Providence. April 4.-The Republican canvass
mas been continued vigorously to-day in all the
large centres of population. In Providence the
great event has been the dinner Of the Young
Mems Republican Club, at which Secretary Tracy,
Congressman Deliver and others made earnest
and effective speeches Senator Frye spoke at
Woonsocket, Of the main Backgrounds or
the election. At Pawtucket eX-Spcaker Reed. en-
Congressman Horr and others addressed large
massmecting Many other meetings were held in
the State Tomorrow Mr.. Reed will speak in
Newport, Mr.. Iorr in East Providence, and Con-
gresham Burrows and others in the closing rallies
of tho canvass. The Democrats are holding
few small meetings tonight, but their canvass
virtually ended with Mr. Clevelauds reception
on Saturday afternoon
"The Providence Journal" in very able and
well-written article this morning again cXerts
Its influence strongly against the Democratic
party, and efTectually dspels the illusion that the
independent voters Of the State can be whipped
into line by Mr. Clevelands belated essay
tariff reform 1t charges the Democracy with
offering them pig in 4 poke in place Of Senator
Adrich, and declares that the quality Of the
animal obtained in such trade is likely to be
very poor.
While Rhode Island must be considered doubt
full State until the ballots are counted OIL We'd
nesday night, the Republicans are greatly en-
couraged by signs Of enthusiasm and interest in
their canvass which have been shown in every
quarter. The result will largely depend upon
the vote of Providence but ! do not believe that
The Republican plurality outside of this city
will be less than 1900 on the State ticket. I'm
less that plurality can be overcome in Providence
by the Democracy, the Republicans will elect their
candidates for State officers. The election Of Mr.
Aldrich by the next General Assembly can DC
claimed with fair degree OF certainty. There
is danger lest Republicans in their eagerness to
secure the return of Senator Aldrich may relax
their efforts for thc election Of their candidate
for Governor If they do, they viii find cause
for bitterly regretting their indifference and
neglect.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The Democrats while claiming resolutcly
the next General Assembly, and the
defeat OF Senator Aldrich are conccn-
trating their energies upon their candidate
for Governor If they defeat Mr. Brown they
will claim a sweeping Democratic triumph. for
they will assert, with reason. that the electoral
vote of the State will not be determined in No.
yember by majority on Joint ballot in the
Legislature, but by a plurality of tic popular
vote. Republicans and Independent voters must
look the fact directly in the face If they want
70 have the moral effect Of complete Republi-
can victory, which will invigorate the party for
the arduous campaigning of the Presidential year
they must elect their State ticket well as carry
the Legislature. II is a plurality of the popular
vote which will count in November That
plurality ought 10 be secured for their candidate
for Governor.
The most encouraging reports are received from
Westerly, Newport, Bristol, Warren. Pawtucket,
Lincoln and WoonsOckct Of the prospects Of Re-
publican success. In Newport Mayor Honey has
been making desperate efforts TO secure Demo
cratic triumph, SO as to strengthen his own po
Ntical ascendancy. lie is bright and capable
but very ambitious man, who. until eight years
ago. was an active Republican. lie now aspircs
10 control the Democratic party OF the State and
90 teach his Providence and Pawtucket rivals
