Mr. R,ack is interesting himself personally III
the Congress election in the Columpia-neh

lican. He expressed an earnest hope to-day 'hae
every Congressman from New-York state woud
be a sound-money man.
In 1871 this dlStrlCt Nds oaP'"i0" ''N
Democratic party by Mr.. Black by vote Vi
2O954 to 1874. given for Charles ~ ffa'hes
vho was then the Congressman. 1t happens
that Mr. Haines is now a strong Sound Money
Democrat. and is Iaborlng hard to bring about
the election Of Mckinley and Hobart.
Another reason why Mr.. Black Is concerhihs
himself about tie district Is that United
States Senator Murphy lives in Troy. and
controlling as he does the treasury or the
Democratic State Committee, will spend large
nort of its funds in this section OF the state
~ Nurnhv can crowd down the home vote OF

arrest of Bat" Shea for the murder OF ROBERT
Ross there has been no man In the STATE 'owaru
whom Murphy has felt more political hosti'i'y
than he has to Mr. Black
