Lieut. Gov. Stevens Caught in a Trap.

PoovIDEAcE, April 3.-The Rhode Island
State Election was held to-day and awakened
more than usual interest by the fact that about
5000 Democratic registry voters had their taxes
paid for the first time in two or three years
The result, however, is the election of the Re-
publican State ticket except the Lieutenant
Governor, and Republican Legislature. A
special issue was made against the Republican
candidate for Lit. Gov, the present incumbent,
Parton w. Stevens, because of his alleged con-
nection with trap fishing" and he is probably
defeated by Chas. r. Cutter, Democratic candi-
date, by small majority, although the scat
tering votes may throw the election into the
Legislature, when the Republican candidate
VIII be elected. The Journal has returns from
an the towns in the State except Block Island.
The footings are as follows: Governor, Seth
Padelford, (Rep.) 1885; Olney Arnold dem
SOS; Lieut.. Governor, L. w. Stevens, (Rep.l
