He closed his address triumphantly and grandly,
by showing the ills brought upon our commonwealth
of PENNSYLVANIA by Democratic misrue. He
cribed to State Senator Connel the credit for many
of the figures that he ANNOUNCED and then in glow
ing contrast set forth from official documents this:
That seven years of Radical misrule in Pennsylva-
mia, has -.
Paid war expenses, 6,50O,O00 90
~ Total, s17,O2I,932 50
And that it is appropratng $500 900 to the mante-
nance and education Of the orphans of soldiers and
sailors who died in defence of the country.
The applause that greeted Judge Kelley as he
authoritatively gave the statistics was something
even exceeding the vociferous in its demonstra-
tiveness He concluded by an exhortaton to his
auditors to continue steadfast to the good cause
OF the election of the Republican ticket in Penn
sylvania he had no more doubt than he had doubt,
before it took place, OF the election In Maine.
Judge Kelley spoke for an hour am, and haf' and
John Quincy Adams at the Academy OF
Music.
The Academy of Music was filed in every
portion with ladies and gentlemen lasr evening,
to hear an address by the Hon. John Quincy
Adams, of Massachusetts. Hon. William A.
Porter presided over the meeting,
Mr. Adams, upon being introduced, was re-
ceived with long continued applause. He said
that the Democrats of Massachusetts were not
accustomed to such audiences. When he goes
to speak in Massachusetts, he would be satisfied
with such an audience as would about I'LL the
parquet. He considered this campaign as the
most important-the most vital ever presented.
The Republican party Is on trial. They have
been In Office for the past eight years, aud now
they come forward TO demand a lease of four
yeats more. Have that party been prudent, wise,
and humane ia the measures which they
have adopted? These are the questions to
be considered. The Republicans have spent
an enormous amount OF money. How have
they spent the money? They have taken from
US about sixteen hundred millions of dollars by
taxation. How are the bonds nov? thousand
dollar bond sells for $780, Ho are their pro-
missory notes, their promises TO pay? They are
hawked about the streets at discount OF 80
per cent. II merchant had his notes hawked
about at so per cent, what account would he
demand OF his agentf Tue expenses of the
Government have been fifteen hundred and
sixty-eight million dollars during the past three
years. The taxation in 1850 was So so per head.
In 1860 it was $780, aud now 1t is $2l'l3 per
eead. The taxation in England is $l0'37 per
head. II this is radical economy, let US take
turn at Democratic rule. (Applause.) What
becomes of all this money which is taken from
your How much has the public debt been
reducedY The expenses OF the past three
years of the most profound peace, for the mill
tary and naval establishment have been
$676 000, 900. How much longer is this state of
things going to lastY Tue Democratic party are
called repudiators because, as is charged they
are In favor OF paying the bonds in green packs.
Admitting that they are SO, who made them so (?
Who made the laws which are so doubtful In
regard to the payment ef the bonds? Who cou-
tinued those laws and Issued the promssory
notes ? The Republicans have had charge Of
the Government tor the past eight years. The
Democrats have had no say. Now, why all this
ery Of repudiauop A great many Republicans
are in favor OF paying the bonds IN greenbacks,
while great many Democrats are In favor OF
paving them In gold. There is man in Massa-
chusetts, and his name Is Butler daughter and
hissee). He went 10 Congress, aud said that this
debt must be paid In greenbscks' he wanted
