we VIII uBnl III out with DallOtS; that ~
why we ask your votes.
Go to the polls on Wednesday and moth
Ing can Withstand your votes. l certain
ly believe We are going to win. said SO
last year. Did we not win?
We had majority OF the votes. tthe
grand committee came together and
counted them We would have had our
seats. We are In peculiar position, but
we have never been defeated.
Ii has been said the financial depression
which we have gone through Is due to
the Democratic party. II is the veriest
nonsense. IL any man ever voted the
Democratic ticket he should do 80 now.
II man has read history he knows it's a
lie. Barring Bros, failed in London, Eng,
and other large banking firms In Austria
liza before America ever felt any depres-
sion and those failures we're the cause of
the trouble here and how could the Dem
ocratic party be TO blame for It. Wehave
had several panics from 1857 down to 'S3.
Remember that awful depression that
swept over our little State in 1873. Were
the Republicans 20 blame for that2 Did
any Democrat ever say so? Never; they
knew better. No party was ever to blame
In particular for depressions. The real
Republicans don't say so, IL Is a few for
eigners who are led by man who Is
holding Office in this state and who
never got vote last year. There are no
Republicans OF American birth following
him and the only campaigning that has
been done was done by.men imported from
New York who know as much about what
you want In Rhode Island as Hottentots.
They are we'll paid for 1t, however.
Chauncey Depew was TO come and tell
us some things, but he didn't and only
wish he had for ! would like to ask him a
few questions. You are now asked to
right the wrong, a deep wrong, so go to
the polls on Wednesday and take every
voter with you. Vote the straigh ht ticket,
vote for your assembly candidates, vote
for every one on the ticket and you will
be doing your duty. Gentlemen, l thank
you for your attention and / again ask
you to do your whole duty.
Gen. Arnold Speaks.
Chairman Arnold, upon rising to pres
ent the next speaker, said he was tempted
to make speech himself, TIE enthusiasm
OF the meeting having made him young
again. He addressed himself casually to
the State issues, but left them soon as
Gov. Baker, he said, had tak9n care OF
them. Then he made one of the greatest
arguments eyer delivered upon the pres
ent depression, completely upsetting every
theory put forward by the opposition.
lie closed an eloquent speech amid cries
OF "go on, 60 on" and then introduced
Hon. Augu stus s. Miller, Senator of
Providence.
Senator MIIler's speech.
Senator Miller reviewed the situation,
depicting the low state to which the Re-
publican party had fallen when IL had to
import two political trsmps" from New
York TO speak for It's cause at 80 much
per speech. "Thls was talk for revenue
only" but what better could be expected
In defence OF a man who, occupying the
Governors chair by his own act in pro.
roguing the Legislature, and then stand.
ing before an audience, would say, as ID.
Russell Brown said, that "any man with
any sense OF justice or manhood would
do as he had done"
Mr.. Miller gave 1t as his deliberate
opinion that II he had not lost all sense OF
honor and justice he would not have
acted as he had and perpetuated himself
In office after the people said they did not
want him.
At this point Gen. Arnold said he
would be obliged to withdraw to keep an
other engagement, and he asked ex-Gov
Davis to preside for the rest OF the even
ing.
Gov. Davis Talks.
Gov. Davis got rousing reception and
said IL was a pleasure for him to speak to
the people unhampered by not being a
candidate. He urged every voter to stand
firmly, not only by the State ticket but
also by the General Assembly ticket, for,
said he, every man OF them was my friend
in every contest have been In.
He urged, therefore, that the voters who
desired TO stand for what was right 10
vote the Democratic ticket from Governor
down to the last Representative upon the
ticket. He closed by presenting the
candidate for Senator, Hon. Hugh j.
Carroll.
MI. CarrolI's Address.
Hon. Hugh J. Carroll, ex-Mayor OF
Pawtucket, was called upon and made an
address short, sharp and to the poiut, as
follows
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen THE
present campaignisIconfined solely to State
issues.
The Republicans did wrong last year Ia
refusing to count the peoples votes.
they would like to make this a campaign
outside OF the State issues. We will not
permit them do 1t.
They have stolen the State, trampled on
the constitution and have usurped powers
belonging To the people. When the
people OF this State vote they should have
their votes counted.
This is a constitutional right which the
Republicans have refused to admit.
We have tamely submitted for year
for peace sake. Now let Us say that the
votes shall be counted this year. l want
to help to do IL. The IRepublicans
say that the court IL with them. This Il
wrong. Tho court only said that the
Governor could prorogue the Assembly
not that the votes should not at some time
be counted.
