RHODE ISLAND And THE WORhINGMEN

With more complete returns the Republican
majority in Rhode Island grows, and the mean-
ing Of that majority. 1t Is made clearer that
Democratic workingmen themselves have done
the work. defeating by about 5000 plurality
the party to which. only year ago, they helped
TO give n small plurality. The vote was nearly
10 900 for the two leading candidates, whereas
only 81 300 were cast for Harrison and Cleve-
land I'm the last Presidential election. Many
towns I'm which Democrats have had an un-
broken series OF victories for years have given
Republican majorities, and where the great pro
norton Of voters Is engaged IN manufacturing
Industries the reaction against the Democratic
party has been most severe. Even in Woon-
socket. where the Democrats had counted on Il
great addition TO their usual majority, having
registered and naturaZed great number Of
French Canadians, they We're beaten by 200.
out OF 100 Senators and Representatives they
appear 10 have elected only Senators and 3
Representatives
So complete and overwhelming defeat would
be accounted most significant il 1t stood alone.

Island is just like that which has been wit

TILE R1PIU IRdNSLT BILL.

All tha evidence obtainable at this time ind-
cafes that a majority Of the intelligent citizens
of Nev-York are heartily In favor OF the rapid
transit nlan which the Chamber OF Commerce
hill, il designed TO carry out. The main features
and the essential purpose OF that measure are
certainly approved by those who have most i'm
nortiollv and carefully considered the existing
conditions and requirements OF the metropolis.
Some notifications OF the bill which the Legis-
lature has now begun to consider seriously
may he desirable. Our opinion is that 1t could
no advantaccously amended by the substitution
of Mr. John ii. Starns name for that or Mr-
Orr I'm the list of Commissioners. and by more
definite expression of the acknowledged prefer
cnce of those who framed the bill for under
ground roads Of the character described by
Mr. Hewitt and Mr.. Wilson.
We do not underrate Mr.. Orrs qualihcauohs
for a trust of this kind, but 1t seems unneces'
sary and perhaps unwise, 10 draw upon BROOK
lyn in making up a Commission to carry out
an undertaking which New-York Is to pay for.
Moreover and this Is the main point, MI Starln
has served this community with absolute hdel-
ity and a high degree Of sagacity and courage
as n member of the present Commission. Ex-
cent for his discernment and firmness New
York would have been inextrcably consigned
10 the clutches of the Manhattan Company.
There is not the slightest doubt in the minds
Of those who know what his colleagues have
been craftly and persistently attempting to ac-
complsh for the last three years that the com
munity owes It's salvation from that fate 10 Mr..
Starin. He penetrated their purpose and has
ihwarted It, He, more than any other citizen
has earned the right TO be member OF the
new Commission Or rather. he has conferred
upon the community the incstmabe privilege
Of securing in him Commissioner whose SUI
perlatvc qualifications for the place have been
conclusivey proved.
The substitution Of Mr.. Starin's name FOR
Mr. Orr's would therefore he generally deemed
an invaluable guarantee Of the public welfare

Senator Lexow succeeded yesterday in secur-

The Democrats opposed the measure, of course;
they would he glad TO see the investigation
dropped All the Republicans and Senator
Bradley rallied TO Mr.. Lexows support. This
bill ought TO receive favorable attention in the
Assembly 1t was the failure Of the Legislature
to pay the expenses of the Fassett Committee
after they had been incurred that renders the
massage Of the present measure necessary.
