New Hampshire is waking up some
for their election which occurs March
9Th, but we judge they are not to have
any such life and activity as in some Of
their campaigns in former days. The re.
publicans will do we'll to hold their own
on last year. In some towns, however,
they will do better, and but for the ger
rymandering by the last democratic leg
stature, in some of the cities their chances
would be still better, and right here is an
important point. By the changes made
in the representative and senatorial dis
tricts, the democratic legislature of last
year practically undertook to legislate
men of their own type into the legislature
without regard to the twill of the peo-
pie" of which of late so much has been
heard in relation to Louisiana On the
whole the republicans do not appear
likely to do any worse than last year,
and may do better.
