| Pr evidence, r. l., April 2.-The po-
| litical temperature of Rhode Island is
at fever heat tonight. Both parties pro-
fess confidence. There have been rallies
in every hall available and unlimited
enthusiasm. The Democratic campaign
reached its climax today in eX-President
Cleveland's speech and reception. Mr..
| Cleveland was greeted on his arrival
with a demonstration as Providence has
seldom given any man.
Half an hour before his train was due
the station and streets leading to the
| opera house were crowded with thou
sands of people, and the number did
not diminish, although the train was
over an hour late. The engine drew
| up below the station and the eX-presi
dent alighted with ex-Secretary of the
| Navy Whitney, ex-Gov. Campbell. of
| Ohio, and Congressman Oscar Lapham.
| John A. Mccall, of New York, and Mr..
Evans, of Philadelphia, friends of ex-
Gov. Campbell, were also of the party.

crowd. however. which closed around
the carriages and shouted and cheered
for Cleveland. The party was driven
rapidly to the opera house through a
mass Of people W no blocked the streets
and followed them. The opera house
was packed shortly after o'clock, and
all the state candidates and almost all
| the leading Democrats in the state were
| OH the platform.
Several short speeches were made be-
fore eX-presdent Cleveland arrived.
Congressman William McAdoo, of New
| Jersey, was speaking when Mr.. Cleve-
| land came i'll, and his entrance was q
signal for burst of enthusiastic cheer
| ing. After silence had been secured
| Hon. T. w. G. Wardell, of Bristol, can
| didate for governor, presented Mr..
| Cleveland as the next president, at
which there was wild applause, and
waving of handkerchiefS by the ladies
in the boxes. The ex-president spoke
in part as follows: =

| election Mr.. Cleveland addressed himself to

multitude who are neglected when
| selfish greed is in the ascendancy;
those who believe that the legiti-
| mate motive of Our government is to
equal and exact Justice to all our people,
| and gran; especial privileges TO none: those
| who believe that q nation Boosting that its
| foundation is i'll honesty and conscience
/ cannot afford to discard moral sentiment.
and those who would save our institutions
from the undermining decay of sorddness
| and selfshneSs. can hardly excuse them
selves if they fail to join us i'll the crusade
| we have undertaken. Certainly our sincerity
| cannot be questioned. We have never low
| cred our standard. 1t surely was not policy
| nor expediency that induced us defiantly to
| carry the banner OF tariff reform as we went
| forth to meet u well organized and desper-
ately determined army in the disastrous field
| of 1855. At
The Waterloo of 1890
tariff reform had it's vindication, and prin-
| ciple and steadfast devotion to American
fairness and good faith gloriously triumphed
| over plausible stiffness aud attempted pop
| ular deception. The Democratic party still
| champions the cause which defeat could not
| induce 1t to surrender. which no success
| short of complete accom- Eshmeut can tempt
1t to neglect. Mr.. Cleveland then reviewed
the record of the Republican party. and de-
clared that the object of that party was to de-
feat entirely any reform whatever in the
| tariff.
AS to the result of the Mckinley bill, Mr..
| Cleveland asserted that plenty of mills and
! factories had been closed and thousands of
| men had thus lost employment, but the ben
efts promised from the measure and its ad-
vantage TO the people who really need relief
| were not apparent. Reciprocity he char
acterized as iamely limping in the direction
| of freer commercial exchanges. Our op-
| ponents,'' he said in summing up, must i'll
| the coming national canvass settle accounts
| with us on the issue of tariff reform. 1t will
| nt do fort fms tn rhot 10
| old and determined contention. The ten
| commandments are thousands of years old
| but they and the doctrine of tariff reform
| will be taught and preached until mankind
| and the Republican party shall heed the in
| junction, Thou shalt not steal {"
| HeHad 'Em Pat.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke half an hour in
loud and clear tone, and was listened to
with close attention, each paragraph
being greeted with round of applause.
His first referenct to tariff reform was
| the signal for burst of cheers. There
was another when, referring to the
same subject, he. said: "Whe have
never lowered our Standard" and a
voice shouted, land never will" In
the next five minutes he was inter
rupted again and again with applause
and cheering. The audience was
evidently. thoroughly in sympathy
|
his discussion of the tariff,
and wit and sarcasm appearing here
| and there met instant and hearty re-
spouse in laughter and clapping. The
| speakers comparison of tariff reform
| with the Commandments called forth
applause and cheers which lasted fully
minute, and was renewed again and
again. At the close of his speech he
was greeted with prolonged cheering.
EX-GOv. James E. Campbell, of Ohio,
| followed, and said the college text
books supported his statement that the

from Blaine's Twenty Years in
Congress-" and from speech of Gar
| fields in the house of representatives,
to the effect that the period from 1850
| to 1880 was one of prosperity, as he had
been criticised for declaring that Blaine
had made such statement.
| His Blood Boiled
when he heard the Democratic eandi-
| date for lieutenant governor describe
| the outrages upon foreign-born citizens,
and he denounced as infamous that
! form of government founded on any
| thing less than manhood. He had said
he did not see how a foreign-bern
| citizen or a poor man could vote
| the Republican ticket in Rhode Island
and, quoting from paper, continued:
"This is the reply: There are few
