To the Editor Of The EUening Telegraph.
DEAR SIR:-In your editorial last evening upon
'The New Democratic Ticket" you say that it would
not be bad idea for the Republican Executive COM
mittee to nominate members of the State Legisa-
ture in place of Messrs. Stokes Adare, Davis Hong,
Bum, and Cloud whose course in the Legislature
last winter was so exceedingly Objectionable. Your
recommendation, # carried out, would the Re-
publican party several members of the next Legsla
ture, for few if any of these men can be elected
The writer lives in the Tenth district, which has
had the Misfortune to be msrepresented by one Of
these men, BY careful observation and inquiry
feel satisfied that Mr.. Davis cannot be re-elected
although the district is largely Republican. The in
teligent voters of that party are not going to vote
the ticket bndly this fall, or at any time and are
determined not TO be sold like beeves at Smitheld
for another year. The Democratic party, as you say
has set us good example by selecting good men for
their city ticket II The bad men on our ticket wont
resign then throw them overheard, commencing
with the men whose names head this letter. You
may rest assured that in the bold stand you have
made against the members of the last Legislature
you have the support of every true Republican. 1t
would be fortunate for the country If every Repub
lcan paper would do as much towards purifying the
party. A FIFTEENTH WARD REPUBLICAN.

The attempt to produce this work by the Richngs

justified by the results.
Last evening Norma was performed to a slim house,

lacked in numbers. Mrs. Bernard has never been in
better voice than she has this season. and she acted
and sang latt evening with fervor and expression
