Governor Harrlman's Speech

The Repu blicans of franklin Counts
had gloriously enthusiastic meeting OF
Tuesday last at the Court House For
two hours the large audience were enter
tanned by one of the most eloquent aud
chaste speeches it has ever been our
privilege to listen to. Governor Walter
Hartman Of New Hampshire is one Of
the most e5ectioe speakers that ever noun.
ted the stumpin our good Hoosier State,
and that Is saying good deal for one
who has listened with wrapt attenti ton to
most all Of our orators for which the
West, and particularly Indiana and Ohio,
has been proverbial. New Hampshire may
we'll be proud Of her noble young Gov.
ernor, as we in the West are proud Of our
Morton, our Coliax. our Baker, and our
Julian, 70 say nothing Of the Lesser lights
which grace our Wesiern horizon. Would
to God that every voter in Indiana could
have listened TO that speech. Every OBJ.
lection to the course Of the Republican
party and its candidates was so eiiectually
met, our principles aud policy 50 fully
explained, that no man with grain OF
common sense could justly complain OF
the treatment tho Rebel Democracy re.
eeived at the hands Of the Government.
The Governor gave us glorious news
from the Old Keystone State, which
he had lately canyassed; also cheer.
ing accounts OF tue enthusiastic meetings
he has lately been addressing in Ohio.
Our meeting was blessed with the con.
version Of several voters irom the Demo.
cratic party. The speech was frequently
spiced with most rapturous applause, aud
adjourned with rousing cheers for harri-
man, Grant 4 Colfax. tho ladies, (many
of whom graeed the meeting with their
presence,) aud tho glorious Army and
Navy which saved the country from the
ruin intended by the rebels Of the South
and their Democratic sympathizing friends
in the North.
We are now confident in the belief
that Indiana will follow in the footsteps
Of Vermont and Maine in giving heavy
majority for the Republican ticket in
October and November.

Hon. John s. Reid.

Who is Judge Reid? and what mighty
acts has he done to merit 50 much praise
from picayune "lost cause" editors2 Has
he promised them some petty Office? or is
il his money that makes them howl so
loudly aud persistently? OF is it himself
behind the curtains singing his own
praise? viii the 'lost cause organ on
the Public Square inform us2 If Judge
Reid owns All the Soldiers in this district
and has taken charge Of them, il he raised
his mighty voice and barred his arm and
cheercd them on to victory, as these
brainless ''lost cause" pen seribblers are
trying to make our people believe, it il a
perfect shame that Grant, Sherman Sheri
dan, Thomas or any Of the other noble
heroes Of the war should have any praise
Mt all. 1t should all be saved and given
10 Reid.
But We view the subject in an entirely
different light. When the great Union
Republican party were struggling with
traitors for the life Of tho nation, Reid
remained in his law office quietly. His
voice was not heard nor his presence fel,
in any Of tie councils Of the friends Of
this Government. The Brookylle DEM
ocrat urged as reason Tor his noinina.
ton, that for four years he dared not raise
his voice in exercise Of that great gift OF
the Cons,itutiss--ireedom of speech. -
This. IN plain English, means that Judge
Reid was opposed to the war, aud that
during the excitement Of the conflict his
loyal neighbors would not allow him tc
give laid aud comfcrt" to the rebels, NJ
did his bosom friend, VallandghOm. lie
was what our friend Mitchell would have
four years ago called "Breckinridger, a
copperhead rebel and traitor" These
were M,ohcll's pet names for the class
Of politicians to which Reid belongs.
We honestly think that no true soldier
can vote for Judge Reid without virtually
acknowledging that Reid was right in
opposing tho war, and himself wrong In
sustaining aud participating ia it,
