' EARTRANFT.
Speech of Ml*. U. Ihseker Swope.
An immense •Itepablican demon
stration took place in Philadelphia,
Tuesday evening, Sept. 10, at which
speeches were made by Attorney-
General Wn.suana, and lion, H. Du.
cnza Bworit. The former tlisctisseii
national affairs in tin aiiib /Winner,
wirdiat the latter attended to State
politics. The speech of Mr. SWOPE is
a lull and complete vindication of
our gallant candidate for Governor.
The speaker was the counsel for the
State in the Evatte matter ,
. and is
diotottglity conversant with all the
questions and the actors involved.
111 health has prevented him from
speaking until this time, and even

H. Bccusa Swoi was thou brotight

audience there was loud cheering.
After some minutes quiet was restor
ed, and Mr. SWOPE spoke as follows
MIL PRESIDm . a AND FELLOW-CITI
ZM : I regret extremely that I ap-
pear before you upon this occasion
exceedingly prostrated. I have been
very ill, and,l may perhaps be ender
the necessity, before going very far,
to crave the indulgence of taking a
seat upon a cheir:. It willt scately
be expected of me to-sight; after the
exhaustive, eloquent, logical and con
vincing discussion of national ques
tions that you have just heard, that
I should.attempt to enter upon the
great subject of national politics.
Moreover, to-day there has flashed
across this continent, making glad
the hearts of loyal men, from whore
the broad Atlantic meets its t attern
shores to where the blue billows of
the great Pacific dash and break and
die %away a speech more logical,
more convincing, more : grand, more
glorious than ever was uttered by ,
rhetorician or orator from the plat
form—which comes from the moan
tairis of the Pine Tree State! [Ap
plause.] Ah !my fellow-citizens, it
tells you to-night in thunder tones
that the Greeley bubble has burst
[laughter]; that the bastard move
ment has collapsed, and that all that
remains is to bury it in some " bloedy
chasm " so deep that the Angel of
the Resurrection cannot awaken it.
[Cheers.] White caps NI sually dis
appear in Pennsylvania about Octo
ber [laughter]; you don't see any of
them afterwards; but the frost comes
earlier in Maine and Vermont, and
the thing has been sadly nipped
in the bud. [Laughter.] And now,
forsooth, this great party-:-.this com
bination of the good and virtuous
and patriotic of the land, that was to
move on irresistibly to victory—this
great party is in mourning. And
when that distinguished citizen of
Pennsylvania, that model reformer,
that magnificent specimen of political
Virtue and high personal character,
Alexander McClure [hisses] heard
last night at the Continental the
news from Maine, you ought to have
seen him chew his tooth-pick:
[Laughter.] Why, 'they are ready
to give up without another blow.
They are worse scared than the
Dutchman was at the time of the
cholera: During the cholera excite_
meat, when they bad lists of the
names of the people that died of the
cholera, a fellow rushed into the
Ledger office one day and said :
" Does yer keep here der lists of der
beople dot don't die of der cholera?"
[Laughter.] "Yes, sir." "Den dis
is der blace where I Bits der list ?"
" Yes." " Den let me see der list."
It was shown to him. " Now, will
yer read der names; I want to see if
Carl Hobensacken is der." So they
were read along. There stood the
Dutchman. By and by be said :
"Well, if die is not the funniest ding
you ever see, by tamn; dat is my
name, Carl Hobensackea; you see
•dat I *as drunk, and I got scared,
and I think I think I had der chol
era, and dat
.I was dying 1" [Laugh
ter.] Now I say that t his great par
ty is worse scared than Carl Hoben
sacken was. [Laughter.] But, my
fellow-citizens, it is nothing 'more
than a 'voice from those great -Com
monwealths, as the Attorney-Gener
al has said, proclaiming to the peo
ple of this great country, and to all
other lands, that for four years more
a faithful ruler and an honest man
and a true patriot shall control the
destinies of this great Republic. [Ap
plause.] I pass, "then, as yon will
naturally expect of me, to the discus
sion of the question involved in our
State canvass. I ask your consider
' ation briefly to
SOME. OF THE CHARGES
that have been made against our
candidate; and if I have the physical
strength and your patience will
justify it--tO a brief discussion of
the record of the head of the Demo•
cmtic ticket—the renowned and pa
triotic and distinguished Charles R.
Biickalew. One of the first and prin
cipal charges that has been made
against the Republican candidate for
Governor is that he is the candidate
of the Ring, the Treasury Ring, the
Ring that controls the politics of
Pennsylvania, the ring that is, under
the lead and dominion and power of
that man—who, if we are to believe
all that is said about him, must be a
demon incarnate—Simon Cameron.
[Applause.] Now, my fellow-citizens,
I have never been an admirer of Mr.
Cameron;' have never belonged to his
wing of the party in Pennsylvania;
but, on the contrary, as many of you
know, have always been identified
with what is called the wing—the
same that the President of this meet
ing has belonged to (referring to Mr.
Mann)—what is known as the Cur
tin wing of the party: [Cheers.) I
want, also, to say to you, to-right,
just here, that while that distinguish
ed War-Governor cf Pennsylvania is
'lying dangerously ill in
,New York—
that, the reports which have been put
in circulation abort' his being oppos.
ed in any way to the National or
State tickets are lies' cat out of the

