Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Complete Report of the American-Republican Legislative Causus in Newport, 1885
Among the distinguished personages who were standing on the wharf, we noticed the editor of the Providence Journal, supported on one side by the Hon. A. C. Barstow, on the other, by the Hon. Thomas Whipple, waving his tearful adieus to Albert Sanford and Ansel E. Bradley. Rowland G. Haz ard, late a delegate to the National Republican Con vention, and William E. Richmond, President of the Citizens' Meeting at Howard Hall, lent theircountenances to the occasion. No convulsion of nature, no visible sign of the great event signalized the departure. A slight depression of the boat was noticed when Mr. Bradley stepped on board, as though she gracefully bowed to the embodied great ness of the Seventh Ward, and a scarce audible grunt escaped, but whether from the engine or the representative was not precisely apparent. As the boat rapidly descended the bay, the ?ags on both the clam houses were gaily displayed, and several men who were ducking in the river discharged their guns, as much in honor of the General Assembly as in hope of knocking over a brant.
