Great cheering.
After the band had played another piece
there were cries for Gen. Keifer, who stepped
forward and made good speech. lie was
followed by Judge John O. Miller, Hon. Geo
q. Rawlus and J. Harry Rabbits, who all
made ringing speeches, after which the meet
ing adjourned.
The evening meeting was one OF the finest
ever held in Springfield. The great wigwam
was literally packed with more people than II
would comfortably hold, and hundreds wen,
away unable to get in. More than that, the
audience comprised the best citizens. Ladies
occupied the stage, and were interested list
eners to the speeches. The Big Six band
furnished instrumental music. while the
Urbaua Glee club, "A most creditable organizs-
tion, under the leadership of G. W. Clark, de-
lighted the audience with appropriate cam
paigu songs.
When Gen. Kennedy appeared upon the
stage, he was greeted with au nprosr OF
cheers. The band played apd the Glee club
sang three pieces, which were loudly ap-
pauded. Chairman John W. Parsons an
nounced "a the chairman of the meeting. Mr..
William n Whitley. That gentleman stepped
forward and made one OF his characters site
little speeches, winding up by introducing
Gen. Robert p. Kennedy, who was received
with great applause, and spoke for two hours,
holding his magoiicent audience throughout
by his eloquent and able treatment of the
topics ot the campaign. He contrasted
the manner in which the republican
party had turned over the government to the
democratic party 10 1885, with the manner in
which it was received by them from the dem
ocrats in 1861; showing that although the
election Of Lincoln WAS the fair expression OF
the popular will, while that OF Cleveland was
the result of fraud and violence, there was
enough patriotism in the republican party to
induce peaceable scquiesceuce in the apparent
result OF the election, while Lincoln's acces.
sion to the government was followed by a
great rebellion.
The speaker showed plainly by the stats.
tics the well known tact that the colored vote
in the south is suppressed, and that
while there was cast, for member
OF congress in this district in
1884, 3l,G72 votes, there was cast the same
year, in the first congressional district OF
South Carolina but ll,72O votes; in the
third district OF the same state bus II, GOT {;
in the second district OF Georgia but 1927
votes; in the fourth district of Georgia but
1922 votes, and in the fifth district but 7,ll7
votes, and 80 on throughout the south. He
alluded to the Mullen methods 10 Cincinnati
of accomplishing the same ends, saying that
the Mullen crowd were much more humane,
as instead OF killing the colored men, as is
done in the south, Mullen but locked them up
until the election was over. He held
Gov. Hoadly responsible for Mulen's
conduct, because he had been willing TO
profit by ii, and because he had pettioned for
Mullen's pardon and nsd him again placed on
the police force in Cincinnati, Mullen re-
warding him by attending the democratic
state convention rs a delegate aud casting his
vote for Hoadly for governor. The speaker
dwet with prize upon the magnificent, record
OF the republican party during its twenty five
years OF rule, and upon the progress OF the
country during that time, and challenged not
only the istory OF previous American admin
istrations, but the political history of the
world to produce n more creditsble or more
honest aud caleiul administration of the af-
fairs OF the state. He alluded to the position
taken by the republican party upon the
liquor question rs the only practical one
taken by any OF the three parties before the
people OF Ohio, showing clearly that neither
license nor prohibition could be had under
the constitution. Gen. Kennedy then passed
to discussion of the persecution by the sd-
ministrstiou, Of old John Roach, whereby
.s..., Ii
ing down the business OF the en-
ergetic old lrishman, simply be-
cause be was republican, throwing
25O0 men out Of employment, and giving a
permanent set back to the great and growin.,
Industry Of ship-building. He then entered
upon short discussion of the tariff question,
showing that instead of consumers being
compelled to pay a premium to home labor,
as democratic Iree-traders contend, the prices
OF protected articles are greatly less than they
were before the tariff was put on, instanciug
that connection the item Of steel rails, which
had declined in price from 81 80 to $3.50,
since the Introduction Of the tariff,
aud the item OF Calico which
sold for 31i cents per yard in democratic tree
trade days, whereas the same quality OF goods
can now be purchased for 3 cents per yard.
He urged republicans to prepare tor the great
contest of 1883, which is to restore the re.
publican party to the power OF which it is de-
prived by fraud and terrorism in the s)ulh, by
eecting the republican ticket this year, and
closed with AN eloquent appeal to young men
to seek out that party from among all, which
best represents morality, good government,
free speech, pure ballot, and equal rights to
all.

glee club sang

Judge William II. West, the famous blind
orator OF Belleiontane who occupied seat
on the platform, was then loudly called for
and in response made one of his inmitable
speeches, after which the meeting adjourned
A Parlor Match.
The audience at Blacks last night was fair
in size and highly apprecia,iye, and the rem
dtion of this popular play by popular COM
pany was well and ably sustained in all It's
parts. The many strong points in the act
ing were highly creditsble to the able genius
of the play, and the efficiency of the actors
who presented it to Springfield audience
last night. The company will always re.
ceive warm welcome in this city.
