NOT MUCH TO DO.
THE DEMOCRATS HAVE An EASY
TASK TO REGAIN THE STATE.
what One Of tho Enthusiasts Was Led
to Say by the Glowing Talk at the
Recent Banquet.

A reporter of the NBws met one of the
most sanguine OF the Democrats he is
proud to count among his friends this
morning He, the Democrat, not the re-
porter, was at the Democratic banquet
the her night and he had not su cceeded
In getting all the enthusiasm out OF his
system when the News man came In con-
tact with him.
Hi" said he, "did you go'"
$50 where" quoth the penciler.
"To the banquet, to be sure, where
President Andrews told how the grad
yates OF Brown ought to all be good
Democrats, anu tnat there are heroes of
Democracy in this state and that this
state can be carried by the Democracy il
the attempt Is made; where the Hon.
Olney Arnold said that the Democrats of
Rhode Island are really In power in this
STATE and the Hon. j. G.. Monaghan de-
clared that There is no such word as
fail"
to admit that he WAS not there, aud he
asked the Democrat to adjourn to the
near neighborhood of the al djacent lamp
post aud impart TO him some of the ex-
uberant faith that seemed to be so plenti-
full that it could not all stay inside of the
body of the gentleman who had been to
the banquet.
"You see, it is this way" said the
Democrat. "We are sure to lick you fell
lows out OF our boots in April. There is
not the least doubt about IL.
Il 6sare IT out this way: We have
only to do few little things to assure
success" Then he held up one hand aud
began TO enumerate. The reporter does
not remember them all-only about hale
Of them.
I'VE have got to reconcile the factions
in this city, wnere there has been "A fierce
tight for several years. That is easy, you
know yourself. There's only McNally to
provide for, the organ to quell, Mona
CHAN TO get at work In some other state.
Heffernan to satisfy. aud the voters to get
to the polls.
SIN Lincoln there is little more work
to do. The matter has got tangled up
there so that IL may be necessary TO send
for few copies of the New York World.
Fitzsimons and the Quigleys are the
men to straighten every thing out,a they
will do 1t IL they are given time and are
properly supported by the state commit
| tee. They will get all the voters into the
party they do not belong to. and we are
| trying to get them to 90 over into your
party.
"In Newport there is also little work
| for the spleldld organizing Ia ent OF Col.
| Honey. You know how successful he
| was last year. lie turned all the offices
out of the Democratic party, except that
| or member of the national committee.
| That was a masterly piece OF work.
am not sure as there Is much left TO be
| done In Newport. the colonel was So
| thorough last year.
"In Woonsockot the good work is well
| in hand, though there is not the accom-
| plished result TO exhibit that Newport
| aud Lincoln show. Still, the men who
are In the WORK there are young and have
| not mad the experience requisite for
| speed. The Democratic control of the
| city hangs in the balance, aud IL there is
no break it will go to the Republicans
| next sprinx Z, and then we will be In splen-
did condition to make great fight to win
| it back again.
| "In Pawtucket there is something be-
sides harmony, to be sure. but now
| Mr.. Carroll has nothing to do but work
| to promote unity OF action and pull the
| party together. He is great puller and
| IL has been said that he had a great pull.
| He has got chance now to do "a real tug
| of-war act
| "There are several other towns where
| the prospect of clearing the ground for
| the regular Democratic condition of
things is first rate. In Warwick there
| are lew chores to be flushed. We want
| the issues well defined. Ii we are out we
want to know it, and we mean to. Oh
the Democrats are all right. You will
| find us at the old stand, doing busines:
in the old way, wnen the spring campaign
| opens"
| The reporter found that he was alone
| when he recovered from the spell of the
| dulcet voice of the mao who had heard
| Anderson and Andrews.
