certain and unsatisfactory are the probabilities Of
the result. The republicans have completed their
canvass Of the State, but they refuse to give the
figures for publication, and this the democrats look
upon as an admission OF weakness. member Of
the republican committee. who has had access
to che concealed figures, tells me that 1t
does not differ materially from last years
canvass. and also assures me that his party has
abandoned the idea Of an election by the people
and that the question will 60 before the Legislature
the same as 1t did IN 1871. This, may add, Is an
opinion prevailing among some Of the democrats,
although there are few Of the leaders who insist
that Mr.. eston and the entire democratic ticket
will be perpetuated IN power by the popular VOTE
ALLEGED DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS
Within day or two there has been new sensa
tlon In both parties In consequence or the discovery
OF past present or prospective frauds on the part
of the democracy. The republicans charged that
stupendous outrage has been devised and
is being carried into eject by the Demo-
cratic State Committee through democratic select
men. The story Is that John G. Sinclair,
chairman OF the committee. mas actually instructed
democratic selectmen to exclude the names OF as
many republican voters as possible from the check
lists and insert thereon the names Of democrats not
entitled to the right of suffrage, and assured them
that If prosecuted for their wicked and fraudu-
lent conduct the Democratic State COMMITTEE will
defend them In the Courts and indemnify them
against all loss and expense. 1t Is further
alleged that tile thing has been carried far that
an exact calculation has been made and selectmen
have been Instructed precisely what number ORE

triumph OF the democracy throughout the state.

have been added to the check list.
MR.. SINCLAIR DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACHMENT.
Mr.. Sinclair pOltlvey denies the Charges, and
offers ST. 900 TO each and everybody who will prove
them TO be true. The charges and the denial come
other upon the election, but rather late TO be
proved or disproved until after the warm political
denials are much commented upon by both parties
and there are wide diherences Of opinion concern
ing the truth OF the allegations.

CONCORD, N. H., March I, 1872.
Politics here at the capital are getting very warm,
and the usual business OF the city likely to suffer
until the campaign Is over. Nothing else but poll
tics Is talked or and scarcely anything else thought
OF. The impression Is becoming almost universal
at this point that the popular election will fail to
elect Governor and that after all the contest Will
be In the Legislature; and with this idea both par
ties lndusriously engaged in arranging for the
the fact that money Is to be and Is being freely
used Is no longer concealed. The republicans are,
without doubt, the most literally supplied, for
heavy assessments have been levied In Washington
and III the Boston. and probably the New York,
