GOVERNOR RUSSELL.

The election of William L. Russell as
Governor of Massachusetts, by owe,
1900 plurality, when Harrison carried
the State by majority of 27,O0O. is one
of the wonders of the election, and no,
only Of this election but of recent polit.
ical history.
We do not recall that Democratic
governor has ever been elected in q
presidential year by strongly Repub-
lican State, especially with such a tre-
mendous lead over his ticket as Mr..
Russell had.
The phenomenon cannot be accounted
for ON political grounds, for if il was
politics that gave Mr.. Russell his great
vote the effect would extend TO the vote
for president, and the state would he

was political issue to be decided at the
ballot box.
There are two chief causes for Mr.
Russell's success His own wonderful
personal popularity, which had been
sedulously and most skillfully cultivated
for several years before he became n
candidate for the governorship. and the
shortsighted policy of the Republican
party in selecting its gubernatorial
candidates since the retirement of Oil.

CHRISTIANS.

Yesterday the News chronicled what
1t cannot but term a case of amazing
discourtesy on the part of the managers
of the great Christian Endeavor Con
vention in New York, If the facts are as
reported.
IL is stated that in the roll-call of the
denominations the name of the Seventh
Day Baptist Church was omitted,
though delegates from that church were
present. The reason for this astonish-
ing action, our well-informed Ashaway
correspondent states, was that the Sew
enth Day delegates very properly and
sensibly refrained from signing the pc
tition against opening the Worlds Fair
on Sunday, and, further, that "inas-
much as the Seventh Day Baptist de-
nomination is at great variance with
all other denominations on the Sabbath
question, official recognition in the con-
ventions and on the board of trustees
could not be made"
This is dogma run mad. So long as
the Seventh Day people are fervent in
the faith and forward in the good works
of the Christian religion, such super
cilious boycott by persons who cannot
possibly claim to surpass them in either
respect is rather calculated to make the
judicious grieve than to commend the
common sense Of the board Of trustees
or managers.

WHO VOTED THE STATE LoASg

Cur sometimes not at all genial friend
Col. Sanborn, of that able and conserva
tive Republican weekly, the Newport
hercury, seems to find il impossible to
refer TO the matter Of State House
without misrepresentation. Ever since
the commissioners report he has per.
sisted in calling il "three- -millior = lol-
iarscheme, andnowthat the people have
demanded IL b. a vote so overwhelm-
ing the Colonel declares that the "great
horde OF registered votes in PROVIDENCE
and Pawtucket did il; that they were
"too much for the taxpayers in the rest
of the State"
We need not look very deeply into
this matter. We can hardly imagine u
vote that speaks more plainly for itself,
ana needs no endorsement or explana-
| ton TO tell what it means. than does
this vote on the state loan. The major
ity given it is simply unassailable. But
let us cite suggestive fact or two.
In the first place, so far as Newport g
vote indicated anything, as the NEWS
pointed out yesterday, our sister capital
was opposed to the two constitutional
amendments practically as much as she
was to the state house.
Sixteen cities and towns voted to ap-
prove and 20 voted 10 reject. Two of
these accepting towns were in Newport
county. Evidently Col. Sanborn's state
ment that nearly every country town
in the State" voted TO reject is not
true.
Newport's majority to reject was
l,72S. Leaving out the vote of PRovI-
DENcE, Pawtucket and Woonsocket, the
majority given in the country towns"
alone, including Democratic New Shore
ham, Tiverton. Burrillville and North
Smithheld, and Republican Bristol,
Cranston, Johnston, North Providence,
Warwick, Coventry, Lincoln and Cum
berland, was more than sufficient to
overcome Newport's majority. The
NEWS would not claim that if PRovI- |
DENCE's three sister municipalities had |
not been allowed to vote the proposition
would have been carried, but it is a
fact that if Newport had given up her
privilege Of voting along with the other
cities, the country towns by themselves
meala have given majority to LAP
prove"
As to the charge that the registered
vote carried the loan through, the
figures fairly disprove that. Leaving
out Newport, every ward in every city
gave majority to approves" and
a glance at the figures indicates that
these majorities were biggest where
the tax paying vote is strongest. In
PROVIDENCE the Second, Fourth, Seven
ii and Eighth wards, rich and substan-
ial and chock full of big taxpayers,
-oted heavier pecentage on the pro-
'osition and gave larger actual majori-
les to approve" than did the Third and
'enth, the strongholds Of the much
laligned registry vote. =
Better get that cataract removed from
our mental vision, Colonel.
