This opposition to Col Rice's promo
ton is said to date back to the parad-
ing Of the Twenty sixth through Bos-
ton and Providence, which resulted in
a large number Of the men being left
in these cities. 1t will be recalled that
when the fact that number of the
enlisted men of the Twenty-sixth had
been left at Boston and Providence,
Secretary Root sent a sharp message
to Col. Rice, instructing him to send
detail Immediately after the stragglers.
After Boston made a request that the
Twenty be ordered to stop off
there on the way to San Francisco to
parade, a number of similar requests
came, in from other New England
cities. The Boston request was grant
ed, but the others were refused. Sec
rotary Root, as well as the officers at
headquarters, opposed the regiments
parading at any place.
The president has a high regard for
Col. Rice, and he may find some way In
which to get around opposition and
promote him.

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1899.
FOR SHAME, Mr.. MYERS.

1t is the most singular spectacle ever
witnessed in Massachusetts politics,
this lining IN of republican represent
atives in favor of James ]. Myers for
speaker.
AS late as Saturday evening, at the
annual dinner of the Massachusetts, Re-
form club, in Boston, where the chief
subject discussed was, Shall we vote
for Bryan or Mckinley, James ]. My
ers was elected a vice president, while
the very air was permeated with the at
mosphere of bitter opposition to Pres
ident Mckinley!
| Mr. Myers voted for and against
Cleveland. and for and against Russell.
He voted against Blaine and against
Greenhalge.
Mr.. Myers is mugwump of the mug
wumps. He belongs to no party. and
no party wants him. Yet he has the
effrontery to seek for republican votes
| to elevate him to the speakership Of a
republican house of representatives in
| Massachusetts.
Shame upon you, Mr.. Myers, for a
political audacity that finds no parallel
in the history of the high office that
you seek! Shame upon the republican
voters who sustain you!
But, whatever else, Worcester county
will be true to her republican traditions
and repudiate this man. He can expect
no support from the heart of the COM
monwealth This is a republican strong
hold. 1t will support none but re-
publican nominee for speaker.
Here is what some of the papers have
to say of Mr.. Myers claim;
James ]. Myers, we understand, is
! becoming more confident Of success in
| his contest for the speakership since
| the candidates became so numerous. A
| vote will soon retire a majority Of the
candidates, and Myers, we venture to
predict, will be in this majority How
| does a mugwump expect favors at the
| hands of either party? He had better
endeavor to serve his constituents a
| little better next year. Myers has all
| the honor that belongs to him, and per-
| haps good deal more, in being elect
| ed representative. His antecedents
/
walton to the speakership.- Sun.
| Myers can win only through the fear
of certain cowardly representatives that
| he will win, and If they do not jump
on to the band wagon early, they may
get left when the committee appoint
ments are distributed. Such towards
and self-seekers should never be per-
mitted to go to the legislature. They
misrepresent their constituents and as
sist in the undoing of the republican
party by their votes. II there are any
anti-imperialists elected to the next
| Legislature, they are fully justified in
| supporting Myers for speaker. All
others who vote for him vote against
the republican party.-Springfeld I'm
| ion.
1t is about time that the representa-
tives elected as republicans understood
that they need not expect support
| from republican papers unless they
vote for republicans when such mo-
mentous issues are at stake as are in
volved in the contest for the speaker
ship. A word to the wise politician
ought to be sufficient. We hope it will
be.-Fall River News

Doorman William Piper of station /
is probably as big hearted as any pa
trolmaI on the Worcester force, and yet
he thinks twice before he will give aid
to tramp. His reason for this is a
good one, and last night in the guard
room, while that species of mankind
was being discussed, he told the fol-
lowing story: "One night l picked out
big man from among the applicants
for a nights lodging and brought him
down stairs to shovel some coal into
wheelbarrow for me. l agreed to
give him piece of money for doing
the work, and the way he started in to
work would make one think of a man
trying to gain time for the arrival of
a reprieve when he was walking to his
execution.
After he got the coal shoveled into
the barrow he made an attempt to lift,
and then turned to me a@d said he
could not move it. This Disguised me.
and when / noticed his size | decided
l would see what he would do. On
the second trip told him to fill it only
half full He did as / told him. and
this time he said he couldn't move Il.
1t Disguised me entirely and | sent
him up stairs. That took a good MANY
kindly feelings out of my heart for
those men,. About six months later
the same fellow came in for lodging.
and as he was being led away to the
tramp room he asked me If l didn't
want some more coal shoveled."
