THE REAL ALDICH A Sue
CESSFUL BUSINESS MAN

when Aldrich came to Washington
20 years ago he was a comparatively
poor man with a large family. Today
he Is reputed to be several times a
millionaire. The foundation of his for
tune was laid in consolidating the
street railways of Providence, which
he still controls. Through the associa-
lions which he formed in that trans
action with men of capital he has been
able to accumulate great deal of mon
|ey. But 1t is characteristic of Aldrich
that although he has become wealthy
his habits Of life are as plain and I'M
assuming as they always were. He has
never set up an establishment in
Washington. Occasionally he has &C.
cupted a rented house, but of late years
he has always lived at the Arlington
Hotel when Congress was in session,
while his family have preferred to live
quietly in Providence. He has five
sons and three daughters, but none of
them has ever cared for the society of
the capital. He dimes out a great deal
and is socially inclined, but his tastes
are simple. He cares nothing for the
usual recreations of men of great
wealth. He has never owned yacht
or a fast horse. His only recreation
has been in occasional trips abroad. A
few years ago he bought several farms
at Warwick Neck, on Nairagansett
Bay, few miles from Providence, and
he is gradually transforming them into
a summer home. In time he will have
an estate there which will rival the
greatest estates along the New Eng
land coast, but meanwhile he lives in
one of the comfortable old farmhouses
as simply and plainly as if that were
all he had in the world. 1t was in this
old farmhouse, which will be torn down
before long, that the wedding of his
second daughter and John d. Rookie
Teller, Jr,, took place few weeks ago.
Stories of the priacely elaborateness of
that affair had their origin in the inn
agination of the newspaper men.
I'm personal appearance Aldrich is
one of the handsomest men in public
! life. He has a well-knit frame. His
finely cut face beams with good humor.
Twenty years ago, when he came to
the House, his hair was wavy and jet
black, which gave him a striking APP
lpearance. Now 1t is rather sparse and
gray, and the mustache is gray. But in
spite of that he is 1.-THE and agile as a
boy. He is a good type of the success
! full business man who has brushed
up against all sorts of people and
knows how to live-a man Of the world.

not worrying about other peoples ills"

the work is not in sight. Mr.. Dolan
stated to The Spy reporter that he had
expended up 20 the present time $4,000
on the highways This is 1896 more than
the appropriation and the excise tax.
When asked whence the money that is
needed to defray the expense Of the
snow bills is to come he stated that he
did not know certainly, but supposed
that the miscellaneous appropriation,
or part of it would De used Work like
that done Tuesday must be performed
if the streets are to be kept in any sort

money must be appropriated at the

FLETCHER AND LICENSE
(Continued from Page IL

Mayor O'Connell came into the
clerks office about 1890 o'clock to see
how things were going. He was greet
ed by cheers from the crowd. Several
of his personal friends encouraged him
to believe that he would be reelected,
but he did not say anything decisive
at that time. A little before u o'clock
| 1t was seen to be a Republican vic
tory, and the crowd filed slowly out.
Apart from the mayoralty contest,
there was a general feeling in the ear
ly part of the evening that the city
would go no-license, but that idea was
quickly dissiDated by the large vote
rolled up for license as shown in the
/ late returns.
The aldermanic candidates were
many Of them there in person and
some of them looked anxious, as they
had good reason for so doing. The Re
publicans had been counting on at
least seven and probably eight alder
men, but they had to be contented with
six The personal popularity of the
three Democrats elected had much to
do with their large vote. Both Alder
men Wilhelm G.. Licht6nfels and Ed
ward J. Mcmahon Dolled a vote large
ly in excess of a number Of RepublI-
cans who had expected to make the
upper board with comparative ease
When the final totals had been read
off, the crowd gave little manifesto
tion Of enthusiasm showing that the
sympathies Of the majorities were with
the defeated candidate for mayor
Among those present in the clerks
office were: Alderman Edward j. Nc
MahOn, Senator John F. Munroe, City
Treasurer Fred w. White Norman

The election was a bitter disappoint-
ment to the Democratic friends Of
Mayor Philip J. O'COnneI while the
enemies he has made in his own party
by not giving the men opportunity
to graft glOated over his downfall The
friends Of the mayor know where the
knife was put into him and they say
there is a day of reckoning coming and
the men who are instrumental in
bringing about the defeat Of the mayor
are all in.
The suspense during the early hours
of the evening was intense but when
the returns from the precincts inWards
three and four, where the mayor was
slashed came in. they realized it was
all up with them and only the most
sanguine hoped for a win.
The Democrats who were instrument
tai in putting the knife into him were
around trying TO look cheerful and
when one Of them was charged with
his treachery he said the day was the
proudest in his life.
The mayor remained at home until
1880 and then he came down town to
the city clerks office. As he entered
the City Hall. he was greeted with
cheers and applause and made his way
to the clerks office with difficulty as
his admirers 1ocked around him and
congratulated him on the run he had
made. He remained at the city clerk 3
Office until after II and then went to

Club where the demonstration there
showed he was in the house OF his

friends. Some of the members of the
club were so overcome at the news of
his defeat that they shed tears but
they vowed all kinds of vengeance on
the Democrats who knitted him.
The campaign headquarters were
kept open until nearly midnight as the
men who managed the mayors cam
paign hoped until all but the last two
precincts were in. They then gave up
the ship, closed the headquarters and
went home filled with sorrow.
Mayor O'Connell was found at the
rooms of the Washington Club and
when asked for a statement, he gave
the following:
q have but very little to say at
this time as ! have not had time to
make a careful investigation of the
vote / am very grateful to the
committee of 25 for the splendid as
sistance furnished me throughout
the campaign and to those members

Mcmahon, 1.-The pleasure Of my victory
is nothing. l would rather go down In
defeat with your grand record than be
a winner tonight. The jubilation over
my victory is entirely lost sight of in
the sorrow over your defeat" He
wrung the mayors hand heartily and
then turned to receive the congratula-
tions Of his associates in the club for all
are pleased at his handsome endorse
ment.
The man who took his defeat most
good naturally on the Democratic
ticket is John B. Ratigan one Of the
candidates for alderman. He said he
is used to it and laughed it off but he
had to listen to three cheers for him
self and the mayor as balm to his
wounded feelings.
Delbert D. Morgan said he did not
expect to get elected and therefore did
not feel very badly.
