RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
The Liquor Issue Mixes Things.
No Choice of Governor or Lieutenant
Governor.
The Remainder of the Repu blicnn Ticket
Elected by the Largest Majority Ever
Internationally Badly Mixed.

PROVIDENCE, April THE state election oc-
CURED to-day The question of the repeal of
the prohbitory law partially broke uD the po-
litical parties and renders the classification of
the assembymen impossible. There is no cleo
ton of Governor or Lieut.. Governor. The re-
mainder of the Republican state ticket is
elected by large majority-the largest ever
given in the state, with three wards and three
towns to hear from. Henry Lippitt, regular
Republican, supported by the liquor dealers
league for Governor, has 1904; Rowland fiaz
ard, Independent Republics n. supported by
the prohbitionists, has 1850; Charles Cutter
(Dem) 4,345. In this city only three of the
thirteen assemblymen are elected, and they
were run on the regular Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets Probably whether Lippitt or
Hazard shal be elected will depend upon the
result of subsequent election of assemblymen
in this city and Warwick, where also there W as
no choice,
Returns from the entire state except Block
Island give Hazard $685.; Lppitt 1886; Cutler
5138. The majority for the Republican candi,
dates for Secretary of State, Attorney General
and General Treasurer is between 10000 and
1900. The vote is the largest ever cast with
one exception.
Hazard has plurality in the city and county
of Providence and the counties of Newport and
Washington. Cutler has plurality in Kent
and Bristol counties. There are twenty vacan-
cies in the general assembly and the election of
governor depends upon the party
successful in filing vacancies at the
next trial. The choice is by law between Haz-
ard aud Lippitt. The friends of the latter

Miners, strikes,


SCRANTON April Much anxiety is fet as
to the action of the miners Of the Wyoming
and Lackawana coal region at the general con-
vention tomorrow. At that meeting deputa-
ton of miners which waited on the agent OF
the Lackawana railroad last evening, VIII re-
port the answer they received, namely that the
company cannot grant the advance OF lO per
cent. at present, and a vote will be taken 20
strike or not Messrs. Siney and WEIGH from
the Schuylkill region arrived to-day, and VIII
address the men. Although what line OF ac'
ton they intend to advancSis not known, the
men are ANXIOUS to continue work and VIII 40
so unless some extraordinary pressure is brodght
to bear upon them. The miners at the NATIONAL
mine of the Wyoming and Susquehanna Coal
Company at Miuoker, three miles from thls
city, struck to the number of 300 this morning,
for an advance of 10 per cent, and 1t IS ex-
pected that the employees of the Meadow Brook
and Fellows mixes will strike to day. Tnese
are private corporations and not at all connect
ed with any OF the large producing coal com.
panies.
HAzELToN, April Fire broke out acciden-
tally IN one of the mines of Stockton today
and the miners at meeting specially called 10
consider the question, absolutely refused to
assist in putting it out, although such action on
their part is in direct opposition to their inter-
ests: message from Stockton has just arrlV-
ed for assistance to put out the fire, and
squad of special police detailed for that pur-
pose. Linderman proprietor of the Stockton
company, has telegraphed here offering our
steam engine company $1,000 if they will
quench the fire. The pumps at Buck Mountain
are all idle and a raid is looked for at that
place tonight. one company of fifty men are
to be detailed for service there Immediately on
their arrival here
HAzELToN, April Two regiments of in
fantry and one of artillery are ordered and ex-
pected here to-day, About 80 special police,
who arrived last night, left early this morning

men at Highland last evening" resulted in those
men refusing to continue to work, while at
Eckley the same notices failed to iutimidate
those for whom they were intended, there being
a special police force of fifty men stationed at
that place, whish was considered sufficient
protection. The suicidal policy of the men in
stopping the pumps may be, readily understood
when the fact is stated that unless comprO-
mise should be Immediately effected it would
take from four to five months to pump these
mines dry which have been flooded, till which
time no coal can be mined and the mines must
necessarily remain idle.
The excitement among our citizens over the
meeting of last night is very great aud has for
the moment absorbed all other topics, almost
to the exclusion of outside troubles Otper.

The following is the Republican ticket of
Montour county, to wit: Prothonotary
Wilson NJ Gearhart Commissioners Geo.
w. Derr and Daniel De Long, Auditors
James McNlahon and +. NJ Sheldon. An
earnest effort will no doubt be made to elect
this ticket and unless the Democrats attend
sharply TO their business it may be success
full, in part at least. The Democratic ticket
is also strong one, which with'proper effort,
the inCucation Of harmony and sensible
good will, can be elected by the usual major
ity. Small rs the county of Montour is so
common has boiling become there that the
Democrats are split into spiteful little fac
tions, and unless they wisely put an end to
such nonsense they will soon find it impossi-
bic to elect any ticket they can nominate.
The friends of the cause every where hope to
see them forget their personal differences
and struggle alone for the success Of their
principles. This end can only be accom-
plished by a thorough acquiescence in nom
nations regularly made and an efficient and
unanimous support Of them. Union is a
bulwari irresistible in majorities and always
potential too in minorities. 1t will be well
for the Democracy Of Montour not to disre-
gard either end of the truthful saying Just
repeated.

The Erie Platform -Democratic Duty

Like the dutchman's ram who "got above
his business" by jumping over the fence from
the pasture of the sheep to that of the cows,
the delegates to the Erie convention got
themselves mixed with the Federal finances,
with what success our readers may see by
reference to the 9TH resolution. The ques-
tiOn is one with which the State and this
election have nothing to do Next year,
when there is n President and Congressman
to elect, it may have practical Importance,
but not until then.
The business of the Erie convention was
to deal with State affairs and in that regard
it has done most nobly. 1t has given us
candidates who are eminently qualified for
the positions named and are eminently prop
er men, aud as to State affairs has laid down
q platform that rc.allirms Democratic con-
victions and plainly expresses Democratic
purposes, These points were within the line
of its duty and of its instructions, and its ac-
ton in that regard meets with universal
commendation.
1t is to be hoped that the Democratic press
and speakers will see the importance of
charging home upon the Radicals their mis-
government, dishonesty, extravaganza and
corruption, in both State and Federal affairs,
but especially as regards the latter, and that
they will steadily refuse to be diverted from
this grand purpose by any attempts of the
opposition to make the finances an issue.
The people want to redeem the State from
corrupt and oppressive misrule, from extrav-
agant expenditure and squandering of pub
lie money. That is the sole business now
and at this election, and let us not be divert
ed from the discussion of that purpose. OF
course the Radical press and orators will do
their best to get up discussion on other mat
ters and bring them in issue, just as they try
to bring forward the war that closed ten
bears ago in order to distract attention from
Ishe wrongs their officials have perpetrated
upon the people. But let the Democracy
every where stick TO the text and not be fool
ed into the discussion of irrelevant sub iects
The extravaganza and corruption of Hart
ranft's administration and the Treasury Ring
of State plunderers, and the gross corruptions
of the Grant government and his third term
aspirations form the text of the issue at this
election. Let us stick to those issues and
! not be diverted from them.
