THE WARWICK SITUATION.

The situation in Warwick is peculiar
Our Democratic friends are divided.
The Republicans are harmonious and,
on the whole, more active and aggres-
sive than anywhere else in the State.
The division in the Democratic party
has caused bitter hatred and some per-
sonal encounters between the "regu-
lars and the reform" or younger ele-
ment. The hot resentment of the latter
seems to have been especially reused by
Hugh j. CAROLS Congressional aspira-
tions, but we doubt whether it will be
allayed by Mr.. Pages reported deter
nination to rum Fhe fight has gone
too far. 1t has made Mr.. Carrolrs
nomination inexpedient. 1t has made
the election of any Democrat impossible.
The regulars" are incensed against
Mr.. Quinn, the leader of the "reform
element in Warwick. because of his
alleged connection with the Nationalist
party last spring. This may be human
and natural, but il is very unjust. If
the Democrats encourage Populists and
Prohibitionists in order to defeat ma
jority elections-and it is notorious that
they have done this-they should not
complain when the chickens come home
to roost. Mr.. Quinn has always done
the work OF the Democratic party di-
rectly or indirectly, and we do not see
why he is not to-day better Democrat
than Mr.. Carroll, whose lukewarmness
i'm the cause of the fat claimant is one
potent cause of Democratic dissatisfac-
ton in this State.
Our friends, the enemy, attach too
much importance, however, to mere
personal discord. The fact is that this
is great industrial State, and, with
free trade in the Democratic platform,
it doesn't make much difference whether
the Democrats fight or go fishing cleo
ton day. They are beaten, and they
know it.

OUR NEW HOME.

The NEWS is now snugly ensconced in
its new home on South Water street,
Nos "a and 25. Here we have one en-
tire floor, with excellent light, for the
printers, another for the press room and
mailing department. half of another for
the, editorial rooms, the cellar for
storage, and thus devoting practically
the entire building to the rapidly
growing business of the NEWS.
To remove the entire plant of the
paper within AZ hours and take down
and set up press with all its stereo-
tipping apparatus was feat never be-
fore, we believe, attempted in this coun-
try. 1t was accomplished in magnifi-
cent shape, and the press is now run
ming smoothly. The edition was greatly
delayed last evening, and failed to reach
many of its readers. We trust that
our readers will appreciate the circum-
stances which led to their disappoint-
ment. 1t will not be repeated.

VALE. CARROLL, HAIL. PAGE,

The passing of Mayor Hugh j. Car
roll out of the race for the Democratic
nomination TO Congress from the Sec
ond district has its pathetic features, as
the entry Of Charles III. Page upon the
race has its ridiculous features.
Carroll withdrew because the party
managers demanded it of him. But he
did not, after all, really mean TO with
draw. He fought for position as long
as he could, and then he made the con.
dtion of his withdrawal of such ma
ture that he expected it would not be
complied with. lie felt sure that Mr..
Page could not be again drawn into
the struggle, so he told the managers
that he would give way if Page wished
TO run. That gentleman very promptly
agreed TO become once more a martyr
to his party, and Carroll was forced to
declare himself formally out Of the race.
This is not exactly as Carroll tells it,
but it is just about as near the fact as
the truth can get.
So the Second district Democrats have
purchased peace and harmony by fur
ther goading on the man who had
already put it out of their power to make
decent showing at the polls, and have
taken up the Congressman for re-elec-
tion whose only warrant upon the suf-
frages of the people is his eminent SER
vices in procuring for RHODE Island
liberal appropriations in the river and
harbor bill.
The only daily organ that the Democ
racy can claim in this city, or that
claims the Democracy, has repeat tedly
denounced the river and har Dor bill. 1t
has also on sundry occasions perfuncto-
rily indorsed Mr.. Page.
OF course, Mr. Pages record in Con-
gress will not operate as bar against
any Democratic support. 1t is too near
election to inquire into the record of a
candidate who so nobly sacrifices his
personal interests and so completely
fills the gap in the line of candidates the
objections to Carroll created.
We feel like congratulating the Dem
ocrats of the Second district for their
riddance of Carroll, and condoling with
them for being obliged to accept
90 'tother fair charmer," Page.

THE BoRDEN CASE "REvELATIoNs."

