than the roughs and rowdes, against whose possible

comparative exemption from the ills commonly
besetting lfe" The interest of the nara tive
is uncommonly great. Born in 1888, on the
verge of the French Revolution, he is able to
speak with the familiarity of personal acquaint-
ance of several generations of distin guished
men. He has made eight visits to this coun-
try; where he has enjoyed the intimate &C
qaintance of our leading men for a third of
century and where he still has scores of friends.
He knew Everett, Clay, Webster, Calhoun, all
the Presidents from Jackson down, and is now
on the same terms of social intimacy with VIM.
M. Evarts and Mr. Seward. His "reminiscences
of President Lincoln are extremely interesting.
With foreign celebrities his acquaintance is
equally extensive. He has been great travel
er, and the record of his numerous tours in
both hemispheres occupies large part of the

GENERAL HARTRANFT AND THE PENN
sYLyANIA CANVASS.

One Of our earnest Delaware Republicans
SINE weeks ago, WAS expressing to Us grave ap-
prehensions concerning the October election in
PENNSYLVANIA He has an extensive acquaintance
throughout Chester county and from what he
saw Of the feeling among Republicans there, he
feared that the morale of the party throughout
tue state was decidedly below the point necessa-
rs to carry Geperal Hartranft safely through.
Recently, however, our friend assures US that
inhis Judgment the situation is entirely changed,
and he feels sure that there must be most en-
couraang re- action in favor of the gallant can
didate, of our Sister State. Referring again to
Chester county, he finds that there has been a
most wonderful enkindling of Republican enthu-
siasm for Hartrsnft and where there was doubt,
hesitation, or caviling, few weeks ago, there is
now the most hearty spirit, active organization,
and a resolution to labor earnestly and unitedly,
It is the conviction OF the gentleman whom
we are quoting that General Hartranft has prov
ed himself too upright and honest for the cor
rupt rings that gather about Harrisburg, al
that they have been doing their worst to black
en- his name, and prevent his being placed in a
position where he can still further battle their
efforts to plumber the State. He feels sure that
this despicabe attack will utterly fail, and that
the people are resolved to make Hartranft Gov
ernor by decisive majority.
