An Emphatic Protest Against Rotten

PRovIpENCE, Rhode Island, April 10
Rhode Island is democratic. The returns
from the supplementary elections are all
IN, and the Legislature is democratic ON
JOINT ballot by seven. This secures the
election Of John Davis for governor and
the entire democratic ticket. This elec-
tlon is frsught with nuch significance to
the republicans, and foretellS the election
Of two Democratic congressman this
fall and the carrying Of the state by the
democracy in 1892. The past campaign
was fought ON strict party lines. and the
popular disgust excited by the Mckinley
bill aided mot little in swelling the
democratic vote. Hon John w. Davis, who
is practically elected governor. has long
been a leader of the Rhode Island dem
ocracy, and, in the popular revolt against
Boss Br"yton and the old republican
ring four years ago WAS elected governors
Under his administration the odiouS prop
erty qualification was abolished and the
state made democratic. He has since
been elected twice bv large plurality of
the popular vote, but was defeated bv an
adverse majority in the legislature. This
Is another democratic victory achieved by
the Australian ballot system,
