the city Of Newport. Some of us could
not, at the time, understand why it was
that he should receive 1881 majority,
while the Republican candidate for
Governor had only 1876. But that license
solves the mystery" The Tribune is
probably trying to say that license has
been granted to Mr.. Melville Bull, but
as it has not yet taken the well-meant
advice of the News and bought gram
mar, il scores blunder as usual. AS to
the license, it would be reflection on the
news gathering enterprise of the Tribune
not to assume that it is aware of the
pending change In the management of
the Perry House, which belongs to the
Bull family, and of the fact that the
license was taken out in Senator Bulls
name, during the progress of the nego-
tiations, to be transferred to the new
management when it assumes control.
The Tribune of course knows this, and it
is to be congratulated on its honorable"
dealings with its 'steen thousand readers
and its ''fair" fighting. II Is an inter
esting psychologist problem why parti-
san Prohibition sheets so often allow
themselves to resort to dubious methods.

THE NORFOLK DINNER.

The dinner Of the Norfolk Club in
Boston last evening was AN occasion of
memorable Importance, from the signifi-
cant character Of the utterances there
made by Republicans to Republicans.
The Hon. w. w. Crapo and the
Hon. j. @. A. Bracket spoke for
the Minneapolis delegation, the former
referring in hopeful terms to Re-
publican union and Democratic dis
union, the latter uttering splendid
eulogy of President Harrison's character
and services. Col. Clark, the president
of the Home Market Club, made a sig
nificent speech not reported in the morn
ing papers, wherein he stated that he
had positive assurances that Blaine
would not accept nomination.
But to Rhode Islanders the chief in
terest centred in the presence Of a large
delegation from this State and in the
enthusiastic welcome accorded to Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Tiepke, who spoke for
the State. The Republican victory in
Rhode Island has put heart of hope into
Republicans from Machias to Los An
geles, and the little State has the right
of the line in Presidential year.

was his limit. On the thirty-fourth bal
lot both he and Sherman lost to Garfield,
the Blaine men holding firm. The
thirty-ffth ballot broke the Blaine col
umn. From 27s it fell to 25f and with
gains from Window and Washburn
Garfield had 80. The stampede had
come, and the final vote left only 3
delegates to Sherman and AZ to Blaine,
while 306 refused to forsake Grant and
800 nominated Garfield. 1t was the
most memorable convention fight the
country has ever seen.
In 1884 at Chicago Blaine was nomi-
mated on the fifth ballot by 54l votes.
The number of delegates was $40 !;
necessary to choice All. Arthur was
his chief competitor, and Edmunds,
Logan, John Sherman, Hawley and
Lincoln were also voted for.
In 1888 Harrison was nominated at
Chicago on the eighth ballot. He went
into the convention with S5 votes, which
were increased to 544. Sherman, Ores
ham, Depew, Alger and Allison were
candidates Blaine was not, though he
received 30 votes on the first ballot and
So on the third. ingalls, cut some small
figure in this contest, as did Phelps and
Rush. Mckinley received votes on
every ballot, not less than and not
more than 10. There were s31 delegates,
requiring 416 to nominate, and Harrison
gained on every ballot until he had
them.
It is a record of thirty-six years of
fair, honorable and spirited contests,
and in very few weeks we shall have
another to add to them. AS in the past,
whoever shall prove the choice of the
convention will command the warm and
loyal support of every man who opposed
him; such is the honest Republican
fashion.

Every voter in this city should go to
bed tonight strong in the resolution to
finish the election tomorrow, and should
rise in the morning in mood to let no
call Of pleasure, no business engagement
and no bodily indisposition, unless of a
serious nature, interfere with his doing
his full share towards the accomplish
ment of that end.
We have had four spells Of voting in
this city this spring. We are to have a
fifth. The public money is being wasted
to crafty the whims of third and fourth
party political dabblers. 1t is time,
more than time, that Republicans shook
off their indifference and took thought
for the interests of the city. The Demo-
cratic party is hoping to elect the full
seven Representatives still to be voted
for, by firing out the electorate and then
calling in the ballots they have lent
temporarily to the Prohibitionists and
Peoples party. Republicans should I'M
derstand this and should refuse to be
made the victims of such maneuvring.
And above party are public considera-
tions. Rhode Island has taken the posi-
ton of honor in the nation. II is not
an empty form of words to say that she
is "at the right of the line" State
pride should forbid her capital city
from allowing herself to become a laugh
ing stock as an anti-climax to this
springs noble effort. 1t is frittering
away well-earned honor.
Let every man vote. II is a part of
his public duty. Let him vote the Re-
publican ticket; or at least let him join
with one of the two great political par
ties which are the main factors in the
struggle. II is worse than foolish, it is
a sin against the city to draw out the
agony by voting in the air.

FOUR QUESTIONS.

