Defeat ends James K. Jones’s long Democratic chairmanship
James K. Jones loses the Arkansas primary to ex Governor Clarke ending a 17 year hold as Democratic National Chairman. A Mississippi-born Civil War veteran and planter turned lawyer, Jones led Bryanism efforts but faced party opposition. His defeat signals a political upheaval in Arkansas akin to Quay in Pennsylvania or Platt in New York. The piece also notes a separate 1890 horse market downturn linked to transit shifts and the rise of bicycles and automobiles.
