The Presidential Campaign.

Two points in the canvass are more i'm
portant than all others-the history of the
radical party and the nigger vote. For
eight years the republican party has been
in power, and the final results, as seen by
the people, are the arrangement of all the
machinery OF government, an almost incred-
ible corruption in Office and a weight in
taxes that bears commerce and labor to the
earth. VIII the people longer have patience
with a party that has such history This
is the question of the hour Is there any
fear in our future that should move the peo-
pie to trust this party again, even despite
the fearful chance that it may continue the
same destructive career that has already
been so disastrous to the national prosperi-
ty Can any other party inf1ict upon us
evils worse than those we now suffer as the
consequence of radical misrule Recon-
struction by system of legislation that de-
liberately FORCES calamity for whole peo-
pie and prepares the social ruin Of ten
States to secure power to coterie of politi-
cians-this is the political crime that stamps
the radical faction as utterly damnable be-
fore the people. Men inquire what the fac
ton would stop at that would purchase
such an end by such means, and they know
that it will not stop at anything sacred in
the law and will respect the rights of the
people in the North as little as it has done
in the South. Does the name of Grant fur
nish any guarantee for the future of the rad
icalsG The people are not ready to believe
it. Grant is politically only promise and
a possibility. Respectable men are not
willing to doubt his honesty or his upright
purpose but these do not always qualify
for success in such strife as he must con-
troll to save the people from his party. He
may prove capable; he mayhot, and it is a
time when the people cannot trust their flu
ture to such chance. Therefore the doom
of radicalism seems to be burned into the
popular brain, and on such reasoning as
we have limited the people appear to drift
toward what they regard as the least of two
evils, without faith in the republicans and
little hope in the democrats. Men on either
side count for little; it is the history of the
radical party that condemns it. Democra-
cy has bad history, too, but its sins are

THE NUMBER OF AMERICAN FIGHTING
Substituting the war our fighting ships
afloat numbered over five hundred. They
are now reduced to about eighty-screw-
sloops, paddle-wheels, frigates, guaboats,
store-ships, &c. Five of the most effective
of these are yet in the navy-yards, and
mount eighty-three guns; seven are with
Admiral Farragut, numbering also eighty
three guns; twelve, of one hundred and
thirteen guns, form the Asiatic squadron,
under Rear-Admiral Rowan; seven, with
ffty-seven guns, are with Rear-Admiral
Dahlgren, on the South Pacific station !;
Rear-Admiral Carven commands eleven
with one hundred and twenty-fouf guns,
on the North Pacific station; Rear-admiral
Davis has seven with seventy-fve guns, on
the South Atlantic stations; eight, with
seventy-three guns, are with Rear-Admiral
Hoff, on the North Atlantic station; while
Vice-Admiral Porter has thirteen, with one
hundred and forty-five guns, in the Naval
Academy squadron; and seven, with sew
enty three guns, are on the lakes and on
home stations.

Our reasons for thinking that we can car
ry most, if not all of these States, are as fol-
lows: 1t has been demonstrated that the
Democrats can carry Arkansas and Georgia,
as it required II days voting in one State
and days in the other to carry them for
the Radicals by small majorities. Large
numbers of the negroes are joining the
Democrats, and better than all, but one day
will be allowed for voting at the Presiden-
tial Election. With the military away and
but one day to vote, we may count safely
on Georgia and Arkansas.
In Illinois and Indiana, there was no
State elections last fall, but both States
were carried by the Democrats on the vote
for Judges and County Officers. These
elections afford no perfectly certain test, but
we may add that Chicago, which gave
Lincoln $4,000 majority in vote of %, 900
gave last spring a Democratic majority of
1000 in a vote a little larger.
In Kansas and Michigan, there were no
State elections last year, but in last Novem-
Der negro suffrage was defeated in Kansas
by majority of 5000, and this spring it
met the same fate in Michigan by $4,000
majority. These votes are sufficient to
make these States doubtful, to say the
least.
In Ohio we were defeated last year on
the Governor by s,9S3, though we cleo
ted the Legislature; we lost Wisconsin by
AGA and West Virginia by 1881. In these
three States the majority against us was o.
OPS in vote of655,S04. To overcome this
majority we must change 4,515 votes, or
in every 146. This change will certainly

THEATRES BURNT Down WITHIN THE
LAST HUNDRED YEARs.-The theatres of
Amsterdam, in 1872; Astleys Amphithea-
tire, in 1894, in 1880 and 1911; the Surrey
theatre, in 1905; Covent Garden, in 1908
and in 1855; Drury-lane, in 1909; the Abel
phi, at Edinburg, in 1858; the Lyceum, at
London, in 1890; the Falmouth, in 1899 I;
the Glasgow theatre, in 1880, 1929, and in
1S45; the Manchester theatre, in 1889 !;
the Olympic, in London, in 1849; her
Maiesty's theatre in 1888; the London Pa
Wilton, in 1856; the Quebec theatre, in 1885,
the Saragossa theatre, in 1888; the Rich
mond theatre (Virginia) in 1911, and again
in 1862; the Park theatre of New York, in
1913; and the Bowery theatre at three diff
ferent times; the Front street theatre, Bal
timore, in 1888, National theatre, Washing
ton, d. c., 1912. The burning of the Sara
gossa theatre cost the lives of six hundred
persons, and that of the theatre at Quebec
was nearly as disastrous. By the burning
of the theatre in Richmond, Va, in 1911,
some fifty lives were lost, including the
Governor and many prominent persons of
the State.

Cam The Democracy Ut"lls9

AS we have seen lately in the Radical
papers numerous estimates intended to show
the certainty of Grants election, we have
prepared the following table, giving what
we believe to be fair estimate of the pros
poets of our party in the coming struggle.
If Virginia, Texas and Mississippi are exclu-
ded from the Electoral College, the whole
number of votes cast viii be 296, making
149 the number necessary to elect. The
following States were carried in 1867 or
1858, and we regard them as perfectly safe

For The Ggis d Intelhgencer.
The Nest Ger the Door.
by PAUL DAGLEY.

This morning, while leaving my home for the day.
10 see II my sleepy all well or estray,
My mother came to me, and asked with a SMILE
Some rhymes the wreus that were chattering the
while
"Why write on tho wrens," replied, with surprise,
"A subject so trnng MCPHERSON would price,
While quickly thought the world. would approve
Some story ofstatesmen, of war, or of love.
My mother continued go poet before
Made rhymes a raven and on his Lenore"
ooh wcll,' replied, sit but gave him fright,
because no deceived her-it Sol we'd him Alright"
My mother ceased pleading, but ceased with sigh,
She wanted tho verses, but could not tell why,
Till womans quick logic her cause came to save
"That wren is IKE me" was. the reason she gave.
"But what would YOU do with the verses if made :"
finally asked, good morning babe;
kShe "would send to the Kgis, thesbest hecoud do
And say to the people twas written by you"
made her no promise, but won't on my way,
But thoughts of the wrens nesw were with me all day
Those wrenr made ehattoring, as seldom before
I've heard from birds nest right over the door
And hardly could bird with moro eagorness fly
To wait on the wants Of noisy young fry,
Than flew that poor bird though it never complained
But cheerfnly labored till all was obtained.
But If that old bird should e'er call on her young
To chirp DER the wren's nest ia music or song,
No doubt that the Young ones would honestly try;
So hcief to the old bird who taught me to fly
