Not Victory for Republicans.
Baltimore Sun

The Republicans keep their own in
Rhode Island. having elected their
candidate ior Governor by plurality
of 2,o47 and majority of 1856. They
also, as we expected, have a majority
in both branches of the Legislature, so
that the reelection of Senator Aldrich
is secured Considering the, small
majority and the great exertions re-
quircd to obtain it. the result is not
much of "a victory for the Republicans.
Its moral effect cannot be very consider
able. On the contrary persons who study
the figures of recent elections in
Rhode Island will suspect that We'd
nesday's victory was little better than
defeat. In 1884 the Republican
plurality in total vote of 25,528 was
6,344. In 1888, in a total vote ot
1929, the Republican plurality was
3,l73. Now the aggregate of Repub
lican and Democratic votes is 52,065
ard the plurality has shrunken tc

that more effort was put forth local.,

For these reasons the Democrats ma
be encouraged by the smallness of tn
Republican plurality this month to tt
: to wipe it out in November. The
successes in the State hitherto hav

Democratic plurality was 1884;
O 1889 it was 4,4l9: in 1880 it W;

TALKING OF THE ETERMINAL.
The Latest Reports in Regard to the
Plan of REORGANIZATION.
BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle

New YORK, April S-Brokers
representing Insiders in Richmond
Terminal were buyers of the stock and
bonds of that company to-day. The
advance was based on the more favor
able reports from the committee in re-
gard to the receipt Of securities and to
the expectation on Change that the
plan would be declared operative on
Thursday next. The prospects now
are that a majority of the Terminals
securities will be deposited before the
period allowed expires.
The Euening Post says: "There has
been a suddenly developed movement
on the part of the Richmond Terminal
security holders to deposit their securi
ties with the Central trust company
under the provisions Of the organiza-
tion plan. One large holder not iden-
tilted with either faction in the man
agement yesterday deposited several
millions, which included large blocks
of bonds and East Tennessee securities
as well as Terminal preferred
A number of banking interests
corrected indirectly with the
management also turned in large
blocks of securities and members O
the committee to-day said that they
were fully satisfied now with the pros
poets. The outlook has improved 81
much, in fact, that they believe th'
plan will be declared operative ant
that the syndicate will then be callet
on to provide the $14,000,0O0 sub
scribed by its members.
"'rhe sudden change in the senti
ment Of the holders is ascribed who'll,
to the fact that the controlling inter
, ests yesterday made a market for tn
: re-org ganization receipts. A larg
; number of security holders had takel
steps to call general meeting of bon
and stock holders of the company 70
S the purpose of taking some effectiv
r steps in the matter, but when the

$ for the receipts, they abandoned tn
e project of meeting and deposited thei
q securities.
n "lt is stated by persons prominen
n in the effort to re organize the compan
that the First national bank party is
blame for the slow progress made, an
that plan is being prepared by
l., former officer of the Danville compan,
u which the First national bank party il

drawal of the present plan"

Holt for Governor.
Editorial from KernerSville News.

In the approaching convention of
the Democratic party to be held in
Raleigh on the 18th of May, there is
great danger of making a mistake or
of failing to do the right thing at the
right time. If wise, conservative
counsel prevails, we will avert the i'm
pending disaster to the Democratic
party, and will not only renew its
lease of power in North Carolina but
strengthen its hold upon the affections
and the confidence of the people Of
this staid old Commonwealth. Our
leaders should be men of wisdom, OF
state smanship, of political sagacity
and in whom the people have abiding
faith and confidence.
For the office of Governor we un
hesitatingly name his ExcellencJ
Thomas NJ. Holt, tie present Execu
tive of North Carolina.

A Republican Opinion of Gov Holt.

Greensboro North State.
Some of the Third party people are
very bitter against Gov. Holt. Is it
because he is an honest man, a farmer
and probably employs more laborers
than any one in the State! Or be
cause he has given the State clean,
conservative administration. and had
no back door to the executive office !:
The convention would hardly be in
fuenced by advice from Republicans,
but if the next Governor Of the State
is to b. Democrat, the leaders of the
party might 90 farther and do worse.

A commission of niuo railroad sx- perts, representing for the most part important Western systems, hayo been investigating the subject of electric traction in practical way, and, after visiting the works of tho great electri- cal companies, have been so impressed with the ability of the electrical en- gineor to cope with railway problems that year or two, possibly a few months, will gee tho initiation of a change that may be almost infinitely fsr-rcach- ing. Only about two years ago the subject of electric motors for ordinary railway work wss first seriously dis cussed. The suggestions, however, were received incrsdulously.
