no part in politics in New Hampshire and
told the people that while he was glad
that Mr.. Mellen had said what he did,
they ought to see to it that the railroads
kept out of politics in the future, not be-

The colonel contrasted the New York
republican convention with that of the
democrats, repeating his assertion that
the latter was manipulated by Tammany
