PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.


David Dudley Field managed Tilden's case
as his special representative. Now Field
turns up at Syracuse as his bitter antagonist
-anothcr illustration of Tilden's capacity for
alternating friends.
Ex-U United States Marshal Pitkin OF Louis
lana thinks the time has come in that State
for fusion Of the Republicans with the con-
servativc clement Of the Democracy.
The New lorl, Jo'pAal cf Commcrce, the
well-known commorcial paper, and Demo
cratic in its tendencies, SAYS of Mr.. Cornell,
the Republican candidate for Governor that
whatever his faults and deficiencies may be,
he is not tool of the railroads." The duty
Of the State 10 regulate railroads is one of
the prominent issues in the campaign.
The vaults of the Treasury Department
contain 800 tons Of standard silver dollars
vet in some sections Of the country advocates
OF unlimited coinage may still be found.
On the first Monday of October the people
oi Connecticut vote upon the proposition to
amend the Constitution 50 as to have bien-
nlal sessions Of the Legislature. The Demo-
cratic managers are as a rule opposed to the
amendment while the Republicans outside
! Of Hartford take the other side If the pro
posltlon should be defeated there must be an
/ election Of a House of Representatives As
the present House is Republican, the Demo-
Gratis would like TO defeat the proposition So
I as to have an opportunity to try to elect a
new House
