much stock" in Gov. Harrman's letter to Sem
ator Morton, that San Domingo had nothing to
do with the republican defeat in that state The

on the neck of the republican party; and, to-
gether with the outrage on Senator Sumner,
had everything to do with our defeat" The
Nashua Telegraph and other papers fully agree
with the Monitor on this point.
The Nashua Telegraph of the oath says "Per-
haps no circumstance more wildly paints the
political humiliation of New Hampshire at the
present time than an incident that took place at
Washington last night. The three democratic
representatives from this state were dned and

| that pure and illustrious statesman, the Hon.
| Fernando Wood. The democratic senators and
representatives were present in full force, and
