A magnificent welcome was given Senator p

.apied the stage and the parquet, while
ne paIquet circle, family circle and ali the
yalleEieS to the top were packed with people
SIr. Whyte was received with perfect storm
If cheers. He spoke for two hours anu kept
\ vast audience in a continual 1Oar OF ap-
pIause. Mr.. Whyte once occupied the chi'F
IF the Chief Magistrate Of the State OF Mary
land, and now represents her IN the Uhlteu
States Senate, where As 4 patriot, q SuateSii''u
and constitutional LAWYER he is the peer ol
any member of that body. He spoke of the
South as the crring brother, the returning
PrOdigal Son, and of the Republican party ;l9
the Jealous brother, who remained al nome

CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
The city passenger railways nave OouSnI
the Commissioner of Highways, Baldwin, 70
refuse the Herdic coaches license foI trans
pOrtatiUn. The street passenger railway
companies have filed bonds guaranteeing IN
demnity to the Commissioners and the city
for the loss. But the Hcrdic coaches ~lil
ru, in the end and the battle for cheap
Transportation will be won in spite OF the
railway companies cash. The highways OF
Philadelphia are not intended for monopoly
bV street car companies. They belong 10 tiit,
peOple and are intended for their use amt
convenience. That facilities for trdnSpoTti-
ton should be refused a license, IN order 10

MONEY FOR INDIANA.
"'PIease do us the favor to meet rs ana q
few Of our mutual friends to consider an I'M
pOTtant matter which nearly concerns an oi
us =" Such is tie notice that was given to the
principal monied business men of lhtiadel-
phia from whom subscriptions 10 the Indiana
fund was required. There has been, and
still is the manifest presence of decided
unpaSiucSS among the Republicans of this
CITY regarding the result of the Indiana rlcc-
ton Especially since the Maine election has
extensive efforts been made to extend ana
increase the contributions designed 10 assist
the Republicans in doubtful States. Many
ufacturers have contributed large sums tC
keep the State of Indiana from going Demo
cratic. Many prominent citizens Win kc
publican pIoclivities have been enlisted IL
this campaign, and every possible agency
teudinC to strengthen the Republican lin,
has been employed. The vast amount o.
money, however, which our Philadrlphlt
. manufacturers and merchants are giving s'
lavishIy will not be a bread cast upon th'
waters. They viii never get their-moncl
back. The Union League also raised Spc
cial purse for Indiana, and altogether no
less than 500. 600 have been contributed b!
Philadelphia monied princes to carry Indiana
THE MAN FOR TIE DAY
Gen Winfield Scott Hancock, the Demo
cratic nominee FOR President. is the man fol
the day. Loyalty and fidelity are his chaI
acteri-tiCs. His loyalty to the Union, fo
which he bravely battled and his fidelity t.
the Constitution, which he has made The
guide of his actions, render him prc-cnlnent
! IL the man for the present crisis In Gen
Hancock the people have a candidate 10
President who has not only shown his loyal
" bv years Of march and battle and in shed
ding Lis blood for the Union, but has like
wise shown his great capacity as civil ruler
wherein he made himself acceptable to tn,
people of the South. lie Is man upoT
whom the people OF the whole country Cal
rely-a man who Will place the rights Oi free
men above the reach of a despOtic military
power. Soldiers, pOu whose tolls ana wounds

skilful leader in the executive chair. lInOr

lead of Hancock let all the Union veteran
touch elbows, and let liberty and peace b
and forever In this
tional crisis Providence has given YOU MAI
who combines in himself all that is require,
in Chief Executive. President Johnson
in his message of 1867, in referring to Gen
Hancock, said
When great 'oldier. with unrestricted powe
in his hands To oppress his fcllowmen. voluntarily
forgOes the chance Of gratifying his selfish ambi
ton; and dcvotcs himself TO the duty OF buildini
up the liberties and strengthening the laws of hi
country, he presents an example OF the highc-
public virtue that human nature il capable %
practicing."
The soldiers of the Northwest are formin!
in his line of battle; the Pacific coast is pre-
pairing and declaring itself for him with tn,
greatest enthusiasm Indiana, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, New Yorl
and the New England States are responding
with prOmptneSS to his call, and ths trans
Mississippi States are rally ing their veteran:
around the standard of the peerless soldie
3 whose name was always 4 promise of victory
From nearly all the States the most cheerin,
reports are being received. All are respond
ing with prumptnesS and a thOToughncS>
that shows that the veterans OF the Who'll,
country haYe the same implicit faith in him
now which they had when the nation called
him and all its sons to offer up their lives il
defence of the Union. The election of Gen
Hancock to the Presidency will be a crushing
out OF that sectional bitterness which ha,
been kept alive, in Il manneP in the hiuhes
degree rcprehensible, by those unscrupulou:
/ leaders of the Republican party who ha,
never been to the front and never heard thC
sound Of a hostile bullet on the battle field
but who for many years have been revclling
in the SpOils of Office. The welfare of tn,
whole country will be Subserved by the cipc
tiOn TO the Presidency of Winfield Scott Han
cock. Every true soldier who TiSEcd his life
for the Unions preservation and whose only
motive was the high sentiment of patriotism
and loyalty, desires To see Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock in the execution of the functions o1
the highest Office in the gift of the people
No soldier III ancient OF modern times eveI
commanded the affection of the rank and file
more u!SelhShly and more absolutely thar
does Gen. Hancock. The name of this pure
hearted, brilliant soldier and IeveEhCadcd
statesman possesses among the men who
fought for the preservation of the Union al
uiHucLcC that cannot be estimated. Ills

Unbiased by faction, untaihtcd by pride
