the principles of equitable protection, reciprocity and sound money. He was frequently urged to accept nomination for various public offices, but persistently declined until the fall of 1889, when he was nominated on a fusion ticket and elected to the Providence City Council, where he served during the years 1890–1892 and 1894. In 1891, 1892 and 1903 he was elected to the House of Representatives of Rhode Island, and made a good record in the Legislature. He was opposed to granting special privileges to public service corporations without adequate compensation to the public for franchises in public highways. In November, 1906, he was elected Mayor of the city of Providence, and the best tribute to his first year’s record in that office is that he was re-elected in 1907 by a greatly increased plurality. While Mayor McCarthy is a firm believer in the principles of Democracy and appreciative of the honors the Democratic party has conferred on him, he has always felt it to be his first duty to observe the wishes of the people as a whole, rather than those of a party or faction. He has been fearless in his disregard of partisanship and has won the respect and admiration of all good citizens by his official acts as Mayor. Mr. McCarthy is a many-sided man. As an official he is conspicuously successful. He has always represented the whole people, and never attempted to gain favor by the sacrifice of principle. He is a sound lawyer, enjoying the respect of the Court and the confidence of his clients. Better than that, he is a true friend, warm-hearted, clear-headed and helpful, and a loyal, patriotic American citizen. Address, 49 Westminster Street, Providence, R. I.
