Gratis


THE REPUBLICANS WORK HARD BUT LOSE HEAVILY.
CONCORD N H., March 1O.-The Republicans have
worked hard all day in a driving snow-storm, and
now they do not feel thoroughly satisfied with the
work. SO far 104 towns show 800 Republican loss,
and when it is remembered that last year Gov.
Straw had only 2007 plurality it is easily seen that
there is good reason for their feeling anxious They
fought a good nght" but the Simmons nomina-
ton felt here where Butler is not in good
repute. Then, too, Weston is an exceedingly popu-
lar man, and he stood on a license platform while
McCutchinss sfoothold was prohibitory plank so
thin and fra that almost 1000 of the voters of the
State refused TO believe in its stability. The Re
publicans miss very much the active work of f.. A.
Rollins, who long managed the wires in this State
with discrimination and good judgment which in
surod victory. Nevertheless the Hon. Daniel Hall
of Dover the Chairman and the Hon. b. L. Prescott
of Concord the Secretary of the State Committee,
have been shrewd and energetic. They have made
the most of their and material, wasting neither
time, money, nor speeches
The Democrats have devoted all their energies to
securing increased representation in the House,
and in this they have undoubtedly succeeded The
saddest feature of the election to tho Republicans
is that there is not single city large town whose
returns they contemplate with pleasure. In this
city they expect 10 lose two representatives,
ana the GOVeTnOTS vote SHOWS u laillnR OH Ol Oh
The Mayor the Hon. John Kimbal is reelected by
large majority. Nashua does even worse than the
most dismal had reason to fear. Weston goes out of
the city with 0G9 votes McCutchins SlS, and Black
mer 142, showing a net loss to the Republicans of
81 and no choice of representatives in three wards,
the Prohibitoniss holding the balance of power,
with two Republicans and four Democrats chosen.
Other Republican losses In Lancaster, 55 Derry
A: Epping 43; South NEWMARKET, 81 Lisbon A;
Keene ia; Somerswortl, ID; Bristol, 26; Peterbo-
rough, 81. Among the few Republican gains are 80
in Hopknton, where Col. f. c. Bagey of The Patriot
was defeated The Senate, az far heard from, IS
equally divided. In the WITH District Snperintend
cnt George i. Todd of the Northern Railroad is
probably elected.
The contest was very close in Manchester, and the
victory was claimed by each party i'll turn until the
returns came in from the last ward, which showed
that Weston had carried his own city by
plurality of 30 and majority of 119. g.
Byron Chandler was elected Senator by
a majority Of As. The loss to the Republicans is
$50, and Portsmouth, which makes the best com
paIatiye showing yet for the Republicans, reports
ONLY 1872 gain. The midnight count is rs follows:
In 145 towns Weston. 2is5I; McCuchns 2ilOo; Black
mer, I374. Net Republican loss, 1892.
