DEMAND JONES’ SEAT.

Nevada Republicans Request the Senator to Resign. Carson City, Nev., Sept. 18.—Sen ator John P. Jones, of Nevada, has been requested by the republican state central committee to resign his seat in the United States senate, to which he was elected by republicans. This request is made in a long letter which was drafted by Chairman Trennor Coffin and approved by the state central committee at a meeting held in this city. The letter exhaustively reviews Senator Jones’ letter of August 29 to the former chairman of the committee, Enoch Strother, in which Jones announces that he has left the republican party to join the populists, and severely criticises his course of action.
