AS is well known, recent changes have
cast shadow over the political dreams
of Newhampshire Republicans. LAS
Fall the Democrats, united with the
anii-corrupion Republicans. were victorious,
and they are making use Of that ctory il
a manner deserving of emulation. In their
State Legislature, last Friday. a week ago,
the ayes and noes were called forty times
and the business was mostly in removing
scallawag Republicans, WHO had betrayed
their trust IL the people, and substituting
good Democrats, or honest Republic ms.
They even extended t! cir authority into
counties where corruption existed, and Pro-
bate Judges, Sheriff., and other county of
fcers, who had proven recreant, found no
mercy at their hands. Purity cannot help
but follow such scrub,ing, and the poliri
cal atmosi here Of that State certainly needed
fumigating.