admirer of Senator Ouneron, !ttl
have never bidonged to his wing of
the party. But some thing& I k.now
about the manner in which the nom
ination of John P. Ilartranft was
brought abottt. [Applause]. In the
first place, you will remember, my
fellow-ditiaens, that for, ratmlbs, for
mBrp tlittrt yettri. pre? ions to tho
tiiiibting of the State Convention,
Gen. Hartranft's. name was proxii
nently ratsitioned in connection with
the LGulentatorial nomination, and
that county after county instructed
delegates for him, to represent, them
at Hatriabttrg.
C4miniox o?PoREi 1O mirrn - kitrr'o3 NOMI-
The week before that Convention
assembled I happened to be in the
city of Washington, in the discharge
of official duties. While there I:wae
present at .a caucus held in the Com
mittee room of Senator Cameron, in
the Senate aide of the Capitol. There
were a number of prominent politi
cians there, and the conclusion was
that the nomination of John P.
Haitranft the neat week at Harris
burg must be prevented. In that
conclusion Senator Cameron concur
red, and it was decided that he should
proceed to;Htu'risbarg, and use his
utmost efforts to idefeat the nomina
tion of Gen. Hartranft for Governor:
He started from Washington, went
to Harrisburg, found the majority of
the delegates were instructed for
Htirtranft, and that IA had nb power
or tontrol over them; then left Har
risburg and' came back to Washing
ton before the Convention was over,
and reported that the thing was
done, and that he had no power to
prevent it. [Applause.] Yet they
say- ho is the candidate of the Camer
on ring. Here is one of his principal
backers, who -was there upon the
ground (pointing to the Hon. Wm.
B. Minn, sittibtir near him), and
Morris Coates, of Philadelphia, was
another, upon the ground; and you
know that county after county, anti-
Cameron, sent delegates instructed
for lartranft, and that county after
county recognized as Cameron, sent
qele g ates instructed for Jordon.
Now, my fellow-citizens, the next
charge that has been made—and I
dismiss this charge about his being
the candidate of 'a ring with these
remarks, because I will have to has
ten—the next charge that has been
made against Gen. Ilartrarift is that
he was implicated in the Evans
fraud; that he attempted to steal
frUin the commonwealth of Pennsyl
vania $300,000 in the form of com
missions for collecting the war claims
of thc Commonwealth against the
Government of the United 'States—
[At this point the speaker was inter
inpt«l by the passage of. a, procs
sion, and the discharge of fireworks
outside the building—Rzeorran.] In
regard to this charge : the largest
portion of what were called claims
were presented at Washington before
Gen. Hartranft came into office. You
will further remember that there is
no such thing as an account of a
State against the Government of the
United States. There can be no
claim against the sovereign except
what the sovereign itself chooses to
allow. The United States Govern.-
ment chose, by an act of its Congress,
to provide that it would, under cer
tain circumstances, refund to the
State the payments which they had
made for expenditures durinc , the
war. You will remember that ° it is
no part of the duty of the Auditor-
Gener:,l to audit an account between
the State and United States,
.und
that there could be no account, no
writing, papers, no vouchers of
any kind relating to these war claims
of the Commonwealth against the
United States on file in the Auditor-
General's office, or that could by any
possibility pass through, his hands.
Now you will bear in mind, moreover,
that these vouchers, which were ask- .
ed for in the office of the Auditor-
General— <,
[Here again the *speaker was in
terrupted by a procession and fire
works.—REPOllTEß.l
I was about to remark that it is
claimed that the vouchers subse
quently asked for from the Auditor-
General would furnish the, account
against the United States. They
were vouchers of accounts which hag
beea settled in the Auditor General's
office between citizens and the State,
and tiled away, towards which the
duties of the Auditor-General had
been officially discharged. under act
of Assembly, and which he had no
thing more to dO ,with. When the
Government of the United States
saw proper to allow the claim to be
made against it for moneys disbars-
ed by the State, it also provided that
it would recognize in the settlement
of the claim the Governor of the
State, ora duly accredited and ap
pointed agent. In accordance with
that provision, an agent was to be
appointed to present the claims to
the Government, to obtain the mo•
ney, and pay it over to the Governor
or into the State Treasury, and 'the
Auditor-General had .nothing more
to do with it than you or I. [Ap
plause.] That was the status of the
claims a': the time Evans was ap
pointed agent under an act of As
sembly by the Governor of the Com
monwealth. He made out the claims
and presented them at Washington,
and r‘sceived the money, and paid it
over- , --what 'was paid over—to the
Govetnor, and the Governor paid it
into the State Treasury, and all the
Auditor-General had to do with it
'was to ascertain by examination of
the accounts of the State Treasury if
the money paid had been properly
credited to the Commonwealth, and
if it was there in the hands of the
Treasurer ready to meet legal war
rants drawn upon the Treasury. .This
was the status of those claims when
it' was 6cci4entally discovered that a
large portion of money had been re
ceived by George 0. Evans, which
had not been paid into the treasury
of the Commonwealth. Immediately
after that discovery the State Treas
urer and the Auditor-General applied
to me, as their counsel, residing in
the city of Pittsburg, as their private

