pared to give record plurality for Gar
win, Higgins, Goddard and the entire
Democratic ticket.
There have been some faint rumors Of
treachery, and OF a deal having been
made which might account If true for the
apparent inactivity OF the Republicans.
No chance will be taken by the Democrat
ic leaders. however, and the utmost efforts
will be made 10 get out the full Demo-
cratic vote, so that If any treachery
should materialize the Democratic major
tiles will be so big that the result would
!! not he affected
Considerable effort has been made, IL
is said. to cause disruption in Democratic
ranks by certain politicians. but IL Is be-
leved that these efforts on the whole
have amounted to little.
L. +. c. Garvin will be given a rousing
vote I'm the Blackstone valley and If elect
ed the thousands OF working people IN
this section will have as their congress
man one who has sympathized all his life
with the toilers, and who Will put forth
his best efforts In congress In their be-
half. Should r. II. |. Goddard also be
elected to the United States senate, the
workers OF the Blackstone valley would
indeed have two men who more than all
others have proved in the past that the
prosperity OF the town Of Cumberland
was close TO their hearts.
In Senator Mckenna the voters have a
candidate who Is "A man Of the people.
who has always worked hard with his
hands who is honest. upright and consci-
entious.
He will not be found creeping up to
Brayton's knee for few crumbs for his
town. but he will represent the town like

And he will be ably seconded by Messrs.
Barry and Shea.

Since Gov Utter's eleventh-hour repu'
dation of Boss Brayton. there has been a
marked change I'm public sentiment, many
old-line Republicans being inclined 10
take the governor at his word and TO
vote either the straight Democratic ticket
or the Lincoln party ticket for general
assembly candidates.
They recognize fully the fact that TO de-
feat the Brayton nominees for the gener-
al officers Is no effective protest against
Braytonism. though II is straw to indi-
cate popular feeling.
They have come to sec that, as Boss
Brayton derives his power from the spine-
less members OF the general assembly,
they must send TO the legislature men
who will not tolerate bosssm and viii not
countenance the turning of the state cap
itol. which cost 100000 Into an auction
mart at every legislative session, and
who will make laws for all the people in
stead of for those only who pay Boss
Brayton for what they want.
AS Gov. Utter says Brayton must go,
and the only way to make him go Is to de-
feat his puppets who have been remon-
mated for the legislature IL is believed
more than likely that so many OF them
will be defeated at the election tomor-
row as to give the Democrats and Lin
coin party a majority of the Ill who have
votes IN the grand committee, thus as
surlng the election of Col X. II. l. God
dard to the United States senate.
Democrats and Republicans agree that
never before has such vigorous cam
palgn been waged. that never before have
so many speeches been delivered or so
much popular unrest been shown.
Not even I'm 1902. when determined eff
fort was made to oust the Sugery Oilrich,
with the aid OF speakers of national
prominence, Including former President
Cleveland, ex-Gov. Campbell and others,
have the signs seemed nearly so propl-
tiouS
Following are the cities and towns the
Democrats and Lncolnites seem reason
ably sure OF carrying for assemblymen

BOYS WE'RE LECTURED.
Officers Wadsworth and Landry arrest
ed a couple or boys named Farley ana
Broudr on Broadway last evening. These
boys. II is said, had been using rather
offensive language and had been annoy
ing passers-by. and they were taken to
the police station, where they were given
a severe lecture by Sergt. Gardner, and
then allowed TO go.
The space on Broadway between the
Main street bridge and the Junction OF
Cottage street has long been favorite
lounging place for boys and young men
on Sunday evenings. They gather there
in large numbers. and their language Is
at times very offensive 10 people who
have occasion TO use the sidewalk, This
is especially true for ladies without es-
cort A year ago the officers were or
dered TO put a stop 10 this, and for time
the lads were kept away, but OF late the
conditions have begun TO be worse than
ever. and II is high time that something
was done 10 put a complete stop TO IT, A
few arrests would have a most salutary
effect.

cat in a strange garnet No matter
which OF the big political parties held
control Of that branch OF the general as
sembly he would not have even place on
any OF the committees. His Influence
would be as nothing and he could be OF
no value 10 those who had elected him.
or course Mr. OConnor will not be
elected. He may however. get some
votes. Probably he will. but the voters
ought not TO be fooled into casting vote
for him. Every Democrat who votes for
Mr.. O'Connor weakens just so much the
cause Of the Democratic candidate and
helps to elect the Republican candidate
for that position. 1t may be that some
people will think that IL is good joke
TO vote for Mr.. OConnor but as Mr., Fitz-
gerald said in a recent speech In this city.
THE best joke that could be played on
Mr.. O'Connor would be 10 have him hnd
that the only vote he had received was
the one which he cast for himself

The meeting of the coal teamsters yes
torday afternoon was not so well attended
as the members have been i'm the habit Of

CURIOUS TRICKS OF THE FIRE.

The following is clipped from a San
Francisco paper:
"The San Francisco fire played curious
tricks. For instance, on the very crest
Of Russian Hill, just at the precipice ;
edge, stand two homes, known TO all
artists Of the West One belongs to
Joseph Worcester, pastor Of the Sweden
borgian Church aud right aside OF it, in
the same lot, unharmed, is the house Of
Thomas Richardson. But that is not
all There is another place in San Fran
cisco, known among the cultured the
world over, still standing unscathed. /
refer to the Swedenborgian Church, on
lyon street, near jackson. Inside the
church are several Of Keiths famous
paintings. The little church, unpre-
tentious on the outside, is one Of the
sights Of San Francisco, not perhaps a
landmark dear to the forty-niners, but a
place about which centres culture. Its
fame had crossed the continent to Europe
where hundreds will be glad that it still
stands intact"

Philadelphia Record "Nosegay."
1t seldom happens that an unexpected
JOY hits a man who is anticipating some
thing painful A young Philadelphia
newspaper man, who was very much in
love, and whose affection was returned,
went to Wilmington two months ago
and got married secretly. He had feared
to formally ask the brides stern father
for the loved ones hand. The secret was
well kept for some time, but finally it
leaked out Then the bridegroom, fear
ful that the news would reach father
inlaw's ears before he could tell him,
determined the other evening to face
the music and take the consequences.
So with fear and trembling he advanced
upon the old gentleman and told him
an. Instead Of raining curses on the
young mans head and threatening all
sorts of dire things which the son-in-
law expected to come his way the father
almost paralyzed the youth with surprise
by extending his hand and saying: 81
have little house all furnished and watt
ing for you l am glad to have you for a
son-in-law" The young couple now
occupy the house presented to them by
the pleasantly disappointing parent OF the
bride
