Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1891-11-16
HOW It LOOKS TODAY
Another Glance Over
the Political Field.
WHAT THE THIRD PARTY IS.
Candidate White Will Make the Fur
Fly Among the Boilers.

The political situation in Pawtucket is
becoming more bright for the Democratic
party every moment With the exception
of few men who have been voting the
Republican ticket for six or seven years
last past, while pretending to be Demo-
Gratis, the party is solid.
The reports from every Ward Committee
in this city are even more encouraging
than before the last election. Working
men, artisans and business men in the
various wards are offering tSnir services,
their money and their horses and teams to
assist the election of the Democratic
nominee.
There never was so much enthusiasm
in the party before and it would be sur
prising to the Republican politicians Of
the city to know of the men who are
working for couple Of dollars day who
are contributing from fifty cents to
dollar each to help elect the Democratic
candidate.
This shows the great interest the rank
and file of the party are taking in the
present contest. II the other candidates
could show such a condition OF feeling
they would feel highly delighted. But
they cannot do so-for, on one side, White
depends on few of his friends for money;
while on the other side the hungry vam-
pires who are always looking for split in
either party to get Doodle are trying to
"work" Lucius b. Darling and the Paw
tucket Street Railway and Gas Company
for all there Is In 1t.
The regular Republicans who have NOM
mated Alderman David j. White are de-
termined that the election shall be fin
ished next Wednesday. They see that the
tide has set in strong against their candi-
date because Of the split in his own party
and they are determined to a man that
Lucius b. Darling will not control the
city.
1t appears that Benjamin Nj. Bosworth,
Esq, late Assistant Attorney General, has
been retained by Mr.. White to protect his
interests in the matter of the charges
against him and Others in the gravel pit
matter.
Mr. Bosworth is a very persistent fighter
for his clients and il Mr.. White has re-
tanned him as counsel the public may ex-
pect very soon to see some action taken in
the courts against Lucius b. Darling and
George Z. Newell. This prediction is
based on the statement made by Mr..
White in the Providence Journal that Mr..
Darling and Mr.. Newell have openly
charged him, before witnesses, with
having been connected with the gravel pit
matter as boodler.
This feeling between the parties inter-
ested may be taken as an indication that
Mr.. Whites friends will vote for Mr..
Carroll for fear that Mr.. Sherman may be
elected on Wednesday next.
Mr.. White has prepared circular which
he is going to send out through the differ
ent wards which will show his condition
of mind. That David is in estate of
mind" goes without saying, and it is evil
dent that he means to show the people
what he thinks of the manner in which
he has been used and also to tell the Re-
publicans that il they don't think he is
going to be elected to cast their votes for
Mr.. Carroll.
The general opinion in the community
is that Mr.. White cannot be blamed for
what he Is doing.
So far as the Sherman contingent is con-
cerned, the general opinion is that Mr..
sherman is only the tool OF local monopo-
lies. A majority OF the men and corpor-
ations who are supporting him signed a
petition against the passage OF the Ten
Hour law. A reference to the files OF the
General Assembly when that law was be-
ing agitated will show who these men
and corporations are. The most promi-
nent among them are the Union Wadding
Works and the Dempsey Bleaching and
Dyeing Company.
The Democrats are calm and confident
and expect to cast their full vote on We'd
nesday.
