NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECrIoN.-The
election in New Hampshire occurs next
Tuesday. There seems to have been a
much quieter campaign in the Granite
state than usual. The democratic fac
lions are pretty thoroughly united this
year, and the Labor Reform party have
ticket in the field which fact would
seem to make the unanimity of the Re
publican forces all the more important.
We shall look for good report from
New Hampshire next week.

is what the Bessemer system accomplishes
and, Notwithstanding its recent origin
and introduction, it has been most extern

that the metal is kept fluid from the be.
