TEE RESULT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
What the Newspapers Say OF II.

The result of the New Hampshire election Is
a leading topic for comment among newspa'
pers Of all shades of political opinion. The
general uDanimlty as to the Interpretation to
be put upon it among papers of each several
political afiliation is rather notable. We give
some extracts:
From the Brooklyn IN. ~ Eagle, Dem.l
The vote in New Hampshire was strict
party vote. and, In poll of sixty thousand,
the Republican candidate is elected by ma
jority of about fifteen hundred. The result
proves that If there be any perceptible dlsaf-
| feuion among the Republicans, by taking
measures to avail themselves of ii, the Demo
Gratis can insure change In the administra-
| ton of the government. The New Hampshire
election has slmpli1ed the political situation.
as confirming the Judgment OF those who are
| of opinion that for reasons satisfactory TO
| themselves the people are not yet desirous OF
| placing responsibility for the conduct OF the
government In the hands Of strict Demo-
cratic administration. With any dlsafection
In the Republican ranks, Grant cannot De re-
elected, and the independent non-ofhcehold-
ing Republicans will accept 1t as an evidence
that the administration of the government
can be placed IN competent hands, With very
little effort and very little sacrifice on the part
OF those who believe that change ts deslr-
able, and that the time has come when q
statesman and not soldier should be entrusted
to deal with q country still distracted by the
troubles which civil war has left us among
worst legacies.
From the New York Evening Post, Repl
There arc hosts of Republicans who earn
esty desire national canvass upon the great
questions of reform in the revenue laws and
reform in the civil service. We're the one
thing {the Democratic organlzaion) which
has been for half generation the main 0bsta-
Gle 10 all good government, peace anu pro-
gress In the nation. removed out OF the way,
there would be no difficulty In organizing
such canvass, and reform would run
through the land as watchword of triumph.
But that obstacle persists In remaining; that
Democratic organization, which is now but
conspiracy, keeps thrustlng Itself into our
Iaces, threatening to take advantage OF every
disagreement among patriotic citizens who
are not of 1t, and to use them as tools to get
the control of the nation. The New Hamp-
shire election Is but The latest Of many voices
of the people, declaring that this plot shall
never succeed.
From the Boston Post. Dem.l
This has been for the Democrats struggle
with the administration Itself, which has
thrown the whole strength of lis powerful Pc
cunlary influence into the State, to prevent
their complete redemption Of 1t this year. The
Democracy have done nobly, when their posi-.
ton and means are considered, and they re-
ceiye the sincere thanks of tue party through
out the country. They are not so entirely un-
accustomed to such results, ln view Of the In
fuences concentrated against them, as to be
discouraged into believing that their resolute
and patriotic work Is all to no purpose.
from the Boston Globe, Ind.l
AS 1t regards the Influence Of this election
upon that OF the national or Presidential CAM
paign, II seems to us to be constructive only.
The real interests which have settled the bat
tie In New Hampshire are far more local than
the politicians themselves are aware OF, OF In
other words, 1t has been q contest between
men rather than for measures Have we any
who can define to-day exactly what Is Repuo-
iicanism and what Ia Democracy
lFrom the chicago Times. Dem.l
The defeat Is abuUdantly compensated by
the moral which 1t affords. This moral Is en-
bodied in the obvious deduction that the
Democratic party alone stands no shadow OF
chance to prevent the reelection OF Grant.
The most hopelessly pig-headed Bourbon in
the party must now recognize the fact that
not carry more than one-third of the electo-
raj vote. 1t follows that the hope of rvsculng
the country from Imperialism and corruption
depends solely on the union of all the elements
OF opposition to secure this union and 10
achieve victory which 1t almost assures. 1t
Is necessary that the convention at Cincinnati
shall recognize the wide and spontaneous ex-
pressions Of popular approval that have been
elicited by the selection of the candidate
which was made at Columbus.
From the Richmond Va.) Enqulrer.l
The defeat of the Democrats in New Hamp-
shire may prove blessing In disguise. The
division In the Republican ranks would Ger.
tainly not have been widened by Democratic
vlc,oryin New Hampshire; it might, by nndnly
elatIng the Democrats, have led to the dis.
coura cement of that passive policy which has,
up to the present time, been 80 Wisely fol
lowed, and whose Immediate fruits were the
calhng of the Cincinnati Convention. That
movement will gather increased strength
now, and, If the Democrats are prudent, may
result in the overthrow of the administration.
It Is the policy of the Democratic party TO
wait and see what that convention Is going
to do.
