1T WAS NO ELECTION.
Woonsocket Failed to Choose ;
Mayor Yesterday.
PONDS VOTE WAS CUT DOWN
The Republicans Swept Four Wards
for the City Council and Will See
Their Man Through Triumphantly
Next Time.

The results Of yesterdays vote is ex-
actly as was predicted by the NEWS, the
Republicans triumphantly sweeping four
wards for the City Council and no cleo
tion for mayor. The most surprised and
disappointed men this morning are the
Democrats who had fondly hoped to see
Pond elected, but who instead find his
vote of last year cut down by 26o. The
strength of Getchell's vote was a surprise,
as 400 was the outside figure conceded him.
1t is very evident from study of the
returns that he pulled three votes from
the Democrats TO one from the Republi-
cans, as Pothiers vote is only seventy
nine less than last year. The NEWS pre-
diction on the total number OF votes
polled was exceedingly close, 2,010 being
predicted for the total vote, with sixty for
Gilbert and 800 for Pond
The next city council will consist Of four
Republican aldermen and eleven Republi-
can councilmen, against one Democratic
alderman and three councilmen, with no
election for one councilman from the Sec
ond ward. The Republicans are elated
over the result in the Second ward as it
was feared that Horton, who is an exceed
ingly popular man, would run ahead of
his ticket and defeat Bradford, who on the
contrary received the largest majority ever
given a Republican in that ward, fifteen
votes. A very fine point of law arises in
regard to the vote for common council in
that ward. Buzzell, Fenton and Rowan
poll the three heaviest votes on the ticket,
i56, 145 and l43, respectively, but it was
found that there had been 2S9 votes cast,
making las necessary for choice, which
gives Fenton one-half vote majority, and
Rowan lacks two ballots. An official
count will be necessary. The following is
the vote in detail:

Judge Wilbur defined the several
classes of crimes which will come up for
their consideration in the jury room during
the next few days, dwelling with special
Importance on the subject of criminal
libel and what it consists of, there being
one case of this kind on the present
docket. Atty Gen. Burbank expressed il
as his opinion that the grand jury would

HARRISON'S MESSAGE.
1t Will be Brief, but Its Recommend
ations Vigorous.
NO MEDDLING WITH FINANCES,
The Chilean Situation - Satisfactory Ex-
plantations OF the Baltimore Outrage
Must be Given or Recourse TO War VIII
be Advised-secretsry Fosters Condi-


WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-The Presidents
message will be sent TO Congress on
Thursday, and Secretary Fosters report
on Friday.
Mr.. Harrison's message will recommend
that vigorous measures be pursued against
Chile; IL will praise Minister Egan and
will call attention to the necessity of an
ultimatum, and even war, IL Chile delays
giving satisfactory explanations.
AS far as financial matters are con-
c.rned IL is believed that both the presi-
dents message and Secretary Fosters re-
port will be almost identical. II
is thought that the Presidents mes
sage will be comparatively brief,
and the space which will probably
be devoted TO financial affairs will contain
but brief reference to the silver question.
IL is believed the present administration
Will stand by the present law on this sub
ject AS IL is considered satisfactory.
IL is the talk here that free silver bill
will probably pass the House, and possi-
bly, similar bin may go through the
Senate, but IL is almost certain that such
bill will be vetoed by the President.
Secretary Fosters disease has assumed
a atyphoid form, but he is reported some
what better this morning. His fever has
been reduced and he is resting easily.

NO RECOUNT LIKELY.
The Facts in Regard to the Count
of the Senatorial Vote,

Mayor Smith said to-day in regard to
the appointment Of committee by the
Democratic city committee to ask the
aldermen to recount the votes Gar senator,
that it was not possible to do it fairly.
The ballot law provides that the count Of
the aldermen shall be final. When the
ballots are received by the city clerk from
the wardens they are sealed up and remain
so until they are ready TO be counted by
the aldermen. When once opened they are
net sealed up again and lie in the ante
room until the count is finished. They are
then in the hands Of the city clerk and his
assistants and remain unsealed. Usually
the ballots are destroyed at once, though
in this case, they happen to be still in the
city clerks safe.
Besides this, Mr.. Hahn was allowed to
handle one of the packages in which he
claimed there ought to be more Demo
cratic ballots, Ii is plain that a count
now would not be a fair one. Anyone
could have tampered with the ballots
after they were counted.
Ii Mr.. Hahn should ask the Supreme
Court for a mandamus the court would
no doubt refuse TO grant IL, and even II
the Board of Aldermen should be directed
TO recount the votes the General
Assembly, which is the judge of the cleo
ton and qualification OF its members,
would decide that such a proceeding was
irregular
The committee of the Democrats had
not made any request OF the mayor or
board of aldermen at noon to-day. The
Democratic party had representatives in
the board who were competent to see that
the counting was fairly done, and the
work is so thorough that a mistake is al
most impossible.

A CLEVELAND DEFEAT.
Real Meaning Of Crisp's Nomination
for Speaker.
THE TAMMANY TIGER ON TOP.
Mills Is Defeated and His Followers Feel
Bitter - Little Harmony Probable
Among the Democrats >4eveland and
the Democratic Platform.

WASHINGTON, Dec s.-Charles Frederick
Crisp, Of Georgia, was nominated for
Speaker in the Democratic caucus last
night. 1t required thirty ballots to arrive
at the result and it was brought about by
McMillin and Springer going over body
and boots to the Georgian. The last bal
lot gave Mills l04 and Crisp 119. Mills and
his followers are not only disappointed;
they are bitter. No recent Speakership
battle has left so much bad blood behind
1t, and n is probable that the session viii
frequently see the House divided into
three sides
The result may be .aptly described. as
"Tammany's conquest, for it is distinctive
ly and essentially victory for Tammany,
which now controls not only the organiza-
tion of the committees of the House of
Representatives, which for two years to
come will frame and shape all national
legislation enacted into law, but also nine
teen-twentieths of all the Offices and places
within the gift of the House 1t is vic
tory which has been won against what
seemed to be heavy odds, for against
Judge Crisp were arrayed all the forces
which Grover Cleveland and his partisans
could control and place in line of battle
The result is not that of the free, un-
representatives of the people it is simply
the triumph of the anti Cleveland faction,
eager and hungry for the power and spoils
of Office over the Cleveland faction, which
is equally eager and hungry. OF course,
the atmosphere is already thick with
stories of deals" and of corruption.
There is the best Democratic authority
for the statement that neither Crisp nor
Mills is fit or worthy TO be Speaker of the
House Of Representatives. Over and over
again have Mills's partisans repeated
their accusations that the election of
Judge Crisp would be the triumph of
boodlers, lobbyists, and other corruption
lists of various kinds and degrees, and now
the majority of the Democrats in the
House Of Representatives has nominated
that man. Mills's Democratic newspaper
organs have solemnly and repeatedly
warned Democratic representatives that
the election Of Judge Crisp would turn
backward the hands Of the dial of Demo
cratic reform and progress" and cause
the defeat of the Democratic party next
year.
