The victory OF the Republicans constantly
assumes larger aud more definite proper

the II Senators they have certainly secured and
probably o. Gov Cheneys majority will exceed

IF the Governors Council. The state waa so gerry
wandered by the Democrats two years ago that II
was thought there would be no possibility of the Re

They are certain Of two and have a fair show Of
electing the third. The Democrats have closed their

CONCORD n. H., March 14-0l5 Z. m.-The les
son of the election is that the events of the past
three months in Washington, and the approach OF
the Presidential campaign, have intensified party
feeling on both sides, but have made no material
change in the relative strength Of the two contend
ing organizations. Apart FROM the large venal vote,
which has been bought here by one side and there
by the other according one OF the other otferef
tho highest price, there appears 20 have been no
break in the oil party lines. If money had been
used, the Stale wOnld undoubtedly have gone Dem
ocratic but that fac. Is indication of change in
the direction Of public opinion, for If money had not
been corruptly used tn, State would have been
steadily Democratic since 1872. 1t is estimated TIA!
about $4,000 has been spent by both sides IN the
campaign Just closed and OF this sum at least two
thirds has PROFESSIONALLY been paid out for the
bribery of voters. At the Democratic headquarters
at this hour returns from IL towns show a net Re
publican gain &c $50. Tho Chairman of the Demo
cratic Committee comedies the election of Gov
