THE EFFECTS OF THE FIGHT.
Every one is now adrift as to the probable nfu-
ence upon State politics. Unless some worse blood
is shown. the Republican party will not
be permanently injured There is no evidence of
any detection from the party, but only PLAIN hint
that certain practices must be ended. The present
trouble is protest against the arbitrament of the
caucus but with idea of electing any other than
a Republican Senator. The Democrats affect to
believe that it means a death-blow to the
Republican party but those who understand New
Hampshire politics understand that next year
the ranks will be closed up and the State carried
as usual, Every one is good -natured so far and the
only question at issue is, who will be fortunate
enough to get the Senatorial prize. There IS no
question that 1t win be Republican, and that the
State will be all right another year. The present
situation Is temporary breaking-down of fences,
and nothing more.

whether Mr.. Rollins viii take an active
part in behalf of Mr.. Chandler or retire from the
contest entirely but he probably will endeavor to

upon the Senatorial chair.
This Is certainly the most peculiar political con-
test ever entered upon in the old Granite State The
independent voter is out. and good deal OF ugly
feeling is shown toward some of the old leaders of
the Republican party.
The Democrats are unit for their candidate,
Harry Bingham, but do not, of course. expect to
win, unless there should be some sort of compact
formed with certain Republicans. This IL improb-
able, notwithstanding sensational reports to that
effect. Mr.. Chandler occupies the parlors In the
Eagle Hotel vacated by Mr.. Rollins, and Is doing.a
great deal of work. Some of the leading Republi-
cans are outspoken in their opposition to Mr;
Chandler and declare that his Candidacy Will
prove the mistake of his life. He is In the race.
