ST. LOUIS Sept. 10Th, 1907.
A good Wing feeling has been stirred
up In the City this week, and the spirit of
40, IA and '4S is being re-kindled. Hon.
H. S. GEyER responded to the call of the
"Young Mems Democratic Wing Assoca-
ciation," and addressed large mass, of the
citizens of st. Louis on Thursday evening.
His address was confined chiefly to the two
great questions which divide and distinguish
the Wing and Democratic parties, viz: the
question of Internal improvements by the
general Government and the doctrine of In
PREVENTION. He also canvassed the respect
ives claims and qualifications of the two
Presidential aspirants, and feel no hest
taton in saying, that had the addresses,
with the evidence in the case, been submit
ted to any number of impartial American
citizens. sworn to return a true verdict
that verdict would have been in favor OF
WINFIELD ScorT. The speech is being
published, and doubt not will be read with
great interest throughout the country.
The "Glee Club" added no little to the
interest Of the occasion by singing many pa
triotic Wing songs The young men bore
several beautiful ransparencies, with APP
propriate emblems and mottos upon them,
which assisted greatly in thrusting light
upon dark and benighted Locofocoism.--
These transparencies are great eye-sores
to our Pierce and King friends; and the
Scott and Graham songs are very irritating,
not to say disgustingao them.
The Locofoco party (judging from their
conduct and avowed hostility TO the concord
of sweet sounds, } is composed of that class
of persons described by Shakespeare as
having ''no music in their souls" being sit
for treasons, stratagems and spoils."
A destructive fire occurred last Monday
night on Chestnut street between Third and
Fourth. The Livery Stable ofB. w. Alex
ander, with a considerable amount of val
liable property was destroyed. His entire
loss is said to be ten thousand dollars-no
insurance. The office of the Law Commits
soner was saved almost by a miracle
There was considerable loss of household
property'&c., in these buildings, owing to the
hurried and careless manner in which such
property was carried out.
The amusements of the fall and winter
season have fairly commenced. Bates has
made considerable improvements in the in
ternal arrangements of his Theatre, and has
engaged fine stock company, of which Mr.
Jamison, who was here during the past sea-
son, stands the acknowledged leader.
Mr.. Field has re-opened the ''Varietes"
and is now in successful tide of operations.
A new operate Ballet entitled La Bayadere,
was brought out on last Monday evening to
q crowded house, and has been repeated
(and will be for weeks) each night during
the week to OVERLOOKING houses. The con-
Guiding scene in which series of most brill
liant tableux are presented in rapid sue
cession through the seven spheres, finally
terminating with the Indian Paradise, is the
most magnificent spectacle that ever. wit
messed. 1t receives the universal admira-
ton of all who witness it.
There is an exhibition at Wymans Hall,
Panorama, Brewers glance at the world,
whichis pronounced by critics most excel
lent painting.
A new Theatre is being erected on Olive
near Fourth street, which will probably be
completed during the winter.
On the 18th, wrote You that "the City
was assuming business like aspect" but
did not intend to inform you that business
was beginning to "exhibit great Suavity oil
Manners" and had you put business men, as
was intended, you would have more nicely
conveyed my idea. The types did me in
Justice in one or two instances, but shall
enter no further complaint.
The trial of the Election rioters was
