No man in the Commonwealth is more

extensive acquaintance all over the State.
In all bis private relations, and in the dis

ed high character for probity and hon,
or. In head and heart, in temperament
and action, he is an ingrained PenDsylva-
pian. Within our broad limits there is
none who can or will make better Gov
ernor.
Colonel Curtin is no. only above all re-
prosch, but is beloved by his immediate
neighbors and personal acquaintances. A
man of dignifed presence, ofgraoious and
gentle demeanor, kind-hearted, genial
and sunny tempered, remarkably instruc-

1t gives equal satisfaction among the far.
mers and iron men of Centre, and the
merchants and manufacturers of Philadel-

State answers it with wonderfully gen.
eral applause. The solid business men
of the city and the State are delighted
with it. From Lske Erie totbe Delaware,
this nomination is regarded as the begin

He will make all Pennsylvania ring with
his trenchaut, sparkling and soDorous elo-
quence. He will be surrounded by the
best men of the Peoples party-tbe Aow-
er and the promise of its future-young,

of a youthful maturity, solid enterprise,
generous liberality, enlightened humani-
ty. aud thourough Pennsylvania policy.
This sketch comes from the heart. as
well as the head, of true Pennsylvania,
who much as he admires und trusts the
candidate, loves the man. But let no one,
therefore, suppose that the warmth OF
friendship colors, this picture too highly.
Andrew G. Curtin will soon visit every
part of the State himself Wherever be
goes, the crowds who will meet and know
him, will become his charmed and eager
personal friends.
In October, the people Of Pennsylva.

their es, and the future course Of e.
vents will prove the correctness of their
verdict, and turn our anticipation into
facts. y.
