CRANSTON,

Tuesday afternoon the Cranston Demo
cratic town committee met at Providence
to make up the ticket to be run at the
election of June g. This step was neces-
STATED by the fact that the Democratic
caucus, after a rather short but lively ses-
sion adjourned To defeat the plans of GER
tain political intriguers, who on previous
occasions had jumped in aud carried the
meetings, leaving the work Of nominal
ing the ticket TO the committee.
AS announced in the News some time
ago, ii. Nj. Coombs. Republican, who
failed TO secure the nomination as Presi-
dent OF the Council on the Republican

ocratic list, the party hoping thereby to
bring strength TO their ranks. The re-
maindcr of the ticket Is William Cutting,
Charles Fiske, Thomas Potter, DR.. II. q.
King. Elisha Arnold AID Edwin Lewis.
Others OF these are n publicans, the so
few available Democratic candidates
forcing the party TO cross the line, aud
choose from those who were willipg To
run on their ticket. The other officers,
such as town sergeant, town clerk anu
treasurer will be filled without opposi-
tion, both sides running the same men.

that James q. Blaine should be nomi-
mated for President. and that with him as
the candidate of the Republican party
victory would be assured.
The combination of Blaine and McKin-
ley was spoken of very favorably by sew
erai, and hopes were expressed that this
ticket would receive the endorsement of
the entire party.

RELAXING OLD STONES.
Granite Strikers Get a Setback in
New York.
A VICTORY AT FRIENDSHIP, NE.
Another Company Signs the May Agree
ment-The Manufacturers Issue
Statement to the Public Setting Forth
Their Side of the DifhcuIty.

NEW YORK, May 26.-One more victory
for the strikers This time IL was the
Union Granite Company at Friendship,
Me-, that gave in and signed the May
agreement This company furnishes the
granite for the Grant Monument and the
Brooklyn Memorial Arch. Their men
will go to work Immediately. In this
city the strikers received a setback where
they expected victory.
The strikers committee, headed by
James Grant, called on Commissioner
Gilroy To repeat their offer to relay the
old stones, but were met with the news
that Contractor William Kelly was at
work on Third avenue laying the old
blocks with Italian workers. This was
great surprise. Commissioner Gilroy told
the committee that as Kelly was at work
there was nothing to be done, as the other
contractors have used the new stones by
laying them on their sides aud covering
them with dirt.
The manufacturers issued their state
ment to the public yesterday. In IL they
said that the trouble arose from the
strike of the Quarrymen's Local Union at
Westerly, X. l., on April l. for 23 cents
per hour The men at Quincy and other
points struck to aid these men. Then the
employers called a meeting of the Granite
Manufacturers Association TO consider
the situation. After full discussion it
was decided TO stop work until settle
ment could be made.
The employers offered to sign contracts
terminating December 81, hut this was re
fused. The union fixed upon May I, and
would make no other agreement.
The lockout was then ordered. o The
manufacturers reasons for wanting the
agreement TO end on January is given as
follows: THE employers when closing
their books and making the usual bust
ness statements and settlements for the
year desire to know for a certainty the
rate OF wages, hours Of labor, etc, when
entering upon the new year, and not have
their business disturbed and thrown into
confusion by possible disagreement in the
spring"
The statement concludes rs follows: If
it were true that the employers had In
any instance made demand for reduc-
tion Of wages or for an increase in hours
of labor or for change in the bill OF
prices under existing agreements there
would have been some ground Tor a charge
that employers were compelled by the as
sociation TO break agreements with the
men, but, as il is, there is none.
The employers are willing to have the
hills extended, nnt-nnly- -to-Inne l, 1893.
but even to June /. 1894, 1895 or 1896. !: SO
desired by the employees. We do re-
fuse, as we have the right to refuse, any
new agreements which do not begin OF
end with the calendar year. and no sound
or proper reason has been offered for any
other date. We are very glad to see that
some of the men are disposed TO go into
the business on their own account, foI
there Is no other remedy SO good as that
to cure "a striker OF his folly.

