Of wholly excluding the latter.
On Monday, the two Houses will meet Ia
compare nominations, and To decide by bal
lot between the two. The reLxsiye strength
Of parties in the two Houses, as tested by Inc
former votes, is thus: Crawford 81, Adams
81. Jackson one or two, Clay So. AS b.,m cen
Adams and Crawford, have no doubt that n
part Of the Clsyites will go Ia Cram ford, and
q part AS certainly to Adams, hut the proper
ti"n in which they divid.. is yet uncertain
There are rumors, loo, that sumo "f each
party will change their votes, and the baiio,
will conceal all inconsistency. But this can
not go Tar, nor extend beyond y vote or i've.
Neither party is, nor can be, very confident
az TO the result Fm my own part, should
have thought Livingston's proposition the
most advisable, but it did not seem SD 10 those
far better acquainted with the true state of
feeling in the Legislature.
The Chemical Bank Investigation has led
to quarrel between the A ssemJly and Judge

parties To thai inquiry. He appears at the

About the time fthc late meeting
of several leading Crawlordires, at
Providence, from this state, Georgia, land
elsewhere, the Providence Gazette
which had before opposed the caucus
became sudden convert TO Crawford
ism. The following letter to the edit
ors which we copy from the Inquire r,
will show that by portion at least, of
their subscribers, the change is not ap-
proved.
SMITHFlELD, July 10, 1924.
To the Editors Of TIE Provideacc Gazette.
Gentlemen,
In consequence of the resolve of the
Subscribers TO your paper in this neigh
borhood, 10 discontinue receiving it, on
the ground ofyour advocating the claim
Of William II. Crawford to the presiden-
cy, | take the liberty Of informing you,
that il would be most consistent with
fny particular views on that subject, to
decline receiving for distribution aay
packet, or any single paper directed to
myself. wish it 10 be distinctly under
stood, that feel no disposition 10 iufu-
euce you, gentlemen, as 10 The line of
conduct to be pursued in regard 10 the
Presidential question, you are at perfect
liberty to act, and promuIgate your own
opinions upon the subiect.-And claim
that the privilege be reciprocal. |
wish to have no concern, or agency in
promoting the cause of William IL.
Crawford. And will frankly inform
you, that from all the inquiry and infor-
nation | have obtained, as to the SEMI
ments and views ofthe freemen ofSmith-
field, | know not single solitary indi-
vldual in the town, who is disposed to
vote for a ticket which is friendly TO
him. And may add, that il is really a
matter OF establishment to me, that any
citizen Of Rhode Island can be found.
while lis Statute Book affixes to the
crime Of duelIing the forfeiture of life,
TO advocate the cause of William II.
Crawford, who stands arraigncd at the
bar Of public opinion, on the charge of
having committed that crime. think
it high time that the moral people of
this state should make decisive stand
against promoting to any important and
responsible office, any person who has
been concerned in elling.-Certainly
against any person whose hands have
been embrued in the blood of his broth
er.
Respectfully Yours, sc.

BERKSHIRE ELECTORS.

meeting has been held at Pittsfelj,
in the county of Berkshire, consisting of
abo ut forty individuals from five towns,
for the purpose of nominating another
electoral ticket. Adams, Cheshire and
New Ashford were represented by three
persons each, and LaneSborough by ten,
and there we're 90 or 80 from Pittsieid.
These were the only towns in that
county, consisting of thirty, that were
in favor ofthe proceedings of the meet
ing. On motion to postpone the whole
subject, the votes were Is in favor and
90 against it, Jonathan Allen was chos-
ell moderator, and they proceeded TO
nominate Governor Eustis and the late
Governor Brooks as electors at large,
and for their District the same gentle
men whose name is on the other tick
ct.
The change of the Electors at large
was made merely for the purpose of a
popular caption. 1t is not very proba-
BILE that either Governor Eustis or Gov
ernor Brooks will submit to be candi-
dates. VIII the latter permit his name
TO be used for the mere purpose of fos-
tering narrow and injurious prejudice
against a general ticket, which is made
use Of to effect what cannot be effected
openly and manfully? Will Governor
-Eustis lake the lead 10 opposition to the
general ticket. when the resolve stands
on the record .4pprovc9? Plain men
can never comprehend distinction be-
tween the opinions of Governor Eustis
and the opinions Of the Hon. William
Eustis. There is want of delicacy in
making this nomination, and the Cover
nor we presume will be hurt with the
polished but cutting sarcasm.
Memorial.
