THE BELFAST JOURNAL DIsPosEs OF ITS

We have endesvored, with more or less

successors, and nothing is so conducive to
longevity as claim against the govern

or ten line advertisement, comes to us
from Washington in bulky official en-

The Rhode Island State election which
occurs next week will be of national in
terest and Importance for two reasons.
In the first place the result this spring
will be somewhat significant of the re
suit in the Presidential election in the
fall, though of course not conclusive. In
the second place the legislature to be
chosen will elect successor to Senator
Aldrich. Rhode Island has come to be
a debatable state, and the last two cleo
tons have been very close. The Repub-
licans believe they will carry the state
ticket and majority of the legislature,
though the Democrats are making her
culean efforts to succeed, have raised a
big campaign fund and thrown into the
state their most prominent national
leaders and orators.
