Forty-sixth Meeting of the American
Home Missionary Association.

Forty-sixth Meeting of the American
Home Missionary Association.
HARTFORD, Conn. Oct. 26-About 500
people are in attendance on the forty
sixth annual meeting of the Amer lean
Home Missionary Association in the Cen
tire Church to-day.
The meeting begun last evening, and
will extend through this evening and to-
morrow.
The Rev. DIR. Frederick N. Noble of
Chicago presided.
The principal address this forenoon was
by Senator Platt OF Meriden on "The
Negro Problem"
Senator Platt said that from political
point OF view this problem ,was without
solution. Legislation has failed. "The
chains were stricken from my hands, but
nothing has availed to prevent the preju-
dlces OF the white man against the black
and to-day the race is as truly a seryile
class as ever before.
From the religious side there NAV be
some hope. The negro is naturally re-
ligious. His religion is emotional and
not OF the highest type, but as he grows
IN education his religion will improve.
Another great factor is work. Teach
the Negro to work with tools, teach him
to invent and teach him frugality and
take my word for it, he can no longer

now modern prejudice confines him.
Ihe Rev. DIR. Twitchell of New Haven
moved a vote of thanks to Senator Platt.
who he called "A noble. Christian states
man." In Introducing Senator Plat
Chairman Noble alluded to him as one
who had stood up loyalty against that
shameful aud unchristiau Chinese re-
stricJion bill.

.ALDRICH ON The TARIFF
Rhode Islands Senator Addresses
Connecticut Voters.
HE SPEAKS AT WEST WINSTED.
Protection shown to Have Built Up
Manufactures in the State of Wooden
Nutmegs, as Well as In All the
Other States.

WEST WINsIEn. Conn, Oct. 26=Sena-
tor Aldrich OF RHODE ISLAND addressed
the Republicans here last night. The
prospect of listening to the champion OF
protection brought in many people OF the
neigh boring towns, aud when the appoint
ed hour arrived the rink was crowded.
Senator Aldrich explained in detail the
necessity at this election of securing to
the Republican party complete control Of
all branches of the federal government.
"The great danger" he said, exists in the
declared revolutionary attitude of the
Democratic party. In no particular does
it threaten more than in the question or
the tariff.
Fortunately their revolutionary pur-
pose was so clearly defined in the Chicago
platform that there can be no mistake as
to it's character. Notwithstanding the
unparallel era of prosperity III every in-
dustry. even in the midst OF a preslden-
tial campaign, they propose TO do away
with all this aud substitute for it "a doubt-
full theory.
"They try to screen il. To cheat you
into the belief that they do not mean 1t,
in your State the convention has adopted
plank radically opposed to the tarih
utterance OF that framed ia Chicago. and
on their banners wrote No Free Trade ,
Doyou believe that the avowed purpose
of the national party will be swept away

on their part TO catch your votes.
"In this wonderful valley have been
astonished at your prosperity aud pro-
gress At Ansouia l found the large brass
manufacturers successfully competing
with Paris i'm artistic productions. Here,
too. you are producing the higher grades
of cutlery and hosiery IA never before.
Here lies the future of New England, ana
il is only this purpose that the Mckinley
bill aimed To secure The increased duty

goods the luxures of consumption, and
reserve to the workmen of America the
high prices that come only from the
wealthier class.

petitor. Iu Ansonia / saw two cases that
illustrate fully this situation. One was
brassworker who had worked in Eng
land. While there he had three rooms,
with bare floors, aud none OF the Injuries

home to himself, with carpets and

THE other was cutlery worker, who
in the unsettled condition before the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill, returned to

