At the Elm-street building, the Rev.
William NJ. Groton, of the Board Of
Trustees, addressed the scholars, and said

connection with the schools. He spoke of
the disorder and commotion that had
prevailed in the past, and said that a

scholars would be heavily dealt with.

sistant under Prof. Rice, will have charge
and he will be assisted by Charles III.
Babcock, principal Of the evening school.

Republicans Ready for the Election
Tomorrow.
A BIG VOTE is EXPECTED,
All the Candidates Again In the Field
What is Going On In Central Falis-The
Doings of the Day Here and There In
the Valley Of the Blackstone.

The day before election is a busy one for
politicians, and every effort that can be
Iuade by each Of the three parties is work
ing. The report upon the streets last
evening that Mr.. White would work for
Carroll is without foundation, and he will
be a candidate, as before. for the straight
Republican party. He will be sup
ported vigorously and according to
the figures of some of those best acquaint-
ed, will make a much better showing.
The first ward are counted for as more
solid than before for White. CarrolPs
supporters are making a big fight, and
they claim another strong vote. The poll
tical literature is more plenty than ever
and to read some Of the "tracts " is am -
ing. Sherman's supporters are said
to have expended more money
for printers ink than either of the other
parties but he will not be the next mayor,
so say the majority Of the voters. That
quiet conference which some of the Sher-
bright eassS ssi' d@t hnd yssS5srd"y ysnS
few of them retired dissatisfied.
Things which were promised, 1t is
alleged, did not materialize, and SO
they are left. That Sherman is not in
favor Of liberal expenditure for the
militia yearly is a fate which any man
who carries a musket Is aware of, and
will carry his vote against him in to-mor-
rows election. The canvassing of the list
by the Board of Aldermen made but a
very few changes, and large vote is ex-
pected.

the Republican State League occurs upon
the evening Of the election both in Provi-

1t is astonishing to see how mems opin-
ions are based on their prejudices. Many
of GetchelPs followers are offering bets,
which receive prompt takers, that thsir
candidate will receive 500 votes and over
at the first election. The total vote polled
will not exceed 1000 votes, and there are
three other candidates representing
straight parties, all popular men who
will receive the bulk of the party vote.
and il is difficult to see where the 500 votes
will come in. Conservative estimates
place Mr.. Getchells vote at $50, drawn
mostly from the Democratic ranks.

years old and an "old man " for boxer.
Still Carroll is the more experienced, a
slayer from the word go and about as
clever a man as there Is in the lightweight
class. Myers, on the other hand is also
clever, but there is a suspicion that he
isn't game. In other words there are
those who believe he will quit" He
showed this trait of character In his last
go with Andy Bowen, when he lost his
head completely and deliberately COM
mitted foul after Andy was out, thereby
losing the decision and getting only u
draw when he might have had the big end
of the purse. A man who will lose his
head is apt to do about anything. One of
the essentials of boxer is cool head
This Myers lacks and il is probably this
fact that influences the betting in favor of
Carroll in the present contest.
