Rhode Islands total vote ton light will.
In all probability, be the largest ever cast,
and the fears OF apathy resulting from
over confidence were proved to be ground
less in ell the voting districts throug hout
| the State.
In the cities where the polls opened at
sunrise there were men waiting to be let
In, and the same was true of the town
where, as rule. the polls are not opened
until O'Clock. The first hours voting
was unprecedented, and the pace has been
kept up.
As to the results in Rhode Island, it ia
only question OF how large the Republi-
can majority will be. A conservative es-
timate that the State's'totai vote for Nc
Kinley will be 80, 900, while the com bined
vote OF both CongI essionaI districts for
Mr.. Bull and Mr.. Capron will exceed that.
In this city the local fight is by no
means being lost sight of in the national
issue, and there Is much interest-in the
result OF the msyoralty contest. An i'm
mense increase in the vote of the Repuo-
lican districts, where the poll was small
last November, indicates q Republican
victory for Mr.. CovelL
In his own ward the Covell voters are
rallying in all three districts, W nile IN the
Thirc, which was the McGuinness strong
hold wear ago, the nature of the vote
being cast today is an enigma. The
Mayors orkers are not sure of II by any
means, and are basing their hope on Re-
publican OBJECTIONS.
At noon the total vote cast In this city
wac 962S, which is greater than II was at
o'clock on year ago, and 3942 in excess
Of the noon vote last year. In some dis |
tricts the votingsis practically doubled,
hour for hour. and these gains are most |
marked in the strong Republican dis !
trIcts. For instance. in the two dis
tricts OF the Seventh Ward there is q
noon gain over last year OF 5l4 votes,
while In all three districts of the Third |
the gain for the same hour Is but 292.
The IL o'clock vote in all districts for
this year and last is ss follows:

REPUBLICAN RECORD.

Rhode Island Contributed 10 Democratic
Presidential Success Just Once.
In combating free silver talk and state-
ments that Bryan mas the least might of

and last time went Democratic in pres!.

to the success of Franklin Pierce. That's
pretty good Republican record. Four
years ago Rhode Island gave small pIur-
ality for Harrison over Cleveland. The
figures were 1887.
