 THE LIEUTENANT GOvERNORsHIP An Interview with Senator Graham
 HOwHe stood With Reference to She Nomination.
 In an interview with Senator James Gra- ham of Orange yesterday the gentleman was inquired ofwith reference to the use of his name in connection with the Republican nomination for Lieutenans Governor. Mr. Graham said that he found that he had been placed in the light of having sought the nom- ination, or so it would agpear to some, where- as the contrary was the fact. He had not sought it, nor raised finger for 1t. The mention of his name in the first place was complete surprise and wholly unthought of by him. In the publication of the fact some weeks ago that he was most eligible and available man for the nomination, which it was conceded would fall to New Haven coun- ty, as Hartford was to have the nomination for the first place this time, MT. Graham had good humoredly responded to allusions to the subject made by his friends at the Repubii- can league and elsewhere, and received many letters of approval and congratulation from all parts of the State. Mir. Graham further said that not step had he taken nor made g move to forwardShis interests in the case or promote his chances for the nomination, and further than that, he had upon learning that the name of his personal friend, Gen. Mer- win, had been placed in the field announced his entire acquiescence in that movement. He had not sought or bargained for, or made the slightest move in the direction of secur- ing the nomination. The same state of facts applied with reference to his relation to Gen. Greeley, whose name had been similarly used by friends of that gentleman with reference to the nomination, Mir. Graham saying that he had expressed to prominent Republicans the wish that his name be not used to preju- dice in any way the movement in favor of Gen. Greeley, which that gentleman had sup-. pressed at an early stage in the progress Of events. Mr. Graham therefore thought this would set at rest any idea which might be entertained that he had been personally in the field as a contestant for the honor in question. Such an honor must come to him unsought and as the wish of the people of the Etata.

 road Neses.
 The four tracking of the New York and New Haven division of the Consolidated road
 is being pushed rapidly, in striking contrast
 with the four track work on the Harlem road,
 over which the New York and New Haven
 trains r4n from Woodiawn to the Grand
 Central depot. The Consolidated road now
 has four tracks completed from New Rochelle
 Junction to Mamaroneck, distance of seven
 miles, and the extra pair of tracks is now
 being laid between Mamaroneck and Port
 Chester, distance of eight miles. The road will have four tracks from New Rochelle Junction to Port Chester, fifteen miles by Oc-
 tober or November next. The New York
 Central road trains run oyer the Harlem road
 from the Grand Central depot to Spuyten
 Duyvil, distance of four miles, where they turn to the northward to go up the Hudson
 river track. This part of the Harlem Is four tracked. The part between Spuyten Duyvil and Woodlawn (where the Harlem train and
 the New Haven part company is being four tracked but at g very slow rate, 50 that the progress made is hardly perceptible from week to week. The distance from Spuyten Duyyil to Woodlswn is about six miles. The portion of the New York and New Haven road from Woodlawn to New Rochelle Junc- tion is left for the present with only double track, as the big need of four tracks comes in at the junction, where comes in the big and constant flow of freight from the trans- portation floats
 The iron work is now in place for the ele- vated tracks between Asylum and Church
 streets, Hartford. It is seven or eight hun dred feet lOng-uprights, cross pieces, etc. a completed structure not unlike that of the New York elevated roads. All this iron framework was made in Philadelphia from ! drawings by MT. Curtis, the engineer of the Consolidated road. None of the makers of | the iron work ever saw the new depot or ite I site. The iron was sent to Hartford and the parts were put together; and now let the render imagine what was the variation devel oped when the last of the pieces was put in place. It was less than an eighth of an inch. This is pronounced an unprecedentedly accu- ! rate piece of work and it reflects much credit ! on MT. Curtis and the iron workers and shows ! what can be done by accurate and competent engineers when they try.
 The peach train is now making it's regular ! trips aud several cars are left here daily. Lo- quality than usual for the earlier varieties. Talked the situation over Last Night. The Democratic Town committee met last eveving at it's headquarters in the HoadIey building, talked over the situation and laid plans for the campaign.

 Officials of the Consolidated road say that until the present time table went into effect the system of running was arranged more out of regard for the commuters between Stam- ford New York than for the through travel ing public. Under the new system it is not pretended that the commuters who pay one- third of cent mile are gstting as good ser vice as through travellers who pay two cents mile. Several of the Greenwich commuters who recently signed the memorial complain ing of the present service subsequently, sent in letters withdrawing their signatures.

An official of the Consolidated road in speaking of delays complained of said: Many people do not fully understand the way trains are run over this road between New York and Boston. Nine out of every ten think that we own all the track between these places, but as a matter of fact our track stops at Harlem Junction and New London. The principal cause in the delay of trains arises out of the inefieiency of the service be- yond those points" The cause of delay is further explained in the article above, which speaks of where the Consolidated road begins at the New York end
