tue minds OF many Republicans at the time Of Gen.
Grants nomination for second term, and for some
months preVOus, rs to his illness FOR the Presidency
Having thus sOlemny cleared the ground 1t proceeds
TO argue that the whOse fitness reelection was
doubted few months since, is the httest in the
world now. Elsewhere tho same journal informs its
readers that there Is really considerable agitation among
the city politicians the returns from Georgia. We
should say sol majority of 10000 or $4,000 where only
Onetenth Of that figure expected might reasonably
cause some "agtaton," especially in the Grant camp
where it seems to have been most profound 1t gives
two reasons for this great triumph Gransm first
that the election went by default and nobody took any
interest in 1t and second that the negroes who
enthusiastic in their support OF Walker evidently

Ga avalanche and other discouragng aspects, we are
told:
Mr. Chandler the Secretary OF tho National Republic

will carry the elections in Indiana, pennsylvania, ana
Ono, and this belief seems to be shared by all the
prominent politicians who frequent the headquarters OF

Alas poor, Yerkes. Those improper persons the Lab

GUESSED TT THE FIRST TIME.

There is something positively pOrtentous In
the welngh inexpressibe sagacity of The BuDdto Com
aereial Advertiser. OF course, 1t speaks OF MI Greeley
az "a Garrulous Old Man in White Hf, wandering
about the country making stump speeches at every rail-
way station and in every market place." OF course
parallel is drawn between the wise recence OF Grant
and the fooshness of speech which distinguishes Mr.
Greeley" Those OF readers who have read our re-
ports Of those speeches will be able to judge OF their
"fooshness" That the " retcence" OF Grant Is
wse," nobody who has ever heard him hold forth VIII
he inclined to dispute. This, however, by the way.
What we want to call to in particular is the fol
lowing judiclous statement from the aforementioned
newspaper
at il evident that Horace Greeley intends to make
reconciliation with the South his strongest playing
card"

4 CLFAP CASE OF FRArD.

SO much has been done to evade the real
issue in Gen. Hartranft's case, suppose we
make once more a plain statement of some OF
the facts.
The State of Pennsylvania, by her laws
1evies certain taxes on railroad corporations.
The railroads have resisted the attempts OF
the State to collect a portion of these taxes
Gen. Hartranft, as Auditor-General, was in q
position to know, and it was his duty both to
know and to inform the people and the Legs-
lature what taxes were paid, what taxes were
due, and what taxes were in suspense, depend
ing on the decision of the United States
Supreme Court in test cases before said
Court. No man, whatever his skill and inge-
nuity, can find out from Gen. Hartranft's
reports, during the six years he has been
Auditor General, any of these things Hence
the charges brought against him by campaign
speakers, a month ago, and again by The
Philadelphia Press, the substance of which we
reproduce in another column. If these charges
are unfounded, why are they not shown to be
30 10y clear and precise statements of facts
and figuresY
EBy the confession of his most jealous de-
tenders, Hartranft while in charge of the
finances of the State, was buying and selling
on margin the shares OF these very corpora
tons. In other words, he was gambling in
stocks. His broker has served part of term
in the penitentiary, and is now pardonod out,
on the eve of the election, to UindicdteD
Iartranft by Oaths and affidavits from grayer
charges than we make here. Indeed, we state
nothing here but what is admitted on all
sidesj we simply ask, is the character we
have skctched proper man TO be the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania Is there any set of
bank directors in this city who would retain
as their cashier person whom they knew to
be addicted to speculations in Erie and Pa
cifc Mail, and suspected of using their money
for itf Would they think of making
such a person President of their bank7 If he
owned the bank it might be otherwise. The
question to be decided next Tuesday is, Does
