NEWPORT, X. l., April l3.-Rah! Rahl !
Rah.!! The fight is over and the great
civil service reformer CD is elected to stay
at home.
Not a hundred days ago the Hon. Sam
uel II. Honey was indicted into the Office
of mayor, with a full board of Democratic
Aldermen and n majority in the Common
Council, in joint convention fifteen to
seven, elected by the people with a clean
majority OF $50 votes, and since then
something like $50 Democratic voters nave
been placed on the register, SO that before
the State election. IL seemed n veritable
forlorn hope for the Republicans to even
attempt to put up a ticket, while as to The
Democrats not making a clean sweep!
Why! Such a thought ten days z
would ave been laughed to scorn AS pre-
p~osterous.
But how are the mighty TALENT The
hero OF cheap water, Us n cry TO gall the
people, CHrrIUd the rOwu III MS vest
pocket. There was 70 be no mistake.
They had IA real live, f~ull-fedged Demo-
cratic morning daily which was to wipe
out the Observer n Neus. 1t is not a
question of making money, said the
stockholders. Money Is not an object at
all. Go TO Providence, was the mandate.
Hire the best in the land. This is to be a
cosmopolitan sheet. Oh! how Doodle did
flow and the stream has since continued.
They were going to do wonders n
startle the local knights Of the quill with
miracles. A couple of rallies were held.
and reporters of the World were whirled
into the arena here. All the local re-
porters trembled in their boots and for
their position. The demonstrations were
held, when 10, and behold! both the local
sheets had fallen and certainly more able
49,. L. - A. $780,
racy, and SO Oh to the end of the chapter.
So much for the Herald. BY the way.
THEY have already begun to reduce their
staff among the cases.
The story of a week ago has already
been told and commented upon through
out these United States. Since that time
Mayor Honey, through his mouth-piece,
has implored the citizens to cast aside ali
questions of State or national issue inthe
bye-election. 1t must be "A question solely
OF Honey or principle.
With supreme gall, the Herald asked
the question, Can the people do without
given e%mphaticaiiy yesterday by leaving
him ut home.
With sublime nerve, it also asserted
that The, and he alone, was the only n
individual that could meet and check the
methods OF the vile mud-slinging republic
cans" The ballots yesterday made an
s"ci ~ iouu ohao ai tho PeoPio hedru
something drop.
Ever since the guns of victory were
fired in the sister capital a week ago,
their echo has been reverbrating around
the shores Of the City-by-the-Sea. It's
~rumbling caused the Democrats TO lift up
their eyes where they saw the hand
writing on the wall. 1t drove his honor
into a paroxysm Of fright. Why! When
he heard yesterday, that one of his trust
ed henchmen, u man who has toiled for
years in the Democratic ranks, had aetu-
ally dared to vote the Republican ticket,
he (Mr. Honey, laying aside the dignity
OF his position as chief magistrate OF one
of the Oldest cities in the Union, boldly
entered "a barroom in the Fifth ward and
peremptorily ordered his former lieuten-
ant In tones of wrath to ''come out, you, /
want you" He was completely taken
aback when the reply came telling his
honor to 20 to Hades with other expires
sions, more forcible than polite.
Never III its history has this ancient city
had so outrageous and disgraceful "a pro-
ceeding happen. Mayor Honey must be
office blind and mad. He must forget en-
tirely that this is the end of the 10Th CEN
tury. The above is only a sample of many
such disgusting practices that have caused
many OF his former warm and ardent
supporters to utter aloud, save me from
my friend"
Yesterdays polling was n grand victory
for the Republican party. It's result
thoroughly and officially discredits Mayor
Honey and his policy. II is the verdict OF
avail. The $50 majority is wiped out, aud
only Hazard was elected, two Republicans
holding over. The King Bee with all his
honey is deprived Of his sting and the peo-
pie arc happy.
Following is the count by the wardens:
