Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1894-04-02
MISLEADING CIRCULAR
Sent Out by Republican
City Committee.
AMASS OF CONTRADICTIONS
How They Are Trying to Blind the
Eyes Of the Voters.

The Republican City Committee has
sent out circular to the voters full OF
Misrepresentation. II starts out by say
ing that "during the years the grand Mo
Kinley law was In force, this country en-
joyed an unusual season of prosperity"
The two who signed the circular as Chair
man and Secretary do not seem to remem-
ber that the mckinley law" still exists
and that whether the times are good or
bad that law is still In force.
Then, with an insinuat ION that the enc
Kinley law" Is not In force, they ask the
public TO note the changes. They work
In the necessity for the soup house estab-
blished by one who did not know what
honest work meant, and thus verified the
statement OF the TRIBUNE at the time the
soup house was esta ablished that II was
set up for campaign purposes, so that the
Repu Olicans could "point with pride"
to It's necessity during Democratic ad-
ministration.
But even n one admits the truth of the
necessity for the soup house. started up
and kept going nv Mayor Tiepke in his
capacity as an official OF the League OF
Repu olicsn Clubs, what has that to do
with this election which is to take place
next Wednesday. This circular asks you
To vote for the Republican State ticket in
order to insure good times. Are not all
the State Offices now held by Republicans
aud II that Is all that is necessary why do
they not make times good2
Itthey can't make them goodnow how do
they expect To set about IL after next Wed
nesdayf The truth OF the matter Is, and
they know IL, that the faulty Republican n
leg islalion OF years past is responsible for
a large share OF the prevalent stagnation.
The repeal OF the Sherman silver law, the
veto by President Cleveland of the Bland
seignoriage act and / he prospective repeal
OF the infamous Mckinley law have
already in a measure restored public
confidence and the busipess men
do not care whether the Repu ubiicsns win
or loose. They are doing business and
the demand is setting in for their goods.
Bankers have more money than they can
loan out 10 advantage, and the calamity
bowler is disappointed. Some one else
may say II is necessary for the Republic
cans TO carry the General Assembly so as
/ defeat the proposed Wilson bill WHAT
noDsensei
The United States Senator to be chosen
by he General Assembly to be elected
next Wednesday cannot take his seat
until March 4, 1895, and unless a special
session OF Congress is called (Which
is dou uotfu) will not until December 2,
1895, more than a year and a half from
now. How much influence will his vote
have upon the passage or defeat of that
bill2 Then again, II the eleci ION of a IRE
publican will insure prosperity, why
are we not prosperous now? Are
we not represented In the Senate by two
Republicansf
WilIthe displacement OF Dixon by mil
