BOSTON, March 9.-Despatches from New
Hampshire up to this hour Indicate an ar u.s.
ually large vote by each party and a possible
Republican victory, through the Prohibitionist

Republican nominees. The Republicans

trict, is conceded by the Republicans. Ports
fr.a araf r.
ic by AN increased majority of 100, against a
Democratic majority of IL last year.
A Concord despatch from Republican sources
says: "The news of Republican victory is
confirmed beyond doubt. and publications have
begun everywhere. Cbeneys majority is prob
ably small. The Legislature is Republican by
good working majority. It is known that
Jones Dem) is elected in the first district and
Blair (Rep) in the third, Kent, his opponent,
running behind his ticket. The contest is close
betWeen Bell and Pike in the second district.
TIE Monitor says the returns received this sf-
ternoon indicate beyond peradventure that
the Republican party has won triumph, even
if it has not made a clean sweep, and has un-
doubtedly elected Mr.. Cheney on the popular
vote; carried the House by an overwhelming
majority, and the Senate two to one.'
CONCORD, March 9, 9.3O-Returns from 40
7,715; White (Prob) 14S; scattering 8. These
towns last year gave McCutchins (Rep) 6,581 !;
Weston (Dem) 1850 Blackmar (Pro'b) and
scattering 503. Republican gain of 902. The
Republican state committee are confident they
have carried the state. They say the indica-
lions are that the Republicans have elected
their Governor and carried the Senate and
House of Representatives. Wonderful Repub-
lcan gains are reported from almost every sec
ton Of the state. The Democrats are reticent
as to the result, but are confident further re-
turns will elect their Governor and possibly
la boir N q Sao
ond d strict.
NASHUA, March 9.-The Republicans are
holding jubilee in the city hall. Gen. A. f.
Stevens is addressing them and there is great
enthusiasm.

937; White prob and scattering IA. These
Weston (Dem) 1908; Blackmari prof and
scattering 1856, which is net gain for Cheney
of LII.
CONCORD, March 9-Sufficient returns have
already come in to insure beyond doubt a
sweeping victory for the Republicans. Daring
the evening several newspaper offices and the
Republican headquarters have been crowded
with people seeking infol nation. All the news
obtained was of The same general character,
showing gains for the Republicans and losses
for the Democrats. Not much excitement was
manifested 10 the streets, those tinterested hav-
ing crowded into the several offices, where en-
thusiasm was vented in cheers and coDgratula-
tions. The roorns occupied by the state
committees of each party have been open all
the evening. That of the Republicans has
been filled with an enthusiastic crowd, while
the visitors at the Democratic rooms have been
few in number. The Republicans held meet
ing in Rumford Hall, where congratulatory
speeches were made by several citizens. The
Republicans claim that they have elected
Cheney Governor by the people, and all three
Congressman; that hey shall have a majority
of thirty or forty 10 the Legislature. Also a
majority in the Senate, as returns already show
the election of seven Senators AT present
these claims seem we'll founded. The guber-
material majority, however, will probably be
small. The result in councillor districts is I'M
determined, but it is claimed by the Demo
Gratis that they shall have majority in that
body.
II D. m-13O towns give Cheney (Rep) q,
92s; Roberts (Dem) 1878; White (Tem) and
scattering $50. These towns last year gave
McClutchins (Repl 1887; Weston, Deml
IS, 442; BIackmar (Tem) and scattering 1,207

cans and 6,035 Democrats 1853 towns give

Wnte (frOD) ana scattering 80. IneSe Towns
last year gave McClutchins (Rep) 2387S; Wes-
ton (Dem) %, 756; Blackburn (Pro'b and scat
teriog 1856, which is gain for Cheney of
2,764
CONCORD, March 10, $50 q. m.-Late returns
of tonight seem to have changed the force of
the election somewhat, making what at an
earlier hour seemed an overwhelming Republi-
can victory rather doubtful. Returns of Con-
gressonal districts are meagre and insufficient
to indicate results positively. The Republi-
cans claim to have elected Pike in the second
district and Blair in the third, and think Jones
the Democratic candidate in the first district,
is defeated. On the other hand the Demo
Gratis claim to have elected Jones in the first
and Bell in the second, and think later returns
may show the election of Kent in the third dis
trict The second and third dis'ritts seem
doubtful, with the chances somewhat in favor
of Jones in the first. The Republicans claim
to have elected the Governor but the latest re-
turns have reduced the gains so that no cleo
ton by the people seems not improbable. The
Legislature will be very close.
