The first gun of the political cam
paign is now being loaded in the Old
Granite State, and will be fired off
the second Tuesday in March. The
nominations for Governors of the
three parties in the field are as follows
The Democrats have nominated
Hon. Daniel Marcy of Portsmouth,
an excellent man the prohibltlonists
have nominated Mr. A. Kendall, who
was one of the sold guard in Free
Soil times, and the straight republi-
cans have nominated Governor
Cheney, the present incumbent. All
the parties are preparing for an earn
est campaign. 1t is sud that the Re
publicans will conduct their campaign
upon live issues, which will certainly
be refreshing novelty. The Demo
Gratis are united, and go iii strong for
reform, and deserve success. The
Republican leaders have the state and
nation to back them, and unless the
Democratic leaders can arouse the peo-
pie to see things as they exist in the
state and nation, Cheney will hold his
place. But, we think the people "see
It," and have faith to believe that
Marcy will win The election of a
Governor is small matter any way,
but the election of a U. S. Senator
which will deyolve upon the new Leg
islature, is of some consequence, not
only to New Hampshire, but to the
whole country. Democrats, arouse.
