finest political addresses to which the
people If Ken osha have ever Seen.priViieged
to listen. Mr.. Allen commenced by saying
that he was q tanner by trade and usually
tanned the hides of beef cattle, but when
the exigencies of the case demanded it he
endeayored to tan the hides of Democrats.
He said farther, that he never had held
nolitical Office, never had been candidate:
never expected to hold political office nor
TO be q candidate. He looked at the Issues
before the country from the standpoint Of
business man. The early history OF our own
State, under Democratic administration was
briefly reviewed. The facts Of fraud and
malfeasanee in Office had gone down into
history. Even the school-fund was not too
sacred TO bepurloined by the''forty thieves :
and almost entirely disappeared under their
manipulation. Then the Republicans came
into power and the most careful inyestlga
tions of the present Democratic treasurer OF
the State, an able accountan, fail to show
that the first cent was ever stolen by the
Republicans. This is something Of which
the State and the party may we'll feel proud
other State in the Union. The frauds
pertrated by the Democratic authorities in
the city OF Milwaukee, even to the burning
of the records, were shown in their true
colors-
A parallel was also drawn between the
Democratic city of New York with its i'm
mense debt and high taxation, and the
Republican city of Boston. It must be
confessed that this picture is not very conipli,
mentary to Democratic rule.
The speaker said that the cry had been
raised and was constantly urged that
Grants administration had been very corrupt
and chat large amounts had been stolen from
the treasury, while the fact was that during
the last sixteen years Of Republican rule the
government had only lost ffty-seven cents
on every thousand dollars. During Buchan-
ans administration the loss was five dollars
and during Van Buren's eleven
dollars and

VIM. NJ. Tweed, after conviction OF maj cas-
ance and theft, was elected as State Senator
but his own sense of proDriety would not
allow him to accept the Office. The whole
history of the party shows conclusiYely its
corruption.
The financial problem also was treated IN
a very able and thoroughs manner, and the
stand Of the two parties on this ailim portant
question briefly referred to-
The whole address is acknowledged By
both Republicans and Democrats to have
been al mastery effort an1 one which must
influence votes.

Hon. MATT. H. CARPENTER addressed the
largest IN Getting in Kenosha during the cam
pagn, at Simmons Hall, last Saturday eve
ming. The enlivening music of the National
Band inspired by the occasion was not
necessary to draw the people. Before the
time of meeting the Hall was crowded by
ladies and gentlemen. The meeting was
called TO order by Fl. B. Hinsdale. President
of the Hayes and Wheeler Club, who, in few
fit words, announced that Mr.. Carpenter
would address the meeting.
Mr.. Carpenter was received with enthus-
iastic applause. He spoke for nearly an
hour principally on the difference between
the doctrine of state Rights and tnat of
Nationalily-the difference between those
who hold that the Union of the States is q
confederation. or compact, which the States
may break, or snap asuuGer, at their Pleas
ure, and those VINO hold thatit is a nation
atty which the States cannot break Il. d

that they were patriots engaged III their

was logical from beginning to end, and show
ed that Tilden was State Rights man, a
believer in the right Of secession and oppos-
ed to coersion, and il elected President would
necessarily have to be under the control Of
the Solid South and carr" out the doctrine oil
States Rights and secession. And whoever
of the North were IN favor ofthose doctrines
though wrong would be justified in voting
for Tilden. aud whoever was opposed to
them would consequently vote for Hayes, as
he was opposed to them and in favor Of the
nationality and perpetuity Of our country