surer and the Auditor-General shoild
settle and adjust the account upon
such data as they might be. able to
obtain, and that they should calltim
to amount and demand the payment
of the money, that they themselves
stated and certified to be die, Ac
cordingly the , itecount was settled,
and he was called, to account, and
the toonq delilaitd&l; What
then? Why, ho left the-State. Wheii
he was gone, they came to me again"
to know what had to be done now. -I
advised that a criminal charge should
be made against him, that a- warrant
should be issued, that a requisition
should be 'taken, and that ho should
be arrested and brought back to the
Commonwealth 'to answer ,Ft charge
of embezzlement, bat- which was af
terwards tortured into • a charge of
larceny as bailee. [Applause.] I
wrote the information and directed
it. My clients went to Harrisburg
and - submitted the documents to the
Attorney-General, who coincided
with me, and obtained a requisition
to procure the arreat'z.of this man.
In 'all this Gen. Hartranft was the
most vigorous and most urgent and
the most diligent prosecetor that I
ever had as a client in twenty years
of practice [Applause.] When
requisition had been obtained, offi
cers, were sent to New York, but fail
ed to ascertain the whereabouts of
Evans, when Gen. Hartranft aid Mr.
Mackey came to me again to urg e
something else to be .done. I foun d
authority under the United States
Cdvemment, as an etttfrney of the
United States,-to procure the inter
ference and assistance of the secret
service of the United States to ascer
tain the whemabouts of Evans, and
. succeeded in .finding him and pro
curlhg his arrest. [Applause.] Ho
was bronght back to 'the State of
Pennsylvania and disposed of, as yern
know, on a hearing at Hirrisbutee
At that tithe I was sick—lying in bed,
and ;could n't attend as their counsel.
They were represented by lion.
Wayne MacVeadie and the. State, by
Attorney-General Brewster. To, my
great surprise and aruazenient I the
charge before Judge Pierson was
entirely different from that which
had advised and had intended to
prefer. -He was discharged, but
the civil suit remained. Now mark,
my fellow-citizens, during - all this
time,
GEN. HARTRANFT NEv - ca MANIFESTED THE
SLIGHTEST FEAR,
and recollect that he had it in his
power to stop the proceedings at any
- moment. If the Auditor-General and
the State Treasurer had differed, the
Star: coulea't have proceeded to re
cover the money; if they - differ the
Governor is umpire, and - his decision
is final. If Gen. Hartranft had de
sired to stop the proceedings, if there
had been anything in his transqc
tions with G. 0. Evans that impliciat-,
ed him in-the embezzlement, all he
had to .do was to differ with - State
Treasurer Mackey, and the whole
thing was squelched in .an instant.
But no, he was firm, vigorous, tin--
yielding, pelseVering, pressing to the
last, demanding that the State shoUld
have justice;. an that the money of
the Commonwealth should be paid
over and placed in the vaults : of the
treasury. [Applause.] One step fur
ther. They charge that he borrowed
$7,000 from Evans. So he did, and
he paid it back and redeemed his
note like an honorable man,: anal I
beer testimony here tonight to the
fact that though George 0. Evans
was his creditor . .for $7,000, yet
that did n't deter him from bringing
Geo. 0. Evans to justice. [Applansti.
He paid him the note, and paid hun
the interest, every penny of it, for
every hour that 'he hsd held Win his
possession. And now cau you see
anything in all this that reflects dis
credit upon Gen. John F. Hartranft
—anything upon which these charges
eau be based that are 'daily reiterat
ed in the Liberal and Democratic
press ? But I shall have more to say
about it before I get . through.
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE STATE 'THEASU
EMI
I now pass to the next charge, that
Gen. Hartrauft and Mr. Mackey and
the. Treasury Ring have been specti
lating and using the public money in
the Treasury improperly. In the
first place they allege that it. is en
tirely wrong that these moneys
- should be distributed about the State
—deposited with various banks and
.bankers throughout the Common
wealth Well, it may be wrong-4
have n thing to say about that—bnt
our for fathers,-as far back as 1811,
passed . law which provided that all
persons who held money dne to the
Commonwealth should, deposit in
such banks as might 1)( designated
by the State Treasurer—as far back
as 1811. And again, in 1855, the
same thing was reenacted, and it
was provided that the Auditor. Ge
neral should, at stated times, examine
. the accounts of the various banks
and bankers, to ascertain, that the
money was duly placed to the credit
of the . Commonwealth. . Again, in
1857, it was reiterated. At that time,
the bail of the State Treasurer was I
only sso,ooo. Two years ago, at thel
instance of Mr. R. W."Mtickey . ,- the
present incumbent, it was increased
to $500,000, and the matter .vas re
constructed so that Monthly returns
were required to -be made. to she
the state of the funds deposited be
longing to the Commonwealth. Non,
mark you, there is,not a• single bunk
in this Commonwealth that has to
day $500,000, or anything like it'—'
not one. So what security have you
:for the deposits made? Why, first,
the bank itself; second, the personal
security of the State Treasurer; aud,
Third, the bail of half • a million of
dollars. Is your
_money safe ? It +
safer than ever before in the history
of the State. Unr forefathers were
' wise in making this prtivisiou relative
to the Money being kept deposited
in "various banks of the. Corninon
wealth. Would you put it in the
vaults of the Treasuryat.Harrislairg
Ellbjelt to lUsa by tire and 'burglary,
or - would you have it, disseminated
among the banks in the State, in use
among the people? But they say
that too large an amount is kept on

