OLD TIME ENTHUSIASM,
Delegates Elected to the State Con-
vention -Gerrymander Bill Censureds

held in Temperance Hall last evening.
There was a very large crowd present. 1t
was good natured crowd, however, and
before IL was called to order all seemed to
be simply talking over matters.
4. +. Quigley appeared on the platform
shortly after 8 o'clock and said there were
number of Democrats from the upper
district who had not yet arrived and that
the meeting would not be called to order
until they arrived.
This created storm and some one
moved to wait.
l.. G. Phillips moved to lay the motion
on the table.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons ATTEMPTED to speak but
number shouted, "sit down."
Mr.. Phillips insisted on his motion to
lay on the table, in a voice that was, in
deed, terrify ing.
Mr.. Goolay came in and said there were
sixty voters on the woy.
Chairman Quigley said he would first
read the call and organize the meeting.
Then any motion would be In order.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons moved that they delay
proceeding to business for ten minutes.
The motion was put and carried by
acclamation.
Senator Thompson and William ii. Quig-
ley were nom mated for Chairman.
w. II. McGlynn advised his friends to
vote for John N. Thompson.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons followed and said he
thought eth r man would rule fairly and
closed by saying he was for Grover
Cleveland first, last and all the time.
This created a storm OF applause.
James II. McGlynn intimated that the
ruling last year was not satisfactory.
William ii. Quigley then said that he did
not intend to run against Mr.. Thompson,
but, it having been said that his ruling
last year was not rs it should be, he
would run If he got only one vote.
A show OF hands was taken and Clerk
Degnan said IL was impossible to count
them.
Mr.. Carly objected to q ballot and said
Mr.. Thompson had been elected.
Mr. Fitzsimmcns withdrew the name Of
w. III. Quigley and moved that Mr..
Thompson's election be made unanimous.
Mr.. Thompson was greet I'd with cheers,

he would try and rule fairly.

IL. Huot for Secretary. Mr.. Fitzsimmons
seconded il and he was elected.
Mr.. Rowan moved the ten delegates be
elected as whole.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons moved "a a substitute
that "they proceed to elect delegates"
Mr.. McGlynn was in favor OF ciecting
all at once.
Mr.. Brennan was not.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons thought il would be a
good idea to give every section repre-
sentation. Mr.. Gsffney thought that
each candidate should state whether he
was for Hugh J. Carroll, the working
mans friend, or Colonel Honey Of New
port, as it was very likely that one would
be a candidate to the national convention.
The motion to elect as whole was lost
and Mr. Quigley moved that they elect
separately. rhe motion was carried by a
show OF hands.
Mr.. Greene moved that they commence
at Manville. Mr.. Greene nominated Mr..
Goulay. Three cheers were given for

land"
1t was very plain that each faction was
for Cleveland.
The result was: Harris, 139; Greene, III.
Andrew Moran was nominated as second
delegate from Manville and elected Dy
acclamation.
Frank Il. Fitzsimmons was nominated
from Lonsdale. He assembled the platform
and said that IL Mr.. Carroll wanted to go
to the National Convention, no man
would do any more for him than
he would. He dcfcd any man
to say that he ever said a
word against the Mayor OF Paw
tucket and closed by saying he was for
Cleveland as a candidate for the Pre-
sidency.
