| tne plates could not be used. Right after
! supper this evening the venerable William
butterheld, chief editor OF tho paper came
into the ofllce. rushed into the composing
room and ordered the birds to be brought out OF the
drawer In which they had lain for two-thirds OF a
decade, and to be placed In the rorm 80 that they
might appear In all their glory In to-morrow,s
paper MIR. Butterfeld has endured good deal OF
joking about these roosters during the last seven
years, and many offers for their purchase have been
made by The republicans but he has steadfastly re-
fused to sell. and now. at last, he has found a use
for Them
GETTING INTERESTED
AS the ShaueS OF evening approached there
seemed to be faint manifestations OF excitement
mingled with the prevailing astcnishment. The
newspaper Offices were thronged with those
anxious for the latest returns. The demo-
cratic journals. OF course. attracted tho
largest crowds, and as the successive de-
spatches came In, the demonstrations, when the
news was favorable, were exceedingly enthusiastic
Some OF the barrooms dispensed spirtuous beverages
gratutousy, and the usual consequences Of lbe
rality were numerous at midnight tho street.
Early in the evening 1t was dincult to perceive any
material change In the behavior of the numerous
loungers hereabouts. There were Just as many
promenaders as last night and have been for
month past, and few OF them seemed
TO betray any very remarkable degree OF
interest In the great question which had
been agitating the State OF New Hampshire.
Whether 1t was civil engineer or a Methodist par
son who was to control their deshnles during the
coming twelve months seemed, so far as all outward
appearances were concerned, to make but little Dir
ference to them, and they gosslpped about matters
and things in general, with very few slight and
occasional references to ,he election n 1t or
no more import than the purchase OF glass or
cider or the arrangement Of order OF dancing at
popular ball.
THE CURBsTONE POLITICIANS.
There were little clusters OF politicians here and
there. as might naturally be expected and their
curbstone councils were almost as varied In their
nature as the disposition OF the men who took part
In them One Old farmer whose rubIcundity OF
countenance indicated his political persuasion after
listening quietly to the comments OF the three or
or four by whom he was surrounded broke out with
the expianative:-
"Well, fellows. III tell you just how it is I'm just
as white democrat as ever there was In New
Hampshire-0ne Of the real old Andrew Jackson
sort-aud so was my father and grandfather Any
OF us would have sold our last carload OF potatoes
TO nave carried this election Independently OF the
cursed republicans; but II it hadn't have been
for Charles Sumner we would never have
done thing. Never mind, though, boys
poor tools are better than TOOLS Because we
couldn't utilize the pesky abotionist once or twice
before, 1t doesn't follow that we shouldn't praise
him now"
"That's so;" "rhat's So" was heard all around the
circle as they separated, and there dozens Of
expressions about Main street all Of the me tenor
and effect. The general feeling seemed to be that
the victory Of to-day was not SO much a
triumph Of the principles OF democracy as 1t was
the result Of split III the republican ranks and the
end Of the conflict was received with deinonstra-
tions accordingly.
AN OPINION.
An anxious inquirer, who had been patiently lis
teninR to the harangues OF disappointed politician
Just outside the Phoenix Hotel, asked the question
whether, If the canvass had been more spirited
there would have been any change in the develop
ment OF to-day, but was answered by an omin0us
shake of the head.
"Its no use,n said the respondent the doom OF
the republican party was sealed just sum-
ner, Trumbull Sherman and the rest Of those big
fellows were kicked out Of It, Grant has just killed
his political prospects by his own obstinacy ana he'd
better do what he can to heal the wounds which he
has made instead Of making them cape still wider
OPEN"
DEMONSTRATIONS
This seemed to be the impression everywhere
among both democratic and republican politicians
and 1t was gven vent sometimes In language more
forcible even than that quoted above. The
demonstrations neither numerous nor
A party OF young men, with fshhorns,
tin pans and dilapidated tenor DRUMS paraded the
streets, making night hdeous with their noise but
there were no manifestations Of enthusiasm worthy
OF detailed notice. The great hurrah is probably
reserved for the latter part Of the week.
EMPHATICALLY DEMOCRATIC.
The returns are amply sufficient to warrant the
seemingly extravagant statement that the State has
gone most emphatically democratic As close this

have been heard from. They show 2s,2A votes for
Mr. Pike, the republican candidate, and 2s 139 for
Mr.. Weston, the democratic nominee. The tenn
perance and labor reform candidates combined have
only 1856 votes In the same towns.
wESToN's MAJORITY.
There are now about fifty towns to be heard FROM
nearly all Of them democratic in yeals past, and
probably great deal more so this year. II they
only hold their own Mr.. Weston will be Governor
by . thousand majority, and even the republi-
cans yield him this. The democrats reckon how
ever that his majority will not be less than
fifteen hundred, and they are probably more nearly
correct inasmuch as the hundred and seventy-two
towns heard from show republican loss OF 2,476
from last year. The very lowest and reasonable
innate Of Westons majority, therefore, cannot be
less than thousand. and not republican estimates
otherwise.
THE ENTIRE CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION DEMO.
All three OF the democratic Congressional candi-
dates chosen to supplant the present republican
members They are Eilery A. Hubbard, OF Laconia,
In the First district; Samuel N Bell, OF Manchester,
In the Second district, and Hozea W. Parker, Of |
Claremont, in the Third district.
THE LEGISLATURE
will stand I've republicans In the Senate to seven
democrats, and in the House Of Representatives,
body OF $50 men-there Will be republican |
majority OF about twenty. OF the i've Executive |
Councillors chosen three are democrats ana two |
republicans. This is the record OF the democratic
triumph IN New Hampshlre--the first In seventeen
years.
