sible ground to claim that he is not the
creature of Tammany is the most nat
ural inference.
1t is not likely that the public will for
get that the tariff plank approved by
the candidate, If not drafted by him,
was rejected by the Chicago Conven-
ton and that he has since indorsed the
platform as whole. His visit to New
York, the futile attempt made in his be-
half ITO placate Senator Hill and his
grovelling submission to the demands
of Tammany, will not be forgotten.
In view of these incidents, and others
that might be mentioned, it will be inn
possible for Cleveland to convince the
people that he has taken the independ-
ent stand his pretended bluff of Tam
many's latest demand is intended to
suggest. He wants to be elected, and
he is scrambling for every Democratic
vote.

A GOOD CANDIDATE.

The Republicans of the First Con-
gressional district of Connecticut have
just unanimously nominated the Hon.
E. Stevens Henry of Rockville for Con-
gress, and by SO doing they have done
credit to themselves.
Mr.. Henry is self-made man of rare
business ability, and is banker and
farmer. He has served in both branches
of the legislature and at the present
time is state treasurer. Under his
fnanciering the state tax levied on the
towns has been remitted, and the fiatter-
ing statement of the finances, made in
his speech of acceptance, is very pleas
ing to the whole State and credit to
the treasurer.
His success is practically assured,
although the district has been Demo
cratic, as he will receive the full Repub-
lican and large part of the independent
vote, and his election will be greatly to
the interest of the wage earners.

MIR. CLEvELAND,s woN,rs.

The process of swallowing the Demo-
cratic party, upon which Tammany has
been assiduously at work since the
Chicago convention, seems to have come
to stop.
The other day an emissary was sent
to the Democratic candidate to invite
him to make another visit to New York,
presumably to offer further and more
complete submission to Tammany and
have his letter of acceptance re-
vised or approved. Cleveland fatty and
brusquely refused to bulge from his
summer home, or to allow dictation or
receive advice concerning his letter.
So the story goes. 1t will probably
be denied, but it is probably substan-
TALLY true. The result will be that the
Republicans in New York will gain by
so much as Tammany's wrath will de-
tract from the working power Of the
Democracy there. What this political
element is worth cah be estimated by
all who are acquainted with the history
Of politics in New York.
This attitude of Mr.. Clevelands is
one of his favorite political postures.
Having been to New York, in response
to summons from Tammany. and
having made his submission to the
ruling spirits Of that odoriferous organ
ization, he feels safe to make this feeble
attempt to convince the people that he
Is very Independent and jealous of all of
his prerogatives.
II may be doubted il there is anything
genuine about his present attitude oI
independence. The suspicion that tn,
whole incident has been shrewdly ar.
anged to give the candidate some DOS

NEWPORT.

The governors proclamation printed
to-day calls upon the Legislature of this
State to meet in General Assembly on
Oct. 4, to take action upon the Newport
matter.
This action is, we are assured, one
that the Governor would naturally hesi-
tate before taking, and one to which only
stern necessity could compel him. In
time of profound peace well-governed
State has no need of special legislative
sessions. They are an unwelcome inter-
ruption to the steady course of affairs
But it is no ordinary case which con-
fronts us.
When Mayor whose every impor-
tant official act has been tainted with
gross frand, who has not hesitated to
use at the local polls the arts of intimi-
dation, who has juggled the votes of
freemen to defeat the expression of their
will and has committed to the flames
the damning evidence of his guilt
when such Mayor, unable longer to
stem the rising tide of popular indigna-
tion by the acts of the corruptionist and
the crime of the ballot burner, under
takes to perpetuate his power by pre-
venting an election, it is time for hon
est men of both parties to rejoice in his
certainly forthcoming discontinue, and
to welcome the special session, whose
duty it will be to allow the citizens to
say whether they want Gar Honey
longer over them or not.
For this is all that the petitioners ask.
They do not want any legislation hostile
to Mayor Honey. They simply want
every citizen of Newport to enjoy his
constitutional rights. They want to
vote.
1t may be urged that the interference
of the General Assembly is a violation
of the principles of Home Rule"
What folly! There isn't a word or
syllable in the charter of the city of
Newport which it does not derive from
the State. The General Assembly of
RHODE ISLAND AND THE PROVIDENCE
PLANTATIONS is the sovereign power in
this state and has held that power un-
broken in continuity almost since
the foundation Of the colony. To the
charter of PROVIDENCE, Newport or any
city, it can add at its will, and from any
charter it can take away. The power
exists, and the wisdom and necessity of
it is doubly apparent in time like this,
when corrupt usurper essays to put an
end to home rule, and substitute in its
place the one man power of an irrespon-
sible and intolerable tyrant.
Let the General Assembly meet. Let
every member be present, and let the
case of Newport be thoroughly, prompt
ly, fairly and dispassionately considered.

MIR. CLEvELAND's LABoR RECORD


Mr.. Cleveland was elected governor
of New York State in 1882. He re-
tanned that Office for two years, or until
elected to the Presidency Of the United
States. AS governor he had an oppor-
tunity to make record upon labor
questions. Here is portion of it
He vetoed the Mechanics Lien bill. 1t
has since become a law, and its consti-
tutionality is unquestioned.
He vetoed the Tenement House Cigar
bill, which was asked for by labor rep
resentatives as well as by physicians
wishing preventive of disease. That
is also now law.
He vetoed the Five Cent Fare bill as
applied to the elevated railroads. The
fare has since been voluntarily reduced
to five cents by the companies, so that
the constitutional question hasn't arisen.
He vetoed the Child Labor bill, de-
signed to remedy crying evil. That,
or similar bill, has also since become
law.
