MR.. BOYDEN'S SIDE.
Shows Anlmus Of Recent Statements
About Crescent Park.
Noted Bl-MetaIIlsts Will Make Addresses
There and Nowhere Else.

The projected three days gathering
OF the New England Bimetallic League,
OF which ex-Mayor Greene OF Woon-
socket is chairman, at Crescent Park.
on Saturday. Sunday and Monday next.
seems To have stirred up quite a little
controversy in certain quarters. i'm TO
menting which the Providence Journal,
for reasons well understood by the
public. is conspicuous. The Journal on
sunday attempted to give the impress
sion that Hon w. j. Bryan, ex-Gov.
Altgeld and all other speakers expeeted
at the meetings at Cro scent Park would
speak on Labor day at Rocky Point in
connection with the Central Labor
Union excursion there, conveying the
inference that Mr. Greene had so ar
ranged and prom -sed.
Proprietor Boyden OF Crescent Park
was seen yesterday regarding the mat
ter, and said, after hearty laugh over
the Journals story: 'Of course, you
understand this. / don't advertise in
the Journal, and this is only its latest
bit of free advertising for me at the
expense of its own reputation for
trust tworthiness and self-respect. The
fact OF the matter is. Mayor Greene and
i have signed contracts OF the sound
est legal character, containing a con-
slderation, ami II william j. Bryan,
Altgeld. Tillman, Williams or any other
silver-tongued orators speak in Rhode
Island in september, it Will be at Cres-
cent Park. Mayor Greene is too good a
lawyer and too honorable a gentleman
TO violate any contract he may sign,
ard those who know him will not for a
moment credit the Journals implied re-
Elections upon his honor.
THE simple fact of the matter Is this:
Certain individuals who assume to
speak for and control labor organiza-
tions in Providence, and whose meth
DDS are well known, formerly arranged
with me for Labor day excursions to
Crescent Park, and not understanding
the true situation. / accepted their
terms. which gave them all the profits
accruing from the presence of all the
labor organizations from every other
city or town in Rhode Island or Massa-
chusetts. the latter coming to Crescent
Park, spending their money. and get
ting nothing whatever in return, while
10 these Providence leaders was paid
the entire amount which rightfuHy
should have been divided up among
all the organizations Joining in the ex-
cursion. even went so far. Also as to
make them present of 800 in addition
To what their contract called for.
TWO years ago. / discovered the true
facts, and since then have declined To
have any dealing with them. and thus
he n party to further injustice TO the
thousands OF laboring people who come
mere from other cities. OF course they
were greatly displeased. especially IA
very large proportion OF the laboring
people came to Crescent Park just the
same. ana now. with the questionable
aid Of the Journal they are giving
themselves away by making a grsat
