until o o'clock this morning, at which
hour they would consider a second re-
port from. the special Icompittse., which
consists of Senator's Bartlett and Com
stock and Representative Honey.
The Republicans agreed to renominate
Speaker Capron, and clerks Lee and
Mowry of the House and Warner of the
Senate. They decided TO combat the
Democratic proposition 70 count by detail
the vote on the general officers. They
also voted to unseat the Newport Demo
Gratis and to insist that both branches
during this session be controlled by strict
parliamentary usages, which means that
the cloture Is to be applied whenever the
Democrats attempt to Kill time and stave
off action on bill BY resulting TO dilatory
motions and windy speeches.
The Republicans have abundance of
evidence upon which to unseaU the New
port members. In the Fifth Ward In
this city, on election day, they will prove
that the Democratic supervisor marked
eleven ballots by taking them from the
hands OF the voters, carrying them to
stall, marking them in private, folding
them aud causing them to be voted
without even being inspected by
those who deposited them. In
the Fourth Ward the Democratic
supervisor, when directed to assist q Re
publican elector. marked the ballot Tor
him, but rolded IL and would have had
him vote 1t, had not the Republican SUI
pervisor, who was at leisure then. un-
folded the official ballot and found that
every Democratic candidate aud not one
of the Republicans had been crossed. The
ballot was taken to the warden and can
celled and new one properly marked and
voted.
AS to the Second Ward 1t will be shown
that Mayor Honey when he counted the
ballots for that district shifted seventeen
votes from Pinard and placed them to his
own credit, and that the count for Two
other Democrats were so juggled as to
give each OF them sixteen votes that be-
longcd to Republican candidates.
The usual fight over the sheriffs' berths
did not seem to materialize. In Kent
County the opposition to Sheriff Sprague
had disappeared, and the cause OF this is
said TO be an agreement that Representa-
tive Allen of East Greenwich shall have
the naming of the deputy sheriff who is
to serve in that town.
A lively fight is on on account

"a hitch in that program, though.
The last hours Of the night were made
hideous by the usual maudlin carousals
Of people who were making their first
after rest were regaled with the sounds of
revelry and ribald songs, interspersed
with the mournful bazoo of the fog horns
and the melancholy and funeral-like
tolling of the fog bells.

had fairly begun Newport is not city
of early risers. but this morning all were
astir betimes.
Soon on the streets began to appear
vehicles from all parts of the island, and
the sidewalks were thronged with pedes-
trians. Up and down Pelham street,
along Thames and about the state House
gathered the densest throngs. The leRls-

tages, still talking politics where they
left off last night.
The day was begun.
