OIIICAOO , 111. . April 2. National politics Is
what scorns to bo In the nlr tonight at the
Irlquols club. The chnlr of the democratic
central committees of eight contiguous west
ern stntoi do not often got together nt the
opening of a presidential campaign without
thn event posse slng special significance ,
even at such Important gatherings politically
nnn socially , ns the Irlquols banquoti hnvo
invariably proven In the putt.
Tonight not only were the eight moguls
indicated present , but among the 300 ether
guests were such distinguished democratic
loudcrs and party npostlos as Governor
Uoyd of Nebraska , Govurnor Peck of Wis
consin , ox-Postrnastor General Dickinson of
Michigan , Hon. Snorman Hoar of Massachu
setts , Governor Winnns of Michigan , HOD.
John Dowltt Warner of Now York , anrt
Editor S. 1C. Morse of the Indianapolis Sou-
tlnol.
The first great outburst of applause came
at a fervid rcforonco to Gioycr Cleveland
near tbo end of the address by the first
poakor , Hon. W. C. Kwmg of Chicago , who
wound up his remarks with an exultant
poetic outbreak to the effect that "Ton thou
sand tlmos 10,000 inoa shall numo htm
Cleveland. "
Don Dlcklimoii'ii Itomnrks.
When the wildly enthusiastic hurrah that
greeted this ebullition subsided , the bovvhis- '
korod but finely chUolcd prolllo of Don M.
Dickinson loomed Into view. Ho was at
once pointed out by tbo now exuberant Iri-
< | uols club men to ono another as ' Cirovor's
personal representative , you knowi" Mr.
.Dickinson bore himself with much dignity ,
and whether or not his spcoch was inspired
by the ox-president the lattor'a former cabi
net collcbguo seemed to feel the Importance
of the message ho was about to deliver. Ho
began by eulogizing the value of party dis
cipline and the necessity for yielding to the
decisions of tbo party's accredited represent
tatlvo la caucus.
When ( s-\ld hu ) a canons r o onvcntlon IIUB
chosen or nominated , I think Its chntco hhonld
liiixo the support of nil democrats. Including
tlmso who mny think that 11 mistake has been
inailo In the uliolce , wliethur the caucus or
convention bo national , state , county orwma.
Tint r caucus to command this loyalty must
bo a democratic caucus In tbo broadest HUIISC.
resting Its authority upon tlio masses. fnlrly
nnd seasonably Hiiniiiionril with full oppor
tunity for popular participation In Its deliber
ations nnd conclusions. Thcro must bo
no controlling trickery , no lorrorMnff to

rupttou ol.fraud , and no well grounded
doubt of u fair count , snfllclcnt to
Imp ilr cunllUcncc. Whether from elections or

titled to rosuoct or oliodlonco wli'ch ' la gained

Ono chief reason of the continued suprem

Cnnlhlonco of tlio I'cople.
The pcbulo have found him a bravo and able
j.irty leader. They know that ho has reu-
Icrod public services of surpassing Import-
Inco : that'he has arousudjtho American pco-
ilo to a .SDIISU of public ovlls too long toler-
otcd , to thy dKchatKu.of civic duties too lou {
icglected. and to the recognition of fniula-
ncntal pilnclples too loni ; k-nored. They
% now that he has raised the standard of pollt-
cnl conduct. They kuow that hn has achieved
iho hatred of every political trickster and
liuekster , ot every public jobber and
robber , of ov'ery man In all the
land who Is licensed by unjust
laws to prey upon the people's substance.
Thov know that ho has helped establish an
ideal as relates to politics und p irty manauo-
nient. I believe tlmt the quick and hourly
luspunsu of the American people to Mr. Cleve
land's appeals to their better Instincts shows
that thu Rreat heart of the body politic N
iountl , that wo are slowly but surely coming
Into u Letter atmosphere , and that , no p irty
policy can long prevail which hus not In It an
iionest purpose.

