went down to Quinsigamond village and
succeeded in inducing about 60 Swedes
to take out their papers. This work is
in charge of Hermon S. Hastings, vice
president Of the club. As next Wednes-
day sithe last day upon which natural
ization papers can be filed for the stale
election, the club is doing all in it's
power to get the largest number Of men
In line for the polls.
The meeting last evening was held at
the store Of the Quinsigamond CO.
operative Company, 84s Millbury street,
and the club Is planning to hold an
other meeting Tuesday evening at the
same place, when it is expected that
many more papers will be made out
and many good republicans made. AL
though the club has been in existence
for several years this is the first prac-
tical work that has ever been attempt
ed. This is line of work that the city
committee is prohibited from engaging
in, and ther work must be done by
somebody that is willing to- push the
matter to a successful finish. If the
club had attempted this work several
years ago, ward would today be
strongly on the republican side, instead
of being as it is, debatable ground. The
Swedish population of QuinsigaInond is
republican in persuasion and only
needs little prodding to get into line
and get naturalized and registered The
members of the club are not to stop
when they have seen the men natural
lied, however. but will see that they
are registered and enrolled as repub-
leans .s.

He Thanked His Friends For Their Sup
port, But Won't Go Into the Convention
To the Editor Of tie Spy:
AS l stated in my letter last week, I
entered the councillor candidacy this
year under the impression that the re-
publicans in Worcester and the county
towns desired my reelection. l said
personally to several Of my constitu-
ents. that I would be glad to return
and serve the county to the best of my
ability. but would not consider it dig
nified to make a contest for the posi-
ton
The result Of the caucuses convinces
ME that the sentiment of the county is
opposed to a third term, therefore I
withdraw my name as candidate at
the convention to be held Oct. 4th
l desire to express my sincere thanks
to my constituency for their loyal sup
port for the past two years, and their
appreciation of the service / have en-
dcavored TO render to the county and
to the state
| would also take this opportunity
to thank my friends who have taken
an interest in my candidacy this fall,
as expressed by their action in the
caucuses just held
With best wishes for the interests
of the republican party and the com
morwealth, l am,
Yours truly,
Allen L. Joslin.

The special committee recommends
that the committee on legislation take
the matter under consideration and IL
necessary urge the adoption of such
ordinance as may be deemed proper
concerning the storage and transporta-
tion OF matter and solicit the co-opera-
ton of transportation companies,
The committee also makes elaborate
recommendations for the requisites of a
standard acetylene generator, piece
OF apparatus so designed as to make
the escape Of gas a practical impossi-
bility. They recommend that the stor-
age of liquid acetylene in any building,
or the use of the fluid, be absolutely
prohibited.
One can hardly pick up a new paper
but some instance win be noted where
acetylene has exploded through care
lessness of those in charge, or through
some defect in the apparatus, and for
the purpose of guarding against any
such possible contingence, the Worces-
ter insurance men and fire department
officials are getting ready to look after
acetylene before it gets a firm footing
in this city.

CONVENTION WEEK.
State Tickets VIII Be Named and Other
Candidates Selected.

The week of political conventions has
arrived. During the next few days
both political parties will hold their
state conventions, and the republicans
will also hold several other conven-
lions.
The democratic state convention will
be held in Mechanics hall on Tuesday,
at II o'clock. A lively time is expected,
as no candidate has as yet been an
nounced who is willing to contest the
nomination for governor with George
Fred Williams.
The republican state convention will
be held in Music hall, Boston, on Thurs
day. In all probability the present in
cumbent of the office, Roger Wolcott,
will be unanimously renominated for
the office, although there has been
some intimation that Governor Wolcott
might be selected by the president for
the post of ambassador at the court of
st. James If there is anything in the
rumor it is more probable that the Sc
lection will come later, after the gov
ernor has been nominated ard elected
The headquarters of the state central
committee will be at the American, and
at that place on the evening preceding
the convention there will be a recep-
ton, at which the state officials and de-
legates will be present. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge has been asked to address
the convention, and will probably ac-
cept Reduced rates have been secured
on the railroads, and a return fare Of
81. IS secured for those who may desire
to attend.
Three republican conventions have
been called for Monday in this city At
republican headquarters at 10 o'clock
the delegates to the first Worcester dis
trict republican convention will assem-
nd 70 ~lp zToe y, T.,
nomination by reclamation, to succeed
Hon. Ellery B. Crane The meeting will
be called to order by David Manning,
and George w. B. Sisson will act as
secretary.
The third Massachusetts district re-
publican congressional convention will
be held at Continental hall, Foster
street, and win be called by S. Hamil-
ton Coe at IL o'clock.
At Horticultural hall, at 1890 o'clock
tomorrow, delegates to the second Wor-
cester republican senatorial convention
will meet to place in nomination Fran
els A. Harrington of this city Hon.
Alfred S. Roe win act as temporary
chairman Of the con vention.
The seventh district republican coun-
cillor convention will be held in Contin-
entail hall on Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock. Jonathan Smith is to act as
chairman, and Frank B. Hall as secre-
tary of the convention.
The only other convention scheduled
for this week is the county convention,
which comes on Wednesday, at Contin-
entail hall at 10 O'clock. More interest
will center around this convention than
around all Of the others combined, for
1t is there that the nominee for district
attorney win be selected. The other
county officials will be renominated by
reclamation Col. Fred w. Wellington
will call the convention TO order, and
Frank B. Hall will act as secretary.
With the exception of the convention
to be held at republican headquarters,
the public will be admitted to the gal
leries.

ALL FOR HoAR
In Spite of the Cry That He Must Be
Beaten.
Oxford. Oct. LIST, 1898.

