BUYING An ELECTION BY AUCTION
Why tho Republican Party Retains Power
In New Hampshire.

CONCORD. y. H., March l6.-Now that the
election is over. the Democrats are beginning to
inquire into the cause for their defeat although
10 many the Democratic vote WIS better than
WAS nnticipatcd. The cause can be summed up
in two words-bargan and sale. Nrn who.
years ago fought for principle until the last
vote was cast. men who gave strength AMI sta
hility to the party. denouncc the trlckery prac-
tiscd on both sides in the canvass. The Repub-
leans fought not for principle. but To Keep
themselves in office and hold the power OF dis
trihuting patronage. Their leaders are sharp
shrewd men, who know how TO fix things for
their own advantage. The Democrats had
power almost within their grasp, yet they let it
slip away. owing TO their cowardice and lmbe-
cility. The Democrats had everything to gain
and the Rapubllcans had everything to lose, yet
HE former gained next to nothing The Re
pubcans. to hold what they hnvc. resorted 10

RICHMOND, March l7.-John Jasper, pas
tor OF the largest colofed Baptist church here.
preached to an immense congregation this
evening. He attempted TO show that the sun
moves and the earth does not revolve around
the sun as taught by the philosophers. He s,d
that II he did not prove by Bible authority that
the sun moves he would never preach again
He quoted Joshuas making the sun stand still
and Of the Psalms of David about the rising
and going down Of the sun. He challenged any
grammarian 10 prove that rising and going down
meant stand still He told his congregation
that II they believed the philosophers. .tncn they
must believe that the Bible was n lie and that
any man who does not believe the Bible is
lost. At the close Of the sermon he requested
that all those who believed TINT the sun movos
hold up their right hands. Every hand in the
congregation was raised.
