PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 4-The Repub-
mean state campaign reached climax to-
mignt at a dinner given to Secretary
Tracy BY the Young Mems Re-
puoilcan Club of Providence. at
infantry hall, where covers were
iaid for 1,140 guests. Secretary
Tracy and Senator Aldrich sat on the
right and left of President Kendall, sur
rounded by a distinguished company on
the platform. Tracy, IN the course
OF his speech, referred to the
work of the present administra-
ton, and said the coming presidential
election would be largely influenced by
the Judgment which the country passed
upon the president and the administra-
ton. He said that since the days OF JEFF
ferson and Madison no administration had
encountered so many difficult questions
OF foreign policy. Tracy then took up each
cabinet department, and the remainder of
the address consisted of review of the
achievements of each.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 4.-Preparatory
work for the election on Wednesday is
about over. Indications point to the cleo
ton of Republican majority in the legis-
lature. The state ticket is likely to fail of
election and the Democrats may have a
slight plurality. This, however, will be of
no avail If the legislature is Republican.

were as follows:

modified or changed the plans a
little from those outlined by the

pears that he will offer no objections.
Whitlaw Reid, minister to France and
editor of the New York Tribune, is the
man referred to, and it is believed that if
he will consent to run, the nomination
can be secured for him. and, in the event
that ne is nominated, he will probably be
strong enough to bring to his support the
wealthy business men and politicians of
New York and poll the full vote through
the state on election day. There are some
politicians who are inclined to poke fun
at Mr. Reds alleged candidacy, but that
he would be strong man on
the tail of the ticket is not doubted
by men who know the exact political
situation in Washington at this time. 1t
is now believed that there is a decided
movement in the interest of Mr.. Reid,
and if Mr. Harrison is placed at the head
of the ticket it need surprise no one if Mr..
Reid is his running mate. There is no
stronger man it is believed, that could be
put on the ticket with Mr.. Harrison, I'M
less it is Jerry Rusk, of Wisconsin. But
in the event that New York man is not
given the second place on the ticket, there
is still great deal of fear that as strong a
man as Jerry Rusk would not be able to
pull the party out of the hole in the
Empire state, and, as has been stated, it
seems now that it will be necessary to have
New York in the Republican column in
order to insure Republican success next
November.

OF corporate interests, but any one who
knows the man knows he would not be
guided by anybody except Huson.
Ring" ard corporation" have been
shouted and met with a tardy denial,
when timely denial, couched in man
ner to convince the most stupid mind,
would have assured Mr.. Huson's election
beyond q doubt.
As it is, it is only reasonable to assume
his election by more than 800 majority.
And yet, many laboring men, many of the
laborers in the employ of the city, will
vote for Parker tomorrow under the de-
fusion that Huson is the tool of corpo "a
tons, the tool of the ring, the tool of the
Tacoma Light and Water Company-aIl of
which could have been successfully re-
futed and satisfactorily explained. With
another man, weaker and less resolute
than Huson, all of this talk about ring

In May, 1890, the last city election under

at which election Stuart Rice was
chosen mayor over William B. Al

another election was held in Octo-
Der following. when ,554 votes were cast,
OF which number George B. Kan

and Stuart Rice, Democrat, 1911 votes. In
the city elections since 1885, when the Re-
publicans first ran a straight party ticket,
but one Republican MAYOR has
been elected. being the present incumbent,

the first four years of the exist

SO far as the head of the ticket was con-

anti-Chinese, anti-monopoly fiction which
in 1875 elected Jacob C. Maun. In 1887

IF MORTON DOES NOT RUN.
Another Strong New York Man, Perhaps
Whiteiaw Reid, Will Be Named

WASHINGTON CITY, April 4-[SpeciaI i
In view of the fact that the present polit-
ical situation indicates that President Har-
rison is sure of the denomination, the
friends of the president are talking more
about the selection of candidate to run
with him than they are about the opposi-
ton to his candidacy that has been antici-
pated. While there are just as many Re-
publicans of prominence opposed to his
denomination as there were several weeks
ago, there is little chance of their being
able TO muster enough strength to prevent
his selection at Minneapolis. In some
quarters it is now predicted that
Mr.. Harrison will receive the unani-
nous vote at the national convention.
The friends of the president, however, are
beset with an obstacle in trying to select
vice presidential candidate that is likely
to pull him some strength in the present
canvass. Nearly all of his friends, who
are numbered as shrewd political manipu-
lators, believe, with some OF those who
are opposed to him, that great effort will
have to be made to strengthen the Har-
rison ticket in New York state. There is
a decided feeling of opposition to Mr..
Harrison among the leaders of the party
L II,
is no chance that any of these will en-
thuse over his candidacy. In some quar-
tiers it is maintained that he will not be
gwen the support by these men that
would be necessary TO aid the Re-
publican party in carrying that
state. The men who pay the campaign
expenses in New York must be given
some lnducement TO pun their money into
the present canvass, and that they will
not do it for Mr. Harrison alone is an
open secret. That they might do it if a
strong. well-equipped candidate was Sc
lected for the second place from that state
is believed TO be true. If Mr.. Morton
would consent TO allow his name to be
used in connection with the second place,
there is little doubt that he would be able
to secure all the campaign money that is
necessary among the business men in New
York, and also the full Republican vote in
the Empire state. 1t is expected, however,
as has frequently been stated, that Mr..
Morton Will say to the Republican lead
ers that he has had enough of the vice
presidency, and will utterly refuse to allow
his name to be used this year. With Nor
ton out the Harrison men must select
q vice presidential candidate that will bring
them as much strength as Morton would do
in order to carry the day in November.
The belief is general that it would be
still necessary for the Republican party to
carry New York in order 10 win in this
campaign. They have one other avail
able candidate for the vice presidency in
New York, provided he will allow his
name to be used, and At this time it ap-

WHAT DOES BLAINE MEANT
Persons Who Ought to Know Say He
Will Be n Candidate.


