Comment on the Colds
worthy BombsheIl.
1.-TWO JOHNS" OF LINCOLN.
Republicans. Beginning n Gear Testi-
mony of Their Own Perfdy.

The old saying OF "When rogues fall
out honest men get their dues" was ex-
emplihed in this village a few evenings
ago in relation to local politics. It had
been announced for some time back that
Judge Goldsworthy would address the
local British American Association on
local affairs.
And, OF all the men in Central Falls,
who should be the presiding genius at the
meeting but John Bloomfield, who like
the Judge has had few grievances lately.
1t is a we'll known fact, however, that
both Johns were in high glee at the
eviction OF Town Clerk Edward NJ. Smith
and the seizure OF the Town House in 1891.
One received mis- reward in the shape of
the Probate Judgeship and the other
something in the special liquor officer line.
Since then, however, more tractable party
men have been found or men with big
ger "pull" to fill their places and they,
knowing the incapacity of the Republic
can managers, do not propose to be still.
The Judge the other evening, after
criticizing the capacity OF the "town
fathers" for the offices they hold, con-
tinued by saying that the"Crow bar" Coun-
ell had an excuse for asking for an addi-
tional highway appropriation in the fact
that they succeeded a Democratic ad-
ministration and it was popular to raise
the cry of mismanagement against that
party and all the funds asked for could be
had on that cry.
lie claims, however, that it is we'll
H.. ~
tion for this year, which was the largest
in the history OF the town, is already, be-
fore four months OF the year are spent, al
most completely exhausted. Upon what
plea will they come for an extra appro-.
priation now2 Certainly 1t cannot be on o
plea OF Democratic extravaganza for the
Democrats were evicted over year ago.
The Judge wound up his arraignment of
the present Republican manipulators of
the town OF Lincoln in the following
words:
."If local matters were so regarded and
worked for at the primaries with the
earnestness that man pursues his private
business, the party manipulators, Micaw-
| ber. like, would be out Of a job, and they
could not secure for themselves more
| than their lawful share OF power and pos
| session, which was never theirs by virtue
Of superior ability, skill or fitness, but
came to them through audacity and cum
| ming artfully applied to your credulity."
The lecture has been very freely COM
mented upon since its delivery and many
OF the Republicans have begun asking
themselves il they are not victims Of the
duplicity OF men whom they have for
years learned to look up to in political and
| town affairs. As for the Democrats, they
are in high glee over the fact that men in
the ranks of the Republican party are be-
ginning to bear public testimony to the
| truth OF the charges made by them years
| ago.
