Opinions Of the Four Leading Dailies
of New YOrk-The Herald and

New York World Democratic).l
Yesterdays election in New Hamp-
shire illustrates, apparently, the advsn-
tages of the cash system. The result is
the election of Mr.. Cheney, with very
considerable Republican gains; the leg
islature is in doubt. The Radical stom-
ach has turned out proof even against
Babc0ck and Belknap, and Mr.. RoIltns's
marageIs have pat their ample supply
of currency where it would do most good
to the party. A glance at the returns
shows this, for while the total vote does
not materially differ nom that Of 1875,
the Republicans gain notably at the ex-
peDse of the Democrats. They have
simply given themselves s safe margin
and bought the necessary votes.
New York Tribune (Rep. Ind.ll
New Hampshire has gone Republican
by about a thousand majority. The
Democrats concede the election of Gov
ernor Cheney, and Of q majority in both
houses; the Republicans claim that
they will have nom fifteen to twenty
five majority in the house, and from
seven to nine Of the twelve senators. 1t
is what everybody has expected who
read the Tribune correspondence; and
the methods of the campaign ought not
to leave the victory much significance
as move on the national field. Never
theless it will have 1t. Every gratified
party paper will tomorrow be shouting,
New Hampshire leads the wayw And
the moral weight of this cry will be
distinct and tangible influence in the
politics of the year. Horace Greeley
might have been elected in 1872, if North
! Carolina had not been bought or counted
f-nVp
vass this year will be strengthened by
yesterdays purchase of New Hamp-
| shire.

They the Republicans have re-elect-
| ed Governor Cheney ana a majority Of
| the legislature, according to the latest
returns, and will, therefore, continue
| the Republican representation of New
| Hampshire in the senate. But it is un
| likely that the Republican party will be
much elated or that the Democracy will
| be much depressed by this event. 1t was
not national field. The issues were too
| narrow. The majority either way is too
! small. A grand national question can
not be tried in police court, and New
| Hampshire is actually, when we con-
slider the clOseness Of its partisan vote,
and the facile methods OF affecting it, Of
| little more Importance than ward in
] New YORK. If the administration claims
victory in this election upon the issue
of Mr. Belknap's guilt, then it suffers a
practical defeat; for, to win upon that
issue is-bad for the Republican party.
Our opinion is that local matters, the
stake OF the United States senatorship
and money-the latter most of Aide.
termined the result in New Hampshire.
The general appeal is yet to be made to
the higher tribunal Of the nation.
New YoIk Times: administration Rsdicall.l
New Hampshire has elected Rspub-
Iican governor and legisl AZURE with q
Republican msjority in both branches.
The majority on the vote for governor
will be at least fifteen hundred, and has
attained q still higher figure than was
reached at tine spring election Of 1872.
Conaider,ng that the State went Demo-
cratic two years ago, and that the cleo
ton of governor was last year thrown
into the legislature, the party triumph
has a well-maTked significance. 1t is
an emphatic testimony not only to the
local superiority Of the Republican plat.
foTm end candidates over those Of their
opponents, but it SHOWS that the mas Or.
ity Of the people Of New Hampshire are
still of opinion that the honor and safety
Of the country are most secure in the
hands Of the Republican party.
