CoHooRp, n " March The Democrats
OF the old Granite State just received their annual
tho hayf hppn Ia
their rout In 1855 on the Nothing The candi
for Governor to-day the Hon. onslow searns
OF Concord and John Bede OF Bath Mr. steRrns is
gentleman closely allied to the leading railroads and
commercial interests OF NewEngland being President OF
the Northern Railroad OF this State, and the Old
Colony Railroad Of Massachusetts,. He Is about
IS years Of age and largely entered into politics
except as a silent reflective worker in the Republican
ranks Two years ago he was the rival candidate OF
Gen Walter Hartman in the Republican Convention,
and receiving the nomination. which he grace
fully yielded TO Gen. Hartman. His friends and prom
nent Democrats urged him 70 bolt and run Independently
but he very magnanmousy refused to counenance the
split and gave all his influence and efforts TO his
full competitor. At tho last State Convention he
was rewarded with the unanimous nomination, and is
elected to-day by largely increased majority over last
year The Manchester Mirror, Republican last year OPP
posed the nomination OF Mr. searns bitterly, and gave
circulation 10 numerous scurrous articles concerning
| u
year. and circulated throughout the state. These edito
rails reflected only upon Mr. steaFnss railroad manage
ment as lis personal integrity is unQues-
| toned. The opposition, too, relied largely
| upon local and conflicting railroad interests,
to defeat him, but reckoned without their host The
Democratic GubernatOrial candidate BrevetBrga-
der.Gen John Bede OF Bath He has never been poll
tcan until he consented be defeated last Fall on the
Seymour ticket. He earned good record In the war,
going out as major Of OF the earliest New Hampshire
regiments In all the characteristics Of gentleman be
unmpeachabe Also and he has foolshly sacrificed his
wedeseryed laurels to-day by leading the Copperhead
van Last year the total vote OF the State was T,07
| out OF which Hartman (Rep) had 2.49S majority
over all others The OF Representatives stood lvA
Republicans to Democrats, and the Senate RePub
cans 20 Democrats The probability now Is that the
Republicans gain a dozen Representatives and ono Sem
ator In 1867 the Republican members OF Congress were
elected by the following plurates Ist District Jacob H.
Ella sa lid District Aaron f. Stevens $780, lid District