WAsHrNGTcN CITY, April 4.-[Special. i
The talk about the probability of Secre-
tary Blaine yet being considered as an
available candidate for the presidency was
renewed with great deal of yigor in GER
tain quarters of this city today. 1t has
been found that William H. Grace, of
Brooklyn, had long conference with
Blaine last Friday, as he stated in his
interview of Saturday, and it is
believed that Blaine told him, as he
told other men confdentially, that
he would place no further obstacle In the
way of his friends who desire to promote
his interests for the presidential nomina-
ton. He is willing that any state that
desires to instruct for him from this time
on should do so. He has told several men
Within the past few days, so it is claimed
att least, that he would write no further
lettefseq of deelination, and that
if the nomination came to him
at the national convention he would
accept it. Admitting that the rumors in
regard to his change of front are true, it is
considered in some quarters that he would
be unable to secure the nomination, even
if his friends made vigorous effort in his
behalf. The men who hold this view say
that he has waited altogether too long,
and that the chances are that in a square
fight President Harrison would be able to
capture the nomination. There are others,
however, who are willing to be put on rec
ord as stating that the time is yet ripe for
securing the nomination for Secretary
Blaine.
In an interview with the PosT-INTELLI-
GENCER correspondent today Senator
Washburn of Minnesota said that if
Blaine would indicate that he wanted the
nomination there is no reason in the world
why he could not be placed at the head of
the ticket. Mr.. Washburn went on to say
that the masses of the Republicans
throughout the country were very dis
heartened over the outlook for party
success this fall with President Harrison
again at the head of the ticket They
were in such a state of mind that they
would be very willing to turn to Blaine as
the Moses who would be likely to lead the
party to victory in November. Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, also gave
evidence to the effect that it was not yet
too late to begin to work in the interest of
Blaine, And he believed that it would in
dictate to the men who are inclined to work
for his interests that he would accept if
the nomination could be secured for him
at Minneapolis. Senator Hansbrough said
that the Western states would be willing
to swing to Blaine provided that he was in
the race and in it to stay.

TWO MEN KILLED.
One Freight Runs Into Another on the
Big Four.

Conductor William R. McGill and his
brakeman, Myers Early. were killed
in freight collision at Brook
field, fifteen miles from here,
on the Cincinnati division of the Big
Four about o'clock Thursday morning.
The two. in company with Clifford p.
Vest, were in the caboose at the time, the
train waiting for the crew to do some
switching. Afterward, while awaiting
orders another train crashed into the rear
of the freight. McGill was crushed about
the body, while Early's head was severed
from mis- body, which was also badly cut
up.
Vest, who is a GAINESVILLE, Wis, stock
man. had both feet crushed, but was not
injured otherwise. He was brought TO
this city and taken to the city hospital,
while the body of the dead conductor was
put in charge of Kregelo & Whitsett.
He leaves wife and two children
living on Linden-st. Early's body was
taken to his home in Elzabethtown.
The remain9 OF McGill will be
sent to Chicago today. The cause for
the wreck is unknown unless the
second train was running too close to the
other As there was binding snowstorm
at the time, the rear lights of the first
freight were probably dim so that the
engineer OF the second train did not see

FIENDISH CRUELTY.
An Inhuman Man and Whether
Acts of Atrocity.

PEORIA, H., March l0.-A case of
atrocious cruelty came to light today. A
little girl, nine years of age, was picked up
in the snow, in which she had fallen in a
faint. and carried into the house of a lady
connected with one of the charitable in
situations. The child SAYS she is the
adopted daughter OF VIII. Petty and wife,
who came here from Memphis few weeks
ago. They made the child peddle small
articles, and if she does not sell named
amount they prscticed the most inhuInan
tortures on her.
When assured that she would be
shielded from Petty and his wife the child
said they frequently tied her up by the
thumbs and severely beat her. Then
they would burn her arms and legs with a
red hot poker and rub salt
into the sores. Her little body
is mass of kicks. burns
and bruises from head to foot.
Petty and his wife attempted to escape
from the city tonight but were intercepted
and arrested. Thewoman had $500 sewed
UP in her dress and they pawned diamonds
valued at 81 600 late this evening. 1t is
presumed these diamonds were stolen.
There is an intense feeling growing and
they were removed TO the Jail tonight for

Kindness to n Horse.

Whenever you see a man good to his
horse be sure that man will be good to his
wife, if heaven vouchsafes to send him
one. Every day there is bright faced
young German fellow who drives up I'M
derneath the window where | write, and
have quite lost my heart to him already
by reason of his consideration for the hand
some animal he drives. He is not only
negatively kind in that he does not yans
at its mouth, high check it or nose bag it,
but he always manages to give it an en-
couraging word while he blankets it, and
never leaves it without pat and caress.
Bless your wholesome heart, my red
checked blue eyed young fellow, would
stake my last dollar on the steadfastness
and strength and genial good fellowship of
your nature. Other men may know more
and make longer and more definite mark
on the ledger of time, but a kind heart is
remembered when shrewd brain is for
gotten.-Chicago Herald.
