WIG CANDIDATES IN HINT.
The candidates on the Wing State
Ticket, addressed the voters of Kent at
Chestertown. on the Goth inst. THE
Kent .Neus, gives the following notice
OF the meeting:
The discussion was commenced by
Hon. r. J. Bowie our distinguished can
didate fol Governor, who occupied the
attention Of the audience in most
powerful and eloquent speech ofan hour
and quarter, ably eXpounding the
measures Of the National Wing party.
Mr.. BIS agumpnt IN defence Of the poll
cy of River and Harbor improvements,
as not only constitutional but absolutely
necessary to the maintenance OF the
commerce of the country, was most con-
vincing and could not fail to elicit the
appreciation and concurrence OF every
one who heard him. While in Congress
Mr.. Bowie was the firm and constant
friend ofthis policy, while his opponent
Mr.. Lyon, was invariable found voting
in the negative, and this notwithstand-
ing his proximity to the large and
growing commercial city OF Baltimore,
which is so much interested IN the adop-
ton of a policy by which her harbor
should be rendered safe and commodi-
ous.-The justice OF an equal division
Of the Public Lands among the States
was also most clearly demonstrated by
Mr.. B. in opposition 20 their reckless
and extravagant wastes among the new
states OF the West for mere political
purposes by which the other party have
been distinguished.
Mr.. b. also referred to the divisions in
the democratic party, the appointment
of Free.soilers and SecessionlSts to the
most responsible places of the govern
ment, and gross classification of the
pledges under hich Gen. Pierce, as the
peculiar champion of the Constitution
and the rights of the South, was ele-
waited to the presidency, and the infam-
Gus manifesto of the Secretary OF the
Treasury, (acting as the organ of the
Administration addressed to Collecto:
Bronson, ,nstrucing him against his
own honest instincts to make an equal
division or the public offices, tor the
benefit Of the free-sol wing of the par
ty, an edict alike tyrannical, unprinci.
pied and contemplate, aud which must
excite the bitter indignation of every
patriotic American citizen, without res
pect to party. Mr.. Bowie's speech made
a deep impression and will beget an IN
wonted enthusiasm among the Wings of
Kent, the effects of which must be APP
parent on the End Of November. He is
. graceful commanding speaker, with a
face of remarkable intelligence and am
liability and will make friends wher-
ever he may go.
Mr.. Bowie was followed by DR.. J.
Hanson Thomas, our candidate for
Comptroller, who commanded the UNI
divided attention of his audience for
nearly an hour, in speech of arka-
BILE force and ability. DR., L. discussed
and analysed most thoroughly the Vir-
ginia and Kentucky multiplying resolu-
tons of 1898 and 1893, showing their
radical and destructive tendency and
their advocacy by the most distinguished
members Of the present democratic par
tv. We have not time to give a ust
epitome of DR.. Thomas speech, Or to
alIude to all the topics discussed by him
this speech was most able exposition
of our principles, and he proved himself
a truly effective champion OF the Wing
cause.
DR.. Thomas was succeeded by Mr..
Ricaud in one Of his best speeches,
speech alike able and eloquent present
ing the claims of the Wing party to
public appreciation and support, exhibit
ing the inconsistencies and short comings
of the Administration in tone ofwith- |
ering sarcasm and indignation. Mr.
