Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1891-11-13
WILL Be NO TRUCE.
Mr.. White Will Fight to
the Last Ditch.
VIEW OF THE FIELD TODAY.
What is Heard About the Situation
Among the People.

The political situation IN this city Is
about the same as it was last week. The
TRIBUNE young man has been around the
streets and interviewed several gentlemen,
but they do not want their names pub
lished. Why men who talk so much don't
want their names to appear is an anomaly.
They talk freely enough, but when they
get through they say, "Now
please don't mention my name"
The TRIBUNE always keeps its word,
but it would be an amusement to the
voters of Pawtucket to hear the names of
the political wiseacres who have poured
out their wisdom into the honest ear OF
this paper.
For instance: One prominent Republi-
can says that he has killed three birds
with one stone, namely: Tiepke, White
and Saunders, and that he has thereby
saved Senator Aldrich for next year.
Then Tiepke man says that Mr.. Tiepke
is laying low and means to get on the Re-
publican State Committee next year in
spite of Mayor Goodwin. He says that
Tiepke is President of the Republican
Club organization and that that organiza-
tion will pull him through.
No one can get a word from Mayor
Goodwin and one cannot help admiring
his GOODNESS and diplomatic exterior while
he holds the helm Of the Republican party
and says gently, "Boys be still"
Then Mr.. Whites friends talk out from
the shoulder. They are in the battle for n
finish.
at must be White or Carroll" they say
And it is evident that they mean busi-
ness.
The letter of Mr.. White in which he ex-
poses the motives OF those who are fighting
him in his own party is generally regard
ed as grand document. Whites friends
are well pleased with it and it makes his
enemies wriggle. His accusation that Mr..
Newell, the coal dealer, who has led the
revolt ayainst Mr.. White, is so strong as
to be libellous, il 1t is false. 1t can
scarcely be conceived that Mr.. Newell
could be 80 short-sighted. But Mr..
White makes the statement boldly, and
he and Mr.. Newell will have to settle that
matter. Both factions are red-hot and
have on their war paint. II names were
mentioned there would be more laughing
among the solid Democracy than there is
even now.
The Sherman men are now wondering
where they are. Some Of them want to
go for White and others want to elect
Carroll. They have got themselves into
aqueer mess, and want to get out of it !;
still they feel ashamed to say either way.
The Senator is in a bad way because the
friends who boosted him onto the ticket
for Senator are now heaping maledictions
on his head for going back on their re-
commendation that he was a staunch
Democrat. They say that they brought
him out in the political race and that he
has deceived them, and the adjectives in
the latest revised dictionary can scarcely
give them sufficient vocabulary in which
to refer to him.
1t is also rumored on the street that a
coldness has sprung up between Patsy
McNeal and Governor Darling since the
publication Of joke about Patsy, saying
"Say, Guv." give us light" The TRIBUNE
young man cannot say whether there is
any truth in this or not, but the Governor
does feel little nettled when the matter
is referred to, and Mr.. McNeal also seems
to think that he might not have been
referred to as being an inferior person to
Lucius, even il the latter does make oleo-
margarine.
In the meantime the Democrats are
working like beavers.
They are determined to get out every
vote next Wednesday. Every member of
the City Committee is at work. But, be-
sides them, the voters themselves are now
taking hand and they mean to win. The
leaders have nothing to say except that
they are working and working, and will
leave no stone unturned to secure victory.
