THE TRIUMPHANT SILVERITES.
THE FEELING OF RESENTMENT AND
CONTEMPT TOWARD THE
MAN WHO vETOES.
John Belmont and the
wall street LeI,by DumbfSundcd.

Especial to the Dpmocrat1
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2B-~Ths feeling among the
triumphant silver men toward Hayes Is one Of
mingled resentment and contempt and there
is no telling to what 1t may lead. The general
is, that Hayes has added the crime
OF an attempt to thwart the will of the people
to the fraud of his tenure, and the men who so
savagely kicked his veto OUT OF the Capitol
building are In fine frame Of mind to COM
plete their triumph by kicking him
out of the white House.
But whether Hayes Is molested or not. 1t fs GER
tain that most determined effort will be made
to get John Sherman out Of the Cabinet. and
that without delay.
It is stated on high authority that Hayes did
not make up bis mind to veto the bill until last
might, and that his decision was caused by
assurances from Belmont hat the
Veto Would Ise sustained.
In the Senate Belmont was completely dumb
founded by the perfect Shirlwind with which
theebll was passed over the veto. and the lobby
of Wall street sharks have gone home to- night
the sickest crowd that ever left Washington

THE CARSON OPERA HOUSE.

We consider an apology for another men
ton of the Carson Opera House entirely I'M
necessary. A thing of beauty being Joy
| forever, we can not have too much OF 1t, OF
words to to that effect That placard on the
front of the building, Z" No admlttance,
hadn't any terrors for us. We came, saw.
we made the round of the building Freddy
undertook to explain things to us, but there
was too much noise; and we lost good deal
of what might have been interesting to the
readers of the MORNING APPEAL. Here were
carpenters putting on shingles, mailing floor
ing, saving boards, fathers busy at their
work, Lentz hunting a leak i'll a gas-plpe,
other parties singing mortar and laying bricks
in chimney making, and Jake Tobriner
walking around with his hands in his pockets
md trying to make the urposted believe that
he unders God all that was going on. What
a deal of humbug there is in this little world
At the present rate OF working we have no
doubt that the contractors, Messrs. Cook &
Miller, will be ready to turn the building over
to the stockholders by the last of next month.
The rough flooring is being laid in the dress
circle, while the balance Of the floor, main
building and stage, are finished. This portion
Of the House is SO arranged that seated i'll
any part of it one can obtain a full stage
view, and plug hats ami high bonnets will
here cease to be a nuisance. And speaking
of the stage reminds us that it has been con
structed with a view to the comfort of those
who will " fret and strut their brief hour
upon it, being we'll arranged above and below,
and having three fine dressing rooms under
meath. Everything abou7 the building is
substantial, neat, and evidently intended for
lasting purposes No visitor to the Opera
House, however thronged it may be, need be
Of walls being forced out or of
galleries dropping down. We hope to see the
Carson Opera House in complete running
order early in the coming August, and We
promise the people as tiue a theater as any
modest State Capital ght to ask for.

BILLS OF FARE.

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.

The audience last night at the Whitney
Quartette concert was a splendid one, i'll
Numbers large, and in point of intelligent
criticism it would have been difficult to find
its equal outside our large cities. High as
was expectation as to the excellence of the
disappointed person in the Carson Theate1
last night Every piece on the programme
was well rendered, and the encores, which
were promptly responded to, were about as
many as the original on the printed house
bill Where all the solos, duets, trios and
and quartettes were 50 good, IN fact almost
beyond the range of criticism, it would be as
unfair as impossible to discriminate. Mr..
We have ever heard In these parts, and if the
astronomical figure be admissible in a com
panv where no member is advertised as a star
the gentleman may withOu: doubt be cOnsid-
cred the star of the Quartette. We have
heard more powerful tenors than Mr. Fessen-
den, and certainly us sweet ones, but this is
not saying that he Is not good one, for he
is and a very good one at that. Miss. Ames
has sweet soprano voice, thoroughly and ar
tistically controlled, and she richly deserved
the encores she received last night. Mrs.
Clarke, the accompanied of the party, is a
good contralto, and the audience would have
been pleased to have heard more from her.
Large as was the attendance last night we be-
lieve that could the Whitney Quartette have
vented by prior engagements, they would
have had even better house than last night.
