HARrRANFT's SPEECH
Fellow-citiz | am not afraid to
show my face here or anywhere else.
may not nave as handsome face
as that of 10y Democratic opponent,
but | have never yet done aught that
| should fear to show it. When call
ed to defend my country | was not
afraid to show it then. Great APP
plause. Since | have been an officer
Of this State / have tried to DO my
duty faithfully. | don't believe in
going around the country telling you
| am an honest man. don't want
to speak about my honesty. When |
was in the service and man came to
to speak to me Of his bravery
| rarely believed he WIS a
brave man, and it is pretty
much the same with people who are
too fond Of preaching up their own
honesty. In the past have done my
duty, and if elected | will try to do i,
in the future Prolonged cheers.
His friends claim that he is as
strong if not stronger than Gen, Grant.
He was in all the Battles Of the War
from Bull Run to the Wilderness and
to the surrender at Appomattox Court
House. He was wounded in the strife,
and is the concentrated essence of the
Republicanism Of Pennsylvania,
On The other hand the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans are equally
active and sangune. FoRNEY, a
Grant man, says Hartranft and the
cameron Ring" will be beaten by
10000 majority. Col. Alex. Mcclure,
Liberal Republican, is Of the same
opinion. Ex-Governor Andrew Gregg
Curtin, the friend of Lincoln and the
soldiers during the War, has thrown
the weight of his influence in favor of
Buckalew, and against IIAETRANFT.
Mr.. Greeley is stumping Pennsylvania
in the interest of the Liberal Repub-
lican cause Gov. Seymour and Gov.
Hoffman of New York are also active
in the campaign Carl Schurz, Of Mis-
sour, will speak to the Germans Of
Pennsylvania, for Greeley and against
Grant Richard Vaux, OF Philadel-
phia, and Gov. VIM Bigler are active,
