He delivered two sledge hammer

feet he felt in his vest pocket for the

barkeeper if be could leave some

"a whole carload, if you want to"

CONCORD, N. H., March 14.-There is
great excitement in this city over the
State election. Last night it had reached
high pitch. The hotels are crowded
with prominent politicians from this city
and other States discussing the probable
result of the election, and bets are rum
ming high on the chances OF electing this
or that candidate. Rallies were held
last evening, and the Republicans were
addressed by Hon. H. U. Pratt, OF Iowa,
and VIM. 2. Frye, Of Maine,' and the
Democrats by John ii. George, of this
city.
The present campaign has differed
from tn at OF last year, being more secret
on both sides. AS usual, large amounts
Of money have been expended by both
parties, and voters are obtained at high
prices. The Republicans, according to
prospects at this hour, will elect their
candidate for Governor, Hon. r. g..
Cheney, of Manchester, by fair major
ity. But while the Democrats concede
the election of Governor to the RepuL-
lican party they have high hopes Of OBJ
