PROM An OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRfBUNE. !
NEWPORT, r. l., Oct. 2.-The unfortunate
position which Newport has been placed by the action
OF six taxpayers keeny regretted and II IL un-
derstood that at least OF the number s heartily
sorry FOR having led uO the trap by shrewd poll
ticIan
The whole trouble had It's birth in political feud OF
long standing and tho persons who have been Insru
mental in securing temporary injunction are not men
who are known outside OF their own wards Some OF
them have made wuat hte OF this worlds goods which
they now possess from the summer residents who, as
THE TRIBUNE readers know, pay large proportion O
the taxes.
Itis Justly claimed by the citizens that, being water
ing place Newport should show some appreciation for
she patronage which she receives from the outside
world The Summer visitors left nothing undone during
tile visit OF the English visitors that would tend to their
comfort and it will be remembered that they took the
Admiral and his officers Rocky Point and gave them
grand banquet OF their expense. 1t Is estimated
that the sum OF 100000 left here by the English
men, for they bought all OF their supplies IRON the local
business men, aad in many other ways they benefited
the place They allowed thousands OF visitors 70 come
on board OF their vessels and every day officers and
sailors were detailed them every part OF the
sections gland TO the ships, aud 1t must be
admitted that these visitors, too. lett considerable
money in the place
Itisnot believed that the Judge will sustain the in

The local paper flooded with communications de-
uouuciuE the taxpayers who have dsgraced the city,
but they are compelled 10 suppress them they
