Governor Allen made his first speech
i'll Pennsylvania on Monday last, al
Pittsburg. A dispatch estimates the
attendance at nearly twenty thousand,
principally composed of the working
men to whom the Governor directed
the principal part of his speech. AT
ter reviewing and explaining the right
of suffrage, and showing the supreme
Importance of every man voting ac-
cording to his own judgment. Mr.
Allen showed the necessity in this re.
nublic of a representative power OF
government, and dwelt at some length
on the care which should be used in
the election of representatives He
then spoke of the war taxes were lifted,
and showed how fraud had crept in
among office holders, and severely
criticised the administration. Mr..
Allen said:
This Government, for many years,
has been run solely for the benefit of
the rich, and solely to the crushing
out of the liberty and life of the many.
lCheers. Ii is that which has brought
these vast multitudes together. IL is
the consequences of that fact which
caused $4,000 Democrats to cry out,
by the ballot, for the relief of the poor
from the ruin to which they had been
consigned--I mean In Ohio. Eighty
two thousand more men cast the DEM
ocratic ballot on the second Tuesday
ofOctober than they did two years be-
fore for the same can lidates Cheers. ]
Why? Because everybody felt then,
except few bankers and few
oflice-holders, and no few either
laughterl and few defaulters.
No few of them either. Re-
newed laughter. Everybody felt then
that there was something wrong; that
in a country of such tremendous en-
ergies among its people, with soil so
fertile, and with bosom teeming with
the richest minerals in the world; that
in this state of things want would be
impossible in the case of the poor la
boring man if his wages were what
they ought to be. Cheers. Every
farmer felt that the government was
taking too large part of his corn, his
wheat, his horses, his hogs, everything
that his farm produced, and leaving
him at the end of the year with very
little more than little bacon and corn
meal. They came up and manifested
their sense of their condition by the
sufferings which each one told to his
neighbor, including the manufacturing
regions of the State"
Mr.. Allen then referred to the result
of the Ohio, and claimed that the de-
feat Of the Democratic party was due
partly to the large sums of money
brought into the State two weeks be-
fore the election, and used for corrup-
tion and bribery, and partly to the il
legal colonization of voters by the
Republican party. On the currency
question he said that the promise of
better times made by the dominant
party was simply political device to
catch votes, and said that a contrac-
ton of currency virtually meanta con-
traction of the working mans stom-
ach. He was frequently interrupted
during the address by cheers and
laughter.
The Governor had invitations and
intended speaking ut other points in
Western Pennsylvania, but was re-
called to Colum bus, his presence being
required by official business. General
Carey is to continue the canvass in
his stead.
