Hon. VIM. b. Allison's Speech.

Last evening Senator Allison was
greeted at Lewis Opera House in
this city with a good audience, the
large Hall being very well filled. 1t
was very warm close night and in
consequence was uncomfortable for
both speaker and hearers. The Sem
ator. however, rallied from the de-
pressing effects of the hest and made
o most mastery and convincing speech
deyoting most of it to the finances.
The Senator is in every sense of the
word % much Of mastaf- ~ this Diff
icult subject as any man 10 the great
Northwest. His Congressional career
Of some sixteen years in which he de-
voted himself largely to government
finances, makes of him q walking en-
cyclopedia Of the action of the gov
eminent during all the trying times
of the rebellion and since then. His
actual experience and long study Of
the subject has given to him better
digested financial ideas than any 9TH
er man not thus favored can possibly
have, and it does seem to us that the
clear and forcible argument he made
last night is thoroughly and complete.
