dent OF the common council OF Pawtuek
ct. was the principal speaker and gav'
his opinion of Governor Garvin and o
John j. Fitzgerald. In part he said:
DISTORT AND DEFY LAWS,
"Our friends OF the Democracy say the,
are seeking the same end that we arr
nghting for. They profess 10 desire th'
rule OF the whole people by the whole
people-and propose 10 accomplish VI by
taking away the power from all the res
Of the state and giving II TO Mr.. F1tzger
aid, Mr.. Barr or Mr.. Donahue-whichevei
makes the highest bid IN votes in Prov
dence--Mr. Greene and Mr.. Boyle The!
profess To desire fair name and fall
fame for our old state-and they vilify II
from one end OF the land TO the other
They profess 10 desire that strict observ-
ence OF the law which is the desire OF ev-
ery good American-and themselves sc
distort and DEFY the laws that the state
government has TO infere in two cities
and check them with police commissions.
"And. improbable and impossible as
these things are, and as little as one
would imagine intelligent men could be
led 10 believe their professions In the
face OF their practices, they have secured
one or two honest. independent men OF
note TO believe. with child-like simplicity.
that they are a party OF reform and re-
construction.
Reform, Reconstruction when the
Democratic party OF Rhode Island Is a
party OF reconstruction I'm any sense but
the reconstruction OF all the offices TO fit
their holders so they won't rattle around
The Providence River will find an outlet
on the summit OF Neutaconkanut hill.
When the Democratic party stands for
reform Balaam will have become a true
prophet.
"who are these men who come 10 the
workers ,of the state in behalf OF the
Democratic party, asking their suffraGe7
Who are they that ask you to give them
power To make laws and rule over the
people OF this state They are His Excel
iency. Gov. Garvin and the Hon. John J.
Fitzgerald OF Pawtucket

"A vote for DIR. Garvin means an In
dorsement OF his campaign of false and
slanderous accusations during the past
year. A vote for any Democratic cam

sentatives means a vote for tho abso-
lute rule of those bodies by the boss from
Pawtucket You have heard much talk
In the public prints emanuatlng from
the Garvin press bureau about the boss

Did you ever In your lives see the Re-
publicans In the house OF representatives
30 cringingly subservient to the party lash
as were the Democrats OF the last session,
abJectly into line whenever their
master cracked his whip? Fitzgerald con-
rolled the Democrats In the lower branch