ing them TO send him money To come

Boston, Oct. 26-At meeting OF the
directors Of the Boston and Maine to-day,
it is given out that President Mcleod of
the Reading was elected president of the
Boston and Maine system.
This means the biggest railroad deal
that has been made in New England for
years.
1t is stated that an agreement has been
signed by the New York and New Eng
land. Reading and Boston and Maine, by
which the three are to be run under one
management
There are 1900 miles of road involved.
and will give one great new trunk line to
the West.
President Jones presided at the meet
ing of of the Boston aud Maine direc-
tors.
William f. Hart. director, resigned
the vacancy.
President Jones then resigned his Office
and Mr.. Mcleod was in very few
moments chosen to fill his position.
Mr.. Jones was, at the new presidents
suggestion, then elected to the Office of
chairman of the board of directors.
The alliance OF the three roads has
created u great sensation.
There were present at the meeting
President Jones, the Hon. w. c.. Whit.
ney and G. c. Haven OF New York, Gen.
S. c. Lawrence. J. S. Kicker, A. w. Sui
loway. Richard Olney. Walter Hume
well, j. w. Sanborne and j. III. White.
DIR. Webb and w. L. Hart were absent.
Archibald A. Mcleod. the new presi-
dent, says the alliance between the Read
ing and Boston and Maine will be very
much of the nature of that now existing
between the Boston aud Maine and the
Canadian Pacific
Mr.. Mcleod further says:
There can be no doubt but the Read
ing system 5000 miles of road with one
arm reaching to Buffalo and the great
lakes, and the most extensive fleet of
vessels plying these waters, with
inmate traffic relations with the
various big lines of railroad
reaching all parts of the west and north
west. and the Others reaching the
south and southwest through Philapel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington will be
Of still greater advantage to the Boston
e. Maine than the Canadian Pacific.
'1t will in no way interfere with any of
the existing alliances"

FEDERAL SUPERVISORS, WORK.
They Find Many Disqualifications From
Death, Removal, Etc.


Death, Removal, Etc.
United States Chief Supervisor of
Elections John L. Blodgett has appointed
the federal supervisors of elections in
Woonsocket as follows;
First district, Ira W. Arnold and George
l.. Jenison.
Second district, Erwin j. France and
John h. Brown.
Third district, Charles NJ Newton and
Thomas +. Cavanaugh.
Fourth district. John III. Higgins and
James III. Coyne.
Fifth district. Winifred II. Smith and
Richard NJ. BARTLETT.
Four of these are Republicans. three
Democrats and three Prohibitionists.
They will be sworn later, and as Woon-
socket has over 10000 Inhabitants they
will be paid s. a day.
The supervisors in PROVIDENCE and
Pawtucket are hard at work on the vot-
ing lists. In this city. they have done "A
great deal of work. As fast as they get
ten disqualifcations in district they re
port TO Chief Supervisor Blodgett by
placing the blank reports in envelopes
ana mailing them.
Out OF he number Of cases OF disouali-
fication already reported, Mr.. Blodgett
says large proportion are of men who
are dead, but whose names have remained
on the lists, thus giving someone who
might be looking FOR IA chance To commit
n fraud an opportunity TO 20 and vote on
the name, which he might do il the cleo
tion officers did not happen To know that
he was not the man. In some cases, Mr..
Blodgett says, the names of men so well
known that their deaths were "A matter of
public interest, ars still credited with
being voters.
Some men are reported To have left the
city, and some have even returned to
Europe, aud there are cases where men 4
names are on the list in one ward when
they live in another. The supervisors
are instructed to see to this, AMI get the
names transferred TO their proper places.
as under the United States law IL is
equally an offence at ~ Congressional
election 10 vote in the wrong place as to
vote without the right to do SO. The
changing OF the name doesn't affect the
mems right to vote, but puts them in the
right places.
There are also many men who have
registered in the wards where their bus-
ness is, which Is wrong, and they will
have TO 20 TO the ward where they live.
The federal supervisors are not so much
interested directly in this as the CITY
would be. because the men would only
vote for congressman. anyway, but in
the city elec ion it would make great
deal of difference. Such names will also
be reported to the canvass board for ad-
justment.
In four wards ont OF ten already re-
ported In this city there are many names
of men who are Ou both the registry and
property lists. They have right To vote
only on one aud the supervisors will see
that they are placed on one or the other
as may be found proper With the name
standing on both lists men with evil de-
signs might 20 and vote on one ana the
rightful ow ner OF the name on the other.

DEMOCRATIC TRICK.
Ont In Pawtncket They are Trying n Citi-
Zens' Ticket Dodge.

