over the state we're not all In owing to the
tedious counting necessary under the Aus
tralian system. The returns at hand are
sufficient, however, to indicate that there is
no election for state officers, with a
probability of republican plurality. The
state law requires majority vote to elect,
and there are a sufficient number of repub-
Icans returned up to this hour to insure
the election of Senator Aldrich to the
United State Senate and the choice OF the
republican candidates for state officers

probability OF having elected others.

Wardwell q, ora Total vote 46S46. This
is the largest vote ever cast In Rhode
Island.

The weather was fine. Both sides made

with considerable excitemens. Individual

the indications point to the election of the

ward is yet TO be heard from, which proba-
bly, will not change the result. The vote

have been centers Of excitement all day -.
This eliminated in the Fifth ward, where
the republicans claim that the demo-
cratic supervisor, who is also presi-
dent Of the common council violated
the ballot law by giving unsolicited assist
alce to voter. They collected evidence
and placed it in the hands OF ex>City
Solicitor Peckham. who has promised to
prosecute if il is sutficien5, and promi-
uent republican lawyer is Of the opinion
that it is. The republicans propose to
Supervisor Boyle, and perhaps the warden
Of tie ward as well, and also
Unnecessary appeal TO the supreme court
and contest the seats Of the members Of the
legislature elected here.
There was serious row over the election
at atJamestowu, eliminating in a personal
assault by the republican representative, j.
b. Banders. upon DR.. Howland, demo-
crat, which necessitated the attendance Of a
physician and may result seriously.
