MOSHASSUCH VALLEY ROAD.
Interest in the plans of the promoters
OF the Moshassuck Valley railroad is very
great, especially among the people living
on the south part OF the city. One or two

An effort was made to have the city

The action OF the Consolidated road in

think you will admit that the Democratic
party has not always carried itself so as
TO allay this dstrust. There is also a
distrust against this capitalistic class on
your part, but this feeling must be Cone
away with.
This year there has come an oppor-
tunity for the people TO shake off the
trammels of political party In order to
accomplish something. The Democratic
party has recently shown great self-sac-
rifce by choosing for its candidate for
United States senator a man who repre-
sents this capitalistic class. and IL Is for
you TO elect men to the legislature In
whom you have confidence. You must
keep out OF the political arena men whose
characters are doubtful, and bring for
ward men who are known TO the people
OF the state. IL you do that, and send
good men to the legislature, then he
election OF a United States senator Will
be the very smallest benefit TO come"
COL. QUINN SPEAKS
Col Z. H. Quinn said in substance:
II don't know OF anything that would
be better than those things told you by
Mr.. Gardner. The Democratic party this
year is on trial. There is no question
that there Is a helief Of certain men that
our party is controlled by men who are
not TO be trusted and that the success of
the Democrats party would be the dis
supting OF what are called vested rights
This Is because these people and our
party have never met on common
ground. We have never been able to
show what we would do II we had controi

the memory OF most of US one branch of

that In some parts we have not been led
too easily.
There seems 20 be a feeling on the
part OF some people OF large property that
no matter what are the conditions In the
legislature. just 50 hong a. the Republican
party Is I'm power. their so-called vested
rights are safe Now Is the time when we
must convince these people that the
Democrats party Is not offlcered or led
by unsafe men. believe that these men

efface themselves temporarily TO convince
The conservative men OF the state that

could say that there is now strong dis
position on the part of the Democrats in

something.
Referring to the small inducement In

In this state, he said.
II can name you men In the Legislature,
now holding important committee posi-
tions who have gone over TO the Republi-
cans from the Democratic party for what
there was in IL. They have changed be-
cause of expedency which is another
word for political profit and graft But

some OF these men, and they are being
dropped. The party is learning ii bought

and said In part: ''The words you have

OF the obnoxious features that exist in
the present constitution really came from
the original charter. He said that this
constitution gave. as did the charter lit
tie power 10 the governor. but placed the
political power chiefly In the property
owning class.
lie spoke OF the fact that the consttu-
tion had been amended from time TO time
grudgingly when the political leaders felt
that TO refuse would occasion "A revolt.
but that stlll the greatest restrictions
were retained.

constitution gives such great power into

these conditions are not only wrong in
principle. but they tend In practical ef-
fort 20 the most frightful abuses.

private purposes. Anyone who wants

The Legislature thus elected gives away

dollars to those who secure them and

DAYS Hunting FOrty-nine Years Ago.

Il. @. Farnham, Of Burlington tells ri
hunting expedition in Milton in 1856.
At that time Burlington was not as
large az It Is now and the surrounding
country towns were primitive. Small
game was plenty and a good sportsman
found no pleasure in shooting squirrels
or cartridges because they were % NUN
erous. AZ the particular time Of the
story Mr. Farnham was sitting under a
tree near Swans corner, or what IL now
called the Widow Flynn place. He was
approached BY two strangers who wished
to no hunting for butternuts, Tho party
Of three started off and after arriving
IL promising looking three prepared
to gather some nuts. One OF the party
noticed d squirrel and from that mo
ment TIE butternut question was forgot
ten.
bag was tied 1t the mouth of an
aperture at the foot OF the tree and Mr..
Farnham cljmed up in the limbs with
a long pole. He punched the pole down
into the hollow trunk and in short
time they had twenty eight squirrels
and three woodohncks in the bag.
In concluding the story Mr.. Farnham
Farnham said it was poor day for
squirrels at that.
