NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
A Quiet state EIectiOR-Returns Not
Sufficient TO Indicate the Result
The Probabilities as Good
for One side as the
other.

MANCHESTER, March 9.-The election
throughout the State is progressing
quietly, and up TO noon a larger vote
Eas been polled than ever before. Both
parties are polling their full strength,
and there are but few split tickets.
CONCORD, March -Ninety-five
towns give Cheney, Republican, Ii, 762;
Roberts, Democrat, 13 937; White, Pro-
hibitionist, and scattering, pa. These
towns last yesr gave M'Cutchens, Re.
publican, IL, 739; Weston, Democrat, 49,
0S3; Blackman, Prohibitionist, and cat
tering, 7S5, which is net gain for Che
ney Of Ia.
Sufficient-returns have already come
in to insure beyond doubt a sweeping
victory for the Republicans. The Re-
publicans claim that they have elected
Cheney governor by the people, and all
three congressman, and that they will
have a majority of thirty or forty in the
legislature; also majority in the SEN
ate, as the returns already show the
election of seven senators. At present
these claims seem well founded. The
gubernatOrial majority, however, will
probably be small.
IL p.m.-One hundred and thirty
"
Roberts, Democrat, I9, ,783; White, tenn
peTance, and scattering, $50. The same
towns last year gave M'Cutchin, Repub-
licsn, 1897; Weston, Democrat, is, Az;
Blackmer, Temperance, aud scattering,
1907; which is gain for Cheney Of 25l7.
BOSTON, March 9.-Dispatches from
New Hampshire indicate an unusually
large vote by each party and possible
Republican victory through the Prohibi.
tion vote, which is very generally being
cast for the Republican nominees. The
Republicans already claim the governor
and the second and third congressional
districts. The election Of Frank Jones,
Democratic congressional candidate in
the first district, is conceded by the Re-
publicans. Portsmouth, in the first dis
trict, has gone Democratic by increased
majority. Jones has a msjOTity there OF
100, against Democratic majority Of ii
last year.
A Concord dispatch from Republican
sources gays that the news of a Republi-
can victory is confirmed beyond doubt,
and that jubilations have begun every
where. Cheney's majority is probably
small. It is known that Jones Demo
craft is elected in the first district and
Blair Republican, in the third, Kent,
his opponent, running behind the ticket.
The contest is close in the third district.
The Monitor says tnat the returns re-
eeived this afternoon indicate beyond
peTadventure that the Republican party
has won triumph, even if it has not
made q clean sweep, and has undoubt-
edly elected Cheney on the popular vote,
carried the house by an Overwhelming
majority, and the senate two to one.
Returns from fOrty-nine counties give
Cheney, Republican, 1886; Roberts,
Democrat, 77l5: White, Prohibitionist,
l49; scattering. 3, These towns last year
gave M'Cutchins, Republican, 65Sl;
Weston, Democrat, 7l60; Blackmar,
Prohibitionist, and scattering, 503-s
Republican gain of 902.
The Republican State committee are
confident that they have carried the
State. The indications are that the Re-
publicans hsve elected their governor,
and carried the senate and house of rep
resentatives. Wonderful Republican
gains are reported from almost every
section Of the State. The Democrats are
reticent as TO the result, but are conf
dent that further returns will elect their
governor, and possibly Pike, their con-
gressionRl candidate in the second dis
tFict.
