The most noticeable thing about the New
Hampshire election is the proof 1t gives of
the harmony and activity Of the Republican
party in that state. In spite OF the strong
differences Of opinion which are known to
exist among the New Hampshire Republi-
cans, in spite Of the feeling of discourage
ment produced In the minds Of many Of the
Oldest and best members Of the party organl-
zstion, by the course Of the national Admin
istration, Gov. Prescott was reelected by
handsome majority. The Democrats were
united, active and sanguine Of success, the
Republicans discouraged and divided in
opinion. ~
How under these circumstances did 1t
happen that New Hampshire was carried by
the Republicans instead Of by the Demo-
.crats? The reason is this: the Republicans
though divided in opinion were united in
action. They had their little quarrel before
the Convention. When the Convention met
the opponents Of the National Adminlstra-
tion forebore in the interests Of harmony to
push their views and assented to the adop-
tion Of platform in which their voice GER
tainly was not heard in order that the other
wing might have no pretext for hostility or in
difference in the campaign just about to
open. Then all went TO work and the vic
try was won. As the returns show there
we're few scattering votes. The Republicans
of New Hampshire have learned better than
to scatter their fire. They know that every
vote for 8 third party candidate is in effect
vote for the Democracy. They are not to be
diverted from their allegiance by false and
temporary issues. They know that these
third-parties are Democratic side-shows, and
that The Democratic party is always ready to
form combinations with any organisation
that holds out a promise Of success.
The lesson Of the New Hampshire election
should not be lost by the Republicans Of the
Union. 1t is of especial Importance to the
Republicans of Maine. Whatever differ
ences of opiuion on any topics there may be
among us there should be unity Of action In
the political campaign clooe at hand. No
Republican should permit himself to be led
into any movement which can give aid and
comfort to the common enemy. The object
of the Democracy in the tall elections this
year is to retain control Of the House and
increase their majority in that body. Then,
as the Senate will 10 all probability pass into
their hands next year, they will virtually
have possession Of the government. To
bring about this result they will endeavor to
intensity whatever dissensions there may be
in the Republican ranks and to divert as
many Republican votes IS possible to any
third-party movement. All the while they will
take good care that their own ranks shall re-
main unbroken. 1t is the duty of Republicans
to guard themselves against these schemes, to
defeat their successful prosecution, and to take
good care not to be betrayed into support OF,
or sympathy for, any movement that will
strengthen their opponents or weaken their
own organisation.

Tn. AnineL Democrat, weekly Demo-
cratic newspaper, published st Biddoford, 10
guilty OF one of the meanest and shabbiest
tricks ever known in Journalism. 1t pub
fishes an extract from the Associated Press
dispatches alleging that money was used In
the Biddeford election, credits it to the PREss
aud then comments on 1t lergely rs the utter
ance Of ''the leading Republican paper in the
State" The same dispatch appeared in the
Argus and In all the journals OF oil shades Of
opinion belonging to the Associated Press
aud yet the Maine Democrat gives its read
ers to believe that it is an editorial expression
from the PRESS. Is this truthful? Is it de-
cent? The PRESS has made no charges
about the Biddeford election. We supposed
that some sharp political work was done
there, as the BiddefoM Democrats are no
toriously unscrupuloas lot; but We never
dreamed of charging bribery Of voters upon
them. In fact we we're surprised that such
dispatch should have been sent and thought
that the sender was a rather foul bird to de-
file his own nest. Such sweeping charges
are generally to be distrusted. They must
necessarily be matter of guess and suspicion.
If the Maine Democrat or the sender Of that
dispatch have substantial grounds for their
allegations, it is their duty as good citizens to
make it matter Of judicial investigation even
though Democrats may suffer. II they have
no such grounds they should make prompt
and ample apology for unwarranted asper.
sions upon the people of their own town. In
either case 1t Is incumbent upon the Maine
Democrat to make full atonement and ex-
planation for attributing to the PRnss the
contents Of an Associated Press dispatch.

of Clement VII. to Charles Y. The grand
father of Charles seized Naples, and the

SECRETARY SHERMAN'S decision that peo-
pie who buy silver must pay gold for it seems
eminently proper. He argues that to sell the
new coins for greenbacks would make the
latter payable for customs duties, which is
contrary to law. As silver is made payable
for customs 1t is evident that If a silver dol
lar could be purchased with a greenback
dollar the latter currency would thus in
directly be made payable for the duties.