Interest in the district attorney con-
test is to certain extent on the wane.
That is, while more or less talk in re-
gard to the matter is heard on the
street and among the lawyers, almost
every one is of the opinion here that
lockwood Hoar will go into the con-
vention with sufficient delegates to
carry the nomination. Confidence in
his favor increases every day, and it
is reasonable to suppose that the del
egates In many of the country towAs
who were elected unpledged, will be
found on his side in The convention. Mr.
Dean Is still confined to the house by
Illness, but Is in hopes to be at his
office tomorrow. His friends are@stin
confident that If he is not able to Sc
cure the requisite number Of delegates
to nominate, he will, with the aid Of
the delegates pledged to M. Stiles and
those. unpledged, be able to elect an
other man instead of Gen. Hoar. Any
candidate except lockwood Hoar
seems to be the slogan now and it is
in this spirit that the campaign of both
the lesser candidates is being carried
on.
While large number of delegates
are conceded to Mr.. IIoar, the mana
gers of the Dean movement are of the
opinion that after the first ballot many
will forsake Mr.. Hoar AMI take sides
with a stronger man. 1t does not seem
probable, however, that more than one
ballot will be taken, and that one bal
lot seems to be today strongly for
Gen. Hoar.
The supporters of Mr.. Dean say that
their candidate s name will be pre-
scented to the convention, and that he
will remain in the field until the de-
cision by the convention. 1t has been
suggested that it would be wise
thing for both Herbert Parker and City
Solicitor Rugg to be present at the
convention and convince the delegates
that they would not take the Office if IL
were offered them. Many of the
friends Of Gen. Hoar claim that if this
were done 1t would materially help his
candidacy.

MURDERoUs BLADE.
Larner Used II With Bad Effect and Is
Now ocked Up

Larher OSed X WIN 6ao ElIect ana is
Now ocked Up.
William j. Larner, % years old, a
character well known to the police, is
locked up at the Lamartine street sta
ton house charged with drunkenness
and carrying a dangerous weapon. The
events furnishing grounds for his ar
rest took place on Millbury street about
IL o'clock, when two men, Philip Du-
quette of 1856 Washington street and
Neal Shea, who lives on Kane court,
We're badly cut, as alleged, by Larner.
The men had been out together dur
ing the evening and got into an argu-
ment which wound up in a stabbing
ARRAY. Just as the sport was at it's
height Officers O'Connell and G.. " Bar
ker Of station 2 appeared, and Larner
ran away.
The first care of the officers was for
the wounded men, who were hurried to
the office of DIR. Langlois, where their
wounds were dressed. Duqpette was
cut on the wrist and Shea had a bad
stab in the breast. The wounds bled
profusely and their clothes were soaked
with blood
A short time afterward the officers
located Larner and lodged him at the
Lamartine street station house. When
Larner was searched a knife eleven
inches long, with six-inch blade was
found tied to one of his suspenders. The
weapon looks like a butchers knife and
is as keen as razor.
There was blood on the blade of the
knife and additional signs on Larner' S
handkerchief, which looked as though
he had wiped the blade with it. Larner
will admit nothing in connection with
the stabbing although he said he paid
Sheas doctors bill
Larner has reformatory record, and
has been before the court three times
within a year, once each for assault and
battery, violation of city ordinance and
disturbing the peace.

The Meetings
This w eek.
DEMOCRATS ARE
Still Looking For Moses to
Lead Forlorn Hope.

The democratic state convention. to
be held at Mechanics hall, Tuesday
morning at IL o'clock, promises to be
largely attended, notices having been
sent to all the delegates in the state,
urging them to make every effort to be
present. Reduced rates of fare have
been secured on all of the railroad lines
leading into the city. The 8 o'clock
train from Boston, Monday, on which
large delegation is expected, will have
several additional cars attached for the
convenience of the delegates. The head
quarters of the democratic state com
mittee are to be at the Bay State house,
and already nearly all Of the available
room has been reserved. On the even
ing preceding the day Of the convention
there will be a reception to delegates.
at which all of the possible candidates
and other prominent democratic leaders
will be present. Delegates will have
special sections reserved for them on
the floor of the hall, and these locations
will be designated by plainly printed
placards for the guidance of delegates
and also the chairman. There will be
meetings of the executive committee
and the committee on resolutions at the
hotel on Monday night.
Judge John w. Corcoran of Clinton
returned from Europe Friday evening,
and says he is entirely out Of politics,
although he will still retain an interest
In local political affairs. 1t has been
stated in some quarters that he might
lead the opposition to George Fred VIII
liams, but he says that Mr.. Williams
can have all the honor he wishes in that
line. He has not taken an active inter-
est in the proceedings of a state con-
vention for many years.
Nothing very definite seems to have
been decided upon as to who Is to be
the man to act as the gubernatorial fig
urehead. Samuel Roads, Jr, of Marble
head, has finally decided not to accept
the nominatt ton Of the party. He attend
ed meeting of the state organization
at the American house, in Boston, on
Thursday, and at that time stated his
decision. He gives family and personal
reasons as an excuse.
Among the matters attracting atten-
ton in connection with the convention
is that of the platform to be adopted
1t Is said that the Chicago platform
will be endorsed, and it is said that a
strong anti-imperalistic plank and an
other declaring in favor of the freedom
Of Cuba will be put in the list. Follow
ing the lead of other states. the conven-
ton will probably denounce the admin
istration for the conduct of the war
There was to have been a meeting of
the leaders on Friday evening to decide
on nominee for the governorship but
no decision was arrived at, and it is
problematical who will be the lucky (?)
man.
The local democratic city committee
Is making every effort to provide for
the comfort of the delegates, and will
have a band in attendance to enliven
the proceedings.
