REPUBLICAN DOODLE TRIUMPRS
OVER THE DEMOCRATS.

Their Candidates for Governor and
Secretary of State Both Elected By
the Popular Vote-The Legisl lature
Also Carried By the Enemy, and the
Selection of the Rest Of Their Ticket
Therefore Assured.
PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 7.-Complete
returns from all parts of the state show a
total vote on the state ticket of 81, ,746, an
increase of 10000 over the largest ever
polled before. The two parties raked every
city and town almost bare of voters and
got out an unexpectedly and unprecedent-
edly full vote both in actual numbers and
in proportion to the presidential vote. The
finished returns show great republican
victory. On the state ticket Brown,
rep, for governor, polled 27,464; Ward
we'll, dem, 25,SS5; Gilbert, pro-, 1857;
Burton, peoples candidate, 1SS, and there
we're 75 scattering votes. These figures
show a plurality of 2,019 for Brown, rep,
and majority of 22e. Bull and Utter, the
republican candidates for lieutenant COVER
nor and secretary of state, are also elected
by small majorities, but there is no election
The cities Of Providence, Newport and
Woonsocket went democratic on the state
ticket.
THE LEGISLATURE.
The legislative returns show good re-
publican majority in both branches already,
with tweuty-one vacancies yet TO be filed.
In the Senate the republicans have thus
far elected twenty-three OF the thirty-six
members, and in the House thirty-slx Of
theseVenty-two members. This gives them
sixty-one and on joint ballot a majority
of six besides the vacancies yet to be filed
by second elections Most of there failures
to elect are in Providence and Ne ewport. In
the tormer city only three of the thirteen
members of the legislature were chosen and
in Newport only one out of six. The other
failures were scattered among small towns.
Control OF the legislature by the repub-
licans gives the choice OF their candidates for
attorney general and general treasurer and
secures beyond doubt the re-elsetiou Of
Nelson ". Aldrich to the United States
Senate. The republicans are feeling very
jubilant, as they have secured everything
10 be desired, or the assurance of everything
legislative, all their state officers and United
States senator, while the democrats are
crestfsllen, having nothing to hope for from
the second elections except local influence
and Endorsements. as the postponed trials
cannot affect the result in any important
respect.

aldermen held q session to-day to count the
legislative ticket voted on yesterday. The
