To interfere with her in the Kitchen: she

remarks the man burst out: 'If we

directions how to reach the train for

RHODE ISLAND campaigns--barely lived

never knew the atmosphere so permeated
with confidence of the result rs IL is now
charged with assurance of Republican
success. IL is not only the politicians
who profess To feel confident-it is the
people generally of all shades of political
belief. IL Is this assurance that the Re
publicans will carry the State by big
popular majority that robs the campaign
OF piquancy aud dash and go in this State.

would be very much like getting up n
