There is some speculation in political circles
a. to the result OF the annual election in New
Hampshire of Governor, Congressman, MEM
bers OF the legislature, &C., which takes place
TOMORROW. There are four tickets in the field .
and the respective candidates for Governor
are:-E- A. Straw, of Manchester, republican:
James A Weston, of Manchester, demo-
crst; 5. h. Mason, of Bristol, liberal republican:
and DIR. John Blaekmer, of Sandwich, prohibit
tion- Last year the same gentlemen with the
exception Of the liberal republican candidate,
were voted for, and Governor Straw was chosen
by a little over thousand majority, less by five
thousand than the republican strength brought
out IN November at the Presidential election.
Governor Straw's majority this year will neces-
ssrily be small, as the democrats have recovered
from the Generalization of the Presidential
campaign. The liberal republicans do not dis
pay much activity, and il Il not probable that
they Will poll over one thousand votes while if
a not likely that the prohibition candidate will
get that many. The republicans assert their
ability to reflect Governor Straw by at leas,
leo majority, and that the house of represent
atiyes will have a good working republican
majority, while the senate will probably be
composed OF eight republicans and four demo-
Gratis.
The Chances are decidedly in favor of the cleo
u"h Vi ftPuDncan congressman from all three
districts, although the state is now represented
by three democrats, elected in 1871, when that
Party gained partial control of the government
OF the state by a trade with the labor reform
element In the first district Mr.. Hibbard had
a majority Of two hundred and fifty nine. but.
notwithstanding he is backed this year by both
the democrats and liberal republicans, il is
beIieved that his competitor, William b. Small.
OF Newmarket, will be elected. In the second
ui'uict Samuel N Bell, OF Manchester, was
erected by majority of eight hundred and

The Campaign Against the MOnopO.

The organiz ed movement against the railroad
monopolists is increasing rather formidably.
We have already noticed the progress Of the
movement in the western states, and new de-
velopments are being made every day. The
issue l. being sharply made there whether the
monopolies are superior to the State or smena-
lie to its laws. In Illinois the test has been dis
tinctly made by an act of the legislature fixing
the rate of passenger fare at the maximum of
three cents mile. Under this law some of the
Citizens of Mclean county, travelling over the
Chicago and St. Louis road, refused to pay more
than this rate, and the company commenced suit
against them, and now there is a proposition
before the legislature pleigiug the power of the
State to resist the suits. The legislature cannot
refuse to stand by its own acts; and a settle
ment OF the controversy in the courts of final
resort il thus ensured.
Elsewhere we note the spread of the anti
monopoly idea. In Boston, an anti-monopoly
association has been formed, having for its
purpose specially TO organize an opposition to
the gigantic railroad combinations which over
shadow all other interests, and bring them to
terms that will benefit the travel and traffic of
the country. IL il intended to extend the asso-
citation through the states, and so organize pop
ular influence that il may be employed with
effect in the legislatures of the states and in
Congress. Even i'm New Jersey, the very lai-
Of the railroad monopolists, a general railroad
iiii has been passed by the Assembly allowing
any company to build a road.
Various modes of regulating the railroad
business of the country in behalf OF the people,
asaeainst the monopolists, have been suggested.
hut the most direct il that brought forward by
MIR. Charles Francis Adams, Dr., in an address
before committee of the Massachusetts, legisla-
ture in behalf of the State board of railroad COM
missioners. Mr.. Adams assumes that the State
l. bound to interfere ''when any branch of the
business of the community is so monopolized
that citizens can no longer share in or control
ii, and 80 msmanaged that they can no
longer endure it," All other remedies
having failed, he proposes to allow the
Government TO control the roads, just as 1t con-
tTols the Post Office. To do this il Is not neces-
sary that the Government should own every
railroad in the country, but only trunk lines as
IN Belgium, where the plan has worked most
satisfactorily. By controlling a few leading
lines. the Government could always prevent
monopoly combinations 10 the Disadvantage of
the public. To the objection that a government
railway system implies jobbery and corruption.
Mr.. Adams holds that, on the contrary. il would
relieve Us Of one of the most prolific sources of
the decentralization and dishonesty which now
afffiCt rs. For instance, whatever may be said
Of the management of the Post Office, it has
never engendered corruption.
