shire on or about the 18th Of June next. Says
the Rep,tlltcan: Newspaper readers may
have noted at the time that the reports from
the late New Hampshire election were very
summary sawed off right in the middle, and
that the exact result in that State is to this
day something that no fellow can find out.

upon the incoming Lcgi stature, aud here was
where the uncertainty began and the Assocl-
ated Press reports ended. I. has taken the
outside world q little over a month to learn
that, notwithstanding all tho hulIabaioo OF the
Republicans, the Democrats actually carried
the Legislature, ard propose to organize next
June and elect their man Governor the same
as they did last year. 1t seems that there are

muddle will be created, and the ''adjust-

Packard with Federal bayonets-it will, as
the Rep,.Jlicc,. remarks, prove an instructive,
