coal per day, works at least 600 bales of

The machinery in this Factory is OF

BE CAREFUL HOW YOU EN-

In 1928, about 10 votes were rejected
by the Counting Committee, the first
name of the voters not being written at
full length. Twenty votes from Newport
were rejected, the names not being writ
ten at length. The law is "every per-
son who shall vote for General officers,
shall have his name written at length, on
the back Of his vote and all the votes so
taken CATER the names are registered
shall be in open town meeting, scnlcd up
by the Clerk, and by him delivered to a
Senator or Representative"
The above direction should be strictly
followed, to prevent loss of votes. Let
every Freeman take care 10 m,ite his
name at length or have it so written.

INFAMOUS ISLANDER RErrTED

[From the Providence American.
The pamphlet assailing Mr. Arnold in
the discharge Of his trust as Commission
or of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
came under the eye Of that gentleman
yesterday, and he has taken cflectual
means to crush it at once, as will be seen
bv the annexed correspondence. 'Mr
Scarle is political opponent of Mr. Ar
mold, and the testimony thus drawn from
the friends of Governor Fenncr, must be
taken as conclusive. The trankncss and
lulncss with which Mr. Searlc nttcsts to
the HONORABLE and FAITHFUL conduct of
Mr. Arnold in the management Of the
Bank concerns, does him credit. So
convinc cd had tho authors ofthc pamphlet
become Of the dangerous ground they
stood OFT, that they have already issued a
Cd edition, pretending to take back the main
assertion on which all their SANDERS rest,
viz: that the Bank had mortgage on
the turnpike shares, sold by the Assignces
of VIM. Harris, Esq
Proridenc,, .qpri :, 1891.
MR HALLETr-lIaving this day read
an Infamous pamphlet, issued from the
Herald Office in this town, and, as un-
derstand, secretly circulated in the coun-
try, accusing Mr. james +. Simmons and
myself, as Commissioners Of the Farmers
and Mechanics Bank, of fraud and spec
ulation, | Immediately addressed Nathan
icl Scarle, Esq. upon the subject of that
pamphlet, he being well acquainted with
the facts connected with the purchase of
stock in the East Turnpike, and also the
manner in which the Commissioners have
conducted the affairs Of the Bank. will
thank you to publish my note and Mr.
Scarle's reply. The allegations and in
situations in that pamphlet, so far as they
cast any mputaton upon Mr. Summons or
myself, are false and scnndnlous.

of his civil rights, the moment he is con-
victed of stealing a sixpence, or even
robbing a hen-roost whilst the more
mean and infamous, but less elevated
villain, who robs political opponent of
all that he and his family hold dear-his
fair name-is carcssed, and cheered,
and rewarded for his lnbors. These
things ought not to be so. A high-mind-
cd and generous people ought, and they
ultimately will, frown Indignantly upon
those who, in any way, give countenancc
to such wicked a.persions of private char
nctcr, as those we now complain of. 1t
is surely matter of deep regret that any
individual, claiming to be respectable,
should, in the least degree, countenancc C
the measures adopted by the Jackson
party, to carry their plans against Mr.
Arnold, particularly, into successful op-
oration--to say nothing of their own per-
sonal and Jealous efforts in this Disgrace
ful work. Among those who have de-
voted themselves, increasingly, to the
circulation of this base and calumnous
pamphlet, we have heard of no one that
can Justly claim the pre-cmincnce over
HENRY BULL, ESQ.!!! Still it is
notorious fact, that this same Mr. Bull
will scarcely admit the right to canvass
even his OWN political character. Let
the sober, discreet, and honorable part of
this community, remember, when Mr.
Bull solicits their votes in his own favor,
or when he threatens some individuals
holding Office under him, or which is
about the same thing, branch of his
family, what shall bcial them if they vote
against him Mr. B.)-Lct both those
classes remember, on town-me cting morn
ing, the enr'nble part Mr. Bull has taken
against Lemucl II. Arnold-let them re-
member, too, that Mr. Bull has declared,
over and over again, that his "sword is

Newport, April 9th, 1891

The Subscribers, Stockholders in and
creditors of the Farmers & Mechanics
Bank in Pawtucket, having been inform
ed that pamphlet has been put in circu-
lation for political purposes, charging
Lemuel IL. Arnold and j. +. Simmons,
two of the commissioners appointed by
the General Assembly, with fraudulent
practices in relation to the funds of said
Bank, think it duty which they owe the
community as swell as those gentlemen to
state, that being interested in the funds
of said Bank as stockholders or creditors
thereof at the time the sub bject was be-
fore the legislature, those of the subscri
bcrs who were then directors of the Bank
of Rhode Island, took a deep interest in
the appointment of commissioners, and
were consulted by some of the leading
members of the assembly, as to the per-
sons who should be appointed. One Of
the commissioners was selected by them
selves and the other two met their entire
appropriations tina. since the appointment
of commissioners the stockholders of the
bank, at a general meeting, appointed n
committee to attend to their interest in
relation to the same; that said committee
have,as they believe, from time to time
been fully informed ofthc proceedings of
the commissioners relative to the dis
charge Of their trust and have generally
been consulted in relation to all impor-
tant steps contemplated by them; that
from their knowledge of the affairs Of said
Bank they believe that in all transact
tons, relating to the property of the
Bank, the Commissioners have discharg-
ed their duty conscicntiously and solely
with view to the interest of the credit
ors s stockholders OF the institution. They
further believe, that many thousands of
dollars have been saved To the institution
bv the diligence and ability with which
its affairs have been conducted. The
subscribers further say they have been
informed and believe that MIR. j.. ii.
Arnold, who from his residence in the
town ofProvidence has necessarily been
most engaged in the business, has devo-
ted most of his time to the discharge of
that trust The subscribers have no hes
itation in declaring that they feel the
most entire confidence in the integrity,
ability, and assduity of tho Commission
ers.
