1t is universally admitted that the horse is

BOLD SOCIALIST UTTERANCEs.
In the debate on the anti-socialist bill in the
reichstag yesterday Hasselmann made deciara-
tion of his political creed which caused con-
siderable commotion. He said that in Russia
the anarchists had risen against despotism. In
France the commune had done so, and he hoped
the German workingmen would follow their
example. He said he identified himself with
the energetic revolutionary feeling of the peo-
pie, and regretted that once before in the rechs-
tag it was denied on the part of the socialists
they had any connection with the Russian an
archists. He declared he accepted the counec-
tion, but spoke. of course, entirely for him
self, not knowing how far his colleagues went
with him. He was convinced that the belisf
was gaining ground among the people that
over. Hassefmann was called to order.

A GAMBLING SUIT.

Falling Back on the Law to Make up the
Loss In Bucking the Tiger.
In the district court yesterday morning Pc
culiar case came up, being an action to recover
money lost at gambling. The suit was COM
menced by F. W. Leavitt, of Minneapolis
against John Chinn, to recover the sum of $50
lost at cards.
The complaint alleges that defendant keeps
a resort in this city devoted to the playing of
"faro," poker draw poker and ether sin
full games, which are conducted to induce bet
ting and win money thereby.
1t is alleged that on or about the I'd. Sd and
4th days of October, 1879, plaintiff was in
duced to ''buck" the game, and that by SO do
ing he lost $3.50 of his dust. No attempt at foul
play is intimated other than that the money
was lost while plaintiff was under the influence
of liquor. While in this condition he ''cop-
pered'' the ace, and as the trump didn't come
that way the paw of the tiger raked in the
rocks.
1t is claimed that he has requested the re.
turn of said money and that defendant has re-
fused to comply with the request. The answer
of defendant denies that he operates a gam
bling room or any other sinful device to induce
people to bet their money. He denies that
plaintiff was under the influence of liquor at
the time named, and denies that he ever played
cards at his (defendant's) request or solicita.
tion or that he lost money. He admits that
he won 800 from plaintiff about the time
named. He alleges that plaintiff is gambler
and is addicted to playing cards.
He claims that on or about the I'd day OF
October, 1879, he was requested to play al
cards with plaintiff and several other parties
That he consented and that plaintiff won the
sum of 1925 from him which he still keeps ano
at all times has refused to nay.
Yesterday morning the case came up on the
motion for Judgment on pleadings, which was
argued and taken under advisement.

THE PIATFORM.
The committee on resolutions made the fol-
lowing report, and it was adopted:
We, the Democrats of New Hampshire, reaf-
firm our devotion to the principles of demo-
cratlc-republican government, as asserted by
the founders of American liberty and embod-
led IN the constitution, and consistently main
tanned by the Democratic party of the United
States. We denounce the so-called Republican
party, its doctrines, its methods and its con-
trolling minds as the persistent enemies of our
free government, and we especially denounce
that most Infamous act of usurpation whereby
the fairly determined will of the American
people constitutionally expressed at the polls,
was most Outrageously defed and the shame
less creatures of a conspiracy and fraud in
stalled in the place of the lawfully elected
President and Vice-president of the United
States.
We unite with our brethren throughout the
land In asserting the sacred right of free elec-
tions, the right of every citizen to cast his
ballot unintimidated by federal bayonets or
any instrumentality of force or fraud. We
call on the representatives of the people in
Congress to preserve the maintenance of that
right, and the people everywhere to assert
their determined purpose never again to be
defrauded of the legitimate results of its ex-
ercise.
With full confidence in the Judgment and
patriotism of our delegates this day chosen,
We believe in the exercise of wise discretion
conformity with representatives of the party
from all the States, that they will select as the
standard bearer of the party, at Cincinnati,
man who will command the hearty and enthu-
siastic support of every honest Democrat and
sincere patriot in the land, to the end that
the party of corruption, usurpation and fraud
shall be defeated, and an honest, constitu-
tiOnal government re-established in our
midst.
DELEGATES.
The delegates chosen are Harry Bingham,
John A. George, Frank Jones, Morton V. B.
Edgerly. Alternates: Joseph Burroughs,
John w. Morse, John F. Clontman, David b.

The delegates are instructed to adhere to the
