What ] have to say this evening Will
be from q business standpoint For ss
years out OF the last 10 Republican
party I'm Rhode Island has elected all It's
state officers and for 3s years out OF
the last 20 n majority OF the general as
sembly. During this time the state has
increased in wealth and population much
more rapidly than In any former period OF
her history. Can IL not be said with
truth that during this time her public
affairs, on the whole, have been honestly. |
intelIigently and wisely administered?
Has any Republican state administration
ever been justly charged with corruption, {
abuse OF power or failure, according 10 ]
its light, to look out for the best inter. I
ests OF the people? Is not this record a !
most commendable one7 Can Il be said
that the Democratic party, composed As
u Is OF many different elements hold 1
ing diverse and contradictory views on
most questions OF public policy. would
have given us a better and more honest
government? And If not in the past. WHY /
In the future7 As reasonable men. ask
yourselves the question; What good can
come OF a Democratic victory I'm Rhode /
Island?
The colonel then entered upon an |
eloquent and able exposition OF national
issues. speaking at considerable length. /
He was frequently obliged TO stop and \
walt for the cessation OF the applause /
and the enthusiasm was keen throughout I"

Colt introduced Senator Aldrich. having
high tribute 10 his services 90 the state

dear TO every resident OF Bristol "lf for
no other reason because he succeeded our
beloved Ambrose T. Burnside"

was as follows:
'Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
The victory which we feel I'm the air. i'm /
which Rhode Island will shar, will not
be complete or satisfactory unless the
people OF this great district give an en-
phatic Endorsement to the candidacy of /
Chief Justice Suness 10 the National /
House OF Representatives. This district |
has sent two great Lawyers 10 the |
House, men who added greatly 20 the re-
novn OF tho state and who served with
great credit to themselves 7 have known
