A good clean ticket to vote for State
officers next Wednesday is the one headed
by Governor Charles Warren Lippitt and
Secretary of state Charles p. Bennett.
The chief Characteristic about the ticket
named Is that all of the candidates have
been tried and found t. be capa BILE cautious
and economical officers to have charge Of
the States affairs. They are the present
incumbent in Office, and are fully ac-
quainted with the details OF their respec-
tive positions. Moreover, none OF them
has been shown to have done aught that
should lead any voter OF the State to feel
anything but the greatest confidence in
their management of The States affairs.
1t is seldom In either OF the great parties
that so faithful and conscientious officials
are found. They seem to be not so much
psrtizans as citizens, those who have
been elevated to their high Offices by the
votes of their brother taxpayers, and
who, being so elected, mean to discharge
the duties OF their positions to the best
possible advantage of every citizen of the
State. We bespesk for them large
majority when the votes are counted.
Rhode Islanders are pleased to reward
faithful service in these days OF political
schemes.

THE STATE ELECTION. n
About this time make up your mind to
90 to the polls and vote on Wednesday
next.
II you have not already made up your
mind to vote the Republican ticket now
is the time to do it.
The general ticket headed by Governor
CHARLES WARREN LIPprTT, will, in all
human probability, be elected by good
safe plurality, but let not this confidence
deter any Republican from going to the
polls and performing his duty as Repub-
lican and a citizen.
There should be good deal of patriotic
and partiznn pride about the performance
of this duty In this year of grace, 1896,
"Presidential year."
Rhode Island Republicans and citizens
of independent political proclivities have
in recent years demonstrated that they
have pride in expressing their senti-
ments when principle and large issnes are
at stake quite irrespective OF the chances
of electing their candidates. In April,
1894, after the first year OF Democratic
administration in all departments OF the
| government at Washington, the citizens
| Of Rhode Island set the ball a-rolling
against everything Democratic by piling
up over 20, 600 votes fer Governor BROWN
against less than %, 600 votes for one OF
the strongest gubernatorial candidates
the Democracy ever put up. In the fall
OF that same year, although Republican
success in the Congressional campaign
was foregone conclusion, Republicans
turned out and swamped the Democratic
party by vote OF nearly two to one in
the Second Congressional district and an
overwhelming majority in the First. And
to emphasize the position OF Rhode Island
In favor of what stood for Repub-
licanism as opposed to whatever
stood for Democracy the voters of Rhode
Island in April OF last year, after q cam
| paign of no excitement and with Demo-
cratic defeat as certain as taxes, gave to
CHARLES WARREN LIPPITT nearly
eleven thousand moro votes than they
did to Mr.. LIrTLEFIELp, who represented
the Democracy-an unprecedented Repub-
lican victory.
The same candidates head the two lead
ing parties today that were up last spring.
But Governor LIpPITT and the balanc
of the Republican ticket have the ad-
vantage Of an excellent record in Office,
while the Democratic candidate represents
nothing but vague Democratic promises.
1t is Rhode Islands part to "fire the
first gun" for the, Presidential cam.
paign, and while confidence in the result
of the local election offers perhaps little
inspiration to voters, yet an intelligent
electorate should find reason enough FOL
attending to their duty as American citi.
zens in the claim of the Republican ad
ministrstion for splendid endorsement,
and there may well be engendered q
spirit Of enthusiasm to make Republican
victory so complete and so overwhelming
that II shall be an impressive forecast o.
| the Republican tidal wave that Is te
sweep the country in November as 1t die
in 1894.

Newport Mercury,

Our readers should bear in mind hat
next Wednesday, April /, Is the date OF
the State election in Rhode Island. While
1t Is probably a foregone conclusion that
the Republican Statesticket will'be elected,
the party owes IL to itself and to the
cause of good government that IL gives
its nominees rousing big majority. The
election next Wednesday Ia the first to
be held in the year 1896. 1t is the fore
runner of the Congressional and Presi-
dental elections that are to come i'm the
fall. The attention OF the entire nation
will be directed to Rhode Island next
Wednesday and II there Is any falling off
in the majoritics given last year, il will
be held by our free silver, free trade ad-
versaries as an argument that Rhode
Island Is lukewarm on these vital ques-
tions. II is therefore OF the greatest i'm
portance that every Republican, and eve, >
other person anxious for the return OF
better times, go to the polls on April
ticket. II will not be safe for the friends
OF the cause to stay ct home and let the
elections carry themselves. But come out
and vote and take the same interest In the
business that you would II you felt that
the result would deTend entirely upon
your vote. The Republicans have put up
good and safe men. They have served the
State during the past wear with credit to
themselves and with much satisfaction to
the people. They should by all means
be re-clect,d and by majorities that will
show that their efforts in behalf OF the
people during the past year are appre-
ciated.
