DINNER TO JUDGE PUTNAM
rendered by the Providence Bar Associa-
ton Saturday Last.

The Providence Bar Club observed its
tenth anniversary at the Narragansett
Hotel in that city Saturday evening, by
rendering mplimentary dinner to
Hon. William L. Putnam of Portland. AS
Rhode Island is included in the judicial
district assigned him this dinner was in
the nature of a welcome on the part of
the local bar.
The affair proved to be one of the
pleasantest and jolliest in the history of
the organization. Forty-two gentlemen
sat down to the tables. President Mich
olas Van Slyck presided, and opened the
post prandial exercises with a cordial
welcome to their guest of the evening,
promising the hearty support of the
Rhode Island bar.
Judge Putnams response made most
pleasing impression. His remarks were
entirely informal, ''for," said he, "my
appointment not having been confirmed
as yet, am sort of nondescript, be-
ing neither a Judge nor practicing at
torney, and for that reason I shall speak
in an informal way" He continued in
speech trimming with good natured OBJ
servations upon the new position he had
been called upon to occupy, and sat
down amid much applause.
Hon. George NJ. Carpenter, judge of
the United States Circuit Court, followed
with an extended and comprehensive adj
dress, reviewing the history of the club,
and making some valuable suggestions
as to the future.
The next and last speaker was ex-
Chief Justice Durfee. His address was
in quite poetic vein.

TO keep YOUR

head COOP is not difficult at this
season, but the rest of that good advice
''and your feet Warm,'' is more of an
undertaking, unless You are the pos
SCISSOR of one of our Hot Water Bottles.
Wefrequently hear it said: ''They have
borrowed mine all over the neighbor-
hood since there has been so much sick
ness" Why not have one of your own,
so as not to borrow; they don't cost so
much as they did once, and it is i'm
possible to foresee the exact moment
when its use will be required to ease
some ache or pain.
The hot flatirOn, wrapped ina news
paper, may accomplish the same re-
suit, but there is the delay of heating
it and besides it is out of date.
Don't you need another lung prOtec-
tor now that actual winter is with us.
We have filed in the assortment once
more ON account the cold snap that has
arrived.

THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.

| dorh, that Senator Hill has tho
| New York delegation 10 tho Chicago oon'e"-
| .,.,o- - ,ha hollow of his hand tie mas
hoIa 80 lever. and tho machine ID abso-
| lutelv under his control. He can determine
tho date OF conventions, and can map out
u,hat programme he wishes his convention to
observe He is IN a word, as matters now
stapd in himself the Democratic party of the
Empire state Of tho Union.
On the 22d day OF next February Mr.. Hill
will call the Democracy Of his State in con-
vention. and can, il he chooses. elect delegates
70 Chicago favorable TO himself and antago-
nist!c TO ex President Cleveland. But i must
be remem bered that Mr. Cleveland also has
tremendous force behind him. for the rank
and flo CT the Democratic party OF the Union
honor him to the point of reverence as being
the first Democrat who was able TO break the
power Of the Republican party, aud the hrst
President since the war to give the country
pure non-sectional. patriotic. untarnished
and untarnishable administration. Mhle
therefore, Mr. Hill may be very powerful IN
New York, as for his eminent services To MS
party in the State ne deserves to be, he should
not lose sight of the fact that his great riyal
is also very powerful, not only n tLat state
but throughout the entire land.
Under these circumstances Will 1t be wise
in Mr.. Hill to send anti-Cleveland delegates
TO ChicagoY Should he do so he Will so
grievously offend tie friends Of Mr.. Cleye-
land elsewhere that he Will certainly defeat bis
own nomination and drive the party to seek
candidate outside of New York, and IN all ike
lihood compel them 70 goWest. The sentiment
of the Chicago Convention Will almost surely
be either for Cleveland or a Western man.
The West wants the candidate, but they also
want tariff reform, and while they will gladly
accept Cleveland as the acknowledged champ
ion of tariff reform. if they cannot get him
they will demand tariff reiormer OF their
own.
Perhaps Blr Hill knows this, and reasons
that SO long as he can control New YORK. he
can dictate the candidate from the West. be
the power behind the throne and be able
to lay the triggers for bis own nomlna-
ton in 1896 He should reflect however
that if be is the sterling Democrat he boasts
Of being he will. by so doing run
the risk of fatally destroying his party by dis-
sension. and if he ever expects preterment at
the hands Of the Democracy of the Union he
cannot afford to place himself IN any such
position. His own election in 1884 when he
carried the State for himself but lost 1t for
Cleveland, has already caused the uni
versal impression that he may boast
that he is Democrat, but that he belongs to
that class of politicians who, if they cannot
rule. are willing and anxious to destroy.
Mr. Hill had better take warning and be
careful how he acts lie has shown himself
already to be Samson strong enough TO pull
down the pillars Of the Democratic temple.
but the next time he exerts himself in that
direction he will. in all probability, like Sam
son OF old, also bring about his own destruc-
ton.
