party was in three sections One, the
major portion. was In the upper hall. do
voted to coat room purposes the second
largest portion was in the little reception
parlor to the left of the stage. while the
minority sat under the left gallery and
there Mayor Honey expounded for The
benefit and edi6cation of chosen lew
what he and his colleagues were attempt
ing to do in the City by the Sea. He was
feeling particularly sore over the action OF
the Republican legislators in cutting of
his 1926, 900 bond issue.
Mayor Honey chose this opportunity,
also, to get in his work in opposition to
Messrs. Carroll and Brennan. and he was
earnest i'm his requests that the gentlemen
from the country towns should send
Cleveland delegates to the State convcn-

the party assert that he has been quietly
working Hill boom.

nervously, while Jack just looked dou-
ble-edged daggers at Honey.

respectable round of applause when their
favorite's letter Of thanks was read; but
when Grover Cleveland's letter was read
then there was demonstration, ana no
mistake. Three long rounds OF applause
were given Then the Cleveland men
stood up and cheered and waved their nap
kins and, as il desirous OF rubbing it in,
they gave three hearty cheers and tiger,
facing the known-to-be Hill men as they
did so. Emphatically they seemed to say:
yah, we're on TO your pitching"
"Yon can put 1t down as correct" said
one of the banqueters, that this is
Cleveland crowd. and that il represents a
great big Cleveland contingent through
out the Democratic party. Cleveland out
numbers 10 10 1 the Hill men, and the
anti-free coinage men outnumber the sill

Rhode Island Democracy will stand for
Cleveland and honest money, this year,
and don't you forget it..

delegates thus far chosen TO the Demo-
cratic State Convention, are in favor of
