the Senate with five Republicans and five
Democrats; no choice in two districts.
There is no election of Governor by the
people, and the duty of selection will devolve
upon the Legislature, which will doubtless elect
Cheney, the Republican candidate. The Demo-
the districts have not figured sufficiently to de-
termine finally. The vote in the state yester-
dsy is said to be the largest ever polled before.
MANCHESTER, March 10.-The political bar
ometer is very changeable. Gov Weston and
other leading Democrats claim the Legislature.
Cheney and his friends admit there is no
chance for Governor by the People, but feel
confident of the Legislature. 1t is generally
conceded that Hon. S. N. Bell is elected to
and this result is by no means distastetui to the
majority of the people in this vicinity.
Although the Democrats carried this city the
result is q disappointing ut, as they anticipated
300 to 400 majority. One side charges frand
and repeating of votes and the other that in
tmidation was used on the corporation and
claim that frauds were practiced in polling in
the French Canadian vote, which is getting to
be quite an element in this city. The Demo
Gratis are much more hopeful than last night.
NASHUA March 10.-Charles p. Danfortb,
was to day elected representative in ward l,
making Nashua's delegation Republicans to
3 Democrats. a..I-}
