LITTLE CALCULATES A LIBEL.
Gabriel l.. Jones VIII Take Criminal
and Civil Action.

Yesterday the dead walls in several parts
OF town were plastered with a scurrilous
caricature on Gabriel L. Jones. picturing
him as colored man wearing a nechtie
with big dice and daisies. Mr.. Jones traced
these posters to Edward w. Little, the
Democratic candidate for the Legislature.
whose name is opposite that Of Mr.. Jones
on the legislative ticket. Mr.. Jones has
taken advice on the matter. and intendS
to take both criminal and civil action
against the perpetrator of this libel. He
feels confident that Little is the man who
had the posters circulated. Little ran for
county commissioner several years ago.
and on account OF his weakness ran far
behind his ticket. Mr.. Jones is man vast
ly superior TO Little in all the qualities that
go to make up a legislator. The photo
graph from which this caricature on the
poster made was stolen from Mr..
JoneS'S house.

light parade of the campaign marched
through the city tonight in the interest of

of Technology and Tufts College would be
represented. Anticipating that the thwart-
ed efforts for rush Friday night
might cause the students to make more
decided attempt tonight, the police made
elaborate arrangements for quelling any
disturbance whatever, with the result that
there were nearly as many officers in the
parade as students, while both the front
and rear of the procession were strongly
guarded. After the parade broke up a
large number of Harvard men went TO Park
square, where they encountered about
twenty-five Tufts College men. A rush en-
sued and soon the streets near the Provi-
dence depot were thronged with people
The police, however, charged on the stu
dents and after half an hour succeeded in
clearing the square, but not until num-

paign in Oregon practically closed last
Saturday night. AS to the final result both
sides are equally confident. The Republic
ans claim the State for Mckinley by 4.500
at the lowest. on the other hand, the
Democrats and Populists claim ii for Bry-
an by 5000. An important factor in the re-
suit will be the vote of the gold Democrats.
1t is estimated that their strength is about
1000 in the State. During the last few days
there has been manifested an inclination
on the part of a great many or them to
vote for the Mckinley electors. Others.
