Mayor Honey, of Newport, r. L., seems to think
| that he is bigger man than the Legislature, the
Governor and pretty much all the rest Of the
State. At least he has taken the responsibility

tim has taken place and that special session or
| the legislature may be necessary to enable the
Presidential election to be held in due and regular
oraer Republicans cannot fail TO profit by this
nxbihition Of Democratic folly, but the compica-
,ion WINS utterly unnecessary and will be expen-
| give, all the same.

sent the issues of the canvass in such way as TO
win votes Tie more political speeches Mr. Depe~
makes this autumn the better.
