AkCnndid Radical.

Hon. JOHN HICKMAN, who was last
week nominated in Chester county for
the Pennsylvania Legislature, made a
speech in which be gave his opinion of
Harrisburg in the following plain terms:
81 would rather spend three months in
the pOor-hOuse or prison of Chester
county than in Harrisburg. No man
can go there and come back with an un-
>ullied reputation, and l am not sure
that it is not my enemies rather than
NV friends that desire to send me there" "
1t is hardly necessary to add that the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, which has
brought about this pleasant state of
things has been for years overwhelm-
iugly Republican.

The drift of the popular tide in all
portions Of the Union is decidedly In
favor of the Democratic party. The
people desire a change. They are op-
pOsed to the principles and acts of the
party in power. Legislating outside of
The Constitution have alarmed those
who have interests at stake in this
country. They are afraid that frauds,
peculations, robberies, increased debt
and augmented taxation will be follow

Of property. The business men are
thinking over the past acts of the Rad
iCals, and comparing them with what
is promised in the future by Senator

acter well calculated to make a deep
impression on all classes of the commu-
nifty.
That an impression has been produced
is evident from the elections in Maine,
California and other States. In Cali
fornia the Democrats have gained 20 900
votes; they have gained 5000 votes in
Vermont; $4,000 in Maine; 1000 votes in
Connecticut; 10000 in Kentucky; 1000
in Rhode Island; 5000 in New Hamp-
shire; and 1000 in Montana-in seven
States and one Territory, $4,000 votes.
These are not mere accidental changes,
resulting from local causes. They arise
from deep-seated conviction in the
public mind that unless the party now
IN power is beaten the liberties of the
people will be sacrificed on the altar OF
political ambition and partisan preju-
dice and hate.

A very disastrous and destructive fire
occurred this morning Mt quarter At
ter one o'clock at Mcdonald & Mitch
ellis livery stable, on Main street. The
building was totally destroyed, together
with about thirty horses and all the
carriages in the establishment. Only
three or four horses were saved, and
all the books andpapers were destroyed
A portion of Beek's brewery was burn
ed, and the roef and side of the residence
of Mr.. Robert Root, on the corner OF

burned and damaged.

All the fire department were in attend

forts, but they labored under great dis
advantage from the scarcity of hose.
All the horses of the Adams Express
Company were in these stables.
The people residing in the houses
near the stables carried most of their
household goods into the street. For
tunately the fire did not extend to the
dwellings.
When the watchman of the stable
first discovered the fire, the hay in the
loft was in a blaze. Every effort was
Immediately made to save the horses,
but only three or four were rescued.
The property was insured for $4,000.
The loss will be very heavy. The heat
of the fire was most intense, and for a
time it was feared the buildings for half
square around would be destroyed.
A young man named Henry Bye, an
employe in the stable, while endeaver-
ing to get horses out, was seriously in
jured by being kicked by horse. For
tunately he was discovered lying on the
floor of the stable in time to be rescued
from horrible death. He was conveyed
to hotel near by, where a medical ex-
animation was instituted by DIR. Hupp.
1t was found that he was badly bruised

NEGROES BETTER THAN FOREIGN
FRS" is now a favorite declaration of
the Radicals. While the war lasted
they petted the "stupid Dutch and ex-
tolled the patriotism of the "chivalric

In the Ohio Convention the argument in
favor of negro suffrage was that colored
men know more than either the Dutch
or the Irish; that the former should
vote at once, while the latter should be
subjected to probation, in order that
they might study and understand the
workings of our institutions. In the
