Recent elections indicate the popular ity of the new policy with the people. Chicago and Cincinnati each gave Tilden a majority. but at at recent elections they have gone heavily republican. Tn this state. the city elections show similar ten dencies. New Britain. which went Demo cratic last fall, elects Republican mayor and city officers. this Spring. If Blaine. Butler, Packard and Go. wish to put a stop toehis sort of thing they must strike out at once.
 Matters seem to be approaching con- clusion in Louisiana. It is expected that the compromise legislature will consist of those shown by the returns, before their manipulation by the returning board, to have been elected. This will give the Democrats control of the legis- lature and is strenously opposed by Packard.
 The decision by the Supreme court of the Centennial case. preferring the gov 1 ernment claim to that of the stockhold- CTS, takes $T,5O0OO0 mainly out of the pockets of the Philadelphians. Connect icut. however. loses $8, GOO by the decis- ion. The result will be to cripple the project for permanent exhibition at the old building.
 Attention is called to the new full double column advertisement of Reed, the Bridgeport Ciothier. He offers an aston ishing assortment of mems and boys suits at astonishingly low prices, besides over coats, furnishing and rubber goods of all descriptions.
