Here is Mr. wardwell's letter of accept
ance:
BRIsToL, r. L., March 9th, 1892.
To McSSrs Rose, Christie, ARdrelCs, Gal
pin, Nolan, Committee:
Gentlemen: Your communication noti-
fying me Of the action Of the Democratic
State Convention of the 2d inst, was duly
received In accepting the nomination, it
is with pleasure that say few words de-
fining my position. The dangers that
confront Rhode Island interests are in
crcasiug daily.
Her manufacturers In these days of
sharp competition should be able TO pur-
chase all the materials connected with
their business as cheaply as possible. Free
raw materials, with sufficient duty on
manufactured goods, will not only assure
To US all of the business OF this great coun-
try. hut also open up the markets of the
world, thus enabling our mills and shops
TO run the entire year and afford good
wages To the laborers employed therein.
There is no difference of opinion among
Rhode Island Democrats in regard To the
currency Of this country, aud am glad to
sec that your platform speaks with no un-
certain sound on that subject.
Your resolution endorsing the man who,
above all others. stands for the great
principles for which the Democracy is
condending and who has aided SO much in
forwarding the interests of the party
nationally cannot fail TO secure the hearty
approval of all Democrats, and it gives me
pleasure to add my tribute 10 the many
which are being daily expressed for
Grover Cleveland.
In tact the entire platform adopted by
your convention is one that all citizens
irrespective of party, may endorse and
support.
a danger to the State, which unfortun-
ately has not been considered sufficiently,
is the constant increase of our expendi
ture under Republican General Assem-
bly,; an increase which would have caused
a deficit during the past year had not a
federal appropriation of over SS7 900 been
obtained and used for State purposes.
Among the evils complained of by the
people of this State is the effort now being
made TO shorten the time of voting in or
der To disfranchise large number of our
workingmen. The Democratic party will
continue in the future, as in the past, to
stand between the people and such OPP res
sicus. In fact, there will be no step back
ward in any measures of the Democracy.
An acceptance by me of your nomina-
tion, however, would not be complete
without proper acknowledgment of the
honor conferred, and the assurance on my
part that, IL elected, / will give TO the
Office the best of my abilities, and / will
impartially administer its duties, always
looking to the good of the whole people of
the State. Your obedient servant
w. Il. Q. WARDwELL

Mr.. CONRAD AND Mr.. PENCE
They are Here to See About the
BaIIou Libel Suit.

A NEWS reporter met John III. Conrad,
the son-in-law of the late Mrs. Josephine
A. Barnaby, in Col. Van Slyck's Office
this afternoon. Mr.. Conrad was looking
well and even bigger than when he was
last here Lawyer Lafe Pence was with
him. The latter is little fellow with a
smooth face and wide-brimmed hat, a In
Colorado. He scarcely reaches as high as
Mr.. Conrad's gigantic shoulder.
Mr.. Conrad said that he was not here on
any business connected with the Barnaby
case, but that he came with Mr.. Pence to
look after Col. Ballou's big 100000 libel
suit against him, which was started on its
way last fall when Mr.. Conrad said GER
tain things about Col. Ballou which the
latter was unwilling TO let pass
Mr.. Conrad said that he hadn't much to
say about the case and he had not yet
been able to learn wien it would come up
in the Supreme Court. When it
does come there will probably be another
lot of sensational evidence and arguments
on matters involved in the famous Bar
naby case, although it is not likely that
any Rhode Island Judge will allow things
which occurred In the court at Denver to
be repeated here, but will confine the case
to the matters of direct Importance to It,.

THE POTBOILS
Will The I" Telegram Support
McNally? Mo-
HE'S FOR The ASSEMBLY
A Full Ticket Made Up By His
Faction.
A COL0ReD MEMS CANDIDATE.
MIR. Camp VIII be Placed Upon The
Ticket The Biennial Bin How
Mr. skipworth Got Left - Mr.. Hahn
Indignant-Jackson Not Pleased.

The Democrats Of this city are doing a
good deal of hauling and pulling on their
City Assembly ticket, and they are liable
TO do some more scenc-shifting in their
Convention tomorrow night.
The spirit of McNallyism, like Banquo's
ghost, will not be downed, neither will
the ambitious McNally himself consent
to taking back seat.
Thrice defeated in his Mayoralty aspira-
tions, walloped in the last City Conven-
ton. he is still to the fore.
Now the generous contributor 10 cam
paign funds desires TO go TO the legisla-
tnre. He and his friends control six out
OF the ten ward representatives in the
convention tomorrow night.
Having this sure majority they propose
to set up ticket Of their own and they
propose TO put McNally upon il.
The plan was set up yesterday afternoon,
to run him for senator. lie had first been
mentioned as suitable candidate for rep
resentative from his own ward the
Fourth, but he objected to this and played
for higher game. His henchmen got to-
gether and made up the following ticket.
considering after all that Mr.. McNally's
name would better come in lower on the
ticket:
For SENAToR-Clarence T. Aldrich or
w dllcT II. AuBell.
For Representatives.
First-Wiliam c. Baker
Second-P. III. Mulholland.
Third-Daniel j. McOsker.
Fourth-Dexter Gorton.
Flfth-Richard Hayward.
SiXth-P. j. Mccarthy.
Seventh-John +. Potter.
Eighth-Ray w. Burlingame
Ninth-Ezra Perkins.
Tenth-Alvah Carpenter.
AT LARGE-James McNally and Timo-
thy F. Heffernan.
After this ticket had been made up the
delegates to the city convention met in
secret caucus and switched it about so as
TO make Horace A. Kimball the candidate
for senator. dropping Dexter Gorton, in
the Fourth ward and substituting James
McNally's name, dropping John f. Potter
in the Seventh and taking up Robert +.
Carroll, dropping Ezra Perkins in the
Ninth aud leaving the place open until a
secret caucus can he held before the CON
vention meets tomorrow night. and firing
off Aivah Carpenter of the Tenth to make
room for William j: Burton, placing Car
penter at the foot OF the list with George
+. Daniel, OF the Third ward as delegates
at large.
Thus Mr.. McNally will represent his
own ward and stand or fall on the merits
of a Fourth ward Democrat.
Mr.. himball, the probable nominee for
Senator. has the distinguished honor of be-
ing defeated candidate for gubernato-
rial honors. He is manufacturer of
wooden goods and has the reputation in
his part of being phlegmatic and slow of
action as a politician.
"Col." Isaac Hahn, of kerosene torch
light fame is out in the cold world He
wanted and said that he was going to have
the nomination for Senator. He promised
to work up Democratic boom among the
Polish Jews if he got the nomination.
Will he boom the ticket chosen by the
McNally faction? Doubtful!

Ihe Telegram WIN Ever Oppose NIcNaIly.

Mr. McNally's friends have been very
solicitous to-day. They are extremely
anxious to find out whether the Telegram
will support Mr.. McNally. For their ben
eft the News informs them that il will
not. The only thing Mr.. McNally can do
that will satisfy his opponents in his own
party that he is willing to prove his
Democracy will be either 10 move out of
the State or give up all political ambition:
Said one of the party this morning: IL
Mr.. McNally's aim is TO help the Republi-
can party elect Senator Aldrieh, and if his
desire is TO make that election sure, he is
proceeding in just the right way. As a
Democrat he has no claims on his party.
His record in the Fourth ward in the old
Common Council election days is enough
to prove this assertion"
