The Governor Of Massachusetts In
vades Rhode Island.
THAT DEMOCRATIC BARBECUE.
congressn,an Warner Came Last Night
and the Two Distinguished Men wero
Taken to Rocky Point To-day-Not
Very Large Crowd ON the Boats.

The Democrats are nothing II not imi-
tative. This Is especially true of RHODE
ISLAND Democrats, and particularly so of
those who to-day are holding barbecue
at Rocky Point.
This barbecue is essentially different
from that usually held in the Southern
States.
Great prominence has been given to the
barbecue to-day, because OF the notables
who were expected to appear and revive
the depressed. These speakers included
Gov. Russell of Massachusetts, Congress
man John DE Witt Warner OF New York,
Mayor Coughlin Of Fall River. Mayor
Carmichael of Lowell. w. q. Brown of
Alabama, president OF Harvard College
Club and j. Stacey Brown also OF liar-
ward College. Mr.. Brown gave the RHODE
ISLAND Democrats the benefit Of his views
at their exclusive dinner some time ago
at the Union Club.
ExGov. Davis, Mayors Pond of Woon-
socket and Carroll of Pawtucket consti-
iuted the sub-receptioD committee which
met Gov. Russell at the depot at 1l05
o'clock this morning, and seated in an
open barouche escorted him to the Con-
tinental steamboat wharf where they
boarded the steamer Thomas A. Morgan,
in command Of Capt. Kelly, which had
the arrival of this party.
Gov. Russell was accompanied by his
brother and Il. l.. O'Brien. His staff was
conspicuously absent. The governo or said
TO NEWS representative, when interro-
gated as to whether he had held out any
inducements to ex-President Cleveland TO
come over TO RHODE ISLAND:
"No, have not endeavored to indnce
Mr.. Cleveland to come. i did not under
stand that 1t was part OF my duty to
offer such inducements to him."
The Governor evidently thought the
committee would not impose on him such
a useless task.
He knew that the President has that
"tired feeling" whenever he heard the
name of RHODE ISLAND, which he thinks
is synonymous with Democratic demoral-
ization.
Congressman Warner arrived from New
York last night on the midnight train. He
was met at the depot by another sub
committee consisting of Mayor Potter,
Congressman Lapham and the Hon. 4.
Z. Owen, who escorted him to the Maria
gansett Hotel, where lie held levee this
morning with distinguished small fry.
This committee again reporred shortly
after 10 o'clock A. NJ, and conducted
their guest to the steamer
The majority Of Democracy's represen-
tatives did not reach Rocky Point till
after 12 o'clock to-day. The thousands"
who were expected did not materialize.
though respectable showing was made.
Many were there out OF curiosity. Others
were demonstrative because of banker
ing after "The Spoils OF Egypt"
Among the prominent Democrats pres

coin and Col. p. w. Bowes Of PRovI-
DENCE.
Hedley's National Band furnished the
music not otherwise furnished by the
speakers.
Manager Harrington had prepared one
of his elaborate shore dinners which was
attacked with true Democratic voracious-
ness. Under the deadly and determined
assaults a very effective impression was
made.
At 2:30 speaking was begun in the
Coliseum, which had been decorated for
the occasion.
The affair at Rocky Point included no
roast OK and the reason for the appella-
tion may be found in the speeches, poss.-
