Concord. y. H.. Jan. The Republicans have
Organized the state Senate 10y four majority, the
House by twenty majority, and have elected
Hiram \. futile. Republican, Governor by thirty
five majority. After the Democrats succeeded at
the extra session. by the aid of thiriy-clght Re
publcans, who separated from los others. IN de-
fcatng legislation declaring representation In the
House Of 1891 TO Ie based upon the census Of
1890, they became exceedingly iubilant. They
soon found however, that in defeating a law and
in leaving the power 20 make roll in The hands
of Clerk Jcwctt, they hal secured no assurance
that a Democratic roll would lie made, but, on
the contrary, they soon began to realize that
doubtless Clerk Jcwctt would on his own judg-
ment make up the roll exactly as the Senate bill
would have made If. Looking about for some
means Of delaying and embarrassing the clerk,
they conceived the idea of hauling him before thc
courts. Harry Bingham, therefore, member
from LitIleron, and several others applied to the
Supreme Court of the State for mandamus, or,
rather, an injunction, 10 restrain the clerk from
putting the new census members on
the roll. \ hearing took place on Mon.
day and Tuesday before the Supreme Court.
Half an hour after the arguments were closed
Chief Justice Doe announced the unanimous opinion
of the Court that the cases should DE dismissed
for want Of jurisdiction, and the whole proceed
ing vanished in a moment.
From the time of the dismissal Of the legal
proceedings public sentiment seemed 10 indicate
clearly that Republican Legislature would be
organized. The counsel for Clerk Jcwett gave
the public an opinion that Immediately upon the
organization of the Legislature bill should be
passed pro-ratng the thirty clasScd towns accord
ing TO tie report Of the Commission to revise the
statutes made up by an eminent Democratic
lawyer, without regard to political consideration.
and that the members from the towns so allowed
to elect in 1890 should at once be admitted to
the present House This fair proposition tended
to quiet the Democratic mind, and after the
caucuscs OF the two parties no doubt seemed TO
be felt that Republican victory was at hand, and
ii proved.
This morning at ii o'cloCl; the clerk presented
himself at the State House with a roll which con-
taincd the names Of the ucw.ocnsus members.
There was considerable excitement, bat no demon
stration. Policemen guarded the lower ball Of the
State House, but all persons claiming to be MEM
bers were allowed TO enter the Representatives
Hall. Governor GOod"l and his Council were
present 10 swear III the members. The Democrats
all appeared TO have given up the idea Of organiz-
ing n separate House. and at / 10 the blank
oaihs were distributed FOR the members 10 sign.
While this going forward the omriprcscnt
and carrulous Harry Bingham, the Dem cratic
leader arose and said that there was disSatisiac-
ton with the roll, and for the sake Of peace and
order he moved that a committee IF tbrcc Repub-
lican, and three Democrats be appointed 10 con.
slider the roll and report thereon
Clerk Jcwctt told Mr. bingham that he was
out of order, but ne had no objection 10 his
talking while the blank oaths were being dis
tributrd Shortly Nr n.h1m demanded TIM;
his motion bc plt, but The clcr,, said II was or
Il order. Mr.. Bin Sham tLcu said lac WoGld put
the motion himself lie did 50. There was 4
loud response OF d" Yes, ana yet louder respons"
Of No" Mr.. IdnehaiA hesitated. said he be-
cycd the Nays he'd # and declared the motion
lost. b. this time The ahsurG'tv ol Nr. Einghams
Dcrions aroused mcrrlmcnt. Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike began l. laugh, and the old man sank
INTO his seat piled boy al around him. The Dem
o-1atic clustering of Two MONTHS had cndel in the
feeble >plLttrrugs uf an aged ard harmless
Democratic conspIrlIor. The New-llampShlre
