Among the many outrages on prisoners
at Moysmensing Prison, is that of fleeing
near y every one that comes there. When
Westerveft was first incarcerated he SAYS
that he received bad coffee and food, and
was obliged to pay 25 cents for box of
matches and one dollar for a pound of
butter: Had it not been for Mr.. Ford, his
Council, and some members of secret
order, Of which Vestervelt was member,
ne says that his life at Moya would have
been in reality dogs life. His exper-
iencc. it is alleged, is but fair sample of

A C0NTEMPTIBLE LETTER

The letter of Mr.. Bayard to the Maine Demo-
Gratis throws very little light on his financial
views. 1t is written as though he believed in
hard money and specie resumption, but there
are no decisive expressions in it that show the
holding OF such views. 1t il, in fact, disgrace
fully marred by partisan bitterness and vulgar
abusiveness that give strong color to what
many persons allege against Mr.. Bayard-
namely, that while laying claim to the utmost
fairness, he is capable of the utmost unfairness
to opponents, and that while protesting not to
be rigid partisan, no man il more bitter in
Ills craftsmanship The reference made to the
council of Republican Senators, held last winter
on the finance question: as "a caucus Of tricky
politicians" and tho illusions to Senators
Morton and Sherman, in gross and offensive
terms, are beneath the dignity of truly high
toned man. II Mr. Bayard is capable of writing
ouch letters as this, the estimate which his
cotere of admirers ask the country to place ou
him is altogether spurious and undeserycd.

James Biaas of Lancaster, the Prohibition
e,,vasser, al II recent meeting in West Chester,
charged that Gov. Hartranft never voted a Re-
pu bcan tick ct in his life until he voted for him
self rs a can didate for Auditor General in 1865
si milar hrng is occasionally made by the Phil
adel,hia Times, whose editor, though an origin
al Republican, is now serving the Democratic
party, and striving to trample under foot the
princi Piles which he once professed. Now the
fact is that the charge is falso both in letter and
spirit. Hartranft was Douglas Democrat in
1860, and in April, 1861, entered the service, at
the very first call for men, placing himself
among the pioneers of the grand army of the
Union. He had then no chance to cast vote
till 1864, and then, when polls were opened in
the army, in front OF Petersburg, he cast his
ballot for Abrham lincoln, as did every soldier
who voted at the same place. In 1865, he left
the service, and almost immediately the Repub-
licans nominated him for Auditor General. They
were glad to do 90 they welcomed him..as one
of themselves and he has nobly led them ever
since. Hundreds Of men are prominent and de-
servedly 80 in the Republican ranks, and in
front of tho ranks too, who left the Democratic
party long after General Hartranft did
