So Bfjidly in Iovo His Friends Fear
Ills Mind is Affected.
WASHING-ION , i'eb. 22. The filcnds of
Senator Jones of Floilda aio > eiy much con-
ceincd about his conduct and can only be
lieve that ho must be out of Ids mind. Ho
lias been In Detroit nowneaily three months.
nt the principal hotel , doing nothing but
piomcnadc the sheets upon which the young
lady lives who has so lulatuated him , trying
to catch a glimpse of her. Kvery itny ho
sendshcr a letter declailng Ids Tovo lei her ,
and a laigc sl/cd bouquet. She never
sees the Icttcis or tlio piesents. The
most icmailcnbio feature of the case Is
that Senator Jones has met her but
twice. In the most casual manner. Ho de
clared his love on the street at the second
meeting in such an impassioned manner as
toiilghlcn her almost out ot her wits , and
she appealed for pi election to her lady com
panions. who liui lied to their homes and
dammed the door in the senator's lace. The
next day ex-Jtaj or Thompson of Dctiolt , by
whom Air. Jones had been intioduccd to the
lady , called at the hotel to demand an ex
planation ot his conduct , and became con
vinced that the senator had lost his
icason. Ho told Mr. Thompson of
Ids adoiation and declined that ho
would never leave Detroit without
taking his cousin as n bride. Ho seems sin-
ceic In his intention. The Indv In the case
is a .Miss Palm , the daughter ot a French Ca
nadian , who was one ot the eaily settlers of
Dctiolt. and made an iaimense foitimo by
piudcnt investments In city pioperty and
pine timber lands. .Miss 1'alm is neither
very \oung 1101 very boautitul , but will un
doubtedly inherit 62,030,000 at the death of
hei fattier. Senator Vance lias srono to Do-
tioit to see \vliat ho can tlo towaid bilnglng
Senatoi Jones to icason , and hopes to bo able
to ncisuade him to abandon a hopeless suit
and retiiin to Washington. In this cltoithe

