Rhode Island Election.

The State election in Rhode Island on
Wednesday of last week, resulted in
showing great republican majority, but
being split nearly in the middle there
was no choice for governor. Each Of
the republican wings are largely ahead
of the democratic vote. The republican
boilers candidate for governor is ahead
of the regular candidate. The cause OF
the bolt appears to have been partly on
the temperance question and partly be-
cause they did not like the manner in
which the q" regular " candidate had been
nominated.
The complete vote for governor is
Hazard, boiling republican, S7l4
Lippitt, regular republican, 834I
Cutler, democrat, olo9
This gives Hazard plurality of 376.
The total vote is the largest ever polled
in the State. The election of governor
now goes to the Legislature which is OF
course largely republican, but split ex-
actly on this question as the people are.
Who is governor, therefore, is not yet
known, and the result there is said to
depend upon how several vacancies now
pending are filed.

Hon. James Nj. Slade.

The Hon. James M. Slade of Middle
bury, died at his residence in that place
on Saturday evening, aged 81 years and
months. Mr. Slade was well known
throughout the state. He was son O.
Hon. VIM. Slade, af whom a reminis-
cence will be found on the first page OF
this paper. He had always taken an
an active interest in politics, and fire.
quently held positions of honor and trust
He was Lieut.. Governor in 1856 and
1857, served in the legislature several
years as clerk and member of the house,
was member Of the COUNSEL of censors
in 1856 and of the constitutional con-
ysntion of 1870.
He was an early champion of the anti
slavery cause and always stood by his
faith with Roman frmness. He was a
member of the Methodist church for
forty years, in which he was very active.
OF his last moments the Middlebery Reg
lister says.
His malady, chronic disease of the liver
complicated with other difficulties, had
sometimes since taken what seemed to
be fatal form, but he suffered scarcely
any pain. and during the week previous
to his death, until Friday, he had been
apparently better. On Friday he was
taken with severe hoarseness and the de.
cline from that time was rapid and con
tinuous. About three o'clock Saturday
afternoon he commenced sinking and al
eight o'clock all was over. The spirit
had forsaken its tenement of clay and
returned to God who gave it, He passed
away in the full possession Of all hi
mental faculties, yet with his mind a
rest, giving a practical illustration o
the triumphs of faith in the blessed Re
deemer. He had made full and complet,
arrangements for his funeral, giving di
rections for minute details He kney
his family and gave tokens of recogni
ton almost at the last moment, after til,
power Of speech had failed" In bust
ness life Mr.. Slade had been successful
He leaves familw consisting ofwife TIVE
sons and two daughters, besides wild
circle of reletives and friends.

The St. Louis Republican tells its
old democratic friends that it is not they
who are beating the Republican party
but the dissatisfied Republicans who
have joined them out of sheer despera-
tion, and that these recruits will go back
again unless they find a better party than
they left.
The republicans carried the municipal
election at New Britain, CT, Monday,
electing all their candidates by majorities
ranging from 80 to 400. Mayor S W
Hart was reelected by 1919 majority over
Austin Hart. Last week the democrat
