Mayor CarroIl's Address.
FELLOW CITIzENs-W are here tonight
for Cleveland and Page and Robinson.
We are also here TO show our dIsapproval
OF the action OF the Republican General
Assembly in its sinterterence with the
Local affairs Of Pawtucket, Lincoln and
Newport. We indorse the whole OF the
Democratic platform and its candidates.
We indorse Cleveland's splendid states
manship, and caim that he ranks in ne
with jefferson, jackson, Lincoln and Til
den.
We indorse Page as a man risen from
the people; a true Democrat, a man who
has done more for his district than any of
his predecessors. We indorse Robinson
for Mayor because he has been Known to
US as boy and man, and no one can say a
word against him, while every one can
praise him.
The troubles In this city during the past
year have been wholly due to Republican
incompetency and disregard OF public and
private honor. Men have broken their
words wit "A the recklessness OF wantons.
They are unfit to represent the people
who desire To promote the interests of the
city. They have baked every attempt at
improvement, and have contented them
selves with simply opposing me and try
ing to have few policemen appointed.
That is their cslibre.
As to the national issues, 1 have simply
to say that the working man has not been
benefited by the tariff. IL any working
man can show me that he has had his
wages raised, let him come to me and
prove 1t and Will pay him one hundred
dollars.
On the other hand, il there is any manu-
facturer who contributed to the passage
OF the Mckinley bill, who has not made
more money out OF it and out 81 the labor
OF his help, who will allow me to examine
his books, ] will pay him the same
amount.
The laborer has not been benefited; but
manufacturer has.
Will Conant and the COTS say what they
have profited, and can they show that they
have raised wages?
The talk OF sharing wages at Fall River
is only one OF those great bluffs always
started Just before election. II is a "good
enough Morgan TIL after election" After
the sth OF November we will hear no moro
