The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-04-01

Up to o'clock the vote was the largest
ever in this city to that hour.- Both par
ties claim the Assembly ticket.
CENTRAL FALLS.
Senator Freeman of Central Falls was
in Providence this morning and said that
il he didn't win by 200 plurality, in spite
of the alleged opposition against him, that
he didn't know anything about politics.
Central Falls VIII give larger Republican
pluralities than usual and the total vote
is being increased by the efforts to.carry
no-license.
NORTH sMITHFIEID.
North Smithfield, osS of the three
towns represented by a Democratic Sen
ator, Is getting out its usual vote and 120
have already been cast. Mr.. Metcalf Com
stock, the Democratic candidate for the
Senate, is not making SO good showing
as Senator Andrews did year ago, and
the result is by no means certain. Repre-
sentative Helm is practically sure of re-
election. On the State ticket the Demo-
Gratis will win by about half a dozen
votes
RICHMOND.
In Richmond Senator Kenyon Is, of
course, sure of reelection and Charles j.
Greene will succeed Representative STAN
ton in the House. There is a good vote
out and Governor Lippitt's plurality in
this town will be nearly 100. The Pro-
hibitionists are coming out second best
and getting more votes than the Demo
Gratis.
WARREN.
Senator Drown and Representative
Peck are polling their usual big vote and
Governor Lippitt's plurality Will be some
thing like 150.
WEST GREENWICH.
West Greenwich will return both OF her
present representatives in the Legislature
and give the Republican candidates on
the general ticket the biggest part of the
100 votes that will be cast by tonight.
TIvERToN.
Both districts of Tiverton are putting
out big vote and "local pride'' is hav-
ing a slight influence on the vote for the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of
State, Mr.. George L. Church. The final
result on the Assembly ticket is uncertain
and both parties are claiming that they
will elect their candidates for the Senate
ana House. A plurality, however, is con-
ceded in this town for Governor Lippitt.
LINCOLN.
The no-license question is bringing out
a big vote in Lincoln, and the increase is
in the interests of even a larger Republi-
can majority for Senator Aldrich and
Representative Vose and Comstock than
by which they were elected a year ago.
The Republican State ticket is promised
a.plurallty OF over. 800.
PORTSMOUTH.
The. usual vote is being brought out in
Portsmouth and Gov. Lippitt's plurality
is now estimated to be about no. The
Prohibitionists are working hard and, as
last year, will get more votes than the
Democratic candidates.
RpnraQontatfyn TaI xuil
Senator Dyer and the Republican candi-
date, Charles ]. Coggeshall will represent
Portsmouth in the House.
WESTERLY.
The fight 10 defeat Walter Price for
second representative and the exeTtions
of the Prohibitionists are the interesting
features OF the election today at Westerly.
At noon 400 votes had been cast, and he
supporters of the regular caucus are con-
fident that Mr.. Price will win. There is
no doubt about the reelection of.Sena-
tor Bentley and Representative Crumb,
nor of Governor Lippitt's majority. A
vote of about $50 Is now conceded TO
Thomas III. Peabody, Prohibition candi-
date for Governor.
NEW sHoREHAM.
From present indications IL looks as IL
the people of New Shoreham would re-
peat the vote of year ago and give Gov
State ticket plurality, but re-elect the
Democratic Assemblymen Champlin and
Rose. A much larger vote Is expected
than was polled in 1895, because of the
interest among the islanders in the IL
cense question.
NORTH KINGsTowN.
The liquor men are trying their best to
get the town TO go back TO the system of
license. The temperance people are
making stiff fight for another year of
no-license and big vote on the general
and Assembly tickets is the result. There
is no question, OF course, about the re-
election OF Senator Gregory and Represen-
tative Congoon on the Repu Dlican ticket
and Governor LipI hts plurality will be
something over 200.
SOUTH KINGsTowN.
A plurality of 100 votes is prophesied
for Governor Lippitt in the hnal result
tonight in the two voting districts OF
South KiDgstown. There isn't much in
terest being displayed on either side, and
there Is no reason for believing that q
larger vote than usual will be cast. At IL
O'Clock this forenoon less than 200 voters
bad been cast I'm the first district. The
reelection of Senator Watson is a matter
of course, and the Republic candidate
for the House, Nathaniel X. Greene. will
succeed Representative John X. Hull.
sMTrHFIEID.
In Smithfeld what little OF n fight there
is Is between the Republicans and Prohi
bitionists, as there are no Democratic
candidates. There is no question as 10
the outcome, however, and Senator WhiD-
ple will succeed himself and the Republi-
