Campaign Growth -

The political campaign grows In Interest as the day of the election approaches. Mr. Taft. Mr. Bryan, and the candidates of the minor parlies are addiweaing meeting® daily. Local quarrels In New York. Ohio aud WeR Virginia cause the national Republican leaders some solicitude. So many of the districts now represented in the House by Republicans wencarried two years ago by comparatively close votes that the political complexion of tha House to he chosen next month alsd gives some concern to the Republican leader®. The total • iectoral vote will be 483, and the successful candidate must, secure 242 electors.Most of the political estimate begin with conceeding to Mr. Bryan all tbo Southern States, with Oklahoma. The chief battle-grounds of the campaign are certain of the "Middle Western States, and New York. The 39 electoral votes of New York must make It the most Important single

factor in the contest.

Gardner's War Record

Anent the re-election of Congressman John J. Gardner, and the shouting of the Democrats that E. Burd Grubb, the Democratic Nominee, Is an old sold/er, it would not be amiss to at tbi« time to give a brief outline of the war record at Mr. Gardner as U appears on the books at the War

Department in Washington.

We find, by a pursual of the official records of the War Department that John J. Gardner was enrolled --U gust 9, 1861, as a private In Company G. Sixth New Jersey lnfantry Volunteers. to serve three years. He appears to have been present with the company, with the exception of a brief period of absence on detached service in the Summer pt 1862. until May 3, 1863, when he was wounded 'a action- at Chancellorsville. He was reported as absent on account of Unwound mentioned until September 1864, when his company was mus ed out Of service at Trenton. N. On a detachment mustered out : dated at the same place September 9. 1864, he was reported as mustered out of service as a private ou «jat date, the cause of Us discharge being stated on other records as "by rea- ■ son of expiration of ttgm of service. He was enrolled April 1. I860, at 1 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was mastered Into service the same day as a private in Company F.
