Is the Consolidated railroad feeling
of the citizens of this city to ascertain
If they will endure further delay in
the matter of the construction of the
new station?
AT least, that is what the proposition
made in the Journal, upon the author
ity of "a New Haven Official" looks
somewhat like.
The proposal is that as 1t will take at
least two years to complete the new
station, the comfort and convenience of
the travelling public can be very great
ly enhanced by some changes in the
present station. The proposition is to
run all the through trains outside the
present building, and floor over The
space now occupied by the tracks in the
building, reaching the trains by means
of doors to be cut through the north
wall
There would be no objection to this
plan II it could be shown to the city
that it was really meant to be tempo
rary expedient, and would not be used
as an excuse for further and indefinite
delay of the main scheme of the erec-
tion of the new station.
The city's consent to the proposition
is necessary, and ii is stated that it is to
be asked soon. It is thus seen to be in
the power Of the city to exact very
specific pledge from the New Haven
officials as to their intentions regarding
the new station, and it is to be hoped
that the required consent will not be
granted until there has been satisfac-
tory evidence of the intention of the
company given.
The city ought not to quibble too
much, and the history of the whole ter
minal matter shows that it has not
quibbled enough for the protection of
the people. It is time now to refuse any
thing and everything the railroads ask
for until they make pledges that cannot
be broken to proceed with the improve
ments they have promised so many
times as to almost discredit faith in any
thing they can say.

The Republicans are at last fully
awake. They have put ON their armor
and have determined that they will
make an effort to at least redeem this
city.
1t was time for some evidences of life.
There have been many signs Of life, but
the positive evidence has not heretofore
been at hand.
There is no doubt that a proper
amount of work will result in securing
majority in the general assembly, and
that the state may yet be saved to the
citizens who do not believe it necessary
to resort to such tricks as the Demo-
Gratis in the board of aldermen resorted
to yesterday.
Though the Republican organization
has begun to bestir itself it is still for
the voters themselves to win the VIC
tory. There is more than the usual re-
sponsibility resting upon the individual
voters now. They can secure the con-
tinuance of the liberal and progressive
administration Governor Brown has
given the state, including the important
amendments TO the constitution now
pending, or they can turn the state over
to the party that has no higher claim
upon the suffrages of the people than a
gigantic record of broken pledges aud
debauched politics.

A REPUBLICAN STATE.

A lesson Of greater importance was
never more conclusively set before the
Republican party of Rhode Island than
that which the figures of last Wednes-
days election show. Despite the lack
of success, and contrary as the state
ment may seem to the view of the cleo
tion taken by some, the results are con
elusive proof that this is Republican
state and that with plurality elections
Republican government, including both
general officers and general assembly,
can be elected with ease every year.
A few facts will make the statement
plain.
There never has been an election when
the Republican party was so generally
unorganized.
No recent campaign has been attend
ed with so little enthusiasm.
In no campaign has the Republican
party done so little active work.
In no campaign have the Prohibition
lists worked half so hard.
In no campaign have they drawn so
many votes from the Republican ranks.
Almost if not quite four-fifths of the
5000 Prohibition votes are naturally
Republican.
In no campaign have the Democrats
made more strenuous efforts to secure
majority for their candidates.
AS compared with the Republicans
they have done at least twice as much
work.
And what was the result2
The total vote .polled was greater
than ever before cast at any spring
election, with one exception.
The Democratic plurality was less
than 200.
Fully fifteen hundred votes were cast
for the Prohibition candidates which
would be cast for the Republican can
didates in a contest where there was no
possibility that the general assembly
would select a Republican governor.
The Prohibition vote was almost twice
as large as any cast since 1886. If
these voters were convinced that Dem
ocratic rule would inevitably follow
these votes for their principles, there
would be no doubt that they would
vote for the Republican candidates.
In none of the three gubernatorial
elections previous to last year did the
Democratic candidate receive so small
plurality as this year. and if the various
town, city and state Republican organ.
izations had done their whole duty
Governor Brown and all the general
ticket would have received good plu-
ralities.
Under a plurality law the Republicans
would have elected their whole ticket
and have secured nineteen more men,
bers in the general assembly who
actually received pluralities in their
districts.
