NEWPORT, Feb 1s-Said n prominent
Republican last night! 1T seems to me L
have heard more talk about the PROVE
DENcE News tonight than / would have
| thought possible considering the paper has
been established so short time" And
| no wonder! 1t is liked not only by MEM
bers OF the party whose organ it is, but is
read with interest here by all classes of
citizens without regard to political creed
or belief The News to-day has the sec
ond largest circulation in Newport, of the
several Rhode Island papers that come TO
town, and Will soon lead in circulation.
This is no idle statement, but can be
backed up by facts and proof, If necessary.

that the Hon. Charles Acton Ives shall
nave place on the State ticket. OF course
the Honey faction pooh-pooh this, but it

names of prominent wealthy Democrats
were to given who are supporting the
clean element Of that party in coming out
it will be wise for the heelers and bosses
To read the writing on the wall" else
they will bitterly regret 1t when the day
of reckoning comes in April next. A call
is already being circulated for signatures
for a meeting to rebuke the present ID. Il.
good authority stated last night that it
would be very easy matter TO start here
an independent Democratic club with
membership at the outset of not less than
200 members. The Britsh-Amercan ele-
ment, who put Honey where he is TODAY,
are feeling awful sore at his blind folly in
ignoring anything that pertains TO con-
servatism in his actions and his reckless
disregard of public opinion.
