Prohibitionists Adhere to
Their Party.
Oenunciation and RiGicuie OF the IN
dependent Party.
Insinuations of the Morning Papers
and Reformers Laughed to Scorn.

The independent political movement,
so called, was quite completely covered
last evening with wet blankets in the
opinion of the majority at the Prohi-
bition conference, at 9S Weybosset street.
The meeting was called for the purpose
OF deciding whether the Prohibitionists
would retain their individuality as reg
ularly organized party or ally themselves
with the members OF the Rhode Island
Citizens League and others who partici-
pated in the Infantry Hall affair OF last
Thursday night. Ii was mass meeting
OF the olu-line Prohibitionsts, that was
called 10 decide what the policy OF their
party should be in the coming city cleo
tion and their action was extremely deci-
sive and the idea of fusion with an un-
known quantity was killed with riuicule
Mr.. James A. Williams was practically
the only speaker who advocated any sort
of a com mbinatiopN and he advocated the
same course for his fellow psrtisans that
he aid last Thursday night for all citi-
zens in general But he was alone in ad-
vising fusion.
Even Rev. Mr.. Larry, who was one OF
the principal speakers at the Infantry Hall
meeting, and spoke long and earnestly
i'm behalf OF municipal reform, declared
himself last night as a Prohibitionist
hrst last and always. He denounced the
attempt TO coerce Prohibitionists into re-
linduishing their party organization by
false statements.
Mr.. A. B. Martin and MIR. Patrick Han
ma were both most earnest in advocating
their party principles and in denouncing
and ridiculing the attempt OF so.called
independents 10 gain place and power for
themselves by making indefinite and IN
discriminate charges OF fraud and corrup-
tion against present incum bents.
"Who is il, asked Mr.. Martin, "that
suggests and asks and demands that we
| combine with the independents? Ii Is
| The Providence journal, and The Provi-
! dence Journal is the worst enemy the
! Prohibition party ever had. Ii has had
! nothing but slurs and misrepresentation
| and insult for the cold water men and
! now we are asked 10 cease our very exist
/ ence as party at its behest and to par
| ticipate in a movement which IL promo
| ted for the accomplishment OF its owl
ends. IL makes charges OF corruption
! but does not dare to designate any man. ,
! Among the other speakers were Chair
man Louis T.. Remington, William Smith
| G.. l.. NJ. Mitchell, Horatio Rogers
! George ID. Briggs, Messrs. Barstow, Dur
/ fee Wright and n. w. Williams. Th'
conference" adopted the following reso
/ luton:
Resolved, That II is the sense OF thi
conference that party politics. withou
| principle, has no place In the government
OF q municipality. That we favor th'
union of all reforms which may be bene
fit TO the city, State and nation.

when he was reprimonded for getting away
from the main question. he explained that he

hard that they lost control Of their pencils.

SAY AL REvOIR
Fitzsimmons and Corbei
May Drift Apart.

Hot SPRINGS, Ark, October o.
The flank movement made last night
by Governor Clarke and Attorney General
Kinsworthy appears to have effectually
settled the question of the possibility OF
Corbett and Fitzsimmons ever meeting in
this State and all hope OF pulling OF the
fight in Hot Springs has been abandoned
The Attorney General made the affidavit
upon which the warrant for Fitzsimmons
arrest was issued. and the papers were
issued by magistrate in Little Rock
and placed in the hands OF the sheriff at
Texarkana. The plan is not to allow him
to reach here. Attorney-Generai hlni-
worthy remained in this city tDday ior
the purpose OF having the Australian ar
rested here I'm case he should slip through
Texarkana without being apprehended.
II is his intention to have Fitzsimmons
plsced under heavy bond TO keep the
peace and thus prevent the fight.
The Corbett-kitzsimmons fight Will
never take place in Arkansas. That Is
the inference from dispatch addressed
10 The Associated Press by the Governor
OF Arkansas. The telegram was received
at the office OF The Associated Press in
Chicago at noon. II reads as follows:
~ LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. %.
"Intend 10 stop fight at all hazards, re-
gardless of place and time when attemp-
ted. In fact it is stopped now.

blyman, Police and Firemen.

There was meeting OF the Swedish
American Republican Club at 20 Wey-
bosset street last evening, which was
accepted by few present an oppor-
tunity for finding fault with the Repub-
lican party Of the city, and several remarks
which savored OF harsh criticism were made
IN the Swedish language. Some Of them were
directed against the Republican city com
mittee, and others against the Swedish -Ameri-
can Independent Republican Club, which is
an off.shoot OF the other organization.
A resolution was passed 10 the effect that
the of shoot is in no way copneoted with the
main stock, and also that the members OF
the regular organization are loyal TO the
principles of the Republican party.
Another set OF resolutions, which were
withheld from the press last evening, but
which DR. Hailer was willing TO show today.
constituted an address to the Republican city
committee. and will be communicated to that
body. II sets forth the claim that the swed-
ish voters OF the city have supported the
nominees of the Republican, party. in season
and out Of season, and that as individuals,
and as an organization. they had always
worked to the best Of their ability for tn,
support Of the ticket Bat on the Other
hand, they had never received the slightes
recognition from the party. Therefore, they
now want the privilege of nominating from
their own ranks n candidate for the Citl
Council. and candidate for the General As
sembly who shall be recognized and supporte,
by the party as whole. Furthermore, tho
want a few OF their fellow -couptrymen TO re
ceive appointments In the police and fir
| departments.
