station being pitiful to hear.
The names of the five men are William

A MATTER OF FACTIONS.
Politics in East Greenwich is Very
Much Mixed.

EAST GREENWICH, May 2y-Noticey are
out calling the Democrats to meet in eau
Gus for the purpose of nominating town
held next Thursday evening at o'clock,
and thereby hangs tale. In local politi-
cal matters there Is no such thing here as
straight party politics. fhe tickets for
town officers is made up every year from
both the Republican and Democratic
parties, and for the last two years even
the Assembly tickets elected have been of
the same sort-one Democrat and one Re-
publican, and this, too, in "A town where
there is clear Republican majority of
a hundred and fifty.
The town caucuses are usually held but
two or three days before election. usually
both the same night, committee Is APP
pointed by each party to report ticket
at the opening OF the polls on election day.
and these committees get together aud

Democratic party has been a unit, now it
has "A Murray faction aud McKenna

Allen factions in the Republican party.

TWO IdcJlOuS III tue Otuer party. Inc Nc
Kenna and Allen parties pull together
and the Murray and Tilley factions ditto.
At the last caucus the McKenna party
captured the machine and the calling Of
their caucus thus early is regarded as an
Allen move, made for the purpose of Sc
curing q longer time in which to arrange
a combination ticket and prepare the line
Of battle. The other side has made no
outward move as vet, but the guns are be-
ing loaded, and IL the fight comes on It
will be the hardest fought battle in years.
There will be a good supply of ammuni-
tion on each side and will be fight to
the finish.
The question the average citizen is ask
ing himself Is this: What is this all
about. There Is not an Office in the gift
Of the town that is either an honor as an
emolument. and scarcely one for which
candidate can be found without great
persuasion and trouble. Why, then, this
bitter contestr The question of selling
the franchise of the streets for electric
lighting purposes is no longer an
issue because bill passed by
the General Assembly last week
grants to the Narragansett Electric Light
Company of Providence the right to the
use of the streets in any city or town in
the State Tor the purpose -ot carrying
their business, and this makes it impos-
sible for the town to sell the franchise to
any other lighting company.
This takes the real bone of conten tion
out of our local fight and ought to result
In some sort of a compromise by which an
Independent Council could be agreed upon.
The people are heartily sick Of the eternal
political strife in this town.

sherman, Of Somerville. :.
The officers OF this company have had
large experience in the life insurance
field, and the board of directors are men
OF the highest business standing.
This company originated with Messrs.
Durham e. Trafford, who for the past five
or six years have been managers of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of New
York for Eastern Massachusetts and
Rhode Island. During this period they
have seen ademand among the poorer and
middle class of people for policy which
would give them all the advantages which
the wealthier classes have so long re-
ceived from the old line companies, aud
and having received sufficient encourage
ment from the leading business men of
this section, they presented "A bill 10 the
Rhode Island Legislature at its January
session, and the charter was granted them
Feb 26 1892
The reason for incorporating the COM
pany here was, that it seems proper that
Providence, the second largest city in
New England, should have an institution
OF this kind as the insurance carried in
Rhode Island averages per capita more
than in any other State In the Union.
The company has a guarantee capital OF
100000, but will do business as provided
in its charter, on the purely mutual plan
and will offer to insurers on the most
liberal terms all the approved forms of in
vestment policies which have done so
much to popularize life assurance and
have so rapidly built up the old line New
York companies.

the considerable losses by floods which,

THE PLUMBERS STRIKE.
One Master Plumber Grants the
Demand and Others Willing.

At last there seems to be chance that
the plumbers strike may soon be ended.
James Davis e. Son, whose shop is at 1877
Eddy street, have agreed to pay the de-
mands Of the journeymen plumbers for
one year namely, at the rate OF $3.50 for
a day of nine hours and eight on Saturday
for first-class men and So per day for
Others
Several other master plumbers have sig
nifed their willingness to sign such an
agreement and will soon be given an OPP
portunity by the executive committee of
the journeymen. This looks as If the
strike would soon end, as the shops that
make the concession will be able TO do the
work and consequently will get all the
work, which will cause the others to fall
in line in order to hold their trade. The
Journeymen are very confident that this
state of things will soon exist, and are
very cheerful over the outlook.
