for Tariff Reform.

HRONfnENlE, Ia. L., Apf4 me polite
al temperature OF Rhode Island is at fever
heat tonight Both parties profess conf
dence There have been rallies in every
bah available ana the enthusiasm is un-
limited.
The Democratic campaign reached its
climax today in eN-president Cleveland's
speech and reception. Mr.. Cleveland was
greeted on his arrival with such a demon
stratiou as Providence has seldom given
any public man.
Hon. ". T. e. Wardweu, OF Bristol.
candidate for Governor, presided. Hepre-
sented Mr.. Cleveland as the next presi-
dent and again there was wild applause
and waving Of hGndkerchiefs by the ladies
iu the boxes. The eX-Prcsideut spoke as
follows,
I have found 10 impossible 20 decline the
invitation YOU sent me 20 meet here to-day
the Democracy Of Rhode Island I have
come 20 look i'm the faces of the men who
have been given the place of honor In the
advance of the vast army which moves to-
ward the decisive battle field Of next No
vember i have not come to point the way
10 consolation in case Of Your defeat, bat 1
have come to share the enthusiasm which
presageS victory. 1 have not come to con-
dole with you upon the difficulties which
confront YOU, but 10 suggest that they will
only add 70 the glory OF your triumph. 1
have come 10 remind YOU that the iutrenCh-'
nents of spells and patronage cannot avail
against the valor and determination OF
right; that corruption and bribery cannot
smother and destroy the aroused conscience
Of our cOuntrymen, and that splendid
achievements await those who braVely,
honestly, and StuO0OrnlY tight in the peO-
pies cause.
Let US not for a moment miss the inSpira-
ton Of those words. The Peoples Cause"
They signify the defense Of every man,
rich or poor In every corner of our land,
who, by virtue of simple American man
hood, LAYS claim 20 the promises Of our free
Government, and they mean the promotion
of the welfare and happiness of the
humblest American citizen who cOnhdingly
invOkes the protection of just and equal
laws The covenant Of our Democratic
faith, as 7 understand IL, eXacts constant
effort in this cause and its betrayal I con
ceive % be a crime against the creed OF
true Democracy.
The struggle I'm which YOU are engaged
arrests the attention OF your party brethren
in every State, aud they pause In their
preparation for the general engagement,
near at hand, in which all WILL be in the
feld and look toward Rhode Island with
hone and trust They read the legends On
YOUR banners and they hear your rallying
cries. and know that your night Is in the
peoples cause.
no disbursement In this vast waiting
array, but YOU wiz win their plaudits and
cover yourselves with glory by winning
success. Large aud bright upon your ban
ners are blaz0ned the words, Tariff Re
form shi5oleth Of true Democracy
and the test OF loyalty 10 the peoples cause.
Great applause
TARIFF OPPONENTS.
Those who oppose tariff reform delude
themselves IL they suppose 10 rests wholly
upon appeals % the selfish considerations
and the promise OF advantage, right or
wrong. or thatrhe only hope,of Winning de-
ponds upon arOusing luminosity between
different interests among our people.
While we do not propose that those whose
welfare we champion shall be blind 70 the
advantages accrulug TO them from our plan
of tariff reform and while we are determ-
ined that these advantages shall not be
surrendered 20 the Establishment OF greed
and avarice we will claim nothing that
has not underlying its moral sentiment
and considerations Of equity and good con
science.
Because our case rests upon such tounda-
tiOns, sOrdidness and selhShnesS cannot de-
stroy 10. The fight for Justice and right IS
a clean and comforting one; and because
the American people love justice
