The Northern Democrat is inclined
to crow over the election in Rhode
Island. The reason for the narrow
ness of the margin in this election is
not due to any change in public senti-
lnent in the state, but to the fact that
the amendment to the state constitu-
ton, passed by republican legisla-
ture and adopted by the people. re.
moved the property qualification for
voters and added over six thousand
new citizens, largely of democratic
proclvities, who naturally voted that
ticket. The same qualification here
would reduce the democratic vote
nine-tenths. Time will tell whether
the legislature acted wisely in recind-
ing the work of former democrats by
comforting on them the right of snff-
rage. IL should have been changed to
an educational qualification and their
vote would have been less than ever.
