How New HAMpsurRE WAS

N. Y. World gives an account Of the
way in which money was spent by
both parties to carry New Hamp-
shire ut the last presidential election.
he describes Senator Chandler has,
tening from Washington to the res
cue of the imperiled State, and how,
when he saw the manner in which
things were going, lie hastened back

such large Gums from the mauuiac-

the contest del ended On the longest
purse. In oae Of The large villages
in tue northern pat Of the State the
price OF votes was openly run up in
the town hall to 1925 apiece. In a
no.her Of the back towns the votes
for repre- sentatlves were a tie on the
first ballot, and, on tho second ballot,
the price of votes was run up to sos
each. In Manchester, the overseers
in the mills stood in the streets,
money 10 hand. and bought votes os
penly.' He adds: the worst OF it
was that the monej was given by
men who knew perfectly well the u :
ses to which 1t was to be put. They
were the large republican manufactu-
rers and chants of the Northern
States. They were the prominent
members Of our Churches, and they

The tonnage revenue shows an in

traffic:

The coal shipments decreased 1l9
tons as compared with the previous
fiscal year.
The earnings from express show q
decrease Of S277 81. due to the fact
that the earnings in 1887 represent
ed the gross amount received for ex-
press shipments, while those for 1888
cover only 40 per cent. Of said gross
due under the agreement of Sep. /,
1887, to the United States Express

by the cost Of additional side.track

OF additional siding have been laid at
this point, at cost of 1905 81, and
a barbed wire fence erected through
the lands of Messrs. Harrison and
Parsons at cost Of 1921 So TO pre-.
vent the killing of live stock.
The expenses Of agents and clerks
show an increase OF 1898 22. This
is due to change in the method Of
accounting by which a proportion Of
the salaries of the general officers Of
the Baltimore and Ohio company and
their assistants is charged to the

details of its operation and m Ante
