tic and prolonged cheers. He reminded
Gen. Dodge of some homely truths, which
we hope will do that gentleman good. He
reminded him that self praise was no evil
dence of either ability or merit; that it
would be quite as modest, and perhaps as
profitable to let others proclaim ones good
qualities he reminded him that plantation
manners were out of place, and not alarm
ing, ridiculous rather, in this part of the
world /; he Reproduced and rcproved him for
the arrogant and shameful manner in which
he had misrepresented the principles and
motives, and abused the members, Of the
Republican Party he vindicated the digni-
ty of labor, and the nobility of laborors; he
alluded to the newborn love for Henry
Clay on the part of those men who vilitied
and traduccd him when alive, who, in one
breath Landed to The skies the author of the
Missouri Compromise, while with the next
they denounced that measure as unconstitu-
tional and Infamous to show the miserable
farce and humbuggcry of popular sovereign
ty and the origin and authors of slavery ag-
itation, he produced the first Nebraska bill
introduced by Dodge Of Iowa in '53, which
recognised fully the power of Congress to
legislate for the Territories, and did not re-
peal the Missouri Compromise, on the
strength of which he charged Dodge as THE
man, one of the chief of the agitators, upon
whom, if upon any mortal man, rested
the responsibility of the peresent agitation
and alienation of one portion ofthe American
family from another: and then he treated
of Disurion, the Homestead, and other ques-
tons involved in the canvass, and vindca-
ting triumphantly the Republican party
from all charges made against it and carried
the war into Africa, in manner both anu
sing and perfectly conclusive.
Such is a brief and very imperfect sketch
of some Of the topics of the admirable and
truly eloquent speech of Hon. S. J. Kirk
wood, Republican candidate for Governor,
delivered in this place on Saturday evening
last to large number Of his approaching
and delighted political friends 1t can hard
~ be necessary to add that this address and
interview have won for Mr.. Kirkwood a very
large place in the regards and admiration of
the Republicans of this County, as one of
the ablest men and speakers in the State
They are proud of him and will contribute
their best eyertons to place him in. the seat
for which he is so well qualified, and will fill
to which he is virtually elected at this pres
ent writing.

FAIRBANKS STANDARD ScALEs-It is no
small and unlneaning term to supply to the
Fairbanks Scales the term ''Standarl," since
they have well earned and won it through
the Messrs. Fairbanks thirty years Of expo
rience in scale manufacture A standard
they are to the manufacture, as all can at
est, who have been brought into communi-
cation with rival scale makers and vendors.
"As good as Fairbanks" 'just the same as
Fairbanks" precisely what the Fairbanks
claim" are phrases familiar to many ears, as
our readers will bear us witness. 10 be
thus referred to by your rivals is no small
praise. Elimination is the sinccrcst flatte-
ry," and we make the application not invid,
iously, but only so far as the makers of 9th,
er scales may choose to render it of force by
their own assertions.
There is fuller and more wide signi-
canoe in the term "Standard" when it goes
out into the world of byers and sellers, and
see how implicitly the ''weigh' of the Fair
banks scale is accepted as the "weigh of
truth" and accuracy. The farmer who
weighs his beeves or his produce on his
Fairbanks scale at home accepts never, nm
contested, any corrections in his figures
from warehouse men and city dealers who
may use other scales, and if the contestants
fail to agree, away they go to Fairbanks
scales to set the matter right Chicago

The Democratic papers are exceedingly
troubled because Kirkwood was once Dem

that horrible fact are willing to vote for him

Expenditures exelu-

The Secretary Of The Treasury in his last annual
port SAYS, 'The expenditures during the fiscal year
ending June 3d. 1885, $S1 5s5, G67 &C. (see page
Finance Report) Also, "The expenditures Of the
first quarter of the current fiscal year, ending Sept.
81, 1853, were $21 los 19S 81 the estimated eXpend-
itures during the remaining three quarters TO June
81, 1882 1851 69S IS, making in ALL actual and
estimated for the present wear, ia OG5 500 &c. But
he proceeds to say, ITO this estimate should be added
the Of g. SIS 72S co. required for the service If
the Post Office Department.; during the present fiscal
year." This increases the actual and estimated ex-
penses for the current ending June 30 1852 to
S77 904 ga 80: other deficiencies will have arisen
growing out Of new legislation, which the departments
could not have anticipated to the amount of 81 900
900 or s3oOo00O; hence the aggregate for the year
viii probably exceed Ss0, OO0,d00. !.
The estimate OF appropriations and expenses for
the fiscal year commencing July l. 1852 and ending
June 3d. 1860, amount to *73,27,947 49, This includes
0S2 300, for deficiencies in the Post Office Depart
ment. But the Post Office Bill which passed the House
of Representatives, appropriated $50 495 I9S In adj
dtion to 100000 under stand-g law. This in
creased Ia he Senate .wo three millions. But In
consequence of the nhexiblo determination of Demo-
cratic members to increase the rates OF postage on let
tiers and newspapers and AS stern OF position to
this increase by the Republican members of Congress,
the bill failed to become law. Yet II furnishes in
conference.-the evidence of the amount thought to he
necessary for that service by Democratic Post Mas
ter General and Democratic Congress But the
Post Master General estimated the gross revenues of
the department for the year ending June 80 $780, at
about eight millions add this to tire standing appro-
priation Of seven hundred thousand per annrm and
the deficiency included in the Post Office Bill, of So
$4,000, and subtract the aggregate from the gross
amount and 1t leaves an additional deficiency of 20,
112SSS, to he added the Secrearys estimates ma
king in all for tina, year. the Of $40 $50 S5 &C.
This will be incre sed, probably, as before explained
! to over SS9 ,000,0G0
This result is reached as certainly by other data
