REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE LEGISLATURE.
The Legislature returns show a good repub-
licsn majority in both branches already, with
between Is and 20 vacancies yet TO be filed.
In the senate the republicans have thus far
elected 20 out OF sc members. and In the
house Al out OF ~ members This
gives them 6l on joint ballot, a majority
OF SIX, besides the vacancies yet TO be filed by
second elections. Most OF these failures 70
elect are in Providence and Newport In the
former city only three of thirteen mem
bers OF the legislature were chosen and in
Newport only one of six. The other failures
were scattered among the small towns. The
control OF the legislature by the republicans
gives them the choice of three candidates for
attorney general and treasurer and secures be-
yond doubt the reelection of Nelson W. Aid
rich to the United States Senate.
Mayor Carroll wRs defeated for representa-
tive in Pawtucket and Mayor Honey failed Of
election for a elmllar i'm
but has another chance on the second election
on Tuesday, there being no election by any
candidate for the position. The republicans
are feeling very tubilant as they
have secured everything 20 be
desired, or the assurance of everything-the
legislature, all their state officers and a United
States Senator, while the democrats are crest
fallen. having nothing TO hope for from the
second elections except local Influence and in

200 TO 600 majority, and Lieutenant Governor
Bnll and Secretary of State Utter by slightly
smaller figures. with handsome plural alities for

likely that by I O'Clock more definite
figures can be given than now The
total vote will exceed $1,000, and may reach
55,OOO--the largest on record. At this hour
there have been heard from, on the assembly
ticket, twenty-nlne towns, which give in the
senate nineteen republicans and six democrats,

In the house there are, as far as heard from,
twenty-four republicans and sixteen democrats
with no election in fifteen towns and seventeen
districts yet TO be heard from. The result
really surpasses the most hopeful expectations Of
the republicans themselves, and the unexpect-
edly good fortune seems TO have resulted from
the terrible slump made by the democrats in
