LETTER FROM ROBERT d. MINTURN-THE AUTHOR or
HE BILL ENTITLED TO HIGH CREDIT.
TO the EditOr OF Thr Tribune.
SIR: In your criticism of Mr. Woods proposed
tariff to-day, you stale that consider it "a most
absurd bill" The whole tone of your article is hu-
morcus and it may be presumed therefore, that the
words quoted not meant To be taken literally. |
tnd however, that yoGr language has led some per-
SONS 10 misapprchend my opinion OF MI Woods
measure and although no One il more conscious
than myself how unmportant 20 the public my midi
vidual opinions are, yet, as you have done ne the
homer 20 mention NV name 80 prominently, trust
that you will spare me space 70 shy that nv views
of the proposed tariff are embodied in the memorial
To the Committee of Ways and Means, which was
signed by myself with other frce-iraders and I'M
portcrs, and extensively published in the ncwspa
pers That memorial, after suggesting various al
teraiions in the provisions OF the BILL expressed
the opinion that il so amended. it would prove &" a
great step in the direction Of reform, and would
ceiye the hearty support of economists: :" and fur
Their that 1t would be accepted a. an immense
relief from the crushing burden Of the present tariff
and would 90 further to restore prosperity to the me-
ton than any measure now before the country
Since then, the Committee of Ways and Means have
adopted many of the changes recommended in the
memorial ; that there is a good prospect that the
bill will be presented TO the House. in form en-
tltlng it to the favorable opinions above quoted.
But, even should this turn out otherwise and what
ever changes may await the measure, 10 the House,
it will still be felt by the free-traders that Mr..
Wood is entitled to very high credit for the labor
and ability which he has devoted to this effort to
secure beginning of tariff reform. Your obedient
servant. ROBERT b. MINTURN.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ELECTION
GOVERNOR PRESCOTT REFLECTED.

GONERNoR PRESCOII RE-EiIfClED.
HIS MAJORITY PROM 500 TO 2,0O0-THE LEGls-
IATURE AND COUNCIL REPUBLCAN-A FULL
VOTE.
The returns from New-Hampshlre indicate
full vote, and the reelection OF Governor
Prescott by from 1900 to 1900 majority.
The new Legislature will be Republican by
a reduced majority on joint ballot-abOut 81,
against 73 last year. The Council is also
Republican. In $50 towns Governor Pres
colts majority is 2,157 against 4,OS9 last
year, when the total vote was about the same
as that cast yesterday.
REDUCED REPUBLICAN MAJORlTIES.
GOVERNOR PREsCOTf's REELECTION BY FROM ], 50o
TO 1000 MAJOEITY-THE LEGISLATURE AND
COUNCIL REPUBLICAN.
CONCORD. n. H., March 1.-the returns of to-
days election not yet sufficiently full to give
definite figures of the Republican victory, but it
seems certain that Governor Prescott is reelected
and that the Republicans carry the House and Sem
ate and Council.
The Republicans claim that Prescott is elected by
1900 and the Democrats concede him from 1000
to ! 800 majority
The Republicans claim the House by not less
than fifty majority, which will probably not be far
from right. They also claim that they have carried
eight out of the twelve Senatorial Districts.
1t seems certain that the Republicans have carried
seven Senatorial Districts. The Democrats think
that in of the districts claimed (No. H. there is
10 choice. The districts claimed Nos. l., H.,
Ill, ", ", VII, TX. and y. OF the Councillor
Districts the Republicans carry Nos l., H., ". and
probably H.: but the Democrats claim that only
later returns can determine the result in the last
named district.
OF counties the Republicans carry buckingham,
Stafford. Hillsborough Cheshire and sullivan, and
the Democrats Delknap. Carroll Merrimac, Grafton
and Coos.
Tie election has been quiet all over the State as
far reported, and the changes in the town Repre-
scntatves seem to be balanced between the two
parties.
Horace a. Brown (Rcp) was elected Mayor of this
city to-day Considerable excitement prevails over
the uon-election of the Republican candidate for
third Representative in the fourth ward Of thus city.
\ meeting was held this evening when the election
was adjourned sine die.
