Maine and Vermont being disposed OF, New
Hampshire comes up next in geographical
order for political consideration among the
New England states The political prophets
have arrived at the conclusion that they don't
know how the election will result and are pre-
pared to be astOniShed in any event. The re-
publieans are not so firmly united as they
might be, and the greenbaek movement i'm the
state given fresh impetus by the news from
Maine is spreading in every direction. AS
governor, representatives In Congress. and a
legislature which will choose United States
Senator, are involved in the election, the ex-
tent OF the revolution, of whose approach
there are indications, is OF Importance 1t is
not considered unlikely that the third party,
the organized dissatisfaction in the state, will
have sufficient strength to cost the republi-
cans the loss OF the legislature, which decides
the SenatOrship, and. In the absence of a
majority for any candidate in the popular
vote, will select state officers as we'll.

enough to sell the pretty home his wlfes

UNITED STATES ATTORNEY LEONARD of
Louisiana has arrived in Washington and
confirms the reports of outrages, and frauds
practiced by Democrats in that State. In
his parish (Caddo) he says seventy-five ne
groes were killed on election day, In the
whole region armed whites rode around the
day before aud morning of the election and
fred upon the negroes and into their houses
and general intimidation was practiced. Had
there been fair election the State would
have been Republican by eight to fifteen
thousand, and at least three aud probably
four Republican congressman been elected.
Negroes were driven from the polls by force,
and the same was true in many counties in
regard to United States supervisors. In but
few cases we're Republ cans allowed to have
any officers of election. Although Caddo
parish is Republican by 26O0 majority on reg
istration, it was returned Democratic by
1910. The same methods Of making returns
were practiced widely.

The New York Times says that the DEM

getting the magnitude of their defeat in New
York through their wool:
With the exception of the Sun, our Democrat
ic contemporaries appear to find the utmost
difficulty in telling the truth about the Rspub-
lican victory in the State. The World, for ex-
ample, after insisting on Wednesday that Brad
ley was elected to the Court of Appeals, esti-
mated yesterday that Danforth's plurality was
only from 5000 to 10000. The returns showed,
SIS stated'in the Times, that it was nearly 20
600 aud additional returns give ground for the
expectation that it will not fall short of 0,000

Journals have been equally slow to recognize
the truth. None of them have been able TO
admit the election of more than ninety, while
