CONCORD March 1.-THE election in this State for
Governor members Of Congress, members OF TIE
Legislature and other State officers occurred to-day
Although the campaign has been an unusually
quiet one with apparent excitement, the returns
tonight show clearly that the Democrats with some
little assistance from the Liberal Republicans have
reelected the three Democratic Congressman, hessrs
E. A. Hibbard, S. n. Bell, and Il. ". Parker. over
Messrs. w. B. Small. A. Z. Pike, and S. g. Griffin,
the Republican nominees.
The contest for Governor has up 70 this hour, 10 p
H. been very close resulting without a choice by
the people. To elect the Governor requires ma
jority over onehalf the total lumber OF votes cast
The Legislature will be Republican In the House,
while the Senate will stand SIX Republicans, four
Democrats, withino choice for two members.
Within the past six days a great reaction has
taken place among the people of the State Returns
from 112 towns show loss of 400 votes 10 Gov.
Straw.
The recent Credit Mobilier exposure and the
Salary bill has caused great dissatisfaction among
the leading Republicans, while the opposing party
have been earnestly at work. Should the election,
after the full returns received for Governor, si
keep without choice, the duty Of choosing GoV-
ernor will devolve upon the Legislature In joint con-
venticn, the election 20 take place next June.
The result of to-day's election sends honest men
TO Congress-men who are known by their past
record. and w-Hampshire feels proud to lead the
column for Reform.
