Night-The Divided Democrats OF War
wick--Political Points.

Only one week remains before the
Presidential election and IL is still rs
quiet as if there was not great national
issue before the people, but, notwith-
standing all this, there is depth OF in
terest which does not break ont into
shouting aud torchlight parades.
The Republicans of RHODE ISLAND are
stronger this year than Inst and ST. onger
than four years ago ard hre conhdent mat
they will not only elect their Presidential
electors, but both OF tDelr CONGRESSIONAL
candidates.
ON the other hand, the Democrats are
not very confident about the election of
their Presidential electors and feel rather
weak in regard TO the reelection OF Con-
gresham Page. At least, that Is the
sentiment expressed by the less rabid aud
more level headed and voiced in mug
wump organ.
That same Mugwump organ tries to
cry down the chances of Lieut.. Gov. Bull,
hut il remains fact that he is the
strongest candidate in the state to-day.
The indications are that the Republicans
will elect their whole ticket, and al in
the near future get the Mayors OF Paw
tucket w oonsocket and Providence
Pawtucket is almost sure for the Re-
publicans and with strong candidate in
This city there is no doubt but Mayor
term. Many Democrats concede Paw
tucket and say that PROVIDENCE is likely
TO go Republican.
The city election is SO far away that
very little il said of il. Arthur III. Wat
son is talked of for mayor and IL Is not
unlikely that the candidates OF last year
for overseer of the poor and harbor mas
ter wi be renominated. although IL is by
no means certain. Nothing appears To
he certain at present in regard TO the city
election except that the Democrats viii
renominate Mayor Potter.
