Special to the Tribune.
NEWPORT, April 9.-The second trial for
the election OF three Representatives in
Newport will take place next Tuesday.
Political excitement is running high and
charges and counter charges OF fraud and
intimidation are hurled from both sides.
Mayor Honey and Patrick j. Boyle,
President of the Common Council, are
charged with all the political crimes inn
aginable by the Republicans, while on the
other hand the Democrats say they have
good ground for, taking legal measures

hall and William p. Sheffield are directors.
Young Mr.. Sheffield is also under sur

President Boyle, who was Supervisor,
he was really there for other and baser
purposes, and it is said warrant will
soon be served on him charging him with
criminal acts of n specific nature in con-
nection with the election.
The Water Works issue is the great
bone of contention, and is used by the

The Sentiment of the Confederate Vet.
erans Now in Session.
NEW ORLEANS, April 9-The grand re.
union of Confederate veterans began here
yesterday. General w. j. Behan of the
Louisiana division, United Confederate
Veterans, and Mayor Shakespeare made
eloquent addresses of welcome General
j. Is. Gordon was next introduced, and
was greeted with tremendous applause.
Gen Gordon said: "Two thoughts impress
me as l stand here. First, abounding
wealth of kindness and affection extended
to us by & lorious people; and second, our
poverty of words to express our gratitude.
There are gathered from all parts of the
south, grizzled veterans of the south,
grizzled veterans of that once memorable
and forever immortal confederacy.
General Gordon spoke of Lee, of Hood
and others, and the audience applauded
loudly. He next spoke of the valor and
loyalty Of the Confederates. "The old
flag" he said, has been furled forever;
the cause of separate national existence
lives xow oaly as memory. Old things
hvve passed, and a new era has come, and
now we are all American citizens" deaf.
ening applause
General Gordon concluded his speech,
took the chair and called TO order the con-
vention of United Confederate Veterans" "
Committees were appointed and several
resolutions were then o ffered and referred

Two theories exist regarding the state
of business which find frequent expires
SION That trade has disappointed expec
tations to some extent is obvious, and
there are some who claim that reaction
has begun of unknown duration which ap
peared in Europe last year, and was only
in part deferred here because OF extra
ordinary crops These have to support
them unusually low prices, and ia some
departments shrinkage in sales. But
others argae that disappointment is due
to excessive expectation, and especially to
the failure To take into account the great
volume OK Indebtedness left from real es-
tate speculation at the west and south
and the influence here of bad crops and
financial depression abroad. These have
to support them much evidence that the
actual business transacted all branches
considered, is greater than ever before at
this season, in spite of all obstacles and
complaints
The reports from cities, on tho whole.
are favorable At Boston there is further
improvement and Il large retail trade; dry
goods jobbers are active and mills very
well employel; western reports are favor
able and southern better. The boot and
shoe trade is active with demand up to

THE WH|TEWASH BILL
Rather Weak Defense
is Put Forward.
$3.50 A DAY FOR TOOLS.
It May Cost More Than That to Get
An Aldermanic Whitewash.

Overseer of the Poor Peck ham has rushed
his position in having the buildings at
the Poor Farm whitewashed at an expense
Of $15s.25. The bill was the cause of quite
a discussion before the Board of Alder
men last Wednesday evening and was
finally tabled for an examination at a
later date.
1t is sought to shield the Overseer, be-
cause Alderman Winters, when he went
to the City Asylum, pronounced the job
a good one. 1t ought to be pretty good
when it cost six times the amount IL ever
cost before, as was stated by all those at
the Board meeting last Wednesday who
know anything about such matters.
Another theory set up as a sort of justi-
fication is that the price paid was reason
able as the work was done by masons and
not by whitewashers.
Now, suppose Highway Commissioner
Ladd should take 1t into his head to en-
ploy 200 masons or carpenters, through
some of the members of the City Council,
to do the work of his department, which
can be done as well, IL not better, by
laborers.
How long would that be tolerated9
And stin the principle is the same.
Alderman Winters does not accuse
Councilman Bryant of charging any more
for his men than any other contractor In
his line of business would charge, but he
does object to paying $3.50 day for q
mason and furnishing him stock and
tools to do work entirely out OF his line,
which can be done by a man who makes
a speciality OF that kind OF work for one
sixth the amount.
The Overseer must not think or imagine
that because the appropriation for the
poor department was made without any
consideration, the Republicans refusing
refusing to discuss any items in the .ap-
preparation bills, he can spend it as he
pleases.
He goes ahead without the knowledge
of any member Of the Board of Aldermen,
gets the work done, sends along his bill
and as much as says: The work Is done,
there is the bill, now what are you going
to do about IL?
He may find out before long, however,
that there is power above him, which
will have to be reckoned with il such
tactics are persisted in
