| in an editorial letter TO the Louisville
Courier Journal. telegraphed tonight,
makes the following statements - to Mr..
| Tilden's candidacy and his connection
with Mr.. Randall in the contest for the
speakership: 1.-THE hackers of Mr.. Ran
dali have all fed once more to stupid talk
about the old ticket and are at this mo-
ment Juggling Mr.. Tilden into the con-
test. / can say positively and Of my own
knowledge that Tilden is as irreconcilably
opposed to the old ticket as he was last
Summer. He would not 60 to Washing
ton to take the oath of office, far less ac-
cept the nomination. Those who connect
his name with the Presidency merely dis
play their own ignorance, or worse. I do
do not believe he raised his hand or Mt
tered . word directly or indirectly in the
speakership contest. Still baffied and
beaten, the Randall men are using the
name Of Tilden in . brutal and vulgar
manner, such ~, il Randall does not dis
claim it, ought to cost him Til
den's personal confidence and respect.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3d. Senator Ed

which he will submit to the Senate soon
after Congress meets. His idea is to have

| the main center. and then have the lines
in the States radiate from the State capt.
tails to the leading postofices. He is OPP
posed to the purchase Of any existing lines.
He has had Q number of consultations
with telegraph experts, and has collected
mass Of figures bearing upon the actual
cost OF building telegraph lines. He has
also examined the latest system OF putting
wire under ground. He called upon the
President and had an interview with him
It is not improbable that the President
may recommend q postal telegraph in his