Mr. Mackey, assisted by his friends,
rayied the $lO,OOO, and placed - it; to
the credit of the Commonwealth; anti
it Is there to-day, to my personal
knowledge, every dollar- of it, -ready
to be drawn upon any legal warrant. .
[Applause]. I came on to Philadel
phia to see what could be dOne to se
cure this 'Claim, or any part of it, out
of the assets of Mr. Yerkes. I found
ho had made voluntary assignments
of. what property ho had left to a
lawyer in this city, and I discovered
that before his failure he had given
preference to a large number of banks
and bankers in this city—some of
your very first bankers—and some of
the largest and most powerful corpo
rations in thismity, the First Nation
al and the 'Kensington Banks, and
Mr. Drexel. Now my duty as coun
sel for Mr. Mackey and Gen. Hart
ranft—who had nothing in connec
tion with this deposit of public mo
ney—was eo direct them what was
best for them to-do. I knew. if I
Went into.a Court of Bankruptcy and
instituted proceedings against Yer

would be fought at every step.• I
knew that Yerkes' books and all the
accounts` and data would have tole
brought into the public tribunal, anti
passed through the hands of the
Marshal and the hands of the Regis
ter in bankruptcy, open to the in
spection of all the creditors. Did
that make them hestitate a moment?
Did I hesitate ? - I went into the U.
S. Court and filed the petition in
bankruptcy and provided the proof. .
This money was the personal indebt-,
canes& of Robert W. Mackey, : every
dollar of it i and has all been paid to
the State—every dollar of it; and is
there now.
.[Applanse.li What I say
can be proved by anyb ody who ex
amines the record. There was no
thing illegal or improper in the.trans
sedan with Charles T.-Yerkes. [Ap
plause]. There wlnt nothing impro
per or criminal in either Robert W.
Mackey or J. F. Hartranft. But, they
say there was au account kept in the
books in the initials of M. R. :W.,.
aid that they represented stocks'
bought for_ Mr. Mackey and for -Mr.
Hartranft. Jest at that time one of
the first things I did when I came to
Philadelphia to collect this money
was, to ascertain the state of the ac
counts between Mackey and Hart
ranft. I saw the initials, "M. R. W.,"
and I enquired. what they meant.
" Why," said. Mr. Yerkes, "they mean
stocks that I had bought for Mr.
Mackey as a fcienr, and if I made
any money oat of 1 em I would pay
it to him, and if 110 I would say
nothing about it." I
Mackey about it, and itsked him if
he had authorized this thing..
He said he , didn't give any author
ity, and that he didn't deal in stocks.
Mr. Yerkes, in the presence of - Mr.
Kemble, said the account was in no
way included in the proceedings in
bankruptcy. But they say that is
not all. Hero is an affidavit. made
by Charles Yerkes thatihe ,dill buy
stocks with the State money for Hart
molt and Mackey—that they were
speculating in State funds. I say ,
to you to-nights that Chailes Yerkes
never made any such affidavit and
never signed it. [ Applause]. I say to
you here to-night it is a forgery made
out of whole cloth, and_ I have .the
document to prove it here in my hand.
[At this point the speaker exhibited
a letter.) .
On July 18th, 1872,Charles Yerkes
wrote to General Hartranft this
this;
"The affidavit 'which they have made
out has not my signature to it."
And on' the 27th of August, 1872,-
he writes thus and the letters are'
