(Republican,) by the n. Y. Tribune, two
years ago, seemed to crush that Senator

guilt of his brother Senators would proven
his punishment. The Observer says it i
in Tweed's power now tOexpose allof thes
men, since he doubtless has record OF hi

famous memorandum book Of Cakes Ames
and in conclusion adds, with much truth
IF one bride taking Assemblyman or Sen

The Republican State Committee Of
New Hampshire met at Concord recently,
and the members improved the occasion
BY indulging in little plain talk concern
ing political prospects. Ex-Governor Har-
riman felt confident that the popular dis
like for the Democratic party would enable
the Republicans to carry the StateIf they
worked hard. +. II. Rollins was less san
guine. In his opinion the fate ofthe State
ticket depended upon the action of Con
gress. IL that body solved the financial
problem, relieved the country of its bur
deus and endorsements, repealed that
obnoxious Salary-Grab act, there wa'
hope; but IL these things were not done, ii
his view, New Hampshire cannot posi-
bly, be carried by the Republicans, an'
possibly the party may be oyerthrown II
