1t is reported that Democratic paper is
| to be established in Woonsocket. but
which wing of the party il is to represent
is not tstated.-Newport News.
Either a Carroll-Page paper or none.
All the other elements of Woonsocket
| citizenship are pretty well satisfied with
the News and Reporter.
Coy Hill seems TO be electrifying the
! South.-Pawtucket Tribune.
The Tribune loves Hill for the enemies
ne has made. Some folks wouldn't.
And now Willie Russell candidly an
nounces that he will not take the presi-
dental nomination.
Then ! cant marry you, my pretty
said. Boston News.
All, but Willie would, don't you
know.
'T'm on this tour for politics and am
not ashamed TO say so.' Thus spoke
Senator David B. Hill day or two since.
1 The remark certainly has about il the
tial possibility il is the sort of thing never
heard of before. Democracy OF Mr.. Hills
sort is degenerating decidedly. j Jurnal.
Mr.. Hill is hunting ducks with brass
band and that is something that never
proves very successful.
! Electors should not lose sight of the
| fact that in voting for assemblymen they
also vote for a United States senator and
choice must be made between the present
able incumbent, Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich,
and the agent of Carroll Brennan &
Wardwell Charles III. Page. Woonsocket
Reporter.
Electors are not likely to lose sight Of
this fact. They will turn the Page
down to assist the mnemonic processes.
Whitelaw Reid if he has Presidential
aspirations should remember that Iri-
bune editors have not been successful in
getting there. -Olneyville Times.
Only one Tribune editor ever tried it
and he ran on ticket which wasn't
quite Republican. Don't judge by that
The political mathematicians OF the
New York newspapers have figured out
from the recent municipal elections in the
State that Mr. Hill would lose New York,
I
actly complimentary TO the Democratic
party of New York, which has made Mr..
Hill all he is f-Newport Mercury.
II wouldn't be safe to reckon that Mr..
Hill would run so far behind. A good
many Democrats admire successful po-
litical knavery.

When the News read this it was nat
urally frightened, and turned 10 Mar
Gus letter. Marcus begins by saving
that there are less than 1000 saloons in
New York, which is not true.
Then he refers TO some Of the
admitted, but not recent, political
IDEALS" made by Tammany with city
Republicans, and 10 the fact that such
deals-very naturally-show up well in
saloon districts. Then he asks how the
liquor dealers vote in the city Of Provi-
dence That's easy. They voted for
Potter last fall because he promised the
earth. Whether they vote for him again
or not will depend somewhat upon
whether he keeps his promise.
But all this aside from the purpose.

II 900, or 1000, if that pleases it better,
the Tribune cannot do it. The liquor
sellers are Democrats for reasons.

Journal.
Why lie? Judge Woods is all right
Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court

Unlike most Presidential aspirants, Mr..
Cleveland always means precisely what
he says.-Philadelphia Times

to secure his own nomination?-Spring-
field Union.
some OF the inherent beauties and excel
lencies of the trolley in Boston. .--Tele-
gram.
There is trolley in Providence, too.
How did it work!
II is recalled that there was a free silver
plank i'm the national Republican plat
form of 1883. upon which Harrison was
elected President and by which he has
since continued TO swear. That plank
Teads "The Republican party il in favor
of the use OF both gold aud silver ms
money, and condemns the policy of the
! Democratic administration an its efforts
TO demonetize silver."-Telegram.
Is that free silver plank? Hardly,
under present conditions. The Republi-
can party is still in favor OF the use OF
both gold and silver as money, on pro-
per ratio and with international agree
ment TO fix that ratio.
That the Republicans are ratified" Is
very evident. Telegram.
