New Hampshire Election.


CONCORD, N. H., March 1913 Pm.
The following is list Of the candidates supported
b the several parties at State election which
took place Tuesday, the same as was given in the
HERALD Of that day.
FOR GOVERNOR.
Noah Martin. James Bel. John II. White.
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
B. Fl. Plaisted. Joseph Sawyer. John Cove
FOR REPRESENTATIVES, CONGRESS.
G. W. Morrison A P. Hughes. john Preston.
Barry Hibbard* Jared Perkins. Jared Perkins,
*Members Of the last Congress.
In the last Congress the State had four members
of Congress. Two of them-Charles II. Peaslee,
Gust appointed Collector Of the port of Boston and
Harry Hibbard-were democrats. The other two,
Amos Tuck and Jared Perkins, were chosen by a
coalition between the wings and freesoilers Here at
home they were claimed by both Of those parties,
while in Congress they set themselves down as whgs
Mr.. Tuck left the democratic party with John p.
Hale, in 1885, and was originally nominated for Con-
gress by the Hale, abolition party. Mr.. Perkins
was formerly a whig or federalist, but was
also started for Congress by the abolitonists.
By the new apportionment the State has lost one
member of Congress the number to which she is now
entitled being three instead of four. 1t will be seen
that the wings and freesoiers united, on Tuesday
last, and supported the candidates in COnsres
sional districts Nos. and g. In No. similar un-
ion was attempted, but did not succeed. A portion
OF the whig branch cOntended that they had surren
dered to the reesoiers in the other DISTRICTS and
refused to 60 for Preston (aboti0nist) the latter
insisted on running, and hence the attempted coal
ton failed.
Returns from about two-thirds of the towns render
it certain that the democrats have carried nearly
everything on their State ticket. They have chosen
their Governor by majority increased from 100 to
6 900 or 6,OO0, and Railroad Commissioner by an
ouuQ v0tn. Oul nun of fho
twelve Senators has been chosen by the opposition.
-Four of the five Councillors, ALSO are democrats The
democrats have also carried eight OF the ten county
tickets, and increased their last years majority in
the House from thirty up to sixty or seventy.
They have also elected all three of their Congress
men, Messrs. Kittridge, Morrison and Hibbard, not
simply by the requisite plurality OF votes, but by
large majorities, thus giving New Hampshire
united delegation in both branches of Congress, and
dispensing for season at least, with the services
of three abolitonists, Messrs J. p Hale in the Uni
ted States Senate, and Tuck and Perkins, in the
House. Mr.. Hibbard, the late able and popular
member from the northwestern section of the
State, is the only reelected. General Peaslee,
Of the most efficient and Industrious members of
the last Congress, retres after six years service,
and will doubtless prove an excellent head Of the
Custom House at Boston. He is succeeded by Mr..
Morrison, q gentleman of much energy and ability,
who has already been in Congress short time,
having been chosen to fill the unexpired term occa-
stoned by the resignation OF General James Wilson,
(whig), when appointed by General Taylor Sur
yeyor General of California, in 1S49 Messrs Hibbard
and Morrison are both young men, and prominent
members of the New Hampshire bar. DR.. Kittridge,
who ncceeds Mr.. Tuck, is physician. This is the
third 6me he has opposed the latter as candidate
the contest between them at former elections having
been extremely close. Returns from two-thirds Of
the towns in his district indicate that Dr. KS majo
rity over Mr.. Tuck will not fall below 500. Mr.
Morrison's plurality over Hughes will reach $500
Mr. Hibbard beats Perkins by from 1000 to 5000.
So much for the present condition of the political
atmosphere in the Presidents native State. The
election has resulted as have already predicted in
the HERALD, only the democratic majority is con-
siderably larger than had anticipated especially in
Kittridges district, where the ''aes' had strong
hopes Of reelecting Tuck. The whig party seems to
have literally caved in. 1t is at present. non est Yer

of abotionism." The returns also show that its ad

Mr.. Haes agents, Foster and Pillsbury, has failed
