New YORK, March 15.-The Tribune
of this morning, says that the Republi-
cans in New Hampshire yesterday seems
to have lost the Governor, all the Con-
gressmen, the Council and probably the
Senate, while the House is only claimed
for the Republicans by a majority of from
10 to 20 in a body of over 800 members,
and that on a vote from 165 towns. The
Republican gain on last years vOteis 900.
while the Democrats gain is 4,436, a net
gain of 2,476.
The Tribune then adds that New
Hampshire has not become Demooratic.-
This vote means mainly, if not wholly,
that Republican apathy, born of over
confidence and continuous triumphs for
sixteen years. and Republican disaffectiOn,
engendered by local quarrels, liquor and
the unwise and untimely Sumner trouble,
The World has special returns from
New Hampshire and sums up the result
in that State as follows aFhe Democrats
have elected Governor and Railroad Com
missiOners, 1.-TWO certainly and probably
three Congressman, and a majority of the
