PROSPECT OF A CLOSE AND EXCITED CONTEST
To-DAY-PRoBABHIrY OF THE ELECTION OF
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.
BIZ TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
NEWPORT, r. l., April 3, 1877.
Rhode Islands election for Governor takes place TO.
morrow and it will, without doubt. BIO the most excit-
ing contest which has occurred for many years. The
republican candidate is General Charles Collins Van
Zandt, OF Newport, and his democratic competitor is
J. B. Barnaby, Of Providence Mr. Barnaby
Is rich and the registry taxes OF the
democrats are well paid up, an unusual thing In this
republican State. The republicans thought their can
didate could be elected without any difficulty, hence
they gave but little attention TO the early stages the
campaign They did not think It necessary pay
up tho registry taxes 10 any great extent, being led
into trap by the democrats who caused be gen.
orally understood that thoy did intend to put out
came. and hour $1,000 taxes
among the republicans Tho LIQUOR elemens has
worked heartily with the democrats The fact that
General Van Zandt received the nomination at both
the republican and prohbitory conventions is, how
ever, great help 10 him. He Is o man of scholarly
attainments, with dignity Of bearing which would
do honor TO the State should he be elected.
MAJoRlTIEs CLAIMED.
II claimed that Providence county will give at least
1000 majority for Barnaby, and should this cxpecta-
she success of the republican ticket. Newport county

FEDERAL OFFICIALS IN THE ELECroX

HAYES POLICY IN THE CONTEST.
Tho Same paper adds THE success OF tho revolt
would mean that President Hayes opinions taken
q strong hold Rhode Island republicans, and that
they mean to oppose any assault upon those principles
even when made in President Hayes name"
THE PROBABILITIES.
General Van Zandt claims hts election tonight by
small majority, say 1000 Democrats equally
ndent of electing their candidate. Mr.. Van Zandt
believes that Governor Lippitt is using
his influence for the defeat of Van Zandt
II Is q we'll known fact that Van Zandt tho cause

has always held IL against HIM. 1t Is certain that
many republicans will vote the democratic ticket and
many more will remain away from the polls