A Boston newspaper printed a great
mass of alleged revelations" respect
ing the Borden murder case yesterday,
many of the alleged facts in which were
at once proved to be wholly without
foundation.
The allegations relative to what would
be proved ut the trial of Miss Borden
were of a most startling and sensational
character. Some of them were mani
festly the product of Imagination and
desire to make telling story. Some of
them were below contempt, as they al
legged facts about Miss Borden that
every decent person would hesitate to
mention if they were known to be true.
The whole story seemed improbable
upon its face, and was instantly dis
credited in this city, where its source
was known.
This morning the same Boston paper
attempts TO justify its publication of
what has been speedily proved to be a
tissue of ridiculous falsehoods by giving
a detailed account of how it come into
possession of the matter. IL was pur-
chased of private detective Of this
city, who alleges-or the Boston paper
says he alleges--that he was intrusted
with the transcription of the affidavits
by the city marshal of Fall River espe-
cially so they would not become pub
lie. The plain inference is that the
detective in question, after being taken
into the confidence of Marshal Hilliard,
proceeded TO sell what he gave the Bos-
ton paper to understand were copies Of
the afiidayits for the sum of $500.
1t is open for everybody to place their
own construction upon the transactions
of this detective and the newspaper
representatives. There is not very
much chance to misjudge them, accept
ing their own version of what occurred.
II is fair 10 state that the PROVIDENCE
detective has several times disavowed
the connection with this matter that
the newspaper alleges against him.
The question Of the credibility Of the
story in general is scarcely worth con-

Many amusing incidents occurred in con-
nection with the voting under the new sys-
TEN. In numerous instances voters took a
look at the unusual scene in the hall and
went away without venturing a trial of the
new system. In several cases it was found
entirely impossible to persuade some of the
older men to come to the polls. They OBJ
jected to submitting to the requirements
and going into lone of those horse stalls'
to mark the ballots.
One conservative Yankee steadily re-
fused to vote during the forenoon, but in
the afternoon admitted that he had finally
performed that duty. "How did that hap
pen?" a friend asked. "Oh, went home
to dinner, and then l had to vote" was
the answer. 1t is safe to write that mans
wife down as both progressive and de-
termined woman.
An Irshman boasted to friend that he
had voted, and ''voted the straight Demo-
cratic, be gorra." "And how did you do
it, Pat?'' he was asked. "Oh, l crossed off
every Republican name," he answered,
with the proud consciousness of man
who had done his full duty.

The SDeRkerahin.

The election of Hon. j. L. Martin as
representative from Brattleboro naturally
suggests his especial qualifications for the
office of speaker of the house this year.
Mr.. Martin has already served three terms
in the speakers chair, during the years
1873 to 1882, while the member from Lon
donderry. No man has ever performed
the duties of the chair with greater ability
or has acquired a wider popularity among
his fellow members while in that office.
Mr.. Martin has since had occasion to still
further familiarize himself with the affairs
and the special needs of Vermont while
filling the Office of tax commissioner, when
circumstances required him to make close
study of the general subject of taxation.
There is no doubt that he will be warmly
supported should his candidacy for the
speakership come before the house this
year. While his home constituency would
be glad to see him honored with the office,
they also realize that he could perform un-
usual service if remaining on the floor.
Mr.. Martin himself expresses no preference
as yet, although he has already received
numerous offers of support from members
elect. He will at least make no personal
canvass for the place, and the action of his
friends will therefore be contingent, with
out doubt, on the sentiment which develops
as the time for the session approaches,

The election of w. w. Stickney of Lud-
low, for the past five terms clerk of the
house of representatives, as the represent
ative from Ludlow, will leave the clerk
ship to be filed by new man at the ses-
sion of this year. How many candidates
for the place there will be we are not in
formed. 1t is safe to say, however, that
there is no man in the state more familiar
with the duties of the office, or better quail
flied to perform them, than J. II. Merri-
field of Newfane. Mr.. Merriield's expe-
rience in the legislature has been an un-
usually long one He was engrossing clerk
during the sessions of 1874 and '76. He
represented Newfane in the legislature of
1878 and 80, was second assistant clerk in
80, SO and 'SS, and was first assistant in
1890. Mr.. Merrifeld is careful and exact
in all his work, he has enjoyed the full
confidence of every legislature with which
he has been connected, and the house of
1892 would be sure of competent, court
eous and painstaking man in this import
ant position should it elect Mr.. Merrifield
to the clerkship. 1t is understood that he
will be candidate for the place.
