RHODE ISLAND LEADS OFF.
THE FIRST STATE ELECTION OF THE
YEAR A REPUBLICAN WAVE.

PRoHIBrTroNIsTs oUTvoTE THE DEMOCRATS IN
MANY PLACES - GOVERNOR LIPPIrr RE-
ELECTED BY AN INCREASED PLURALITY.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBuNE1
Providence. April If the rest Of the
country follows the lead Of Rhode Island,
indicated In the first State election Of the
year, the triumph Of Republicans and protection
in the Presidential election will be unprecedented.
Contrary to expectation. the vote to-day was as
large as last year In this city more than 1900
votes were cast out Of possible $4,000. The re-
markable record Of 1O,CSs plurality secured by
Governor Lppitt last year, bids fair to be
equalled If not increased when the returns are
ali In.
At this writing 90 voting districts out Of 90
show 25.115 votes for Charles Warren Lppitt
CRepublican), and 1888 for George l.. Littleheld
OemocraD This includes the two heavy Demo-
cratic wards Of this city. The returns indicate
at least 1000 plurality in Prov oviderce 600 in New
port, and 1900 In Warwick. Woonsocket, Paw
tucket. Central Falls. Cumberland and Westerly
all give big Republican pluraities.
The General Assembly will not contain more
than half a dozen Democrats. The only Demo-
cratic Senators are Champlin, from Block
Island and Page Of Sctuate, who reelected.
At this writing only two Democrats ere re-
ported elected 20 the House. DR.. Garvin, the
Democratic leader Of the handful Of Democrats
In the present House. was showed under In
Cumberland.
The attempt to defeat Senator Freeman. the
leader Of the Republicans in the Senate was a
failure. He received 260 plurality In his city.
Central Falls The straight Republican Assem-
bly ticket was elected In Westerly and Cranston.
where there were serious factional fights in the
party and ,rganized bolts
The Prohibition party made extensive gains
throughout the State, and in many towns ex-
ceeded the Democratic vote. The no-license is
sue served to bring out large vote in this city
and Pawtucket. License carried here by vote
of more than two to one. and was also success
ful in Pawtucket and Central Falls.
The Republican successes are so universal and
emphatic that the Democrats attempt to make
no explanation. The triumph Of the party or
protection in all the manufacturing districts,
and the fact that Governor Lippitt is outspoken
as a Mckinley man. has increased the Mckinney
sentiment here, and Mckinley buttons were
being distributed and worn at the State Head
quarters. The Republican State ticket other
than the Cover nor was elected by pluralities In
some cases larger than that Of the head or the
ticket In the State election of 1892 previous 10
the National election the Republican piurahty
was 1000 AS this plurality has been Increased
more than Ave times the verdict Of Rhode
Island on the record OF the ADMINISTRATOR -
emphatic and unmistakable. Providence which
elects an entire Republican delegation In the
Assembly this year. went Democratic last year.
