The Radicals.

The Radicals. ,.1a fu Ese
Notwithstanding the undoubted success
OF the democratic state ticket, and the de-
cided majority for Judge Sharswood, the
radicals of 'the ring" are still proclaim
ing their belief that Judge Williams has
been elected. If this means ANYTHING. f.
means that the old game of fraud is to be
again played, and the radicals intend to
treat the election as though they had not
been defeated. We warn the party leaders
against attempting such thing. Demo-
Gratis are In no humor or condition to sub
init passively to such an outrage, and pun
ishment certain, and severe, will quickly
follow. not only the miserable tools who
may be the instruments of its preparation
but also the greater criminals and bolder
knaves who furnished the money for their
purchase. We cannot for one instant en-
tertan the belief that Col. Francis Jordan.
who occupies the dual position of secreta-
ry OF the commonwealth, and chairman of
the radical state committee-ofices that
ought to be incompatibe-woul allow
such an outrage to be perpetrated. Certain
1t Is that the. state returns are sent to the
office of the secretary of the commonwealth
and no fraud can be successful without the
connvance of some officers of that depart-
ment. In 1888, there was ':Buckshot

attempt to tamper with the purity of the
ballot-box. Let the dark political game

Great battles. - Z s41g
The Jour. Militaife, of Berlin, publishes
some interesting statistical details relative
to the battle Of Sadowa, compared with
our engagements, from which it appears
that in any other battle, of modern times.
"Thc troops engaged ut Leipsic," says the
Journal, ''amounted to GAG, 900 allies and
10000 French, total of $4,000 men.
At Wargam the number of French was
100000, and that of the Austrians l40, 600,
or 34O, 900 in all. At Solferino there were
10000 'Austrians and 10000 allies,
being 2OO, 900 men. Borodino, 10000
French were opposed to l20, 600 Rnssians,-
making total of 25O,OOO. At WaterIo
there were 10000 Prussians, $4,000 allies
and 5000 French, or 10000 men in all.
The total number of troops that took part
in the battle of Sadowa were 42O, 900, con-
sisting of 100000 Prussians and 2OO, 900
Austrians. With regard to the number Of
guns Leipsic takes the first place in that
engagement 1900 were uscd-l, 800 be-
longing to the allies, and 700 to the French.
AT Sadowa the number of pieces was 1880
of which $50 were Prussian and 500 Aus
trian. The battle of Solferino comes next:
100 cannoni We're used there, 800 belong
ing to the Austrians and 400 to the allies.
AS to the loss of men killed and wounded,
Leipsic also occupies the first rank the
total number put hors de combat in that
battle was 100 900, of which there was an
equal number on both sides. Borodino
ranks. next, in which each belligerent. lost
$4,000 men, or $4,000 in all. AT Water
loo the Prussian loss numbered I 900, that
of the allies 10000, and that of France
10000, being total of $1,000 men. AT
Wagram each belligerent left $4,000 men
on the field. The battle of Sadowa ap-
proaches very near that of Solferino. In
the latter engagement the loss of the Aus
TRANS amounted to $4,000 men, and that
of the allies to $4,000. At Sadowa the
number of killed and wounded on the side
of the Prussians was 10000 and on the
side. of the Austrians 10000, or 10000
men in all. Respecting the number of
prisoners made, he-battles of Leipsic and
Solferino may be placed on the same line,
the total in each battle amounting to 90
600 French or Austrian) This is the
greatest number of prisoners, captured in
modern engagements. AS to the capture
of cannon, 80 were taken at Leipsic, 40
at Waterloo, and "A at Sadowa.
