ESPECIAL TO THE SEwsl
NEWPORT, April 6.--Never In its history
has Newport seen SO exciting an election.
Long before Q o'clock all previous records
were broken In every ward. and both sides
are lighting to o finish. Convey ances,
from I landau to an express wagon, are
running round and not a single voter
will be allowed to 70 for want Of looking
after.
Old men that have taken no active in
terest for years are out working. Lively
scenes are noted AROUND the polling
booths, where the sidewalks are crowded
with enthusiastic shouters. The Demo-
Gratis claim q clean majority at this time.
The Republicans are not Growing, but
working, and victory is In the air.
An unprecedented order was issued last
night to the city workmen on highway
department. "They must either vote the
Democratic ticket or be Immediately dis
charged This has caused great disgust
and feeling. Even Democrats pronounce
il outrageous. In the Fifth ward a case
occurred this morning where a Demo
cratic official filled up a ballot entirely
his ticket contrary to the wishes OF an
i~lliterate voter. The matter will be rig
orously investigated. Col. Landers Is
hustling and says victory Is sure.

WHERE'S THE DOODLE?

The Anticipated Holding Back Of Demo-
Gratis Has Been Realized.
The New York organ Of the Demo-
cratic party and the ex-organ have been
shrieking about the immense amount Of
doodle" that was to be used here to-day.
When they began that way it was an
ticipated that the boys would sniff the
greenbacks and refuse to vote until they
saw the color OF somebody's money.
1t is q sorry thing to be Obliged to say
that the Democratic cries of distress and
hints at Doodle have had the anticipated
effect.
The Democratic vote in the First Ward
was very light up to the noon hour,
while the Republicans were coming in in
swarms.
Down in the big stables and along the
wharves the boys" sulked and refused to
go to the polls. They demanded money
before they would vote their own ticket.
and nothing but money influence them.
The ward-workers of that party cx-
pressed themselves rs disgusted with the
conduct of their men.

II FIRST WARD.

Half the Entire Vote In ut N~oon-surpris-
Ing Republican Activity.
There was an unprecedented vote cast
in the First ward.
At 1 O'Clock there were 600 ballots cast
in the First district and $40 in the Sec
ond district.
This was nearly half the entire vote of
the ward.
The Republicans showed so much ac-
tivity that the Democrats were amazed.
The Democrats asserted that the bulk
OF the Republican vote was In at l o'clock
and that from that time out the Demo-
Gratis would do about all the voting.
The real situation was this. All over
the city the electors, regardless Of party,
had voted earlier than usual, as the polls
were open at 5:20 and more than two
hours were allowed for the workingmen
to get in their votes.
Added to this big vote of the working
men, Which has heretofore been cast In
the afternoon and almost mt the last hour,
there was the large vote of the business
men as they were on their way to their
stores and Offices.
The afternoon vote is liable to be more
Republican than Democratic.

ARE THE HILL MEN KNITTING.
That They Have the Tip IL Believed In
Washington.

Washington.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.-rhe COM
Q INDUCED In here as to the bearing
which the Rhode Island election may
have on the political fortunes Of the
Democrats is varied, and amusing. 1t is
alleged by the followers of Hill that he
has many friends in that State, and they
expect out Of the eight delegates
to secure at least five, not
w~ithstanding the State convention
passed resolutions ~instructing the eight
delegates to vote for Cleveland at Chica-
GO. The statement that neither Hill or
his friends were invited to speak In that
State is not true. 1t appears that he did
receive such an invitation, n held 1t
open for some time, 6nall deciding not to
accept after he learned that the ex-Presi-
dent had decided to visit the State and to
make a speech.
1t is charged openly by Cleveland's
friends that a quiet tip has been passed
along the line to Hills friends to knife
the ticket, bat the Hill men enter a posi-
tive denial of this, and assert that they
will give the ticket a cordial support. It
Is conceded on all sides, however, that
should the State 60 Democratic under the
circumstances. it would advance the
Cleveland column.
