more rapiditylthan 1t now does. In addition to
the security furnished by this vessel herself, which
would be more, in proportion to the advance pro-
posed, than that afforded by other vessels, the
government would have been guaranteed by the
active resources of the company, furnished by
well-establlshed business. The policy of the gov.
eminent, which led to the formation of these cons
tracts, would have been carried out. The United
States want steamships afoat, ready to be taken
into their service If occasion require 1t. 1t seems
to have been sad oversight to have neglected this
opportunity of Fastening the completion Of the
Franklin, well as gross act OF partiality, which
ought not to have appeared on the records of Con
gress. 1t was consistent policy to have promoted
the views of those companies who had not yet suc-
ceeded in getting ship afloat; but it was very
inconsistent with that policy to have neglected
that one which had already done SO much at such
a sacrifice and which. as pioneer in the onset,
had encountered and overcome difficulties which,
we repeat, lay in the way of all enterprises of the
kind. But 1t is reasonable to expect the ensuing
session of Congress will, doubt, place this mat.
ter right 1t was brought before them late last
session, and under unfavorable circumstances
The cause, however, is just one, and has gained
strength by the delay; and all those members OF
Congress who have had the subject before them
and all the facts connected with it, cannot fail to
be impressed favorably toward 1t, and feel desl-
rous of granting 1t that equal measure of Justice
which it rightfuly demands.

TELEGRAPHIC NTELLIGENCE,


HAREssDUReH, Oct 10, l84S.
The official returns from fifty three counties give
Johnston majority of 1898; in eight other counties
there for Longstreth reported msoses amounting
altogether to 2,O21, the subtraction Of which from
Johnstons msjerites lea7es him 302 ahead The full
vote will not vary much from this.
The wings will have majority of nine joint
ballot in the legislature, although IT is probable that
there will be tie in the lower house.
The Congressional delegation will stand fifteen
wings and nine democrats.
New Hampshire Democratic State Conven-
CoNcoRD, N. H., Oct 10, 1913.
The democratic State convention met in the state
House, at 10 O'clock this morning, and was organised
by appointing the Hon. Chas G. Alberto President,
and General Pierce and Jared w. Williams, Vice Pre-
sdents.
The present incumbent declined the nomination for
Governor.
Speeches made by Messrs. Anterior, Nudge,
Grove, and Gen. Pierce. The latter greeted en-
Enthusiastically on his appearance In the convention
He said that when he resigned his seat in the u 8.
Senate, he desired to retire from political Office
but not from his party. He looked back with pride
upon the history of the democratic party for the last
twenty years. During that time the wings had been
continually predicting ruin to the country but under
democratic rule 1t had enjoyed unexampled pros
perity. The wings had repudiaed all their principles
The principles Of a party constitute party. The
wings had no platform; therefore longer q
party. The democrats had not failed any where to
avow for what they were contending. They went for
Csss and Butler, because they the impersona-
tions of their principles He believed that man
was permitted to believe that Taylor was not with
them. 1t was idle to ask Taylor's opinion on any
great question at ISSUE He could demonstrate that
Ohio and Pennsylvania for Cass, as New
Hampshire. The pathway before the democratic
party open, and the sky clear and bright.
Judge GoUE wished to know If General Taylor would
appoint Daniel Webster Secretary of State, and dis
member New Hampshire, and give part Of to the
British some other power! He characterised the
dismemberment Of Maine, as bad that of Poland.
SAMUEL DINsMoRE, of Keene, was nominated for
Governor, on the second ballot.
set Of resolutions expressing their
to stand by the democratic PLATFORM declaring that
nomination which not fit be made as not ht to
be supported.
