The evening tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 189?-190?, 1897-03-27
Scarcely Two Weeks Remain
tOPrepareF For the Coming
State Election.
A Pronounced Victory Will Put
an End to the Existance
Of the Ring.
THE ENEMY IS DEMORALIZED.
The Candidates on the Democratic Ticket are
Clean Capable Men Who Will Work For
the Interests of the People.

1t is barely two weeks from now until
election day, and no time Is to be lost IL
the Democrats and Citizens Com
mittec wish to place their candi-
dates upon the winning side. 1t will not
suffice to win, but the victory must be so
pronounced that an end will be put to the
corrupt ring that has lorded it so long in
city politics. The city was not created for
few, but il was intended that the admin
istration of city affairs should be carried
out for the best interest of all the citizens.
To do this the Republican ring must be
smashed, and men who live but to hold
Office for selfish purposes must be rele-
gated to obscurity. 1t must be pleasant
for respected Republicans to be told that
they wear the Dennis or Freeman yoke
and mus. do as these men say.
The opportunity to forever break this
combination presents itself at this moment,
and he would be a fool, indeed, did he not
grasp the occasion to show the people of
the city that bosses are not supreme In
this city. Will the mass of voters rise to
the occasion and disapprove this insinua-
tions The answers are coming thick and
fast from all over the city to the effect that
the time has come when American man
hood will assert itself by an enormous vote
for the nominees on the Democratic and
Citizens ticket. In reality, it Is not the
Democratic nor the Citizens Committee
ticket, but combination of popular in
terests to upset the calculations OF desining
and caucus packing politicians.
The victory is already won, but the vic
tors must not lie upon their oars and allow
Mr.. Freeman and his friends an oppor-
tunity to turn a point towards success.
Already the rings agents are about the
city interviewing the independents and
seeking to hold them within the party
lines. Little satisfaction they are securing,
however, for there is spirit OF freedom of
thought and action showing i.self to the
public gaze which can not be Won over by
oily tongues.
The people have been fed upon soft
promises until they are disgusted, and now
a firm determination has taken possession
Of large majority of the citizens to think
and act for themselves and place their
votes where they will do the most good.
How can the desired end be obtained is
asked? The answer Is plain; vote for DR..
Remington and every name over the ss-
sembly ticket placed in nomination by the
lovers Of good and honest government.
The people are told that mr. Freeman Is
great and good man /; he may be personally,
but politically what Of him? Has he ever
done anything remarkable for this cityf
He is State Railroad Commissioners, but
has he ever done anything to assist the
citizens interests In regard to having bet
ter facilities for transportationP One word
from him would compel every train of the
Consolidated road to stop at the Central
Falls depot. Has he uttered THAT wordf
Vote for Remington, the two Burns and
Beaucage, and you will have men who Will
hook after the citizens interests at all
times.
