the council first elected to that high
position by good government votes in the
council over coed government con- petitor
for the post. He was prompt TO recognize
the popular sentiment in behalf Of the
gool government oouncilmen by select
ing them for important positions on
comm ittees and he has in every way
shown thorough capacity for gIasDina
municipal conditions and utilizing the
forces which the people placed at the
disposal of the administration for the
benefit of the business of the city.
How desperate is the Democratic situa-
tion in view of the failure of the party
leaders to this year enlist any aggressive
independent support is demonstrated by
the attitude of their party organ, the
journal. Up to within the past few
days, that newspaper evidently felt that
the election would go to the Democracy
by virtue of Democratic votes and by de-
fault of sufficient Republican ballot
ing. But this morning the Democratic
organ came down of tho fence dropped
its attitude of mere non-partisan and u
disinterested spectator Of events and is
sued an hysterical appeal to the citizens

counted upon the election OF the Demo
cratic candidate without feeling the nee.
essity of taking "a hand and compromis-
ing itself as an out and out advocate of
the Democratic cause. But at the last
moment. IL realizes that the cause Of its
friends Is lost. There Is no independent
sentiment in favor Of the respectable
nomination OF the Mcguire machine. Ac-
cordingIy, it once again throws off its

Its action is too apparent TO influence
any votes in favor Of It's candidate.
The bicyclers are in receipt of the fol

of the candidate in the Rhode Island
division OF the League of American
Wheemen:
HOW AND WHY
TO VOTE FOR MAYORi
All WheelInen Irrespective Of party
should vote for
JOHN Il. KENDRICK.
The Republican
Nominee Tor Mayor.
1st. Because John II. kendrick joined
the l.. A. w. long before he was thought
of rs a Mayoralty candidate.
End. because he is in favor of good
roads. grooyed rails, asphalt streets and
wide wagon tires.
3rd. Because ne has shown himself to be-
the wheelmen's 5 friend, an enthusiastic
cyclist, and is ever ready IN receive and
act on suggestions pertaining to the
wheelmens s welfare.
The attempt to enlist any independent
sentiment In favor of Abraham A. Gray
for alderman I'm Ward Two or To support
the candidate from Cape Cod in Wari
FouT, is likelyto prove "A dismal failure
according 20 all estimates
In Mard -Four the candidate from Cape
Cod represents only his own ambition
and vicious personal assault on Alder
man Pierce, prom rtci 10y motives that
the taxpayers have no sympathy with and

lican caucus hefore he wens over to the
Democratic caucus and secured lis
