others severed connection with
the party of their forefathers. And to-
day other striking personalities made
preparations to retire from the scene.
There was pathos about it that mois-
tened the eyes of the cold-blooded poll
ticians who are allied with the forces
OF regeneration and will continue to
