Show RHODE ISLAND 0, I, The Desperate Efforts of the Democrats Demo-crats to Send a Bourbou Successor to Aldrich to the Senate Fail. The Returns of Yesterday Show a Great Republican Victory at Every Point. STATE TICKET ELECTED. Brown, Republican, for L.overnor has a Majority of 183 All but Two of the Others Also Elected. A HEAVY VOTE POLLED. The Career Cities Through the Recently Imported Foreign Vote were Mostly Democratic Full !etaili of the Flection are Now In. Providence, P.. L, April 7. Complete Com-plete returns from all parts ot the state show a total vote for the state Cicket of 54,74", an increase o': about 10.000 over the largest ever polled before The two parties raked every city and town almost al-most bare of voters and got out an unexpectedly unexpec-tedly and unprecedeutediy full vote in actual ac-tual numbers and in proportion to the possi-lbe possi-lbe vote. The finished returns show a great republican republi-can victory on the state ticket. Brown (republican) (re-publican) for governor polled 27,466; Ward-well Ward-well (democrat), 25,41(5; Giiberl (prohibition), (prohibi-tion), 1500; Burton (peoples), 196. There were seventy-five scattering votes. These figures show a plurality of 2047 for Brown and a majority of ISO. Bull and Utter, republican re-publican candidates for lieutenant-governor and secretary of state, were also elected by small majorities, but there is no election for attorney-general and general-treasurer. The cities of Providence, Newport and Woodsocket went democratic on the 6tate ticket. The legislature returns show a good republican majority in both branches already, al-ready, with between eighteen and twenty vacancies yet to be filled. In the senate the republicans have thus far elected twenty out of thirty-six members, and in the house forty-one out of seventy members. This gives them sixty-one on joint ballot, a majority ma-jority of six besides vacancies yet to be tilled by second elections. Most of these failures to elect are in Providence Prov-idence and Newport. In the former city only three of thirteen members of the legislature legis-lature were chosen and in Newport only one of six. Other failures were scattered ajioug small towns. The control of the legislature by the republicans gives tliern their choice of candidates for attorney general and general gen-eral treasurer and secures beyond doubt the re-election of Nelson W. Aldrich to the senate. The republicans are feeling very jubilant as they h ve secured everything to be desired, de-sired, with the assurance of everything in the legislature, all their state officers, and the United States senators are crestfallen, having nothing to hope from the second elections, except local influence and indorsement, indorse-ment, as postponed trials cannot effect the result in any important respect.
