MOST DASTARDLY STORY
The telegram" Makes an Unwar-
rantabIe Publication.
PRINCIPAL CURRIER A VICTIM.
He Never Mentioned the Pope or the Cath
Ollie Religion at the Thornton Meeting
"A Libel Suit Threatened-The Facts i'm
the Case.

On Monday, March Q, one of the local
papers came out with a most unwar-
ranted, and to say the least most un-
truthful statement with regard to George
Currier, principal of the Johnston High
school, accusing him of making remarks
concerning the paper and the Catholic re-
ligion, at the meeting held in Thornton
last Saturday, the occasion of the organ
ization of Young Mems Republican club
at that place.
The NEWS reporter was present at that
time and heard every word that was
spoken, and can safely state that Mr.. Cur
rier made o-such remarks. and in
justice TO the Republican party and
to Mr.. s9arr, Carrier, q denial nnnal,,no OF
Everybody knows Mr.. Currier TO be a
man of principle who would not willfully
stoop to any endeavor towards creating
any race prejudices. the more so against
the Irish for whom, he affirms, he has the
profoundest respect, and again as the
NEWS man was present ar the time OF his
having made his speech, denial OF any
current report through the columns of
the News ought 10 be enough to lay aside
any odium which false rumors might
have cast upon Mr.. Currier or the party
he represents.
The following letter has been received
from the injured principal:
OLNEYyILLE, X. l., March IL.
To the Editors Of the News
As the Evening 7ele1rdm has been
making political capital out of speech attributed
10 me- Iwlsh 10 say that in my remarks at Thornton
last Saturday said nothing whatever about the
Pope or about the Catholic any other religion,
that / said nothing about the Irish ruling
America that did not say that New York is
ruled by a pack OF Irishmen," and that i said
nothing whatever dstasteful to the Irish This
! can prove by forty men. will add that the
olneyville correspondent OF the telegram has had
ample opportunity satisfy himself OF the truth OF
the abuse. l. have many friends among the Irish
people, for whose sake wish - he set right.
GEORGE ii. CURRIER.
Much Indignation is expressed in Olney-
Vile over this dartardly attempt to make
political capital out of lie-tactics re-
calling the Norey letter" of infamous
memoty.
A suit for libel is talked of.

The TICKET WON'T WALK
Very Far From Running, Says Gen.
eral Jack.
IT'S LAST YEAR OVER AGAIN,
Comstock bitterly Assailed as n Mug
wump by yeter m Democrats-A Clean
sweep rich is Safe
Mr. spooner for City Solicitor.

What do the Democrats think of the
Assembly ticket chosen last night.
Plaguey little. 1t does not suit in many
particulars.
Gen. Jack Brennan was asked, this noon,
how he thought the ticket would run.
''Run Ha! Ha! Run; why my dear
boy, il won't even walkm
There does not seem TO be much enthu-
siasm over the head of the ticket. Mr..
Comstock is hybrid; raised in good
Republican garden and transported TO a
Democratic field where tares abound and
good growths are not.
The leading Democrats, those who have
stood by the party for years, say that they
have no use for Mugwumps. They ven
ture the opinion that no portion OF the
Assembly ticket will see daylight, and that
there is longer the shadow of "A doubt as
to Senator Aldrich's reelection. Then
see in the makeup Of the ticket boom
for Samuel X. Honey for United States
Senator.
III the Democrats should carry the city
which they won't do-Mayor Honey would
claim the vote OF the Providence members
in the grand committee for himself.
For this reason a good many Democrats
are going TO vote the Republican legisla-
tive ticket. They say they will do so.
Will they? Well, they said the same thing
last year because of the faulty makeup
of the Democratic ticket, and all the Re-
publicans were elected
All of which tells in very plain Ian
guage that the devices of the bosses to
hold the rank and file up to ring-bolt are
futile under the secret ballot law.
The name OF the Hon. Henry j. Spooner
is now heard in connection with the office
of city solicitor. 1t is probable that there
will be no election TO fill the vacancy
caused by the death Of Col. Nicholas Van
SlYck until after the Snring election.
