A GOVERNOR IN FACT.

The short session of the Legislature
at Newport is the test period OF the
character of the chief executive. 1t is
the time when both his political friends
and enemies watch him and his work
with the keenest interest. The crucial
days of his apprenticeship are passed
amid new duties, amid new surround
ings, and under the responsibility OF the
high Office to which the people have
called him. At that time the governor
shows the abilities which he possesses,
and lays the foundation for the years
work which lies before him.
For Gov. ID. Russell Brown that
period has been passed. He who was
two months ago Mr.. ID. Russell Brown
is now Gov. Brown in fact. Tried and
tested, he is found TO be none other in
Office than he was before his nomination.
A plain business man, whose success in
mercantile life was an indication, but
not necessarily guarantee that the
same success would attend his political
career, he has carried those same traits
of honest and painstaking work into the
new field which he has entered.
The outward show of the Office
and the superficial ceremonies while
attended to by him with scrupulous
punctuality which is characteristic OF
the man, have been evidently looked
upon by the Governor in the proper
light. The real duties and work Of the
chief executive of the State are quite
in different line, AMI he has met them
as they deserved. 1t was a somewhat
unusually trying position for an officer
elect this year at Newport. Conditions
were not pleasant to contemplate.
There were threats of the opposition
which, if they could have been carried
out, would have placed Governor Brown
in very unpleasant position. And the
outlook was no brighter even to the
moment when the result Of the action
of the Legislature was made known.
But the Governor was equal to the occa-
sion. His patience and courtesy were
not found wanting.
There is little need of details, how
ever, the citizens have watched him
carefully and there can now be little
doubt that during the ensuing year SO
auspiciously begun, he will be actuated
by the same firmness of purpose, the
same reserved force of character and the
same untiring energy which have been
his traits before and which will make
his present year of Office not time
when we shall have simply governor
in name but one whose acts Will stamp
him as a governor in deed as well.

ply II they imply anything. What
must the people of the State think OF
such a man? They knew before that
he was liable to error, that he is accused
of serious acts in connection with the
votes at Newport, but they could not
before have been aware of the cloven
foot which so plainly appeared in his
utterances Of yesterday, they could not
have understood to what end his blind
partisanship and selfish anger would
drive him.
This is the man with whom the com
mittee on elections have to deal. Lee
gally he is entitled to fair hearing,
and he will get it. But morally his
confession Of his partisan judgment and
his threats to the citizens of the State
show that whether elected or not, he is
unfit to represent an intelligent con-
stituency in any capacity whatever.

Of Mr.. willard i. Lansing upon

wOrkingmen will soon begin In

MIR. Lansing will visit the most

I'm general. He has also letters

The manner Of Mr.. Lansing's
selection for this task was a
result Of the intense excite

election i'm Rhode Island. In a
newspaper "coupOn contest 4" to
select a representative working
man for this mission, Mr.. Lans-

his fellow wOrkmen Of the fair
ness and perfect justice Of his

TO THE CITIZENS OF WARWICK.

The citizens of Warwick, our sister
community, have before them impor-
tant questions to decide on Monday
next, and those of us who look mt Old
Warwick from a distance expect the
usual Republican victory which the
voters are won't to give in that town.
The opportunity is ripe. The Demo-
Gratis are divided, and that, too, by per-
sonal issues which are of the most fatal
kind. But the triumph which the Re-
publican party ought to achieve on June
o should be due TO other causes than
this. A more intelligent list Of candi-
dates could not have been pre-
sented to the people of the town
for their support. Most of them are not
untried, but bring with them long and
honorable experience covering years of
service. The Town Council, headed by
the Hon. Enos Lapham, whose plain,
practical and everyday common sense
fits him for the position he fills, should
add another year to his long term Of
honorable service. 1t has not been the
aim of the Council to seek popularity
through notoriety. The welfare of the
public will be well guarded in the fu-
ture as in the past. Relying upon the
practical result Of its honest en-
deavors, it has right to ask
for and to receive from the people of
Warwick an unlimited amount of sup
port especially should this support be
ungrudgingly and unsparingly rendered
by the members of the two posts of the
Grand Army in whose behalf the council
has always shown the greatest liberality.
We shall expect the Republicans of
Warwick to stand by their party and
show that their home interests are not
to be sacrificed by those absent and not
voting,

The Mugwumps have been smiling of

them to read in the Baltimore News, a

day for the election of delegates to the

kept the whole party, with the exception
of the bosses and healers, sin ignorance
of the places where the election was to
be held and the names Of the judges and
clerks"
"A primary held under such manage
ment,' continues the Ne,cs, ''can be
nothing but farce. No party man
need consider himself bound by it, for
it cannot be considered, in any degree,
the expression of the party's will" Cor
man is laying his plans to get the Demo
cratic nomination. The NEws has twice

cOoLLY RODE UP AND DOWN THE LINE.
this brigade was formed for him in the
Fourth Army corps, and his Buckeye lads
were permitted to go along. This deal il
was that took him again to middle Tennes-
see in the stirring wrestle to keep Hood
from carrying the war back to the Ohio
river, while Sherman was off to the sea.
Both Opdycke and his old regiment were
at home on the new theater. They had
skirmished around Franklin. and captured
and garrisoned the post, when the army
marched south in 1868. Back to Franklin,
only a days march from Nashville, the
army of defense hastily retired, Hoods
veterans logging at its heels-that is, when
they were not harassing at its shoulders
and even its head. Late in the afternoon Of
the 30th of November the brigade saw the
army within the Notifications south Of the
town and went little way back from the
front breastworks to take a breathing
SMELL. which the men had earned by serv-
ing as rear guard on the march that day.
Opdycke had no orders except to rest his
troops. The soldiers were getting ready
their suppers or munching raw rations
when the breastworks they had just
marched by were carried by lightning
rush of the Confederates, who then were
at their heels The men instinctively
threw down their handfuls of bread and
pork and took up their weapons.
The moment the men in gray were seen
swarming and shooting on the line where
they had no business TO be, Opdycke's
commands rang out as calmly and clear
cut as though he had rehearsed them
though surely no such combination of or
ders had ever been called for Heretofore.
First brigade, fall ini Charge bayonetSl
Double uuickr' were the words.
Opdycke rushed to do his part, squirting
his horse toward the point and shooting
right and left with his revolver. After
emptying the chambers he dubbed the
weapon, and after breaking the barrel from
the handle on the head of some luckless
grayiacket who had got too far on the
wrong side of the dividing line, he jumped
from his horse and took a musket from
some wounded soldier and struck this way
and that until he stood at the works sur
rounded by his men.
1t was not soon over. There were two
or three hours of the hardest, hottest hand
to-hand work ever known on a battlefield,
and Cen Thomas, for whose concern and
glory it all was. said to Opdycke. Your
brigade saved the army at Franklin and
saved Nashville"
And now for the tragic finale of the bril-
liant soldiers career. Opdycke became
warm friend of the opulent banker George
