POSTMASTER GENERAL KEY
in an interview to-day said he believed, as he
always had believed, that Tilden was elected.
and that Hayes was counted in by fraud. He
said he held that view from the first and

was appointed Postmaster General. This is
the first time Key has ventured to express an
opinion since he sat in the Senate as a Demo-
cratic Senator
The bill for the renewal and enlargement of
THE NEW ORLEANS MINT
with an appropriation for the purpose, was
unanimously reported to the House to-day
from the Committee on Coinage, and will be
passed at once.
The nomination Of Smith cannot be taken
