reason to be proud, when in the pre- sent
year and when the eyes OF all the people
OF the entire country were watching

governor and lieutenant governor by a
popular vote, had secured n majority in
both branches of the legislature, had
Aldrich and had placed Rhode Island not
in the doubtful column, not In the Demo-
cratic column, but in the Republican
column where she belonged.
In the national convention whether it
was Benjamin Harrison or James q.
Blaine, the prince of statesmen. who
should be nominated, Rhode Island would
give that hearty support which the ma
tional party had a right To expect OF her.
The results of the last State eiec ction
had shown what the Republicans Of
Rhode Island could do when they 20 into
a contest determined to win.

education which a alad IN tho infalli-
gences of the people rather than to their