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
1t Organized To-Day--S Secretary COL
Iins Resigns,

The State Board of Agricultural met
this morning in the library of the State
House ana organized under the new agri-
cultural law The board is composed as
follows: Gov. Ladd, Lieut. Gov. Stearns
and Secretary of State Utter, ex-
ofiicio. William Williams of Bristol,
Obadiah Brown of Providence, Charles o.
Flagg for the State College of Agricul-
ture, Andrew X. Belcher for the Patrons
of Husbandry, Horatio w. Potter for the
Kent County Agricultural Society, Be
riah III. LawtOn for the Washington
County Agricultural Society, John j.
Peckham for the Aquidneck Agricultural
Society. Arlon Mowry for the Woonsocket
Agricultural Society and the Hon. Adm
b. Capron for the Rhode Island State Fair
Association.
At the meeting to-day there were pres
ent nearly the full board, and the resig
nation OF Secretary David ;. Collins was
accepted wish regret, together with his
statement that he cannot under any cir
cumstances accept the position for an
other year, as his position of secretary to
the State Fair Association will render it
impossible for him to give the proper
amount of time to the increased duties to
the office.
The board was very reluctant to part
with so able and willing an officer as Mr..
1Olllus udS Deeu lOr Tue past bnree years.
He has served for merely nominal sal
airy, and has devoted his time and energy
to the work, receiving practically no com
pensation. 1t is due mainly to his energy
that the Farmers Institutes were estab-
lished, and when the law was passed re-
garding tuberculosis, he went into the
work with n will to do what he could
TO root out that dread direase from Rhode
Island. There is no doubt that Mr.. Collins
could have been chosen to fill the posi-
tion this year ut salary more proper
tionate to the labor had he seen fit to ac-
cept.
There was considerable discussion in
the Board this morning regarding the
secretaryship, as TO whether a person was
needed who could devote his whole time
TO the office, or not, and finally it was
voted that Gov. Ladd appoint committee
of three TO consult on the matter and as
certain who may be a suitable person for
the important office of secretary.
The Roard adjourned about 12 o'clock
TO meet with the committee on exhibits of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, in re-
sponse To an invitation from that COM
mittee, at its room in Buffers Exchange.

Dry details Of the convention at Van.
CONVEX few people rare to read at this late
day, as the daily papers have long since
apprised all that John Collins, Of King;
G. W. GriIGS. Of Piere; Frank Hogan,
Of Spokane; II. J. Snively. Of Yakima;
H. T. BIandiord, Of walla waIla; NJ. J.
MalOney, Of Wharton and James A.
Munday, Of CLARK were elecled delegates
To the Chicago convention, and that tie
alternates ere L. d. Ross and A. 7.
Perry. Of King; J. D. Maddox, Of Klirki.
tat; J. Maher. Of Lincoln; David Shelton,
Of Mason; L. G. Dillnlan, Of Spokane
and A. Med maid. Of Columbia. These
are not the points that the prople are
looking for now. Details have been Eiven
and it is time for impressions, and ammo
tations made in highways aud byways.
First, there was Vancouver. A pretty
town. A place Of green, beieweled with
bowers. But il was u long way around
and when one haste pass through another
state to reach the convention in our own
it is annoying and called forth much
comment.
The people Of Vancouver were hospita-
BILE and anxious to give the visitors enter
tsinment, hot the feeling Of the delegates
was that important business had the
right-Of-wHy, and that pleasure must he
side-trAcked for the time being. and this
pulley was pursued. The hall in Nhirh
the convention was held was the best
Vancouver had, but there are many
smaller towns in the state much better
equipped and the river metropolis should
not ask for another convention until her
lack In this particular is supplied.
The convention called forth splendid
,dy Of men. The attendance was un-
usually large, showing that the demon
racy is fully alive to the situation and
confident Of victory.
Probably the best nominating speech
ma 10 at the convention was that 81
Dethles G. Hansen, Of Tacoma. Mr.
Hansen is a young attorney who is rap
idly taking high place at the bar and j.
making himself a prominent factor in the
politics Of the state. Another Of the bPsI
nominating speeches was that Of Senator
Eshelman, when he presented the name
Of H. J. Snively to the convention. VI
the candidates elected by ballot Mr..
Snively received the highest number Of
