Republicans Victorious.

Providence, R. F., April 7.—The state election resulted in an overwhelming republican victory. Neither party conducted a live campaign, the success of Gov. Dyer and his associates being a foregone conclusion. The socialist labor vote shows a large increase, while the prohibitionists beat the democrats in several towns as usual. At midnight the figures indicated a majority over all for Dyer of 2,924. The legislature will be republican, insuring the reelection of United States Senator Aldrich.
