THE DEMOCRATIC CITY TICKET.

The Democracy of Providence has nominated
municipal ticket that ought to and undoubtedly
will appeal TO every Democratic and Independent
voter in the city Every candidate whose name
appears upon it has record servant OF the
public that entities him TO the full confidence and
hearty support OF that great body OF citizens who
desire and demand honesty and efficiency i'll public
office
=. j. Mccarthy, Esq. who has been made the
Democracy's candidate for mayor has served the
people OF Providence both as a member OF the
common council and representative in the
general assembly with marked ability and un-
wavering devotion. He is an uncompromisng foe
of boss rule and corporate domination and the
city's executive he will be the fearless guardian
of the rights and interests OF the people against
the raids OF the predaceous rngsters who have
secured lodgment at the city hall, and against the
predatory corporations that plot the further pill
laying of public franchises.
DIR. Mclaughlin has served the community
with signal distinction on the school committee and
by character by education and by natural ability
is emnently fitted TO discharge the important and
exactng duties of city treasurer to the entire salts
faction Of his fellow citizens.
OF John II. Mcguire il can be said without
hazard of contradiction that during his term OF
service he proved the most efficient and alert
harbor master the city has ever had. He knows
the duties of the Office and knows. too, how to
perform them capably and honestly. Had he been
in office when the Chinese smuggler arrived i'll this
port instead of a man who believes the chief duty
OF an office holder is to draw his salary, twenty
four of the forty-two coolies would not have
escaped to take up residence in country from

Mr. Cummings career as overseer OF the poor
has been as long as it has been conspicuous for
efficiency. ability and faithfulness. Years ago
right thinking citizens realized the value OF his
services and determined TO retain them, whatever
changes the mutations OF political fortune might,
work in other municipal offices. Mr.. Cummings is
the right man in the right place; and i'll that place
he will be continued by the emphatic vote OF his
fellow citizens.
Providence Democracy is one that commands the
confidence and respect of all good citizens There
is not a weak place in it. IL will give to this COM
munity that honest. able and fearless admnstra-
tion OF public affairs the people desire and which
they can have only by voting right when they 90 to
