In eHecting the permanent organization Mason
W. Tappan, OF Bradford an openly avowed Greeley

Mr.. Tappan made speech upon taking the chair,
but was very careful and n0n-cOmmitta I'm every
word he uttered. Referring to the rescuing OF the
state nom the democrats ct the last election he
went on to say that that result not brought
about by the efforts OF any one man or any set OF
men, but by the resolve and earnest determi-
nation OF the republican party throwing aside all
past differences to rescue this State from the grasp
OF the democratic party, Into whose hands it had
also as striking the keynote OF the Presidential
campaign on which we are entering. az showing
the uninstakabe DRIFT OF the people in reference to
the principles and policy which carried ms 30
triumphantly through the war and which have
guided the nation since and, gentlemen, whatever
complications may enter into the present cam
pagn, whatever parties and organizations may
come to the surface one thing is clear to my mind
and that Is that the democratic party, as great
national organization will never again control the
dcstinies OF this republic. II cannot triumph in the
coming campaign. Its record during the war and
people Tor them ever again to entrust 1t with the
administration or public afIairs.
NARROWING THE DEMOCRATIC RANKS.

this broad land shall stand to mark the hallowed
memories of Union soldier so long as the agony

single dollar OF our great national debt shah remain
unpad-aye. so long as this great nation itself,
saved by the blood OF so many OF her patriot sons,
shall have an existence on the EARTH SO long will
the democratic party be remembered the one
which, when the life OF the nation trembling in
the balance gave the weight OF ts influence to
those who were in arms to destroy it.
REPUBLICANS ALL AND IN ALL.
On the other hand the republican party has
record ttut Will never perish. Dtlt brighter
and brighter as the ages roll around. 1t has done
more to dfgnfy and cnnoble labor, 1t has done more
to elevate the poor and loWy, 1t has done more to

throughout the world, than any other political or

tcal fact Of what before was but gttering
theory-that all men are created equal and en-
dowed by their Creator with inalienabe rights,
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, and, thank God, whether
the days OF the republican party shall hereafter he
many or few, the principles which IL has borne so
proudly aoft have become a part OF the settled
policy OF the nation; they have been engrafted into

zation that may arise In the future, can ignore

ciples to the end. Referring to the recent divisions
in the republican party Mr. Tappann said that
were apparently arrayed against 1t, ana new par
ties were moving into the field. All this had no
terrors for him, for he believed the hand Of Provi-
dence would guide them through all the dark and
trying scencs that out of the complications good
VIII come, and that this great nation would move
on to the fulflment of its high and noble destiny.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE sENATORsHIP.
The proceedings OF the Convention having been
acknowledged to be OF the common "cut and
dried'' order, much opportunity given to dis
cuss the rotation question, IL at present applies
to the choice OF United States Senator in place OF
Joseph w. Patterson the present incumbent This
next to the Presidential situation, is the most ex
citing question which agitates the Granite State
politicians and threatens to be disturbing element
In the republican party affairs. The State has
many men In the dominant party who are able and
ambitious. Correspondngly In 1870 there was q
vacancy in the Senatorial Office to be filed; but in
stead OF filing the place with one OF those aspiring
men, 1t was given to Senator Cragn. This offence
1t IL claimed, was punished by the surrender Of the
State to the democrats in 1871 the more in
fiuential republicans all over the State having pro-
tested against continuation OF efforts which only
exalted mediocrfty, as they expressed 1t, and
ignored the recognition OF the services Of the
working men, whose energies had kept the party
alive during the last fifteen years of its existence
This very practical rcbuke, 1t was thought, would
cure the leading men Of any further
DESIRE TO IGNORE THE ROTATION SYSTEM
In the matter OF the United States Senatorshp, but
II that 1t is not Senator Patterson has been
ten years In Congress and refuses to retire. and is
a candidate for another six-year term although he
succeeded Hon. Daniel Clark on precisely the same
pleaas to the imperative policy of rotation which
of deep offence as the general people recognize It,
and II Patterson succeeds in getting elected to an
other term II Will be In opposition to the many
active workingmen OF the republican party in the
state, and chaos may come out OF 1t. The common
style OF prophesying is that II the Legislature
elects Patterson over any of the candidates Of
working republicans that party may begin in
stantly thereafter to dig its grave In New Hamp-
shire without the risk Of digging it too deep, for
there can be no prospective resurrection.
THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE
take politics very much to heart at all times; they
are always earnest in their treatment but one who
knows the general feeling, and indeed any one may
gather It's anmus who meets half q dozen men any
where says that he never knew time when dis
integration Of the republican party was more
threatening than 1t would be II the rotation system
is repudiated and Patterson sent for another term
to Washington. This imminent danger induces grave
consideration, and there several Senatorial
candidates In the field And it seems that noses
have been counted and that the calculations are
that on an Informal caucus ballot Patterson will
have 20 votes, Rollins, So; Stearns, 3d. and other
candidates the balance OF the 210 votes OF the
party. IL is also pretty certain that all those can
didates In opposition to Patterson will cOalesce
against him, In which event Rollins will likely be
the man, but white men are proverbally uncertain,
and II may be otherwise. At all events, rotation
greatly bothers the dominant party here just now,
and there will be lively scrimmage for the Sena.