A Rhode Island manufacturer whose
name is household word in the State,
and who has held high official station,
permits the NEWS to make use of the
following interesting letter from the
American agent of world-famous
firm of French manufacturers, on the
condition that the name be not used, as
the communication was not designed
for the public eye:
NEW York, May 8. 1892
DEAR SIR--A large manufacturer of dress
goods, friend of ours, has the intention should
the next election be Republican,; to come over
and start a factory In the United States.
am going to Europe next week and he ex-
poets me to give him some information. So
beg OF you to give me few points.
1st AS to the State you would consider best
to establish factory, as he would do his own
spinning and dyeing.
aad. w nat difference there is TN the cost Of
water or steam power.
3D.. As to his getting help easy.
4th. The wage price weavers make per yard
taking In consideration the number Of picks.
to enlighten me ON the subject with which you
are SO familiar would greatly oblige
Ileave for Europe May 18th.
To reply to these questions fully
would take volume. Briefly they
might be answered as follows: l.
Rhode Island as good as any. 2-Water
power cheaper, and available mill sites
not yet exhausted. 3-No difficulty
usually. 4-No larger than is consist
ent with economical production, and no
smaller than is necessary for the sup
port of an American citizen and his
family.
But the gist Of the whole communica-
tion lies in the clause, "should the next
election be Republican In the other
case no manufacturer, native or foreign,
would dream of building factory here.

An Able Republican Debater.

Hon. John Dalzell is a very good do
batter. He is an orator, and like Ingalls,
strikes his opponents heavily. His dis
cussion of the free wool bill was one of
the most forcible in support Of the Nc
Kinley tariff law that has been heard in
the house, and that Pennsylvania, the
greatest protection state, has in him a
very able representative is beyond ques-
ton. 1t sometimes seems that little re-
mains to be said that is new on tho tariff
issue, and it is noticeable that Mr.. Dali
zell found good deal to say in contend
ing against the removal of the protective
tariff that had never been publicly
spoken before. The Democratic house
is packed with alarmists who do nothing
of more consequence, of the things they
were sent there to do, than the drawing
OF their salaries.-Dubois Pa.) Courier.

In the privacy of his home and in con-
temptation of the Harrisburg Democrat

"If Arthur p. German, the great sena-
tor from Maryland, should be chosen to
lead the fight there would be no mis-
take. He combines all the essential ele-
ments Of broad and substantial states
manship with matchless ability as a
political master" Schoolmaster Har-
rity, to whom the prepared speech was
dutifully submitted for revision and ap-
proval, did not desire any division of
honors between Cleveland and any pos
sible rival, so the reference to German
never materialized in speech.-Philadel-

Under the Mckinley bill Americans
imported sec, 900, 900 less of woolen goods
last year, and used $5,000,OO0 worth
more than they did the year before.
Democrats will scarcely want to use
this fact in campaign document. The
trouble with the modern tariff destroy
ers is that the Mckinley bill has been
already long enough in force to prove
its value to the people.-Exchange.

THE MINNEAPOLIS CONVENTION

The gathering at Minneapolis next
month, which is to name the next
President Of the country, will be the
tenth national convention called by the
Republican party since its organization.
The nine conventions whose work has
become part of history have named
seven winners, and one man has figured
in three of them whom his party would
have been more than glad to support in
fourth. and now again are wishing for
the privilege of supporting on fifth oc-
casion.
Fremont was nominated on the first
ballot in 1856 at Philadelphia. He re-
ceived $50 votes against 1876 for John
Mclean.
Lincoln was nominated on the third
ballot at Chicago in 1850. He received
1914 votes against 1sO for Seward, 24t
for Chase, 90 for Bates and for Nc
Lean. In 1854 Lincoln was renominated
at Baltimore without opposition except
from Missouri, which was solid for
Grant.
Grant received unanimous nomina-
tion at Chicago in 1868, every one Of the
$50 votes in the convention being cast
for him. In 1872 at Philadelphia he was
unanimously renominated, no other
name being before the convention.
Hayes was nominated at Cincinnati in
1875 on the seventh ballot. He polled
3S4 votes, against 351 for Blaine and 81
for Bristow. On the first ballot Blaine had
2s5 votes and Hayes 81. Morton, Conk-
ling, Bristow and Hartranft were the
other men in the contest. Wheeler,
Washburn and Jewell had scattering
votes.
GIn 1880 there were 768 delegates in
the Chicago convention necessary to a
choice, 3si. Garfield was nominated on
the thirty-sixth ballot, receiving 800
votes after tussle of Titans. Grant
went into the convention with 3Oi votes.
He held his strength to the end, but he
was absolutely unable to gain. The
highest vote cast for him was 3l3 on
the thirty-ffth ballot, the lowest was
302 on the twenty-fifth. On
the last ballot he had 306
The day was carried against him by the
sudden turning over of the Blaine, Sher-
man, Edmunds, Window and Washburn
strength to Garfield. Consider those
names and say if it was not battle of
giants. Blaine polled 2s4 votes on the
first ballot. Sherman 93, Edmunds "a.
Window 10 and Washburn 30. All
these columns were held practically solid
until the twenty-ninth ballot, when
Window lost 3 and Edmunds 10 votes
to Sherman. Sherman's high water
mark was the next 0hirtieth) ballot,
when he gained again from Window and
Edmunds, four votes in all, making a
total of l20. Blaine had 279 votes on this
ballots, Edmunds II, Window 4, Wash
burn 33 and Garfield 2. Garfields name
appeared first on the fourth ballot when
one vote was cast for him. On the sixth
ballot he climbed TO 2, dropped out again
on the fourteenth and remained ont
until the nineteenth, when he came in
again with vote, increasing TO on the
twenty-third ballot and remaining sta
tionary until The -thirty-first, when f1r
fell TO 1, TO jump to II ON the thirty

his gains. Ballot by ballot he fell
