ONE BRIGHT STAR IN THE EAST!
THE BATTLE IS OVER!
DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHANT!
The fight in the New Hampshire Legislature, which lasted four days, ended on Saturday, the 10th inst. It was a hard fight, as hard as the fight during the campaign in March in the State, but the victory was complete. The Radicals were fairly beaten before the people, but they made an attempt to swindle the Democrats out of the offices at the organization of the Legislature. There were three candidates for Governor, and as the one having the highest number of votes did not have a majority over all, the Legislature had to make the choice. That body met, on the 10th, in Joint Convention and elected the Hon. J. A. WESTON, as Governor. The Radicals resorted to every parliamentary means to stave off the inevitable hour, but it was of no avail. There was hearty co-operation between the Democrats and Labor Reformers, and the result is a decided victory of the taxpayers over the tax grabbers.
The State is about as near O. K. at present as any State in the Union. The result of the election being three Democratic members of Congress (the entire delegation), a Democratic Council, a Democratic Senate, a Democratic House, and a majority of the counties Democratic.
