fore the close of the week an election will re.

lican of merely local note. The Democrats
ara united, but without hope Of secur.
ing anything from the Republican
division. Every one is now adrift as to
the probable influence upon State politics.
Unless some worse blood is shown, the Re-
publican. party will not be permanently in
jured. There is no evidence of any detection
from the party, but only plain hint that
certain practices must be ended. The pres
ent trouble is a protest against the arbitra-
ment of the caucus, but with no idea of elect
ing any other than Republican Senator.
The Democrats affect to believe that it means
death.blow to the Republican party, but
those who understand New Hampshire poll.
tics understand that next year the ranks will
be closed up and the State carried as usual.
The present situation is 6 temporary break
ing down of fences, and nothing more.
