was elected to Office, and now, after six
years of his direction, the expenses of the
city, instead of going up three millions
and half, have lessened even more, taxes
have been reduced, and there is to-day $780,
900 in the treasury ready to meet all honest
demands. They say that this is merely
good book keeping say that it is good
housekeeping. Six years ago there was
| IN every department of Philadelphia pecu-
| latlon and everywrOng Imaginable was com

| deeds has been re!eutlessly made. As au
instance Of this the speaker cited the aims
house, and the sIealings and escape of MIR.
Phipps, who, he said, after taking articles
OF every value, stole the roof oft the aims
house, and had actually been getting ready
to steal the cellar, too. Laughter You

your duty, the prisons will be crowded
with Major Phippses. [ A voice They'll
get the toOthache. Mr.. Hensel then
spoke of the efforts of the bosses to perpet-
uate thoir power, and demonstrated how
inconsistent Gen. Beaver is in his utter.
ances and actions.
| The Republican candidate for governor
has gone all over the state, he has attend
ed political meetings and church fairs, has
shown himself in Sunday schools and
county fairs {; in short, he has been an in
defatigable traveller, and yet VIC have the
first time to hear of him supporting any
portion of the Republican platform.
In severe terms MIR. Hensel ar.
raigned tho inconsistency of General
Beaver and the evils committed by the
bosses, and said, nowhere, 1T any time

voice to redeem the pledges he made at
the outset of tho present campaign. And
though he was justly honr,ca for losing 4
leg in the war, il woud have been far better
If he wouid not have lost his honor in
Chicago. Mr.. Hensel then spoke of the
part the Democrats had taken in the war
Of the rebellion, showed how unjust was
the assertion made by Republicans that
they alone saved tho nation, and said that
when in that great time of danger people
did not stand on tho corner as soldiers
filed past and pointing with finger OF
scOrn. say "that fellow is = coppcrhead,' y
No you did not hear it then, and you
should not hear it now.
Fright Prospects.
The people Of this state have long s,,f-
fcred the ills Of bad government, and they
| want . governor who will not take his
| orders from the bosses. The bosses have
heretofore controlling the elections Of this
state, but this year 400, 900 Democrats
and 10000 Independent Republican ar G
going to have something to say about
them. The speaker then showed how in
significant was the capital made out of the
| charges against Mr.. PattisOn Of being
young, Of having been born, without his
cOnnivance, outside tho state, and of hav-
ing no executive ability. lilo character
lied any change, made no matter by
| whom, against the charactac and actions
Of the gentlemen on the Democratic ticket
rs wholly false and vindictive. tIr Hcnsel
| then closed his speech, which at frequent
| intervals was punctuated with great ap-
p!auSe, by assuring the Democracy that
| the prospects for SUCCESS were most cn
| courlging, urged tho Democrats Of Ian
caster county and city to turn ont in force
| on election day, and asserted that it is
| only 4 question of Democratic majority,

kar, CarrIgan speaks.
The tirial speech of the evening Was
made by G. NJ. Carrigan, esI., Of Piila-
delphia. He said !: never pass by Ian
caster Or come within its corporate limits
without lifting my hat almost involunta-
riiy in memory of tho iltussrious dead who
lie buried here. 1t gives Inc great pleas
urc to meet tho gallant Democracy OF this
i city, for no Democrats are more worthy
of the name than those who reside in mi
nority counties This magnificent recep
tiOn is but repetition of what las been
going on from one end of the state to tho
other. The people are arising in their
might to dctilrono tho bosses who have so
long fattened on their ill-gotten spoils. We
need have no fears that the man who has
regencratcd Philadelphia will not be equal
to the task of saving the honor Of our
grand old state. know not by what
tricks the opposition are claiming their
candidates success, unless it be in the way
in which committee reported the wash
| ing away Of = mill in i Connecticut town.
The committee reported that they had
found tho dam by the mill site, but no.
tho mill by d-l sight, And so it will
] be with General Beaver when hc wakes
up OH the morning Of the Sth of NOven-
Der.
The people of Pennsylvania arc deter
mined to drive tho bosses from the
temples Of power. From every portion of
the state our candidate has been given
! God-speed. The remarkable enthusiasm
with which he has been received recalls
tho days when Jackson was president, and
Simon Sny,Ier, the Democratic governor of
Pennsy lvamia. AL is we'll with tho Dcmc-
| cratic party, not SO, however, with our
Republican friends. They already see the
handwriting on the wall, and like BEL
shazzar they have neglected repeated
warnings until it is now too late. Richard
% II,
| to fight the Crusade5, had no more patent
talIsman than that which Robert f. Pat
tisOn now possesses in his fight for the
cause of the people. He will give us
| what We have been long denied-an equal
aud exact execution OF tho laws of the
| cOmmonw calth.
Ohio has already spoken and Indiana
! will soon be heard in thunder tones an
swering her sister state. The Empire
| state, that peerless champion Of Democratic
reform, with her millions Of population,
| is also with us. And tho grand old COM
sacred by the adoption Of the Declaration
| tiOn within her borders, will not be found
wanting. The people will. on the Eth Of
November next, plant the standard of
reform on tho citadel Of the state, aud
carry into the gubernatOrial chair the
young man whom VIC have brought from
Philadelphia.
At the termination Of Mr.. Carrisan' s
remarks the meeting broke up with
| tumultous cheers for Pattison aud the
whole ticket. Subsequently there was 4
| reception ut the Hester house, which was
tho headquarters of tho party, and to
which the people fiocked by hun drcds