DITIIOIT , Mich. , Feb. 23. The Jlichigan
club , n icpubllcAii organbntlon hnvlng Its
iicmbershlp throughout the state , held Us
irst anniversary hcie to-night In the shapool
i bannucL Senator Palmer , Its piesldtng
olilccr , sat In the center of a lalsed table at
one end of the hall. On his light wcio Sen
ators Kvarts , Conger , Mnnderson , cv-Uepic-
jcntatlvo Ilorr and other Michigan men. On
ds left sat Senilor J.ogan , Goveinor Algcr ,
( lovernor Foiakcr , c\-0o\ciuor Jerome , Con-
jicssmnn Uucnthor , nnd others. At 0 o'clock
sonntor Palmer called the nudlenco to order.
In Ids Inttoduetoryicmaiks ho explained the
> bject of the club , saying that \Vash-
ngton , If nllve , would probably be
> resent. He said It Is composed of those v. he
icllcvo that the republican party still has
work to do , teunliig It properly the party ol
God and of moialily.
William M. Kvaits , of New York , re
sponded to the toast , "Washington the Na
tionalist , the Federal Union the Consumma
tion ot his Woik. " When the stoim of ap
ilauso had subsided , Kvaits returned thanUs
x > r his lecentlon and lor being Included in
henuniDcrof those Invited to p.utlclpate in
ho exercises of the anniversary. Mr.
iivarU consldcicd tlio Chicago convention
of 1SCO as tlio supplement and fullillmcnt
of the convention and declaiatlon ol
ndcpendenco. Then we were out of power.
Wo are in power now. Thedemociatlcpaity
was In power then and is now. We knew
what wo did then. What nbout now'.1 Arc
now the same Incentives at work among the
icople ? He could not foictell a stoim , but
10 believed the duly now Is the same as In
.bGU. The same motives should voile upon
.hopaity and the same loononslbllltlos as
sumed. All else must bo laid aside , ami w 1th
unselfish devotion the icpubllcans should
legain power fiom the same icasons that led
[ oil then. The demociatlc piity had no
piinclplcs woithy of the name at that time ,
mil now they have nothing to piopo e foi
the wellaie , Impplness and good name of the
eountiv. Do said the icpubltcan pally must
avow its holding to the piincipleoi piotec-
tion of Aniciican industries. Education
must bo unlvcisal and sullrago must be
cM'ivwlicio an absolute and unchallenged
jUllrago. If in the nc.\t campaign vfctorj1
Iocs not lie with us , It w 111 bo our weakness ,
but not the demociatlc stiength. "
"Tho American Citi/on. Native nnd
Adopted ; lie should bo made happy nnd pros-
pciousat home and secuio abioad , " was the
subject of the toast , towhich Congicssman
KIcluud Gucntherof Wisconsin , lespondcd.
Ho said he was a lepublican because that
unity was the paity ot humanity , the paity
ol equal lights to nil , and opuosed to slaveiy.
He loved it ns n fiicml ol labor nnd the givci
of benefits to nil citizens , botli native and
adopted.
Senator Palmer stalled to intioduco Gen-
cial John A. JjOgan , but was Inter-
inpted by lienity applause. As soon as
Senator Logan nioo the entho audience
leaned to their tect , cheering and waving
handkeiclilefs. Ho responded to the toast.
"Wnshlnglon.'ctho Jtupubllcnn. " Ho be
lieved In the voice of the ppoplo , which can
only bohcaul tlnough n fair ballot nnd nn
iionest count. Ho came not to tench , but to
be taught. No Oracle is needed to tell the
Fntuie. Parties cannot live on past rccoids ,
but the rceoul made In the way ot
liatiiotlsm is not to bo forgotten.
Thcio is no action to bo ashamed ot in the
past histoiy of the icpubllcaii p.uty , and the
light fiom its past is the glory of Its pathway ,
Theio exists In the republican party the
| iow er to defeat itself , when it was put on
the dolonsive. defeat followed. He said that
in the uoi th the people looked too much to
their Individual Inteiests and not enough to
the interests of the countiy nt laige. The
light must bo made on live issues. Thtf dem
ocrats , in peace , had shed blood in older te
secure power , while the icpubliraiis have
opposed bulldozing vvheiever and whenevci
known. Ho denounced it both In the soutl :
and thonoith. Hcgavo lignies show ing the
difference between the sizes ot the noi them
niulasouthcin cnngiesslonal dlstiiets , and
made a pica lor the liccdom ot the ballot in
all parts of the countiy. IIo lenred lor the
Inline unless this is stopped. Ho consldeied
the democratic paity was simply pictoiidlng
to leform the civil sen Ici1. Tlio people wcu
entitled to hem how tlio government wa <
being cairicd on , and , ho said , they slml !
know.
Senatoi C. F. MandcisonotNebiaBka , re
spondcd to the toast , "Our New Kmpiie , tlu
Howdy West. " Owing to the late hour tldt
speech concluded the exercises ot the e\'en
ing. llespoko lor a vlgoinns west , asklni

tlio Appeal eallod upon him at the Tallao
house. Lake Tuhoo , nnd solicited the tut-
vi-rtising of the hummer report. Mr.
JJaldwin was anxious to insert the adver

Mr. Ualdwin refused to give more than

In a few days the old follow went
down to Los Angeles and oJl'orcd this
woman ? 'JO for a ki.ss. Meanwhile , his
business was neglected at the hotel , and
it was not known by reason of an in-
snlliciency of advertising , and sick of the
business , ho leased il to another party.
There is no doubt that Mr. liuldwin
has paid out a gicat many $ , ' 0j for
kisses , and ho spent the Kinno amount in
advertising the merits of his business and
hedged on the rosy lips of the g'u Is , his

have to pay out much money for Kissing ,
for everybody knows that women Hock

U'o hate to f-un a man practicing this
lidicnlons faKe economy with women
and nowsp.ipors. Jf Ualdwin had spent
more on the press and less on that I'or-

money to attack him in the com ts , nnd
the press would have hem defending his

It is indeed a sad , sail world when n
man gets to lie nti old as Lneky Ualdwin
and pays out money to designing women
that ought to go into the channels of

building up the growing and mighty
