the fight, and being answered in the neg

And IL will be remembered that when
he faced Maher in the ring he squared Off
sideways with his left arm straight at
Mahcr's face
II knew he would remember It," said
Fitzsimmons, "and so he did. He stopped
perfectly still and looked at me for mo-
ment, then came on very cautiously, but
had something that he was not familiar
with. 1t was my right hand. He had
never seen me use 1t. He seemed TO be
deeply interested in my left, with which

and more at the elbow i'm order to bring
my hand and Maher's head close together.

Fitzsimmons is really marvellous fight

Corbett, / think, was born to be some

But overwhelming odds are against him,

the scHEME rs WORKING FINELY.

THE SCHEME rs WORKING FINELY!
The n,mocratic scheme which looks "a
the United. .statts Scnatorship for its cul-
mination IS still working finely according
TO contemporaneous evidence.
Having captured the municipalities
through the happy thought of good gov
| crnmcnt" and~~ municipal reform, I" hav-
ing very successfully pulled the legs of an
amazingly large number Of Republican
voters by the delusivc bait Of "non-parti-
sanship in municipal affairs" the able
Democratic conspirators, flushed by their
success are now moving boldly on the
State government with hope of captur-
ing the city delegation to the Assembly
and If that succeeds the way will be quite
clear for keeping up the work for just one
year more and in 1898 capturing tho AS
sembly and sending Democrat TO repre-
sent Rhode Island in Senator Aldrich's
place.
Sober and intelligent citizens who have
been misled by all the rant and can't
the bombast and hypocrisy, of the Goo
Goo movement may well set themselves
to thinking on this matter in view Of tho
boldness of the political conspiracy ms now
developing in the present State campaign.
For two years, now, the cities of the
State have been practically in the hands
of the Democratic machine, masqucrading
as Goo Coos and holding up the normal
Republican majorities with extraordinary
success. Probably they are surprised at
their own triumph, at any rate they are
emboldcned to enter AT once into the State
politics noisily announcing that Goo
be paramount in a State as in city cleo
tion. The Journal is in the field as
heretofore little disgruntled, perhaps,
because the Muleaguc does not follow its
leadership as TO details, but Uniting with
it and not making too much of fuss SO
long as there is a possibility of attaining
the chief end, the election of Democratic
delegation from the city of Providence |
and from as many of the other cities and |
towns as possible for the Assembly of 1897 |
rs good starter for the election of
Democratic Assembly in the important
year Immediately to follow.
There is of course possibility that the
'nds sought will be attained 1t certain
y will be If the rank and file of the Re
publican party does not wake up The
onspirators who, knowing that Demo
racy stands for nothing that the people
want, are glad TO subordinate party to pur-
'ose, are surely justified in their hopes of
till further leading Republicans astray.
But we believe at the election on the 9TH
4 April next they will be deceived and
heir confidence shaken in way to con-
ince them that they are proceeding too
asst and that the citizens of Providence
{ any rate have not yet cut entirely loose
rom their political senses.
