The telegraphio dispatches from

publican candidate for Governor.
I Newark N. J., heretofore Democratic

Thcpoopleof Pennsylvania owe i Ho
themselves to re elect Gov. Hartranft.
Three years ago be was abused shame
fully by the opposition, and it was pre
dieted that bis administration would be
the most corrupt in the history of the
State. Instead Gov. riartranft has
proved an honest, wise and careful Gov
crnor, and ho has won golden opinions
from his enemies as well as friends
Such a conservative newspaper as the
New tYork Evening Post,wbich was
bitterly opposed to Hartranft's election
lavishly praises his course since he has
occupied the Executive chair. Indeed
praise is the loude6t .in 1875, where
abuse wes most heard in 1872.
