CHEERFUL GREE7iNUS.

Democrats of Rhode Island feel consider
ably encouraged over the muster held In
Providence. So much life and enthusiasm
was manifested that more than one party
adh srent began to feel thatNthe result OF
the election OF April is not so entirely
mortgagcd by the Republican party as the
voters on that side of the fence would have
US think.
There were prominent members OF the
Democracy present at the convention and
the candidates were duly informed of their
nomination. The one thing that seemed
to be visibly impressed upon the nominees
was the fact that the party must work ana
work hard II 1t is to make any showing at
ths polls. That strong possibility OF
victory lurkes beneath all this buncombe
about the sovereignty of the Republican
party is not denied by anyone who has
given the subject impartial attention. The
ticket is headed by man who has the re-
spect and good will of every Rhode Is
nder, irrespective of party or political
preferment. The subordinate officers are
also able men and men well fitted to assist
ia leading the party to victory If the goal
Of victory is possible this year. AS the
chairman expresses IL, the tide has begun
to turn, and, whether 1t has already turned
enough to ensure victory, or not, big
vote will be piled up for the Democratic
party on April z.
fractional contests have hurt the Demo-
cratic party immeasurably In the past, but
it begins to look now as II the different
elements would get together and present
an unbroken front to the enemy on elec-
ton day. There are Democratic voters
e Tough in Rhode Island to achieve DEM
ocratic victory, II they get together and
and by the cause till the last gun is fired.
1t is only matter of few days now until
election; there are only few days more in
which to fight. Every Democrat should be
at the polls on April and sec to 1t that
every other Democrat, in so far as he 10
able, Is there too.
