Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1892-10-05
DAVIS WILL NOT RUN.
He is Not a Candidate
For Congress.
ROWLAND HAZARDS NAME.
Mayor Carroll's Candidacy is not in
Opposition to That Of Anyone.

The indications are that Speaker Capron
will be nominated by the Republicans OF
the western Congressional district. War
rem o. Arnold is acknowledged to be the
wsalthier man but it is generally under
stood that Adm has agreed To "pony up"
to the bosses and that the nomination is
his. IL Warren o. will put up few
thousand more than Adm has already
promised there may yet be a change in the
programme.
Ex-Speaker Wilson is out of the race,
and Colonel Bull has never been in it.
On the Democratic side, Colonel Oscar
Yapham will be nominated by the Demo-
Gratis without opposition in the first dis
trict.
In the second district there have been
several candidates mentioned. Governor
Davis has written a letter to Mayor Car
roll In which he states lie Is not a candi-
date.
Mr.. Carroll wrote to Mr.. Davis Offering
to nominate the Governor for Congress II
he consented to run. The Mayor has
nominated the Governor for every Office
to which he has been elected and would
like to nominate him for Congress IL the
Governor would accept.
The Governor absolutely refuses to be a
| candidate.
| The name OF Rowland Hazard OF South
Kingstown has also been mentioned, but
no person can say definitely that Mr..
Hazard will accept the nomination.
Mayor Carroll has authorized Chairman
! Owen OF the Democratic State Central
Committee to state that IL Mr.. Hazard
will say in writing that he will accept
the nomination he will have the cordial
support Of all the Mayors friends.
In this connection it may be said that
for several years past certain Democratic
politicians have urged the name of Mr..
Hazard in conventions in the second dis.
trict and have promised that Mr.. Hazard
would accept. But 1t has always been
found at the last moment that these peo-
pie had no right to use MIR. Hazards
name, and that some other candidate
would be sprung on the convention.
II Mr.. Hazard will consent to accept the
nomination on the platform OF the Dem
ocratic party and will agree to work In
harmony with the Democratic members
OF Congress and President Cleveland,
there is no question but that he can re-
ceive the nomination as he could have re-
ceived it at any time in the past eight
years. All that is necessary is a word
from Mr.. Hazard and he will receive the
nomination.
The TRIBUNE does not believe that Mr..
Hazard is either candidate or that he
has authorized any person to use his
name in connection with the nomination
and until Mr. Hazard makes some definite
statement 1t is entirely useless for any one
to speculate upon him as a candidate.
He is a man whom every Democrat and
every independent voter in the district
would be glad to honor, but it is not right
that his name should be banded around
until he himself makes some definite
| statement.
The only thing that is certain in this
campaign is that Mayor Carroll is a can
didate for the nomination, hut not In any
opposition to Governor Davis or Rowland
Hazard.
Governor Davis is out OF the field and
| no ptrsou has any hulHority w spedk loT
Rowland Hazard, and it will be unwise
for the Democrats to go into the conven-
tion and onve any games sprung upon
them.
1t is an open field and fair fight and
every Democrat in the district is entitled
| to enter the race. Whoever receives the
nomination by the Democrats of the
second district will be heartily supported
count.
Pawtucket Democrats hope that this
city will be represented in the next Con-
gress by one of their party.
