POLITICAL BOMBSHELL.

Member Of the State Democratic Commit.
tee Charged with Grave Party Offence.
1t would appear by certain disclosures
that 1t Is strange there are any Demo-
cratic victories at all around this vicinity.
1t Is now charged that ex. Councilman
James McNslly, who is a member not only
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee but also OF the Executive Commit
tee, tried to effect deal with Col. Watson

for Mayor, whereby IL be agreed
to appoint George Ii. Burnhsm
n License Commissioner and remove
License Commissioner McCarty he could
have the support of McNally's friends
and also the support OF the Moter
Brothers, James Hanley and John f..
Good. The two former are brewers, and
In addition, Hanley is a member OF the
tirm OF Hanley, Hoye q Co., Wholesale
liquor dealers, and Good is treas
urer of the Providence Bottling Co.
Mayor Carroll OF this city and
ex-senator Congdon OF Coventry
waited on Col. Watson yesterday
and these assertions were reiterated by
Col. Watson himself, who added that he
refundiated the deal, stating that he told
them that he made up his mind that II he
could not be honestly elected by his party
he would not be elected by any deals, par
ticularly with any deal engineered by a
member of the Democratic State Central
Committee, which would be held over him
as a lash while In office.
Mrssrs. Hanlsy and Good deny that
they authorized any such deal.
Some Democrats who have heard OF this
AFFAIR say that cit her Mr.. McNally will re-
fute these allegations or they will Sc
cure his removal from the State Central
Committee.
