HONEY COUNTED VOTES.
Will the Legislature Submit to Such
a ScandaIous Cheat2
A PUBLIC MEETING IS CALLED,
A Vigorous Protest to he Made Against
Boss Tweed Methodist Queer Case
Reported From Woonsocket-whst
the Politicians Say.

Nothing but contempt can be expected
for the position taken by Samuel r.
Honey, of Newport, at present Democratic
Mayor of that city. but formerly a mem
Der Of a respectable political organization.
Mayor Honey. has, through the Demo
cratic Board Of Aldermen of Newport,
counted In every person running on the
Democratic Assembly ticket in that city,
and he and they nave done this work in
such a way as to give rise to grave suspi-
cions and public condemnation.
In the first election Mayor Honey and
his Democratic associates counted in a
portion of their assembly ticket. and to do
this were Obliged to heavily reduce the
vote of every Republican candidate and
add but n few to their wv party vote.
The discrepancies were so marked that
the Republicans requested, aud in writ
lug, hat the ballots be preserved.
Mayor Honey placed this polite COM
munication in his pocket, declining to
read it to the members Of the Board of
Aldermen, and after the ballots had been
counted in a way to suit the ends of the
Democrats, all the ballots were destroyed.
In the second election, on Tuesday, the
Democrats again failed OF an election.
save one. and the Republican candidates
held over under the provisions Of the
city's charter.
Messrs. Pinard and horton were the
hold-overs.
But when Mayor Honey's organ. the
Herald appeared Wednesday, morning
there was the brassy editorial warning
that Honey and another would be counted
In by the Board of Aldermen.
The board met yesterday, and true to
the promise made by Honey he and his
associate were counted in.
A promise was made that the ballots
should be kept this time, but as in the
former election the ballots were destroyed,
and as the Republicans believe, by direc-
ton of Mayor Honey.
Mayor Honey counted the ballots from
the Second ward, the one in which he re-
sides, which was, to say the least, an in
delicate proceeding on his part.
Under the laws Of this State these
counted in Democrats will receive their
certificates Of election from their own
Board of Aldermen, and these certificates
must be received at the bar OF the House
of Representatives and the name of the
alleged elected Democrats placed on the
roll Of the House, after which an ~organiza-
ton ear be perfected.
Subsequently each and every seat will
he contested. Each house is the sole
judge of the qualifications of its members,
md either At the May session, or at the
January session, the Honey crowd will be
unseated. II there is time to do so, this
just work will be done at the Newport
session.
The following dispatch from our New
port correspondent gives a graphic account
of the latest Honey deal and the manner
with which the people Of that city re-
ceiye il.

An Indignation Meeting for Tonight.

NEWPORT, r. l., April 14-According to
law, the Board of Aldermen of this city
are the supreme power as regards count
ing votes and making an official declara-
ton of said count, but it may
safely be said that since the land
ing of the Puritans on Plymouth
rock never has a case arisen that
would rank analogous to the condition of
affairs prevalent in the city of Newport
to-day. 1t would indeed be hard to find
throughout these United States n single
instance where a Board of Aldermen nave
been nomin ited almost rs a body 20 fill
the dual Office of Alderman and Repre-
sentative In the State Legislature. Yet,
so it is to-day inthis- ancient borough,
and these very men count themselves in
for Office.
with such a simple ticket as that on Tues
day, il would seem impossible that the
wardens in every ward could make mis-
takes in favor Of the Republican candi-
dates and against those of the opposite
party.
Certainly, there have been trivial errors
Of such a kind before on Ucry complicated
tickets, but never to such an extent as the
present board have been able to discover.
The officially declared result is as follows:
