The investigation into Osborne’s lobbying for the New England Printing Telegraph Company ties to police station tech and stock gains, while Governor Russell backs Colonel Stone and temperance-leaning choices amid liquor dealer influence in Boston politics.

Action on Ballot Reform Bill Divides New Hampshire House
Concorp N H March 26 Special to the Post Harry Bingham Democratic leader is accused of misdirecting the Republican majority on ballot reform. A report by a majority of the special committee opposes the Republican chairman and defends his bill, likely dooming session approval. The party split widens as only a few Republicans cross lines. The Judiciary Committee sent a preamble and resolutions to the Supreme Court about the Concord railroad purchase. The questions ask if the state may buy under charter, sell or transfer rights, and what payment would be required, with the court to define any rights. Republicans fret over Farmers Alliance moves and a looming railroad issue in politics for two years. A special Supreme Court session is planned, with a decision expected soon. The House quickly passed the Public Statutes with 200 amendments following a member’s urging to expedite.