I know wo may bo reminded thit Mr

the Issue he hlmsolf hud raised. liut I rczurd
Unit defeat , after h'a c.indld announcement
oflilsconvlullonsupona v tal public question ,
us tno greatest victory of his life. Hut If
there are these who believe otherwise , I would
point them to thugrcat popular plurality re
ceived by Mr. Cleveland In 183d ; to the faftt
that ho lost the iilcctor.il votes of Now Vilrji
and Indiana and the presidency , only by fraud
and tieachcry ; to the overwhelming triumph
of his Ideas In the elections of 18UT. With thesis
facts before htm , who wou'd venture to write
the word "failure" opposite the uamo'fif
Cleveland ? And who. th it believes thu democratic
cratic- doctrine of taxation , would not rather
go Into history us the author'of the presiden

temperature of llhodo Islaud is at fever beat
tonight. Both parties profim grat conli-
dcnoo. Thcro have baan radios m ovary bull
available , and unlimited enthusiasm. The
democratic campaign roncuua its climax
today iu cx-Prosldent Cleveland's speech and
reception , . Mr. .Cloyoland was greeted on
his arrival with such a demonstration as
Provldouuu has .seldom given any public
min. Hul fan hour uoforo the tlmo his tram
was duo. the station and streets loading to
tbo opera bouse were crowded with thou
sands of people , 'and lha numbers did not
diminish , although the trala was'ovor an
hour lute. It was duo at 3:15 : , but
It was 4:20 : when the engine draw up
at tbo Sabln street crossing , below the
station , and Iho ox-preidout lfghtod
with ox-Sqorotnry of the Navy Whitney ,
Governor James E.Jampboll. ( of Ohio and
Congressman Oscar uapbam. t John A. Mo-
Call of .Now York and Me. Kvans of Phlla-
phla , friouda of ox-Governor Campbell , were
uUo of the pqrty , Tboy were unaolo thus to
csuapo the crowd , which closed t' und the
carriages which were driven on town and
shouted and cboarod for Cleveland. Tbo
party-was driven rapidly to tbo opera bouse
through a mass of people who blocKCd tbo
stronts and followed them.
Tbo opera bouso was packed shortly after
a o'clock , and all state candidates aud. almost
all thn loading democrats in the state were
on tbo Platform. Several short speeches
were made before ovi'resldont Cleveland ar
rived. Congressman William MoAdbo of
Now Jersey was apenklng when Mr. Cleve
land came in , and bis entrance was tbo sig-
iml for a burst'of enthusiastic ctiecrlng.
After silence had been secured Chairman
Franklin 1' , Uwou of tba domocratlc centrul
commlttoo introduced Hon. W1 \ UWard -
well of Bristol , candidate for governor , to
preside. Ho presented Mr. Cleveland as tbo
next president , and ngaln there was wild ap-
piuuso and waving of handlicrchlofs by the
lailloj iu tbo boxes.
M r. Cleveland' * Tariff Talk ,
Mr , Cleveland doroted his entire speech to
the quoHIou of tbu turllT. He did not refer
tq tbo silver issue. Ills speech was a de-
fcnso of the tariff policy ol the democratic
party in late years and ap appeal for its con
tinuance , iu tbo course of hti remarks ho
said ;
Those who believe In tariff reform for the
suhttantlulRooJ It will bring to the multitude
who are nuileeted when bellijli greed is Iu
the ascendancy thosu who ballovo that the
let'lllmate motive of our government Is to do
equal and oxaot juntlco U > all our people , unil
era nt oxpvtal | privijescH to none ; those who
believe that a uution bouwtlns that its founda
tion Is In honesty aud conscience cannot
uDord to discard moral sentiment , and those
who would EUVO our Institutions from the
undermining decay of sordldneas and sulllth-
ues4 oan hardly cxptuo thrniBulvos if they
fall tu join us in the crusade we have under
taken. Certainly our sincerity cannot bo
questioned.
in tuo buKiaulug of the struggle w were not
only bitterly oppo od by n xrca\ party of
tvowfdonomloi. but were ombarr.tH.sna by
hose In our own ranks who Imd Locotno In-
footed with the unwholesome nttnntphoroour
cnomioi had created. Wo hesitated not R , mo-
nont boldly to oneuiintor both. Vie unified
) ttr party , not by anv surrender to the half-
loaned anionn our mor.ibers. but by an hon
est aiipoal to demo ratio sentiment nnd con-
solcnio. Wo never lowered our sliindard. It
surely was not policy or expediency that In-
lucoil us definitely to carry the banner of