ready to be prOduced, with his own
signature and in his own handwri
ting, whenever any one wants to see
them, for I have got them. [Ap
plause.]
"I have been extremely sorry that ' I
have not been able, by the frustration
of my plans, to assist you to deny the
ingeniously :contrived articles and
false statements that have been.pub
lished in the papers. It is my ear
nest desire to alleviate all you have
suffered by reason of matters in my
office. I will take every opportunity
,of doing so. .- - ett.ts. T. YEns.Es."
And that's not all ; and I say here
try-night-that the day is not far dis-
I twit,: and thci hour is not far distant,
when it will- be' demonstrated'that

from forty-two millicin of debt that

Now, my- fellow citizens, look at
that. At the same rate of payment

see about Buckalew. ("Well us about
,Forney."] But.you know all about
-him already: There is no use wast
ing 'arrimunitieff over one of Andrew
John Son's dead ducks.
Let us see a little about Buckalew, -
He is a'Reform candidate. -Ho is a
inan.,all virtue. If he• is elected, there
will be no speenlating with the pub
lie money. There will be no money
deposited in _ the banks._ Well, I
don't' believe there will be much.
[Laughter] ' Everything will be
lovely. Let us look at his record.
He has been in office about twenty
years, and likes it. - In point of fact,
a fellow does get to like it. I like it
a little myself. He geb3 a hankering,
after it. Well, Buckalew likes it ;
for twenty years he has been in of
fice. He is one of the reformers. -
Well, he is a reformer, something
like Lowery is a Reformer. He is a
very honest man, and went 'into the
Legislature ten years ago. He own
ed a large amount of real estate, the
'purchase money and the taxes on
which were not paid, and he hadn't
the money to pay them with. He
staid nine years iu the Legkslature„
under a salary of $BOO a year, and
paid for that real estate and had
$lOO,OOO to spare. [Laughter].
Buckalew is a reformer like this man.
But Lowery; is honest. -I would_ not
intimate that he is not honest. •
Indeed, I hold him - up as an es-.
ample Of great honesty. He is Mc-
Clure's right bower. [Laughter}
Well, Backalew, when the war broke
out in 1861,- was in South. America,
in some sort of a diplomatic office.
He came home in a few months after
the ,wai broke 1 out, and, the first
thing,,he made a speech on it Demo
cratic occasion, and I mil going to
read the beginning of it verbalipz el
literalist. Said he : "When
landed in New "York I heard that
Abe Lincoln was elected President
of the United States, andl felt hu
miliated." Humiliated!
,think of it!
think of it! Bnckalew was humiliated
because Abe Lincoln, the rail-split
ter of. Illinois, was elected President
of the United States ; yet he is a
Democrat of the Democrats . and a
Reformer, of the- Reformers. And
yet he is going about the State ask
ing workingmen to vote for him.
Humiliated because Abe Lincoln, the
rail-splitter. of " Illinois, • had been
elected President. I thank God; my
fellow-citizens, that we • live in a
:,country where it is possible for the
humblest and"the lowest in the land
to rise to all the hight , r and nobler
positions. But now, Charles R.
13nekalew, Democrat though he tiny
be, has Yet to learn the first, grand
fundatttnital principles of Democra
cy, inset that is that the drops of

there were two occasions, last tin
