SURELY Be ELECTED
Democratic Ticket is a
Winning One.
THE STRONGEST FOR YEARS
win be Active, Energetic and Con-
scientious Servants Of the People.

The ticket that has been nominated by
the Democratic Convention for the Gen
sral Assembly Is undoubtedly one OF the
strongest ever presented for the consid-
eration OF tho party. II is a ticket COM
posed OF active, earnest citizens, every one
Of whom has the interests OF the city and
state at heart, and all can be depended
upon to make their presence felt should
they be successful In the approaching
election. Some CT the candidates have al.
ready seen service In the He use and have
proved themselves ketive, energetic and
conscientious servants OF the people. The
now blood that has been infused into 1t
will not be found wanting II an opportu-
nifty IL given to show Its vigor and its
strength.
Much is to be expected from such men
Q, have been nominated and the voters
" Il be disappointed II their term Of SER
CO does not prove beneficial to the city
and the large majority of the people In the
State. These men are thoroughly equipped
needs OF the times and they will set legis-
lstion on foot that has been overlooked
and forgotten heretofore.
They will do the city honor, too, In tho
Legislative halls. II cannot be said that
these men are unknown In the city. They
all come from our hest class of citizens.
Such Is the ticket that has been nom
mated by the Democratic party and put
before the people for their CO consideration.
No Democrat can find fault with such q
ticket and the voter who cannot support
such men must be hard to please. In this
election It 10 the duty OF every Democrat
to support II and get bis neighbor to do
the same. II each and everyone works
faithfully for the cause therei will be no
doubt about the result.

the piece better to Providence theatre
goers than they did last night. All the

many Of whom reside In Providence, have
become so accustomed TO the play that
they acted thoir parts with the vim OF old
timers. The singing, dancing and comical
sayings OF the townsmen OF 8ucksport
elected hearty and weli-merited applause.
At the close Of the third act Mr. Golden
was called before the curtain and gave
ono of his humorous and characteristic
speeches, which seemed to please the
audience as much as the play. He said
that II was rumored about town that he
was not to appear In the cast, but he

IRISH NATIONAL FEDERATION.
Address Issued by the Providence Branch
to tn. People of Rhode Island.

Asure~s htsueu by the EEoNtutuce bFhush
TO tn. People of Rhode Island.
An address has been issued to the
"Rhode Island Friends OF Home Rule for
Ireland" by the Providence branch of the
Irish National Federation. Among other
things il says:
"The final battle for Home Rule is at
hand. The fate OF Ireland depends on The
issue. The dissolution OF Parliament and
a subsequent general election may take
place at any moment. No election has
ever occurred moro vital 10 the interests
Of the Irish people.
"About ninety parliamentary seats must
be- contested at the general election. This
necessitates campaign fund OF $4,000.
Meanwhile the evicted tenants--the
wounded soldiers-must be cared for and
protected at n monthly outlay OF $4,000"
"The three strongholds OF the Tory party
In England are the Southern counties,
part of Lancashire and the city OF Lon
don. Since the Cork elections the Devon
shire and Dorset Home Rule victories have
been won In the first stronghold. Lord
Harrington's overwhelming defeat at
Rossndale proves the change OF feeling In
Lancashire, and the success OF the Liber-
ais in the London county council cleo
tions q fortnight ago fortell the defeat
Of the Tories in their greatest stronghold.
"Wales, with one exception, will be solid
for Home Rule, and only about five OF the
seventy-two Scotch representatives will
vote against the demands OF tho Irish
people.
"The broken Home Rule pledges OF the
Tories In 's5 and their worthless skeleton
of a country government bill just brought
in by Balfour prove that Ireland cannot
expect justice from that party.
"On the Liberals alone can Ireland de-
pend. Mr.. Gladstone with majority
pledged to Home Rule will give to ire
land q bill that TO use his own express
sion, will be Satisfactory" to the repre-
ssntatives of the people of Ireland.
"ihe faithful adherence of the Liberals
to their pledges In 's8 when they
brought In Home Rule bill satisfactory
to Mr.. Parnell and the Irish parliament
ary party, their sacrifice OF power, place,
patronage and emoluments, attest their
sincerity and assure their success"
The address urges that branches OF the
Federation be formed in every city and
town and give "morsl and material sup
port" to the people In Ireland In this
crisis.
