The Republican Nominations-Polo Game
in Meriden To-night-D emocratio Dis
satisfaction.
o'clock and close at p. M. Every voter
who is interested in a clean and enter
prising borough government should
make it point to get to the polls and
vote the republican ticket, which is a
worthy one, and deserves to be elected
by large majority.
The attendance at the republican
caucus last evening was small owing
largely to the unpleasant weather. The
meeting was very harmonious one
and the ticket was nominated in a
manner that showed there was no dis
cord in the party ranks. The renomi-
nation of Warden Henry B. Hall was
as predicted hearty and unanimous
action. The entire tickle. IS of the best
order and deserving Of the united sup
port of the best citizens of the borough.
1t took but twenty minutes to nonli-
nate the entire ticket.
The ticket as nominated is as fol-
lows:
Warden-Henry B. Hall.
Burgesses- Samuel Hodgkinson, A. L.
Judd Noah Linsley.
Clerk-Fraray Hale.
Treasurer-Charles D. Morris.
Colector-R. II. Cowles.
Assessor--G. Fl. Yale.
Auditor-Theodore #. Lane.
Baliff-GeOrge J. White.

} Ell 2 DE MAYO.

Hoy conmemora Puerto Rico,
por primera vez, su gloriosa de-
fensa contra los ingleses. Fire
cuerdo de aquellos heroes que,
sin contar ell n1mero nj esperar
auxilios de la Metr6poli, supieron
honrar aquf el pabell6n de la Pa
tria. rechazando vigorosamente a
los invasores ell Dfa de Mayo
de 1897, despierta un alto sen
timiento de legftimo orgullo y
una veneraci6n profunda. Para
honrar su memoria, que ha es-
critic una pagina de orc en- la
historic de este generoso pueblo,
sc disponen hestas; y, para per-
petuar ell sagrado recuerdo de
aquel dia memorable Sc colocara
hoy la primera piedra del monu-
mcnto levantado al bravo Ge-
neral, defensor de la plaza.
Asf Sc enaltece a la Patriaj de-
mostrando que los que saben
morir por ella viviran eterna
mente en- la memoria de sus des
cendientes, sirviendo de ejemplo
digno siempre de imitArse.
A la intimaci6n de Iendir la
plaza, no contesto ell General
Castro con aquel desprecio y fo
gosidad de Don Juan de Haro,
cuando ell sitio de los holandeses.
Don Juan de Haro quefia que
todo ell poder de Holanda sc
encontrara en- Puerto Rico pa
"a que conociera q los espafo

tregara el general enemigo los
bajeles surtos en- ell puerto, que
Gl les darfa uno para que Sc re-
tirasen. Ell General Castro, ell
I8 de Abril de 1897, contesto q
Ia intimaci6n de rendimiento
que el y todos los habitantes y la
guarnicion estaban resueltos a
vender caras sas vidas va per
der la Ultima gotta de sangre en-
defensa dc la ciudad: y con una
delicada ironia que provocaba al
enemigo y que lastimaba su or
gullo, lie recordaba que no era Ia
primera vez que vencfa a los in
gleses, y que esperaba alcanzar
la gloria que va habfa obtenido
derrotando q la naci6n britannica
en- Village.
El Dfa de Mayo huyeron los
invasores, vengando asi los puer
toriquenos la ofensa que Sc les
habla inferido dos siglos antes,

y tomo esta plaza con 20 navfos,

Fl mismo ano de i7o7 la her6i

honrar las virtudes de su; hijos.
