part OF the rival factions.
| II would like TO suggest that Demo-
] Gratis everywhere In the state OF Rhode
Island sink their personal differences
and stand Loyalty together for the

for the denomination OF Mayor Nc

CASEY KISSED.
stephen j. Casey pleaded for party
fealty TO caucus candidates. and said
there were those in Providence who
had been sowing discord and were
already branded as traitors. He con-
sidered IL perfectly justifiable to fight !
in the caucus those whose acts In office /
one cannot approve. He wasf Kissed |
when he said that IL would be more
creditable for the Republicans TO send |
a good business man like Samuel r. |
like George Peabody Wetmore; but he /
quickly added that Col Goddard could /
and should be elected. and this senti- |
ment was warmly applauded.
Councilman Miles A. McNamee de-
clared that when outsiders came into
the Tenth TO say who should be elect
ed on the city council ticket they
get hurt" and he assumed that the
people In the Third felt the same way. |

down those who called themselves the
better element" OF the party.

application OF the term "Hessians" 10 vot-
'rs In his ward. when the vote showed
,arty loyalty. He also stated what the
aty laborers owed 10 Alderman Dunn.
