ATTENTION Soldiers and Sailors and
hear what Horace Greeley and bis
Southern friends have to say about you,
in view of your contemplated couven-
ton at Pittsburgh on the 18th of Sep
tember proximo:
The Post copies and endorses an arti-
Gle from the Chicago Tribune, on the
Soldiers and Sailors convention to
assemble in this city September II, in
which it says that our community, like
a good d-natured audience, will look on
approviDgly, while these superttno's
veteraas shoulder the crutch and show
how fields were won." That is the
estimate of Greeley journals put on the
men who served the country and re-
turned home covered with the immortal
elories won in its defense. "SUPERFLU-
GUS VETERANS Soldiers what think
We of it? And what think ye of it, ye
fathers and mothers, and wives who
gave your sons and husbands to the
sacred cause of your country and
liberty?-[Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The Work that Hartrantt has Performed IN
Six Years-Deeds not Words.

Gen. Hartranft, like the great party
which he represents, rest his claims to
public consideration and confidence, not
on what he says, or other people may
say for or against him, but upon what
he has done-what he has accomplished
in the public service. He is to be judged
by acts, not words.
During his first three years as Auditor
General, by the direct and sole good
management of John F. Hartrantt,
guarding the public resources, and
closely scrutinizing all expenditures of
public money, the Indebtedness of Penn
sylvania was reduced s4324, ,055 78,
During his second term, the reduction
aggregated S4,771,3SS,52; making a
total of debt reduction accomplished by
Auditor General Hartranft, in six years
nine million ninty;fue thousand four
hundred and .forty-for dollars and
thirty cents. This is practical work, the
statement of which may net occupy as
much space as some of Buckalew's
speeches discussing points in Stuart
Mills theories of political economy, yet it
is more satisfactory and comprehensive
to the people than any long buncombe
harangue. The effect Of the work on the
securities o! Pennsylvania, is shown by
the rate at which State securities were
and are now quoted in Philadelphia
In May 1st, 1866, when General Hart
ranft went into office. our bonds were
quoted at S8a ; at the present time the
quotation is, Sd series, 107; 1st series,
103, and all other series at 102@103.
Such are the results and the effects pro-
duced by Hartranft's management of
the Auditor Generals office.
When General Hartranft took charge
of the Auditor Generals Office, the debt
of Pennsylvania aggregated $37, ,495,-
455.41!
At the close of General Hartranft's
six years as Auditor General, he reduced
this debt to $2s, ,3S0.0l1.11 having, as
already stated, in six years, without any
increase OF taxation, and with the tax
on real estate removed by Republican
Legislature, paid nine million, ninety
fve thousand, four hundred and forty
four dollars and eleven cents.
Such are the results produced by the
labors of faithful and competent Off
cial, and such the merit on which we
rest Johu F. Hartranfts claim as can
didate for Governor.-[State Journal.

The New York Tribune.

If there ever was a case of shoddy,
shabby, lying journalism on this CONT
nent the New York Tribune is that case.
1t makes no pretension at truth telling;
it tells you that it is not the organ Of
any party, and yet every one knows, who
reads it, that it is the most bitter of all
the untruthful partisan journals pub
lished throughout the length and
breadth of this land. 1t makes no
charge in direct terms against General
Grants administration, but contents
itself in indulging in the lowest order of
insinuations and inuendoes. AS "no
party organ" it prouounces the most un-
fair and untruthful criticisms on the
efforts Of public men in favor of the
great national Republican party and its
candidates, and yet this same "no party
organ" INDUCES in praises loud and long,
when fugitive from justice reads an
essay as full of rancor and hate toward
this country and its chief magistrate as
he ever did toward his native country
and its rulers. In a recent issue it pub
ished a long list of defaulters to the
government, and announced that these
were all appointed to place by General
Grant, and were today supporters of his
administration, when IN fact, as the
Tribune we'll knew nineteen twentieths
of these persons were appointed
to Office by Andy johnson,
and removed by Gen. Grant, and prose-
cuted BY the proper officers under the
present administration, and these same
scoundrels now out Of prison are to-day
supporting Horace Greeley and his
Tribune. While those appointed by
Gen. Grant we're promptly removed on
detection Of fraud and prosecuted, and
every man either in or out of prison is
to-day shouting for Horace Greeley. All
this the editor of the Tribune knew,
but purposely withheld from the public,
and wickedly published the infamous lie
that these rascals were the supporters of
Gen. Grant. Day after day the Tribune
falsely publishes the name of some one
Of note as coming out for Greeley, when
its candidate editor knows that what he
says of these men is utterly and abso-
lutely false.
We might go on and fill column after
column of the most unwarranted false
hoods, but its career of lying is nearly,
if not entirely run, and the honest and
the loyal everywhere, now regard the
Tribune as among the most unreliable
and uutruthful sheets published in the
Republic.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-08-08
euits anxious.

The New York Tribune professedly
the organ Of no party, nevertheless the
organ and mouth-piece Of Horace
Greeley is quite anxious about the rebel
archives for which the government has
paid $4,000. Why so anxiousl If
there Is nothing to convict circumstan-
tally and substantially, the old Chappa-
quack Fourierite of connivance at
treason. /.
Those papers belong Of right to the
Government and already is the United
States relieved from the payment Of
more than thribble their cost in claims
presented by pretended loyal men, who
figure prominently in the archives OF
rebellion.
TIE Tribune thinks it wonderful
hardship that its editor, now a candidate
for the presidency should be brought to
grief, by showing through rebel official
documents, that by councelling with
their pretended agents, mlsrepresenting
and falsifying President Lincoln, he
proved himself to be the firm fast friend
of those unfriendly to the Government
of the United States. BY reason Of the
beam Of friendship in "H. G's." eyes
for Jefferson Davis, he saw all sorts of
calamnities coming upon US. He saw
"bleediug bankrupt, almost
dying country longing, for peace"
at any cost. Oil how very
sympathetic, He saw "turther ,ohole-
sale devastation, and neo rioers Of hu-
man blood" truly wonderful how keen
and far-sighted he was. He saw wide
spread conviction, in the mind of Horace
Greedy, Jefferson Davis, Jacob Thomp-
son, George N. Sanders, and professor
James P. Halcomb, that the govern
ment and its supporters, Gems. Grant,
Sherman, Thomas, Sheridan, and Mead,
and the soldiers with them were not
anxious for dishonorable peace.
He saw that the government and its
supporters did not "improve proffered
opportunities to achieve it, "a dishonor-
able peace) is doing great harm now,
and is morally certain unless removed,
to do far greater in the approaching
elections" the elections oe 1864, all this
he saw,
"Wi mair O. horrible and awfn,
Which en'n to name wad be unlawful"
Well poor man he'll see and know more
about trying to be President after the
4th day of November, 1872, than he
did about the elections of 1864 when
caucusing with those precious rebels at
Niagara in July, 1864, what wonder.
After the nert election doubtless he and
Buckalew will have more leisure to d.
gest the "seventy five thousand dollars
worth of hatred"
