We copy this extract from a speech made
by Governor Hartman at q ratification
meeting in Concord, New Hampshire:
Isppear here tonight to rejoice q0itb yoE.
With proud hearts we accept the action of
the great conventions of the soldiers and
sailors and of the people at Chicago. We
forget for the time being, the dark cloud Of
the past, and gaze reveTently on the bright
''bOW of prOmisen which the present re-
veals. Success is assured. The electoral
vote Of tWenty-siX States will be given to
our candidates. The ticket is strong and
the platform sound. We would not change
the former, we would not add to
or subtract from the latter. At the
| head of the ticket we have YalOr, firm
ness, discretion. We have the man who,
under God. was raised up for the exigeney
| to be o leader and a deliverer-who, in the
| dark night of the rebellion discerned the
| light on the other shore, and who, direct
| ing the tramp Of the loyal army, snufed
| out the infamous conspiracy against the
/ government. In the second place on the
| ticket we have the man Tor the occasion
/ one with q clear, sagacious mind, compre-
hendiEg the situatlon'-thoroughiy de-
| voted to the best interests OF the country.
! and never wrong. This is all we could
/ have, and it is enough, Grant, Coliax, and
victory will be the rallying CRY from ocean
to ocean. BY that sign we will conquer.