Now that the primary meetings for the
coming election in Pawtucket have all
been held and the two opposing parties
have selected their standard bearers, or
at least enough of them to admit of a sat
isfactory con parison, the relative strength
of the two tickets may be compared.
IL is true that in some OF the wards the
city council ticket for one side or the
other has not yet been selected, but this
state of affairs exists only in the ward
where such party is In the minority. aud
the strength or weakness of the ticket
would not materially affect the result.
Three wards are almost sure TO go Repub-
lican and two. Democratic whatever the
makeup of the ticket may be.
or the three Republican wards the
First ward is the only one where il is
worth while for the Democrats TO make
fight. Here the Republican majority Is
very small COMPARED with the otaer two
Republican wards, and thus it is ALWAYS
considered the fighting ground in the
lnunlclpal campaign. III the Democrats
can carry this ward they have a majority
in the City Council. So it is not to be
wondered at that they try every means 10
bring about this very desirable result.
This year they have resor, ed 10 novel
method. AT the caucus held for the nom
ination OF a City Council ticket the nom
ination OF such ticket was left in the
hands OF colnmlttee OF five appointed by
Mayor Carroll. Then. after the Repubii-
cans had nominated their ticket on Mon
day evening 1t was announced that the
Democrats In this ward would put no
tickets into the field; but simultaneously
with this announcement came another to
the effect that a Citizens ticket had been
introduced ia this ward, and the names
OH that ticket were made public. The can
didate mentioned for Alderman aud one
of the CounciImen are kenublican while
the other two Councilmen are Demo
Gratis. The Democrats hope by this ma
n@uvre To defeat the Republican ticket
III this ward, virtually admitting that
they can do it In no other way.
The vital point of comparison between
the two municipal tickets comes between
the candidates for mayor. And yet, in
the present campaign IL may be said that
comparison between the two candidates
is out OF the question. 1t is admitted
even by the Democrats themselves that
the Democratic candidate has nothing in

Pawtuxet Valley Politics.

Preparations for one of the biggest Re-
publican rallies ever held In Scituate are
now being made and Harrison and Reid
flag will be thrown TO the breeze in Hope
village tomorrow evening. Numerous
speakers, among whom are the Hon. Adm
Is. Capron, will be in attendance aud red
fire will be burned in large quantities.
1t was generally understood that n
Democratic rally would be held at
ODonnell's nall on School street last
evening. but owing to the amount of
funds raised being so small no flag was
thrown TO the breeze aud the meeting
was postponed.

DEAD MEN ON VOTING LIST.
The Cleveland Club I'm the Tenth Ward

Nights Democratic Reform Meeting
state Republicans to Await the Fun
eral Service,

The long postponed municipal election
in Newport is now in full swing and both
parties are working like beavers to get In
their early voters. 1t is to be n fight to
the finish, with no quarter on either side.
Ever since Gov. Brown convened the
Legislaf ure several weeks ago, active
preparation has been going on for to-
DAVIS fight SO that at 10 o'clock last night
the streets and political clubs were de-
serted, both leaders and workers retiring
early to rest for the morrow's battle.
Before daybreak, however, this morn
ing. il was quite evident the fight was To
be a keen one aud at each polling place
there assembled an unusual crowd of
workers waiting for the opening Of the
polls at $50.
A year ago Mr.. Honey. with all the
power of attraction contained in his
demagogue appeal against SO called ex-
orbitant water rates lacked about forty
OF an election and at that time he un-
doubtedly had not only the independent
vote, which Is no small factor in in New
port, but many Republican voters cast
their ballots in his favor under the in
fuence OF the then prevailing agitation.
Since that time, however, things have
changed considerably, aud for the first
time In its history the voters of Newport
have been disfraGchised-bu these extra
ordinary do ngs have already been chron-
icled, not only in the state papers, but
throughout the United States. The Leg
isiature met and fixed this as the day
when municipal officers should be elect
ed, and the voters are now engaged in
that business, but az TO the propects of
victory TO either side. no man can say, as
the canvas of the wards was only finished
on Monday, so that the voting lists were
not public property till late yesterday.
Taking "a careful and dispassionate
view of recent events aud the opinions of
men of .veracity and standing, there
seems to be every ground for saying that
Jeremiah w. Horton, the Republican
standard bearer will be the next mayor
of Newport.
AS regards the school board ticket it is
safe TO predict that the Kephblica will
capture three out of the four seats and
possibly make a clean sweep. In this
particular the Democrats have forcibly
and pointedly put up ticket that is
essentially and wholly strictly partisan.
and this introduction OF politics into
school matters will rely be rebuked
The Republicans are confident of carry
ing the council and possibly the board OF
aldermen, SO that on the whole "a general
Republican victory may Confidently be
predicted.
