than Mckinley as its exponent.-Boston
| Herald.

but there seems to be many people who
are altogether of the Herdlds opinion.
The Democracy of Rhode Island can be
| trusted to indulge in internecine strife
| upon the slightest preteXt.-Journal.
1t occasionally happens, and in the
happening lends an agreeable variety to
life, that the esteemed Journal, likewise
the esteemed Bulletin, says thing
| that's SO.
Gov. Hill says the New York Senate will
| be Democratic. Not unless the voters
have so decreed it, we trust. Counting in
