steamer Bear, were received at the Treas

RHODE ISLANDS ELEoTIoH.
The Legislature Will Eave to Choose a
Gnyernnr.

Providence. April 4th.-The result of
the eleetlon in this State yesterday in brief
is this There is no election by the people
OF Governor, Lieutenant. Governor, Secre-
tary of State, Attorney General or Treas
urer. The elections are thrown into the
Legislature, which stands thus: Necessary
for choice in the grand committee, So: Re
publicaps elected, As; Democrats elected,
So; members 10 be elected, 81. Therefore,
the control OF the State will be decided at
the second election, to be held within ten
days. The unofficial vote for Governor
shows Is, 2l7 for Ladd (Rep.), %, 667 for
Davis tDem.), i,767 for Larry (Pro.), and
73S for Chase tUnionl. Davis lacks 1901
votes OF an election. The vote for Attorney
General wes; Rogers rep, Is $50; Sio-
cum (Dem.), 20,12i; Blo6gett (Pro.), 1857.
Slocum lacks 7l9 of an election. The votes
for the other general officers stood in about
the same ratio, the figures being slightly
less.
There are many surprises in the election
under the ballot-reform law, and the result
will be mixed delegations from several
cities and towns. Nearly everybody, how
ever, is of the opinion that the law is
success, and it IS disliked only by those in
diyiduals who either wish 10 buy or sell
votes. The large total vote cast--42 424-
effectualiy disposes of the sensational le-
ports that illiterate votes were shut out by
the provisions of the law. All classes
praise the system.
The official count in Newpor: reveals the
fact that there is no election for the First
Representative or the Fourth. This makes
twenty eight members of the Assembly to
be elected. OF these the Republicans need
ten, with the sitting Lieutenant
The Democrats need nineteen to secure
control of the General Committee Assem-
bly,, which elects the State officers.

A Long War Ahead.

The Times-Democrat heads an
editorial with the question, "Will
the Senate be Democratic in 1892"
and, after discussing the matter at
full length, decides that it is quite
possible that every branch of the
Z. s. government will be in Demo-
cratic hands in, 1893. 1t decides
that in March 81 the Senate will
stand Democrats 80, Republicans
40; but, while the prospect is good
for Democratic control in 1888,
there is chance that the Republi-
cans may be able to hold the bal
lance until 1895. Thus will be
seen an exemplifcation of the old
saying that eternal vigilance is
the price of liberty" Let not our
union farmers flatter themselves
that they can accomplish such
great things by independent action,
when it is a fact that with all the
aid they can give the Democratic
party it is a question whether the
Republican league with monopoly
can be broken for five years yet to
come.

The Sub-Treasury Bill.
Times Democrat.I

1t has heen generally believed
that the turner's would abandon
the sub-treasury bill. Their ex-
perience with it has been decidedly
unfortunate. 1t was so extreme a
measure that it lost them support
which they would otherwise have
had, and antagonized large num-
Der of men very well disposed to-
ward them, and who were willing
to support friendly legislation, but
were not willing to go as far as the
sub-treasury bill went.
It was intimated that when the
alliance convention met at Ocala,
it would formally abandon meas
ure which crippled rather than as
sisted the cause, and which was so
clearly impossible of passage. The
convention, however, did nothing
of the kind, but reiterated the St.
Louis platform and declared that it
abided by the sub-treasury bill.
Ihe Dill, moreover, Is to come up
in Congress and be voted on, Jan.
IL being fixed on for its discussion.
This will afford an opportunity to
arrive at the views of Congressman
on this subject, SO that the matter
can be laid before the farmers.
It is needless to say that the bill
will be beaten by an overwhelming
majority, but it is only right that
the matter should be brought to a
vote and the arguments on it heard
pro and con. Perhaps, when the
alliance hears all the strong reasons
against the extraordinary measure
it may be induced to abandon its
advocacy of it.
