Senator Merrill neutrality-suspicious.
EG. Stanley and Potter Also Named.

The Prohibitionists have nominated a
Senator and two Representatives for the
State election. Next comes the Republi-
can caucus. The denomination by the
Republicans OF the present incumbents is
taken as a matter of fact. No better men,
the party leaders say, can be found.
Representative Stanley is man who
has never thrust himself upon the party.
He has always been and is now an out
aud out Republican,
Senator sylvester X. Merrill of Edge
wood Is said to be the right man in the
right place. At an informal meeting of
citizens in the West End of the Town on
Saturday Senator Merrill and Representa-
tive stanley were talked about. 1t was de-
cided that the gentlemen would be re-
quested to succeed themselves. As nearly
as can be learned It is thought that these
men win accept the nominations.
Many Democrats have expressed them
selves anxious for the present Senator
and Representatives To go back TO the
State House and will favor the endor e.
ment of the Republican nominations for
the General Assembly.
1t is evident, from the neatly planned
arrangements that are being perfected by
the Edge ood and PawtuXet independent
district committee toward securing r
these lacss an independent district that

apart.
Several prominent citizens of these two
places said, few days az that IL Edge

places will c. sent to be taken in to the

former, and expressed opposition to the civ
il-service law: he also opposed election OF
Senators by the people, and denounced the
action of the Pension Bureau in dropping
the names of pensioners from the rolls He
reviewed the Democratic national policy of
the past few years and pronounced it in
capable. He declared emphatically In favor
of protective tariff. and said the greatest
crime of the nineteenth century against the
passage of the present tariff law. He re-
viewed the tariff question at some length,
and then said:
