BULL AND CAPR0N.


The vote cast throughout the state
yesterday for the congressional can
didates was not as heavy as IL was two
years ago. but. nevertheless. both
Messrs. Bull and Capron are reelected
by quite handsome pluralitles. The
fact is that there was so much GER

gentlemen that I'm many cities and
towns the vote was comparatively
light. Two years ago Congressman Bull
had a plurality OF 1896. as against n

ROGER wOICOTT

The returns from the congressional
districts were much slower ia coming
In than those for governor. There were
many surprises. and the losses by the
Republicans showed the result of Wig
orous work by the Democrats in nearly
every district. While ali but one or
the Republicans were UP for reelection,
each had his majority of 1896 materially
reduced. while Barrows, in the Tenth
and Walker in the Third district
were defeated. In nearly every case
tt~Republican vote fell off greatly from
that of 1885, although many of the can
didates ran on nearly even terms with
the vote for governor. While Law
renee, in the First district. ran fairly
well. Gillette. in the Second. was badly
cut. and his opponent gained over the
vote OF 1885,
Knox. in the Fifth, until the small
towns came To his rescue. Jared very
badly and at one time il appeared as IL
he had been defeated.
The Republicans also hoped TO carry
the Ninth district with the aid OF the
independent Democratic candidate, but
here again-theY- disappointed,
while in the Seventh, where Barrett had
a wide margin in 1896. the warm fight
OF Mayor Ramsdell made great inroads
into the Republican ranks although he
was treated TO surprise in his own city.
which he lost by over 500 votes.
The Republican vote in the Eleventh
district fell off. while the Democratic
candidate, Baker, gained considerably.
The vote in the Fourth district also fell
off, but both sides suffered nearly
equally.
In the Twelfth district Brady ran
ahead of the Democratic vote of 1896:
Lowering went behind his own Of that
year
Greene. in the Thirteenth, ran well,
while his opponent lost ground.
While Governor Wolcott was re-elect-
cd by an increased plurality over last
year, the Democrats made surprising
gains in nearly every congressional dis
trict and not only succeeded in lncreas-
ING its representation from one to three,
but defeated Joseph II. Walker Of
Worcester. supposed TO have been one
of the strongest opponents in the whole
state The election OF John X. Thayer in
Walkers district, the Third, was as much
surprise to the Democrats as to the
Republicans, and proved TO be the sem
sation OF the whole campaign.

WAS NOT APPROVED.
Revised Constitution Received Majority but mol
the Required Thrss-flfths Vote.

The revised constitution failed TO re-
ceive the required three-fifths vote.
and this in spite of the fact that the
cities of the state, including Newport
approved IL by handsome majorities. 1t
was the country towns that brought
about it's rejection. and ii is believed
that one of the main objections TO the
measure in these sections is because il
provided for biennial elections, and
there seemed TO be a reluctance to do
away with the usual annual excitement
i'm the spring. The returns from the
cities and towns of the state are:
