Show washington LETTER it from row our regular correspondent NOTON sopt sept 7 ibal A political sensation of thel first magni tudo tude was that sprung upon the country by senator jones of nevada when hu he announced his withdrawal from tho the republican party and his hi membership ot of tho the peoples people party senator jones la is now serving hla his fourth term in the senate and his prominence in the republican party is attested by hla his being a member of the finance committee which is 1 always to regarded as a a high party honor to say ay that the populists lists aro are jubilant over their tile recruit Is putting it very mildly indeed already there la Is some borne talk of senator jones being made tho the populist nominee for the in 1 1890 W but that cannot to behe he was born lu in england at the headquarters headquarter i of the populist congressional campaign committee senator senater jones letter Is regarded as a a campaign document of inestimable value particularly in the northwestern states whore where there are many who believe with senator jones in the free coinage of silver over at a ratio of 16 to 1 but still remain in the old parties trusting that their parties will eventually endorse the idea senator jones jonea destroys that illusion by ridiculing the various arlous silver planks in the following vigorous language all these resolutions and so called silver planks plank are the ibe same sort of dust that for many years ha ba been thrown Into the eyes of silver laicans and sliver silver democrats to blind then OU sufficiently long to permit a particular election to bo be hold held and to secure thelt votes voles for that election it if those conven tlona 11 0 as favored the free coinage of silver ba b the united states at a ratio
