The Townsend Henent.

We wrote quite an extended criticism
on the performance of Saturday night,
which was crowded out by press of
matter. The performance was 50 ex-
cellent for amateurs that even at this
late date we feel 1t our duty to notice
the efforts of the various performers,
The "Robbers Of the Heath" was the
first piece presented, and was received
with shouts of laughter. All the
performers were well up in their
parts, and seemed perfectly familiar
with the stage business, something
that amateurs are generally deficient
in. Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Townsend and
Miss O'Bierne played their parts easily
and gracefully and received repeated
rounds of applause. Mr.. McNealus, to
use common expression, showed up
we'll and proved himself a far better
delineator of the ludicrous than OF the
sentimental.
Little Edith Maud Ellis received a
hearty encore tor her song of "Dallas
Society,"" and sang her favorite of
"Good night, God bless YOU" We
would suggest to the management that
base viol, violin, piano, etc, is rath-
err too loud an accompaniment for a
child's voice, and that little Edith is
apt to overtask her voice under such
circumstances.
The Levi Brothers and Marks were
hOnored bya triple encore. The duet
between Miss O'Bierny and Mr.. Ellis
was warmly applauded, and the gave
q duet from ii TrOvatOre, in
response to the encore Mr.. Williams
made tolerable "old man." only it
was impossible to hear him at the back
part of the hail. Mr.. TOwnsend's reci-
tations of Hamlet, were good, with the
exception of his GESTURES which We're
eXecrable.
Mr.. Booth rs Tooddles was very good
for an amatuer. Taken all in all the
performance was success, and we
sincerely hope that Mr.. Townsend will
reap substantial benefits from it.

clip the following complimentary crit

Opera House last evening to witness
the first performance of the three

TO abur Cnn,Ii,iates.

We clip the following from the Com
merclal Of yesterday, and heartily en-
dorse the suggestions embodied In the
article
"ris now only fifteen days to cleo
ton, and the question OF the printing
and distribution Of election tickets II
one Of vital importance TO those who
desire the sulirages Of the people. Ow-
ing 10 the fact that 30 many candl-
dates are running, II Is almost impossl-
BILE TO get correct ticket made out, az
the candidates put OIL I'LL the last mo-
ment the notification to the printer,
that they want their names on the
ticket.
ave have suggestion TO make,
which we think will demonstrate the
easiest way TO arrange matters aud
have satisfaction given on all sides.
There are eight precincts In the coun'
ty, all differing In the number OF votes
and therefore requiring different num-
beers OF tickets. We think the easiest
way would be to have the candidates
hold n meeting say next Thursday At
3 o'clock p. M, ut the Courthouse, and
to decide on the number of tickets re-
quired for the county; then TO divide
the county into precincts, and to fix
the number Of tickets for each precinct
let m executive committee be appoint
ed, whose duty 1t shall be to have the
tickets printed, and let them make oul
the copy OF the ticket, for each pre-
cinct, with the State and county ofli'
GERS attached, and to attend to theil
distribution"
"For instance, so many tickets fol-

candidates for that precinct, and the
State and county officers. The same
thing for Precinct No. 2, with the
names changed for that locality. Let
the committee calculate the cost and
number required for the whole county
and assess the candidates, aud furnish
the printers with the cory. BY this
means uniformity and accuracy are Sc
cured, but II each candidate has to
come ito the office separately, 1t will
be impossible to know how many
tickets are wanted, and some will neg
