President Grant on the Political Campaign
The Difficulties of Governor Tilden Graph
ioally Portrayed

The President said last week to a
Louisiana politician that he did not
expect the Republican party to carry
any southern States, except the two
Carolinas and Louisiana, but that i'll
these States the Republicans would
receive substantial assistance from
Washington. Since then he has ex-
pressed to several prominent politi-
clans some of his ideas of the cam
paign. He remarked that the divi-
sion between the eastern and western
Democrats gave great advantage to
the Republicans, that if Governor
Tilden's letter proved to be strong
and outspoken for hard money this
would lose Indiana and Ohio to the
Democrats in October, and that if
these States in October go against the
Democrats this would so encourage
the Republicans as to give them Lou
isiana and North and South Caro- lima
by considerable majorities, and prob
ably also New York and some other
doubtful States in November.
But, OH the other hand, if Governor
Tilden should trim in his letter with
view to carrying Indiana, then he
woul undoubtedly sacrifice New York
and the other eastern States, which he
must gain to secure the election.
Hence, he thought, Mr.. Tilden has q
very difficult task before him III the
writing of his letter.

A personal letter from Martinsburg,
w. ", to the Columbus, o., Journal,
gives the following laughable incident:
"The Tildenites had a meeting and
torchlight-procession here last Friday
evening. Patterson of Colorado, Har-
rison of Illinois. and Hardenberg of
New Jersey, all NJ. C's., addressed the
unterrified. During Patterson's re-
marks he bawled out: who is Gov.
Hayes? Who knows him?' A Johnny
sitting in tree near by yelled out /:
Il do. l shot at him during the war 2 I"

Where They Propose to Get in Their Work

Ii is said that the Democratic mana
gers backed by the millions of Tweed
and Wall Street have determined to
concentrate their money on five States
New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, Indiana and Wisconsin If they
can carry these States they say they
will be safe as a.solid South is counted
upon.

GARDEN PLAINS, KANSAS
August It'll, 1876.
EDITOR EAGLE: SIR Permit me to
occupy small space in the columns
of your excellent paper-to urge upon
the voters of the 93rd representative
district, comprising all the western
and southern portion of our county,
the Importance of selecting first-class
man to represent them, and their in
terests in the next Legislature.
In this centennial year, the best men
of each party are being selected as
candidates for Office from one end of
the Republic to the other. With US
the election of Representatives as
sumes more than usual importance
from the fact of being new district
and as such entitled to a Representa-
tive for the first time. This Legisla-
ture elects U. S. Senator. a review
of the history of Kansas will illumi-
nate the reader on this subject. 1t is
rumored that quite a sprinkling of
Candidates scattered with some regu-
larity throughout the district are will
ing to sacrifice themselves for the good
of their constituents. OF the number
we might name three OF four, but shall
be content to merely single out that of
Col. Il. ID. Fouts of Morton township,
Clown %, range Vest whose credit
able notorietv as a Legislator in Indi-
ana, whose fidelity to the party ever
since its inception, whose spotless re-
cord as soldier will do honor to
Sedgwick County and especially to the
93rd district composed almost exclus-
lively of farmers-himself an lntelli-
gent, practicable farmer-should they
see fit to nominate him to the office.
OF all other years, let us this year
have the ''right man in the right place,
call along the line" Without mean-
ing to detract from the merits of any
other aspirants for this position | mere
ly pen this as food for reflection to all
whom it may concern.
Respectfully 5.
We might add to "S's" suggestion
that Geo. Litzenberg, Maj. Burr, DIR.
Durand and Squire Ross have also
been spoken of, all of whom as well as
Mr.. Fouts are excellent men.

1. 0. 0. F. Centennial Excursion, Committee.

SECRETARY's OFFICE.
ATCHIsoN, July 26, 1876.
Our efforts to procure Special EX-
cursion Rates have proved fruitless,
and the arbitrary stand taken by Rail-
road companies, refusing to make any
concession other than their present so
called "Centenniaf rate, leaves us
without hope. The lists received foot
1900 tickets, 1000 of which were con-
tingent upon S25 round trip rate and
this fact. together with that of un-
reasonable demands of so many sub
scribers for multitudinous routes, or
any route which they might choose,
prevented the hope OF making arrang-
ments over any one chosen route, or at
a rate more than $25, which cannot be
had. While the Railroad companies
positively refuse to grant any conces-
sion from their Centennial" rate, at
present, yet they give hope for belief
that a Special Excursion rate, good for
thirty days, will be granted before the
close of the Centennial season. which
will be open to the general public;
therefore, the Committee being salts
fed that they cannot accomplish the
purpose for which appointed, will
cease further effort.

The following report of the city
of Wichita, made by the Clerk, w. Z.

Board.
To the Board of Education of the
Cityof Wichita, Kansas.
GENTLEMEN: herewith present to
you for your consideration the enum-
Grafton Of persons of school ages
within the city of Wichita for the year
1876, as follows:
Number OF Females. 80 . 1928
Total Number OF School Age 707
These figures are significant and we
present the discouraging lesson they
teach to the committee on buildings,
and the committee on teachers for
their fearful and paycrful considera
ton.
Prior to the year 1873, we have no
record of the proceedings of the
board or the number within school
ages in the city. The clerk and his
records are non est iarentaS, and to-
gether have gone where the woodbine
twineth. But since that time the
records UP to the present time pre-
sent the following figures

The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1876-08-10

This remarkable increase of l67, or
about one-third Of the whole number
in single year is suggestive of grave
difficulties ahead, or rather the 707
scholars for which this board is ex-
pected to provide school facilities
with levy of eight mills, the limit
fixed by law.
AS it required time and experiment
to develop the fact of the fitness of
the country for corn, wheat and pota-
toes, so it has taken time and expert
ment to develop the no less impor-
tant fact of the fitness of the country
for children.
Those who advocate the peopling of
of this valley as the most efectual and
speedy way of developing its resources
will rejoice in the new school census
of Wichita, and see in it the prospects
of the realization of their fondest
dreams. This is prolific country,
and we have for the past two years
been filling the ears of listeners with
our unceasing boasts of unrivaled
wheat crops, but we must stop awhile
and realize, if we can, that our Won
derful productions of wheat is second
to our wonderful production of babies,
the new offspring of the first settlers
have attained school age, and they
have swollen the number with Won
derful effect. The most perplexing
question is, where will it all end.
To resign our positions as members
of the board now will show lack of
backbone, aud to retain them will
make us the conspicuous marks of the
attacks of all those who are dissatis-
fed with schools which eight Solons
could not, under the circumstances,
make satisfactory.
This Centennial year is good one
for martyrs, and as the public schools
are the pride and glory of Kansas, it
may not be quite so hard to be offered
up on this altar as some others. But
we need not get discouraged. for the
wisest use of our best philosophy may
find something encouraging in our
hard duties, and each member may
find, in the annual treat Of ice cream
and cake, furnished by the President,
and which constitutes the entire sala-
nv of each member, sufficient remune-
ration for all the curses he will get
and all the disappointments he will
feel. Respectfully,
w. E. STANLEY, Clerk.
