HON. ALEX. MEGGETT,

LIBERAL Republicans, Democrats. and ev-
erybody else, concede that the speech of
this gentleman last Friday night, was good
one. 1t was quite lengthy, and in it he
showed up, to the entire satisfaction of the
Republican portion of his audience, the ride
ulous position of Mr.. Greeley, and the incon-
sistency of Democrats in giving him their
support. He invited any Democrat in the
audience who supported Greeley from prin-
ciple to stand up and say so, and although
there. were a good many present, not one
stood up. Only a few hours notice o: this
meeting was given, yet there was a very
good attendance. The meeting was a decds
ed success, and Mr.. Meggetts speech will
have an influence.

"The countyis full of men who support
GreeleyP' This was the cry ola half dozen
Greeley men, not many weeks ago. But as
time has passed. and the people have investi-
gated the field, our friends have become less
enthusiastic, tkeir cries are seldom heard,
their faces have become remarkably elongat-
ed, and the people have generally decided for
Grant and Wilson. This is q fact. The Gin
cinnati nomination from the beginning was a
farce. The comedian has played clumsy
part, and the people are scouting him from
the political stage.
The citizens ofSomers, to the number of
about eco, assembled in the Town Hall last
Saturday night to hear the speeches of Hon.
o. S Head and Col. s Lowell Long be-
fore the time for opening the meeting, the hall
was crowded, and when the speakers appear
ed on the platform there was not standing
room left unoccupied. The Campaign Glee
Club was there and furnished some excellent
music. The speech of Hon. 0 S. Head was
well received from beginning to end. It was
an able, argumentative effort, with no abuse
of any one, and without the too common ref
erence to all the small nonsense that has
characterized so many speeches in this cam
paign. Mr.. Head was frequently interrupted
by the applause of his audience, who felt that
he uttered the truth. Mr. F. S. Lowell fol
lowed in an interesting comparison of the
| two parties. showing the necessity Of the re-
election of President Grant, to insure our
present peace and prosperity.
Our friends in Som ers greatly enjoyed this
meeting. They are in earnest in the cam
paign, and will do big things for themsel yes,
for the county ticket, and for the nation
next Tuesday.

REVIEW OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In accordance with an old time practice.
the Fire Department turned out last Tuesday
for the Annual Review. For many wears
past there has not been as much interest ex-
hibited by firemen and citizens generally in
the Department. Every company did it's
level best to make the review q Success, and
we May say that it was decided success
compared with former years. Our sister city
contributed very largely to the interest of
the occasion by serding her steam engine
"Raclne," which did some good work during
the day. All the companies formed line on
Market Square, and after on inspection by
the Common Council, the column marched
through Main Street in the following ORDER
Kenosha Silver Cornet Band,
Steam Fire Engine Racine
Hook and Ladder Company,
Engine Company, No.2,
Park City Hose Company, No Q,
Eagle Hose Company, No, l.
Engine Company, No. l.
Having marched as far as the Park the pro-
cession returned to the Square, where the en-
p IL.
No. 2 making the first stream Their hose
broke two or three times, misfortune which
gave Park City Hose Company an opportu-
nifty to show how lively they could change
hose. This Company made a fine appearance
in new uniform, which was admired by all.
The steam engine ."Racine" threw splendid
stream of wate- and our hand engines did
very well. They had two trials, No. on the
first trial throwing the beststream but on
the second she was badly beaten by No. l.
The engine of Company No. I has always
been the best, and is still so regarded. The
firemen partook of bountiful supper at
Simmons Hall, and this closed the Annual
Review for this year. We think our citizens
may expect 81 still better turn out next year
and have no fear that they will be dlsappoint

Republicans of Kenosha, The main fight
is given up by the Democrats. They are
working simply for the local candidates.
Now, what reason is there that they should
succeed in this work any more than in the
other. You desire the success of the Repub-
lican party? Youibeiieve III the principles of
that party? Then put aside all petty per-
sonal differences and pitch in for the Repub-
lican County ticket. Remember, every one
ofyou, that the election is won only by
the choice of good Legislators and County
officers as well as a good President.

English Representation.

Now thai the English have secured the vote
by ballot, the question of redistribution of
seals In Parliament urges Itself on public at.
tention. The establishment OF electoral dis
tricts which should remedy the inequalities of
representation which have always existed in
England, was one Of the famous 1ne points
for which The Charlists contended In 1880,
and a recti6catIon of the evils attending The
present system has long been insisted on by
all friends of progress and reform. Although
by the reform bill of 1882 some OF the most no.
torious rotten boroughs of England were dis
franchised, while the rest were restricted 10
one member Instead of two, and number of
important cities had members given to them,
the government was unequal 10 the task OF OPP
porloning the representation TO the popula
tion, and the present distribution of seats
does not by any means afford fair represen-
tation of the people. Cities with three hun
dred thousand population, like Manchester
and Liverpool, have but two representatives,
while Bath and Brighton, with only fifty thou
sand population each, have an equal number.
Tne district OF Tower Hamlets, In London,
with four hundred Thousand population, has
but one more representative in Parliament
than on obscure country village. In the re-
cent debates on the ballot bill lt was assumed
that the question of proportional representa-
tatIon is only one OF Time, and Mr.. Gladstone
has admitted that such change must be con-
ceded In the near future.

The Color.d People OF Washington and

the Washington Republican came out with

Leading and most intelligent colored men in
Washington addressed letter to the he'
pu6ltcan, avowing their purpose to respect
and act upon Mr.. Summers opinion. The
Republican,, thinking it had bagged the
whole Sumner y, made light OF the
eleven, defied the production OF another
name, and promised to publish the names OF
ALL who we're bold enough to profess them
selves for Sumner. Although there was m
implied threat in the tone OF the Republican,
Africa was not scared, and next morning,
card signed by another eleven was forth

The Romance of the Telegraph.

Mr.. Frank Ives Scudamore, the superintend-
ent of the Government Te.egraphs In Great
Britain, In his recent report, becomes quite
romantic in his description of the success of
the system of employing male and female
operators Mr.. Scudamore, after showing how
much the tone OF the men has been raised by
the association, and how well the women per-
form the checking or fault-fndlng branches of
the work, goes on 10 speak of friendships
formed between clerks at either end of tele-
graphic wire. They begin by chatting in the
intervals of their work, and very soon become
fast friends. 1T is. q lact," continues, Mr..
Scudamore, "that' a telegraph clerk of Lon
s'don, who was engaged on wire to Berlin,
"formed an acquaintance with and an attach
"ment for female clerk who worked on the
"same wire In Berlin, that he made proposal
"of Marriage Aher, and that she accepted
"hlmnr!thSdt having seen him. They were
"marriA and The marriage resulting from
.'their eis2rlc affinIlieo is supposed taaave
s.turnedS Ont as well as @osesin which the
sssenees are more apparently concerned"
These you6g ;olerks. however, were hotdery
rash nor did they marry without due acquaInt-
auce with each other, as msny prudent per-
sons might suppose, for, according 10 Mr.
seudsmore,, clerk at one end Of wire can
readily te1 y ytRe way in which the. clerk at
the other end. does his work, "whether he
.is passionate Or sulky, cheerful or dull, san
Equine or phil S0patlc, ill.natured or good.
