Waite, .in acknow- ledgement of the GAZETTE’s congratu- lations on the anniversary of the old patriot’s and stateman’s 80th birthday, states that he is now the oldest practic- in member of the Connecticut Bar. “ do not know,” he writes, “of a sin- gle member, who was admitted to prac- tice before me, and I am still able to attend to all professional and other duties about as well as I ever did."

Hyatt, is already being boomed for the next nominee to head the ticket for Governor at the next State election.— Stamford News. The democrats are likely to "‘go farther and fare worse” and no doubt, will, just as they did last year. Had Mr.Hyatt been their candidate last fall, we should have been saved the ridicu- lous Gubernatorial muddle our state is now in, for the simplest of all reasons, he would have been clearly and distinct- ly elected. He has that way about him, when a candidate. But there, the “ab- solutely independent" and absolutely non-partisan DAInf GAZETTE must stop talking politics. Nevertheless, let the Hyatt boomlet wave.
