CONCORD, N. H., March 14-11 p. m.-Re-
turns from s. towns show Republican gain
on the Governor vote of 1859. We have un-
doubtedly carried both branches of the Legis-
lature, and elected our Governor by the people,
although the majority will not be large. ''Sen-
ate stealers'' and the Ben Hill Democracy
have been gived sound drubbing.I

Republican gain of GIL.
Ninety-seven towns and wards give Cheney

here are very full and show decided Republican
gains throughout the state. The indications
point to an election of Cheney, Republican
| candidate for Governor, by the people, and
there seems to be no doubt that the Republic
cans have elected majority of Senators. The
Republicans claim that they shall have ma
jority in the House of at least 10 or 20, though
| the Democrats do not consider that the House
| is Republican. The Republicans are con fident
that they have made a clean sweep and are
| jubilant Sufficient figures have not yet been
received or made to indicate precisely the stat
us.
E. II. Rollins, of the Republican State Com
| mittee, considers that the Republicans have
elected of the IL Senators, that Cheney's ma
| jority will be 1900 or 1000, and the majority in
The House will be from 20 to %.
There is very little excitement in this city.
The Republicans are holding a crowded meet
ing iu Rumford Hall, where the summaries
have been read and received with enthusiasm.
The meeting was addressed by Hon. e ID.
Rollins, Gen. e. w. Andrews of Michigan,
Geo. A. Pillsbury, Mayor elect of this city, and
| others.
One hundred and sixty-six towns and wards
| give Cheney 27,739, Marcy 1924, Kendall and
scatte ling A3. Same last year gave Cheney
| &c, 583, Roberts, q, 1868, White and scattering
| AZ. Republican net gain, 211S.
CONCORD, March Ill A. M-The summary
of all the returns received up to o'clock a. m.
| is as follows: 1879 towns and wards give Cheney
81, 1853, Marcy 28,930, Kendall and scattering
80 The same towns last year gave Cheney
3O,293, Roberts 29,737, White and Scott sci.
Republican net gain 2552.
A footing of the representatives at the same
hour is as follows: 1877 towns and wards elect
148 Republicans and 129 Democrats. Last year
the same towns elected 147 Republicans and
122 Democrats, which shows Democratic net
gain of g. The Republican majority in the
| house last year was II. There is no doubt that
| Cheney is elected governor by the people, and
| the Republicans claim that his majority will
| be as high as 1900 or 1000. They also claim the
| house by from Is to rs majority. but the exact
figures can only be determined by later returns.
| The Democrats think the hOuse very close and
| in doubt.
Inlthe senatorial districts the Republicans
claim to have elected Matt Head in district NJ.
2; Jas. f. Briggs in district No. 3; Geo. E.
Todd in district No. 4; Joshua b Smith in
district No. 5; Chas. Holman in district No. z;
Royal Il. Porter in district No 9; Jas: Burnap
in district No. 1C; and probably Jas. M. Johh-
son in district No. II. This claim gives them
out of the u Senator'S and gives districts Nos.
1, 6, 8 and - to the Democrats.
In the councillor districts they claim to have
elected Chas. A Foss in district No. /, and
Albert s. Scott in district No A. leaving No.
doubtful. Districts and they concede to the
Democrats, who claim they have elected John
M. Parker in district No. 3, which gives a
Democratic majority in the counsel.
Of the counties the Republicans claim to
have carried six out of the ten, as follows:
Rockingham, Stafford, Hillsborough, Cheshire,
Sullivan and Merrimack. The latter county is
somewhat in doubt, but the probabilities are it
has elected Republican officers. Last year the
counties were five Republican and FIVE Demo.

House, the status of which can only be deter.
mined by further returns, and the Council
which is doubtful the Republicans have made
a clean sweep

Manchester, and nearly 100 in Concord.
