mcnts Of o nnifber Of members OF the Republican
Climb collected at No. 45o F1rthave., saying: at Is
highly gratifying intelligence. We do not think here
that the Republicans Of this country have any reason
for melancholia at the prospects before them In the
year 1902 Our brethren Of Rhode Island have shown
us that there Virtue in hard work. and have set an
example for NevYorkers which they should be ready 70
follow Free silver and free trade In tile gulse OF
tariff reform have received defeat which Will prove
dsbeartenng To their adherents all over the country
Ex-Governor p. T. LOunsbery, OF Connecticut, said
that the Democrats hnd rarely met more dicouraglng
repulse In Presidential year. They had maSsed Their
strongest campagners In Rhode Island, and made a
Supreme effort to deceive and misead the woringmen
10 the support OF free silver and free trade The Issue was
realy National one. md the result was disastrous
defeat for free rnde as cxpounded by Mr. Cleveland
and his admirers II was decisive victory for Re
publican principles which would continue to be felt in
ALI rars OF the country until the general election day
In November.
Il not at all surprised at the result said
Henry II. De Milt the tin importer, last evening.
"The Democrats made supreme effort 10 defeat
AldIch and get the little State into the Democratic
line but they could not deceive the men who make
their living In the Rhode Island woonen mills and
other manufacturing establishments. There wus moth
Ing concealed. The respective sides were presented
clearly and fully before the people. Ii was contest
between protection and tariff reform, which Is the
Democratic synonyme for free trade. The issue was
q most entirely National one. in my opinion. and
free from local distractions. The people went to the
polls with a perfectly clear idea Of what they were
called upon decide and they decided for the prolec
ton OF the American worknen and against free trade
Mr.. Cleveland present 70 help in the presentation
Of the Democratic case. Governor Mckinley, the
great champion Of the protection policy, was on the
ground for the other SIDE the fully each side
explained It's principles. the Of the
result Next fall Rhode Island will choose Republican
electors Just as certain as victory achieved there
yesterday"
Yesterdays victory In Rhode Island means victory
Tor the Republican party next November" said Ed
ward T. Bartlett. the lawyer and e2presidcnt Of the
Republican Club. "And 1t not only indicates Re
publican triumph during the coming National cam
pagn but II means that the Democratic party Will
be afraid to nominate Cleveland. The Democratic de
feat is a severe blow TO Cleveland and the Hin men
are secretly rejoicing
"The result is gratifying and II goes 10 show that
10 be successful the Republican party must make an
aggressive fight for the Republican doctrines Of pro
lection to American industries and the maintenance
of sound American currency said John = Smith,
vice president Of the Republican Club. "1he Rcpub-
ncans could ask for greater proof that the party
Is making its fight this year on the grandest principles
principles that appealed in Rhode Island to the
workingman and every good thinking ctzeh OF the
State and that will appeal 10 the whole country 50
powerfully that magnificent Republican victory
will BE- the result in November. II also Indicates
certain victory for Republicans In Indiana. Michigan,
Illinois and other states which the Democrats are
already claiming for their candidate for President

house and the result proved it." said John H. sarn.
1.-THE issue was made fairly and squarAy in Rhode
lsland on the silver question and on the tarh issue
and believe that the people Of the country arc not
going to change from Republican 70 a Democratic
administration. Honest money and protective tariff

Both the Republicans and Democrats were thor
oughly organized and II cannot be said by the Demo
Gratis that any Of their voters remained at home sd
