Robert Grieve OF Providence. who spoke
az considerable length on the duties which
faced the people for a decision at the
coming election.
The last speaker was John j. Fitzgerald
and his remarks were characteristic OF
the gentleman lie began by declaring
, that when he found that someone had
put obstacles I'm the way OF his doing
| something that was just the one thing he
desired most ardently to do lie believed
| that when the Republican party placed
such obstacles in the way OF the people
getting their names on the voting lists
| IL was the one thing the people should
| attend to- He declared II was not the
| fault of Marsden j. Perry, or Charles r.
| Brayton or Nelson w. Aldrch that the
| people were deprived OF their rights. but
that the fault lay with the people them
| selves, whom these men used for their
| own purposes. and that when the people
4 woke up 10 their duty and elected men to
| the legislature whom they wanted, there
would be placed on the statute books
laws which would grant the rights now
| denied. lie spoke OF the many labor
| measures which from time 10 time have
| been turned down by the Republican
| party and said that until the Democrats
were given the power to make a change
| In the laws there will be no relief from
the conditions which now prevail
He referred 20 the recent convention
which had placed in nomination for
United states senator Col II. II. /. God
dard. and he expressed the belief that
this nomination would be followed by a
ratification by the people; that instead OF
man like George Peabody Wetmore
whose chief qualification Is that he fol-
lowed the dlctation OF his colleague Mel
son w Aldrich the state would be repre-
sented In the upper house OF congress by
4 a man who believed In the people and
who would vote for measures that were
| for the good OF the people.
lie closed by an urgent appeal TO every
| man who had not attended to the duty of
registering to 20 10 the city hall before
next saturday night and see that his
name was on the registra ton books.
