CENTRAL FALLS.
Meeting of the French Democratic Club
The Firewaris Election.

meeting OF the French Democratic
Club was held last evening and on account
of unfavorable weather the out-of-town
speakers were not present. There was
good attendance and several local Demo
Gratis addressed the members and i'm
pressed upon their minds the necessity OF
registration and gave information in
regard to naturalization. The officers of
the club are worthy of praise for the
efforts to build up the organization.
Art and Economy.
novel piece of workmanship, combin-
ing art and economy, is on exhibition at
Fred Lewis's on Pine street. II is what is
know as n crazy jug. The putty covering
of the exterior is concealed by innumer.
able articles, varyinG.in size from button
to meerschaum pipe and 50 securely inn
bedded as to make removal without de-
struction almost impossible. A hand
some coat of bronze gives this unique
piece OF ornamentation an appearance all
the more attractive and it is doubly re-
splendent at night when rejecting the
rays of the gas jets. 1t is an evidence of
the taste and handiwork OF William Law,
formerly of Olneytrile, ard he proposes to
make one larger and more elaborate for
the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
The Firewards Election.
Although the Republicans are busily en-
gagged just now in devising schemes to
hold the reins of power in the town for
several years to come, they manage to
spare q few moments now and then to
think about the coming firewards election
which occurs during the coming month.
or course they have fortified themselves
in various ways, especially in the canvass
Of the voting lists, but that alone will not
elect their candidates. Every voter in the
town remembers the bare faced trickery
that was practiced at the last
canvass; how they employed the
most eminent council in the State; how
he was astonished at the audacious action
of the party bosses and how they acted in
direct opposition to his advice in several
cases. He was brought there to give them
legal advice and he did so, but the legality
OF an action does not trouble the con-
sciences of Lincoln Republicans very
much. Every Democrat who remembers
this will not fail to cast his ballot when
the day Of election rolls around. The
indications are now that a strong ticket
will be nominated by the Democrats and
the chances of victory are very encourag-
ing.
There will be one Improvement this
year. The polls will be open from 2 until
o'clock, where formerly the election
took place at the appropriation meeting,
which will now take place a week later,
and, therefore prevent an all night con-
test.
