Providence Journal.
You have friend, esteemed contem-
porary, who halls from Texas and whose
front name is Roger. One OF his sublim-
est efforts at oratory has passed into
history; 1t runs as follows: "Go 'ome
and soak yo' cad - This isn't meant for
Lawlor, who is foolish enough In all
conscience, but whose head will be
soaked many times without personal
effort before he gets off the bounding
pillows but is recommended as u PEN
ance for Your cheap scorn OF vital things.
A good many wrongs are doubtless not
yet righted, but society Is getting around
To- them In very able and expeditions
manner --Worceste Spy.
Able, possibly expeditions, hardly.
A snail can hustle, but even then its
rate of progress is not sensational.
The Republican party has splendid
material for the presidency, IN the names
which are at the front in Minneapolis,
and while we should prefer to see Presi
dent Harrison renominated, we have no
doubt but that the Republican conven,
tion will name candidates who can and
will be triumphantly elected In Novem-
Union.
Sturdily sensible as always. The NEWS
would prefer to see Blaine nominated,
but It will give its heartiest support to
Harrison or Mckinley or any strong and
worthy Republican.
Mr.. Blaine is very economical OF sta
tionery just at a time when his friends
and enemies alike wish 10 hear from him.
Newport News.
Well, they've heard; heard twice
since Saturday.
Mr.. Blaine's reasons for deciding to per-
NIT first-class row at Minneapolis
would be extremely interesting reading
just now.-Providenc Journal.
Who's rowing; anybody but the Mug
wumps? Republicans are serene.
If it is Blaine, then hurrah for Blaine
II it Is Harrison, then hurrah for Harri-
son. We are ready and eager to work de-
votedly for either, and so is every other
Republican in the land. There will be no
sulkers i'm the tents this year. At the
bugle call to duty every soldier will re-
spond with ready and cheerful "here,"
and the lines will stay unshaken and un-
broken to the end. which will be victory.
bridgeport News.
So say we all of us. This is Repub-
lican year.
In the event of Blaine's nomination at
Minneapolis he Is likely to be Obliged to
state his views upon the silver question.
1t will be interesting to learn his opinion
upon most vital question, In regard to
which he has hitherto maintained alb
solute silence.-Newport Herald.
More rubbish! Blaine hasn't been in
the Senate and lamed himself hustling
out of it every hour or two to avoid a
vote on the silver question. He'll speak
fast enough when me has occasion.
Democrats can look on with undis-
Ruised amusement and the utmost conf
placency at the wrangle in the Republi-
can ranks over the presidential nomina-
tions.-Woonsocket Evening Call.
The shoe will be on the other foot
presently. Just s*ait till Hill and Cleve-
land get after each other at Chicago.
And there is the necessity of the most
cool and careful deliberation In order TO
avoid dangerous party rupture. There
is need of a large measure OF discretion,
steadiness and good temper on the part
of the delegates who are charged with the
responsible duty of making a choice of
party candidates. es.-Fall River News.
And was there not evidence Of all
these things in Fassett's speech yester-
day!
The Observer long ago pointed out that
such cartoons as were permitted to ap-
pear in an alleged Republican pictorial
publication largely owned by the Presi-
dents son, Russell, would, sooner or
later, compromise General Harrison.
Newport Observer,
It's not fair to hold the President re-
sponsible for them, but Judges atroci-
ties have certainly been ill-advised, It
was the worst taste possible, to use no
harsher name, for it to come out in con-
vention week with its They're after
Ne" insult to Mr.. Blaine.
The Woonsocket Reporter has gone
back to four pages again without saying
word. 1t hasn't felt the Cdll SO soon,
has it t?-Pawtucket Tribune.
The Tribune seems to have missed its
supplement. The Reporters all right.
The CdH will do it good. There's moth
ing more foolish than fear of little
wholesome competition. 1t stirs the
blood famously.
The Springfield Republican has made
famous the city 1t represents 80 ably. II
would be base ingratitude. even suicidal,
to encourage project that might tend,
even I'm q slight degree, to destroy a le-
gitimate business that has done so much
for the mere personal qualification of q
few selfish office-seekers. w oonsocket
Reporter.
Rubbish! The worst rubbish we
ever knew the bright and sensible Re
porter to be guilty of. The Springfield
Republican is making fool of itself
with its cowardly whine. Springfield
wants morning Republican paper, and
there's no conceivable reason why IL
shouldn't have one. The projectors of
the new enterprise ought to thank the
Republican for giving them good, big
free advertisement with its silly whim-
