Suffrage men broken up GOUernor D0rr re-
tired from the feld-htS Ietter-the killed AMI
wounded-One man tainted.
The news from Rhode island is disastrous
to the Suffrage party Of that State. In our
paper of yesterday we said:
"The'pnnc'pIes for which the Suffrage par
ty are contending, are immulabIe lfthey
ere put down now, thev never can be annihi-
lated. The State Of Rhode Island will have
no peace uutl liberal extension of this right
is granted, 10 the whole people,"
This we still believe, though the party main
tanning those great principles of justice and
equality have for the present been put down.
Ii appears that the number Of men under arms
with Governor Dorr has been greatly exagger-
ated by the Providence papers; al no time had
they exceeded 300 When the battalion
under Col Brown advanced upon them on
Tuesday morning. they Immediately laid
down their arms aud retired from the field.
About 100 prisoners were taken, and it was
expected that more would be secured. Gov
ernor Dorr relied about 2 o'clock on monday
evening with about 80 men in the direction
Of Connecticut. The Chronicle says that
Walter S, Burgess, Suffrage man, received
letter from him, stating that he (Gov. d.
had become convinced that the majority Of
the Peoples Constitution folks were opposed
10 this movement and favorable TO The late law
passed by the Assembly. extending suffrage
and that he should therefore advise his forces
to dsband at once.
The only serious disturbance during this
campaign was at Pawtucket to which place
a company of Kings soldiers were ordered.
The inhabitants not liking this display of
military force in their pesceaple village com.
menced kissing them and throwing stones and
other missiles. They we're ired upon three
times, the last discharge killing one man,
Alex Kllby. and wouuding two others.
The "Journal" says that two of the Char-
ter men were killed, one an officer, but whelh-
way accounts differ. Nothing else of very
serious nature happened, except to the man
who brought the dispatches from Chepachet
who either from fright or exhaustion tainted
Immediately on his safe arrival in Providence,
but the Journal says Mr.. Hayford, ofthe eea
Fencbles, is in no immediate danger, and will
probably be quite we'll in few hours"
We rust the Rhode Island difficulties are
ended' and that the Charter party will be
wise enough, 10 say nothing ofthe duty which
they owe to majority Of the population OF
that State to grant liberal extension Of The
right Of suffrage to thepeope. The justice Of
the act will be acknowledged by all, and a
permanent peace will be restored 10 the State.
The following is the letter from Governor
Dou. 1t will be seen that the order dsband-
ing or dsmissipg his military force, was issued
the day before the attack was made upon them
by the Charter troops. So Kings troops
but little 10 fear; it is, ther efore difficult 10 say
what portion Of bravery entered into their
composition.

Gloucester, R. I.,June q. 1912.
Having received such information as indus
ces me to believe that majority of The friends
of the Peoples Constitution disspprove of
any further forcible measures for its support
and believeiDg tba. the conflict of arms would,
therefore, under existing circumstances, be
but personal controversy among different
portions of our Cizens; hereby direct that
the military here assembled be dismissed by
their respective officers.
