srom the towns. and the Democrats who
ara runninQ for the general assembly
throughout the state realize the mistake
that was made when the PLATFORM ADOPT
ed at their recent convention iaio pare
the Dem ocratic scheme for obtaining con-
troll of the state. Tie clause calling Tor
a fair and equitable representatl IN or the
towns anil cities In the general assembly
has aroused the suspicion OF the coun-
trymen. They see IN that the Dem
ocratic intention TO reduce the represen-
tation of the towns in the general assem-
hlv and increase that OF tue city OF Provi-
dance @ such an extent that an undesir-
able element in the Tenth ward will have
absolute control of the legislature. The
farmers fear that with the control OF the
general assembly in the hands OF tne
members from Providence their taxes
will be grea ly increased and their bur
dens enlarged.
Renorts indica.e that the Republicans
will hold their own in the towns outside
of Proyidence, and stand u FAIR chance OF
increasing their majority In The ieglsia-
ture.
The Democrats are " Ratified" Already.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Baker is said to be sanguine OF success,
the Democrats have already relaxed their
efforts for the success of the state ticket
and are concentrating their energy upon
several close country towns in the hope
that with Providence. Pawtucket ana
Newport they may carry the general as
sembly and elect the state ticket, Which
can only expect minority vote. III IL

YACHTING AFFAIRS.
"Herreshoff Knows How to Design .

Boat"-Amons the Yachts.
A leading yachtsman, whose judgment
is we'll worth considering says:
"How can the Morgan boat help being
fast, sitting on top of the water, of light
displacement, and with an immense sail
plan. / do not agree with those who
claim great superiority OF tn Q fin boat
over the more pow, rial ones. 1t is my
opinion that the fins. a fins, were better
designed boats than the boats they
met in their rival centerboards last
season, aud that Herreshoff, In his
Morgan boat, will turn out center
board boat superior TO tie Volunteer,
and up TO Il tie in ali that goes to make "A
racing boat. Herresholf has clearly
shown that h. knows how to design a
boat to go fast with a small sail plan,
and believe he is master enough to turn
out an extremely fast hi IA powered boat.
NV idea about the 2-foot class is that
herreshoff in balancing bis boats gained
also my belief that the Morgan boat will
lead the fleet, and give her rivals their
time allowance.
The sail plans of the four cup de-
Tenders can be put down as follows:
The Morgan boat leads, Roge,s second,
Paine third aud Pilgrim the smallest.
The Paine boat will have a sail spread
The Bristol boats will carry not far
from $4,000 square feet. The spars will
be very heavy and made OF Oregon pine.
The tupmasts will be made OF syIuce.
The Navahoe has five main shrouds-
three ling from the masttead aud two
from the hou Ids. The C Ip defenders bui It
in Bristol will be similarly rigged. Cald-
well of East Boston Is making the spars
for he Bristol boats The Rogers boat,
i'm Captain Half. will have an advantage
in handling.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
Rogers and Morgan boats. The former
is all plated and the riv-ters are finish
ing her up. She should be ready for
launching inside OF three weeks. Work
on the Morgan boat is being rushed.
She will havsa Tom bronze cent reboard
aud trunk. Tie fastenings will be OF
metal, wnIch will create no volganic
action between the steel frames and
bronze plating. The sails for the Nava
