are completed. Hero the Democrats had a
large gathering to hear Senator Gordon's
speech on the Southern troubles, which
lie delivered first at Littleton, on Sat
urday night and the Republicans lis
tened to the appeals Of Congressman Eugene
Hale, of Maine, and ex-Gov. Hartman, OF Man
chester, now Naval officer at Boston. At the
headquarters of the two political parties all is
excitement and hustle. Both show by their
canvasses that the State is sure, and it is impos-
sble to predict the result There can be no
doubt that both parties are in better condition
scarcely heard of. and the feeling is that they
will very generally vote with the Republicans.
About Congressman there is little talk, the in
Test 1t is thought the First District will be
carried easily by the Republicans the Second
will be saved by small majority, and that the
Third will go to a Democrat

Is great. To-day two arrests were made, and