t irllT reform as wo wont forth to meet a well
irgaulzed and desperately determined army
n the disastrous HcM ot Isss. A tlmoorvliu
> r oxpcdlcnoy hunltng pirty would bardlr
tavo been found today lifter such crushing
lofoat undismayed , defiant and determined ,
Mtlll Hhouiing the old war cry , nnd upturns to
encounter ugaln , In the people's causes , our
exultant enemy ,
Still Championing the Cause ,
Wo had not long to wait. At the Waterloo
of IHH tariff reform hud its vindication ; and
irlirclplo und steadfast devotion to American
alrness anil good faith gloriously triumphed
over plausible.shifting and attempted popu-
ur ( leioption. Thu demociatlu party still
champions the catno which defeat could not
ndiioo It to surrender , ivlilch no success short
of complete- accomplishment ran tempt It tu
logluct. Its position has been from thu first
'ranklv unit fairly stated , ahd'no ono can
loncstly bo misled concerning It VTtf 'llivlto
ho strlotest gcrtitlnv uf our conduct. In deal-
ng wllh this subject und vvd insist tlfat our
cause bud been open , fair and consistent.
Mr. Cleveland spoke Half an hour iu a loud
and clear tone and was listened to with closd
attention , each paragraph bolnff greeted with
n round of applauso. His first reference to
tarff reform was the signal for a burst , of
cheers. Thcro was nnothor when referring
o the same subject ho said : "Wo huvo never
oworcd our standard , " and n volco shouted ,
"aud never will. " In the next tlvo nilnutos
HI was lutnrruptod again nnd ntruitv with
applniiso nnd cheering. Tbo nudloncc was
evidently thoroughly In nympalhv with the
snonker throUKhout bis dlscuision on the
tariff and the wit nnd snfciMm .which
appeared here and there mot in-
stunt and hearty response 111
aiiRhtor and chipping. Tno speakers
cotiiiliilsou of tarift reform with the com
mandments , called forth nppluuso ana chocrs
which lasted fully n mlnuto and was ro-
lowed again and again. Attliocloso of his
tpoochho was greeted with prolongot ) np-
ilntiso.
Kx-no\crnnr Campbell ol'Ohlo.-
Ex-Governor James B. .Campbell of Ohio ,
followed and opened by referring to the action
of republicans In seizing- the forgo halls in
L'rovtdonco and preventing the democrats
from using them. Ho then took up nud
answered the Now York newspaper criti
cisms of his recent spoocbos at Lincoln and
I'rovldonco. His blood boiled , bo continued ,
when h'o board the Ucmocratlo candidate for
lieutenant governor describe the out
rages upon the foreign * boru citizens ,
and ho denounced as infamous that form
of government founded on anything loss than
manhood government. Ho had said bo did
not see how a foreign born 6ltlzQn , or n poor
man , could vote the republican ticket in
llhodo Island , and , quoting from a paper ,
continued :
"This is the reply : There nro few ronlly
poor mon In lihodo Island. Thcro are in
the savings banks of the state ? 17 for eve y
man , woman and calld thoro. ' Some ot ybu
would bu glad to know in which particular
bank yours is. I never beard a republican
speaker address nn Irish atldlonco 'Without
shedding barrels of tears over tbo.oviclions
in Ireland , but I never hoard ouo matte tbo
true statement that there nro every year 'in
Now York clty moro evictions for rent than
In the whole Emerald islo. "
The speaker then road a description by
Mr. T. V. Powderly of tbo condition of labor
ers in tbo Connultsvillo coke region to show
there was not universal prosperity under
high tariff. "When my friend , Major Mc-
Klnloy , replies to mo at long rungo tonight I
want him to toll how many times Carnegie ,
1'hilpps &Co. wont into their pockets to
contribute to mv defeat , and wbother that
money was not taken out of their men.
Today's papers sav Carnegie is ready for an
other sliding scale. Ho must have bccu con
tributing to this election , " -
Ho spoke of tbo closing of the oatmeal mill
at Knvonna , O. , as the result of a trust
fostered by the McKinley bill , and said ho
bad prophesied it five months ago. His
closing point was with rofcronco to the
effect of an Increase In tariff upon wages and
ho argued to show that tba tariff had not
onlv not increased wages , but'bad reduced
them. .r.tt. '

demonstration.- witty manner took with
the audience and he was several times inter
