Cierto manifesto publicado en-
ell Distrito de Arecibo, durante la
contienda electoral, contra Don
Manuel Alcala del Olmo, Diputa-
do electo por aquel, ha dado
pabulo al citado colega para es-
cribir un inconmensurable artfcu-
70 de fondo sin idem, destinado
indtilmente q mortifcar 4 nuestro
amigo con implacable obstinacion.
Pero Ia pEdncho no consiste en-
este.
Eg Pueblo esta en- caracter al
echar sapos y culebras contra el
seflor Alcala, contra ell Partido
nuestro, y contra todo 10 que no
es de su devotion y gusto.
Hasta aquf NADIA hay parecido
a una plancha.
Ell colega la ha hecho, pero
de descomunales dimensiones, al
sonar y publican su ensueno d.
ciendo que Ell aludido manifesto
es obra de correligionarios nues-
tros. ..... Sobre tan deleznable

Los que suscriben, vecinos electores
de la Villa de Aguada, hombres hbres
y que tenemos Ell valor de nuestras con-
welcomes, desmentimos de una manera
terminate y solemne los ataques que
en- un an6nimo artfculo publicado en-
ell nhmero 800 del Ell Pueblo, q 10 de

dnicos llamsdos a negar afrmar los
conceptos que Sc atribuyen al referido
DR.. Vadi, no podemos nj debemos ca
liar, dejando autorizada tanta inquina,
sino por Ell contrario, desmentir q todos

menos gratuitos.
Miente una y mil veces ell que ase-
CURE que dicho senior haya pedido ell vo-
to d los .electores de esta secci6n con-
ira la candidatura del Sr. Corchado.
nj mucho menos ell que formara atm6s-
fera contra ell deseo de este pretendien-
te a la Diputaci6n q Cortes, pues ell
apreciable DR.. Vadi, que nunca ha he
cho politica, y que vive retraido en- su
casa de campo del COl0s0, y consa-
grado d hacer todo ell bien que puede a
sus vecinos, no vista particularmente
nj trata en- absolute q ninguno, sino
cuando tienen necesidad de sus profun-
dos conocimientos, y lie ocupan en- sus
etcaces y desinteresados servicios. Y
va que sin querer hemos traido la
question q ese terreno, debemos consig-
mar, en- honor q la verdad, que ell yecin-
dario de Aguada, y muy particularmen-
te Ell de .Agnadilla, tienen mucho que
agradecer al caballeroso y caritativo DR..
Vadi, sin que 10 sea menos respecto de
su apreciable hermano d. Emilio. on4
ha sido siempre y es hoy una provi-
dencia para La mayor parte de los yeci-
nos de Aguada.
Sirvan estas Kneas como un desac,a a.

profunda de los que suscriben.

Can anybody tell us what occasion
here is for standing caucus of Demo-
Gratis in Tie legislature of this State, at
he present time We understand that
caucus is necessary when parties are
hearly even, not only to secure party
supremacy, but in many cases needed
gegisIation. Since, however, there are
pnly five republican senators, and only
fifteen Republicans in the House, neith-
ar of these reasons can apply. Public
discussion and freedom of action in
spen session, is the wisest and best pol
cy at the present time.
NJ Much of the disafection existing in
bhe ranks of the party, and much of the
frauds and bad conduct of the last cleo
lion in many sections of the State, are
The legitimate fruits OF measures forced
Through the last session under the whip
sof caucus--measures which could not
bear the test of public discussion, and.
which would have been choked by it..
Gentlemen of the legislature, give the
press andthe people time to understand
your measures before passing them, at
least measures that affect the welfare
of the whole State. Do not hurry mat
tiers through the caucus, and then shut
