One Of the most important as well as interesting
SubernatoriI contests to take place In New Eng
land this year will be that which Is now naugurated
in this State. New Hampshire for years. 1t viii Do
remembered, ana by the veriest tyro IN political
matters. has hung in the balance between
the two great parties Of the nation. and
although the republican organization has generally
proved victorious IN the contests, Its triumph has
been achieved by majorities so small as to render
tho result comparatively Insignificant Last year
the canvass was very quietly conducted, and the
democrats succeeded In throwing the election
OF Governor luto the hands OF the Legislature
Then BY union Of their forces with those OF the
labor reformers, dickering operation, rs 1t was
called. they succeeded In securing majority OF
six votes on the joint ballot Of both houses
and the present democratic Governor, Mr.. Weston.
thereby secured his election. This was the first re.
publican defeat In New Hampshire since 1855, and
the republican party, knowing well that nobody but
themselves were blame for the result, have taken
counsel and determined this year to redeem the
State. Probably the largest vote that hos ever
been p0ned here will be cast on the SEQ
0nd Tuesday OF March next The republicans
IRE fully aroused to realization OF the situation.
and are determined, II individual ana collective
EFFORTS can eject It, elect their Governor to pre-
side over the administration OF the affairs OF tho
State. Really, though, or osrensibly rarher there
are four combinations which aspire 10 the control
or New Hampshire p0htcs-the republican, demo.
cratic, labor reform and temperance organizations
The republican party Is numerically the strongest
OF the four, the democratic. IKE everybody
who fights on the losing side, are the most despe-
rate and determined, and the others, who are
satisfied that they do nothing by themselves, are
Wailing to hang on the skirts OF anybody who will
promise to carry the letter and spirit OF their
cherished doctrines. Hence 1t 10 that the weaker
organizations hold the balance Of power, and are
virtually In the market for the highest bidder.
What the result may be is yet to be dscerned
although there is little doubt Of republican success
y the polls. Ezeklel A, Straw, their candidate for
Governor, nominated to-day, is q somewhat aged
individual. being upwards OF sixty years Of age,
ana represents the manufacturing interest OF the
state. He is quite popular in his native city Of
Manchester. and win probably defeat MI.
Weston, his democratic competitor there.
The democratic party have renominated
Governor Jonas A. Weston, OF Manoh ester; the
labor resormers have selected Mr.. Lemuel r. Cooper
farmer Of Croydon, as ther martyr at the polls,
me %sa ays Placed s III George
The !. gentlemen named above are per.
lonally popular throughout the State, and the
illustration OF the Interest," which is felt In its re-
suit was shown by the presence OF e. II. Rollins,
