is the candidate OF the temperance men, while Hon.
Samuel Flint, of Lyme is the candidate OF the new
party, known as tile labor reformers
This new party, which gives promise Of hereafter
controlling the politics of New Hampshire, sprung
suddenly into existence fully armed and equipped,
like Minerva from the brain OF Jupiter, ana for q
time seemed likely without serious struggle, to
strike down all the old parties and to obtain bril-.
liant victory in the State In its first year. The
party originated in the determination OF the masses
OF the people no longer to be controlled and taxed
by capitalists and bondholders, but to have some
Legislation and political action for the benefit Of the
poor as well as OF the rich, and the movement also
gained force from the desire or many active and In
nuential politicians of the state to be emancipated
from the or cligues which have heretofore gov
erned both parties with rods OF IRON.
