Judge tJere) Black worked very hard
among his Democratic friends to per-
suade them to vote against committing
his client (Kilbourne) and was highly
said one. I'VE couldn't do differently"
Couldn't do differently !" retorted the
Judge contemptuously, "all the Demo-
Gratis in this House are thinking Of il
garbage, and NJ won't be long before
you'll be thrown out as garbage your

The lesson OF New Hampshire is very
plain to the New York Tribune. 1t il
this: "The Democratic party cannot
come back to power upon the bare ar
gument of the uaworthiness of the Op-
position. The country has trusted il
to some degree in the election of the
a.
try and the people rest. sThey wait for
this party to do something to entitle it
to further and larger trusts. Thus far
il has done nothing" And the Tri-
bune thinks "the Democratic party
must understand by this time, il It has
common penetration, that it is not 60
ing to carry the Presidential election
by throwing mud"
The n. Y. Tribune has been, through
its correspondent, declaring in the most
positive terms that New Hampshire in
the recent election was virtually bought
up that both parties have used mon
ey without stint and in way far from
honorable TO either party in the con-
test.
The Y. Y. Times correspondent says:
81 do not believe it Of either Demo
Gratis or Republicans. for the sufficient
Tho correspondents goes ON to show
where and how money was needed and
was used, but it was in the legitimate
work OF the campaign.
First. Here were many speakers from
Abroad whose services must be paid
for.
Second. The travelling aud hotel ex-
penses of these men had to be paid.
Third. Every meeting had its brass
band.
Fourth. There were rent Of halls,
lights and other incidsntals.
Fifth. The heaviest items we're print
ing and postage.
The correspondent says:
Tens of thousands of documents
were printed by the committee and
scattered over the State, on every one
OF which the postage was paid, and
have seen $50 worth Of stamps used in
a single day on newspapers and pamph-
let's. Hundreds Of kilograms passed
every day between the State Commit
tee and the local leaders in the various
towns, all of which we're paid for by
the committee, and required large
sum. In these and other equally hon
est ways all the money raised in New
Hampshire or out OF il was expended,
and j have seen no reason to believe
that the Democrats were not equally
honest in the expenditures.
Some have found fault because vot-
ers were transported, &C. The CORES
.pondent says this can be explained rs
follows:
First. Both parties do it, and hap
pen to know that each provided the
same number Of transportation blanks
and used them all. Second. 1t is an
immemorial custom for the citizens Of
the State TO return home every year to
vote, no matter where they may be,
and, lastly. parties make arrangements
with the railroad companies to take
their certificates for the return, the vo-
tiers themselves paying full fare when
coming, for, without exception, they
are men who vote in the State every
year, and never vote anywhere else
But this is what Assistant Democrats
call importation Of bogus voters. 1t
is even more of lie and slander than
THAR talk about bribery
