Dutce J. Pearce, with his characteristic
modesty, is trying to get some Of his lackics
of the punch bowl party, to offer bets that he
will beat Robert B. Cranston five or six hun
dred majority. Don't be too fast, gentlemen:
if you have any money TO sport with.you had
better save it To- furnish public dinner for
the Democrats of lIelborn woods on voting
day. Perhaps you have forgotten that Mr..
Pearcc's majority in 1885 was but SEVEN
TEEN over Mr.. Burgess, including upwards
of forty illegal votes, proved to have been so
by the strongest evidence which the law re-
qurcs, and which would have been rejected
aud thrown out but for the mansg cement
practised and openly advocated by the leaders
Of his party in the Legislature. Now admit
: ting that he could find the same number will
ling to vote for him that lie did when he had
the money, influence and friends of Mr.
Sprngue to lean upon. together with the glory
of old IIickory's golden experiment, which
was then in the full tide Of success, and
which was buying golden opinions for all con-
cerncd in that golden humbng, yet the Elec-
tion law since passed for the. express purpose
of detecting and furnishing fraudulent voters,
might operate some,chat to reduce Mr..
Pearcc's noble II! So you had best be mod
crate, gentlemen, and not bet on too large Il
majority. disappointment sours The best of
people," RUE.

JUDGE HOWARD'S NOMINATION.

We all know that Rhode-Island was set
tied by Roger Williams and his associates
who fled from Massac husetts to tins territory,
that they might enjoy liberty alter their o~ u
fashion. We all know too, that IN early
times Massachusetts pretended to and with
violence sometimes exercised kind OF Juris-
diction over our people, rs good old MIR. Cor
ton and his friends in what Is now Kent
county have borne ample testimony: bu: this
claim was always, we believe, resisted by the
yeonanry Of Rhode Island and never excr-
cised except in the instance above referred
to, when it was backed by an armed force
Some of our people were not little Indi1-
nant therefore, when they found that the BoS-
ton Advocate, printed in the city Of Boston,
as its name shews, and edited by Benz. r.
Ia'ett, Esq. u native citizen VI the Stale Of
Mnssac chusetts, had so lar presumed to inter
mcdde with our affairs us ~ nominate the
Hon. Jesse Howard as the Northern cuDdi-
date for Representative to Congress from
Rhode Islands 1t was thought at first that
this was merely piece OF editorial impertI-
nence, and that, as such, nothing would come
of it in Rhode Island, except the feeling that
usually rises up against tlIose who meddlc
with other peoples affairs. Our surprise may
be judged then when we found that at the
very next meeting Of the Van Buren, Nonl-
mating Committee, the Boston nomination
WINS confirmed by them, and Judge Howard
was accordingly announced as the northern
candidate. Things have really come to a fine
pass when X. Island is TO act as Il province or
comfy of Massachusetts. We are willing
that the Van Buren, party should have as com
plcte an organization as they please, and if
the orders had come from head quarters should
have felt that we were at least treated as an
independent State but how the Boston
people got the right To dictate to us who
should be cur representative VIC don't know,
except they derived it from the old Gorton
business, which we thought dead and buried
long ago. Now, Judge Howard is a very
clever man, but We don't like his Massachu.
sets nomination.

MEssRs. EDITo Rs.-I would, through the mcdi-
UNI of your paper, suggest to the Board Of Tfus-
tees for the town of Du Buque, the propricty OF
passing some law to prevent 50 great a number OF
dogs from running at large in the town, several
havebeen killed supposed to bs mad-and to pre-
vent il, would suggest that heavy tax be impo-
sed upon ali, aud the owners be compelled to pu.
a band around the neck, with his name thereon.
and that all that found without this after spc
Gifted day, BE KILLED. This may be objected to,
as tending raise taxes, but am of opinion that
noperson who has a good dog, would oe unwilling
to pay reasonable tax, in order to have him se-
cure from the danger of being seized by hydropho-
bia; and am opposed to having the Pro PIE an
noyed nightly with the constant bowling OF large
number, providing about our town, without any
known owner.
would further call tho attention of the Board to
the necessity of having principal streets clean
ed out. With little expense streets may be
made the mos, beautiful and pleasant Of those of
any town in the west.
