and a supporter of William Jennings
Bryan.
These, men many OF them I'm the past
affiliated with the Good Government
movement, say that while they were
willing TO vote for Democrat under GER
tain conditions. they are certainly not
willing to vote for and will not vote for
a man who has said: II hope 10 be able
TO cast my vote for Bryan because he
represents those principles ! believe in
PROOFS ARE READY.
The Granger boomers have stated that
they viii issue denial OF this statement,
but, as a prominent Democratic business
man said this morning: "Will Mr.. Gran
ger put his signature and make oath TO
such denial? | think not. As a matter
of fact we have an affidavit, sworn TO in
regular form by the man who interview
ed Mr.. Granger
Another equally prominent business
man and also a Democrat, said: ANY
man that would be considered an unsafe
man TO send to Congress is equally un-
safe 10 be elected mayor OF the city Of
Providence. We want no free silver
Bryanite in Congress and we want no
free silver Bryanite in the mayors
chair"
This is the prevailing sentiment among
ment of the city. independent of patty
affiliation. and these men will vote for
Col. Isaac l.. Gon, because Col. Con is
gold man, a successful business man. a
clean and progressive citizen and is the
candidate OF no one man power.
FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE.
The Republican city ticket will be elect
cd I'm it's entirety, because the people
recognize that the candidates of the Re-
publican party are men of recognized
worth Who can be trusted to discharge
their duties, not i'm the interest of the
Granger organ clique, but for the whole
people I'm non-partisan manner.
The advisory committee, appointed 10
act with the Republican city committee.
which is made up of gentlemen who stand
foremost in the business and profession
nj life OF the city, met again today and
made arrangements for carrying on
campaign that will be full OF vigor from
now until Tuesday evening next.
Every man is putting his shoulder TO
the wheel. and there is more enthusiasm
over a city election than has been seen
in Providence for many years.
THE BIG STATE PARADE.
The arrangements for the big Repub-
lican state parade, which will occur to-
morrow evening, are about completed,
and the affair will undoubtedly bo gi-
gantic success.
Col Wartield, the chief marshal. has
left nothing undone, and he has had as
surance from all over the state, which
warrants him I'm saying that IL will be
the biggest thing Rhode Island ever saw

tion.

this is no mere party contest; this is a

INCITEMENT TO RIOT.
More and more during the past few
weeks the effects OF the appeal Of our
opponents TO disorder have become man
ifest. Mr. Crockers open Indictment 10
riot az the polls Is but a fitting climax TO
the Bryanite campaign. i'm which mob
violence az political meetings has become
a recognized feature. The Kansas City
platform and those who uphold IL stand
for the forces OF disorder and OF nation
al dishonesty, and here in this state for
the forces OF civic dishonesty as well, and
when such Is the case we have the right
to appeal for teh support of every true
American.
Here, in Olean. is the home of Judge
Kruse. whom | had the honor To appoint
last yea and who has now been nom-
mated by our party and will be elected by
the people. / want TO use his appoint
-fffeft to illustrate a point which deem
OF the utmost Importance. Our opponents
throughout this campaign have appealed
not only 10 class and sectional hatred.
but have striven TO pander TO race pre-
iudice.
NO DISTITUTIoNS MADE.
We draw no such distinctions. We care
not whether he was born here or born
abroad. We care nothing for his creed.
All we are concerned with is that he
shall be good citizen. Judge Kruse
was born in Germany, and | suppose he
was the only member or the Cattaraugus
bar who was by birth German but the
only thing that / looked al I'm coming to
"A decision about him was his character
and professional capability.
! appointed him because ! thought he
was the best man and such being the
case IL was a matter of absolute indif-
ference to me where he was born.

 Court of Calhoun.

Montgomery, December H-(Special)- The fight for the successorship of the late Judge H. c. Speak is waxing hot. There were two delegations dlere today one from Madison pressing the claims of E. H. Eos ter of Huntsville and another from Lime stone, endorsing Thomas c. McClellanA Both delegations had on audience with acting Governor Jeks, and while no assurance was given by the chief executive, the friends of both candidates seem sanguine. Governor Jelks said tonight that he would not make the appointment earlier than Wednesday, and probably at a later date, but that it would come within the next few days.
 There are five applicants for the posi- tion-H. c. Kunipe of Lawrence, w. c. speake and s. P. Rather of Morgan, Thom- as c. Mcclellan of Limestone, and E. H. Foster of Madison.
