1t was an excellent illustration.
Every particular had been arranged in
the caucus of delegates which preceded
the convention, which was. indeed, the
real convention. It's a system which
saves even the appearance OF contest III

The Republican assembly convention ot
this city, at its meeting yesterday, evi
! IDENTIFY overlooked one important matter

James McNally for the eminent services
he Is now rendering the hepublcan
party.-Telegram.
Probably because the convention
didn't know whether McNally or the
Telegram is doing the party the most ef-
fective service.
In the case Of Mr. Hill it can hardly be
said that the "ofiice seeks the man. -
Narragansett Times.
1t wouldn't have TO seek him because
he's right there under its nose, SO to

And much good will il do him to vote

once became dissatisfied with ticket

was good man, probably better one

Congress is slow. as usual. The country
knows which Mr.. Reed is and was. For
he is one of the livest men in these

The Tribune knows that the Republi-
can party in Rhode Island, as in every
Northern State, has uniformly won its
victories against the saloon influence.
The Republican party has no wish to be
"solid" with any except the great mass
of temperate and thoughtful voters.
The Tribune should not so often betray
the logical weakness of its cause by re
sorting to falsehood.

Your true Democrat sees no sense in

why the News is Republican, though of
reasons there are plenty more.

even better. -Olneyvlle Times.
Mr.. Campbell is a bright Journalist
and will keep the Pendulum swinging.
Senator Dixon is reported as saying that
his party in Rhode Island can get along
without the press. This is quite a rub
on the NEWS s.-Olneyville Times.
Not a bit of it. The party has got along
without NEWS for seven years, but il is
appreciated now just seven times as
much for the long interregnum.
IL would be n serious mistake to put
Brooklyn's contemplated 100000 free

persons to be appointed by the mayor
If there is any place where municipal
politics should not be given n chance to
enter, it is a public educational institu-
tion of this important kind.-Journal.
In its constitutional greed of fault
finding, the Journal has overlooked the
fact that Brooklyns even more impor-
tant educational institutions. the public
schools, are i'm the hands of q commits
sion appointed by the Mayor, and that
Brooklyn people think that this takes
them ont of politics. incidentally, it
may do no harm to remark that the
Journals criticism. besides being based
on ignorance, is Ill one instance un-
grammatical.
With Secretary Foster in England
speaking of "iiannel-mouthed Irishmen,"
and the principal of a Johnston, X. l.,

the coming campaign. Telegram.
The Telegram never knows when to
stop lying. This particular lie has al
