In the recent hard work done by
prominent Republicans in the vari,
Gus States, none stands out more
conspicuously for its brilliancy and
efficiency than tlat of James G.
Blaine. He worked constantly for
weeks before the election in his own
State, and started a wave Of victory
that swept over other States, en-
couraging and cheering Republicans
everywhere. The battle closed and
the victory won at home, he pro-
ceeded to Ohio, where he did gal
liant service and contributed as
much as any other n man
to the splendid Republican success
in the Buckeye State. He then
went to Iowa and Wisconsin, and
closed with a grand charge on the
enemies line in New York. He has
gone wherever his services were de-
manded without regard to the effect
that victory in any particular local
ity was to have on any man wko
might be considered 8 rival of his
in any aspiration he may cherish.
By his recent services he has added
largely to his already great popu-
larity with the masses of his party.

DUTIES OF THEATRE MANAGERS

We trust that the mnnagements of tho dif
! farent theatres, and particularly Of the Bour
bon Street Opera House, will bear In mind the
remarks Of the DEMOCRAT Sunday morning
relative to the rights of audiences. The point
to which we especially refer Ia the odious and
lintolerablo custom Of allowing the aisles and
passages to become blocked with men for
whom there are no seats thus practically de-
stroying the comfort and enjoyment Of all
who are located at the outskirts or in close
proximity to these aisles and gangways IT
IS no excuse to plead that the theatres have
no right to refuse admittance to persons who
are willing to pay for u standing chance.
There Is O contract between the theatre and
every one who has bought seat, and this
contract binds the management to protect
him IN the privileges for which he has paid.
IT other persons are allowed subsequently, to
crowd in and TO act In such manner as to de-
prive person OF his view and enjoyment of
tho performance, then the theatre violates Its
contract and may justly be arraigned Ms act
ing IN bad faith with the public
a specially forcible illustration Of this evil
Is to be found In the custom which now pre-
walls at the French Opera House on popular
nights. and 1t was 10 this matter In particular
that we addressed ourselves. 1t Is a fact that
much complaint has justly been made by the
occupants Of those seats and boxes which are
affected by the bad habit of allowing men to
thronR the aisles and passage ways. Persons
who came forward at the outset and con-
tributed their share OF the fund which &C.
cured the opera season most certainly have
claim to be protected In the privileges for
which they paid 50 handsomely and literally.
On Saturday night, and, previous to that,
upon other nights when the house was crowd
ed, their claim received no sort OF recognition
at the hands Of the management. 1t Is no.
torious that men We're allowed to throng
and jam oil the open spaces, obscur-
ing the view OF dozens of people,
subscribers or purchasers of seats, annoying
all adjacent spectators by their conversation.
and actually subiecting to physical inconve-
nience by crowding the occupants OF end
seats and boxes. This Is all wrong 1t shows
faulty or slovenly management. 1t suggests
the idea that the directors care more for tax
ing In few extIa dollars than for consider
Ing the comfort Of their patrons It is an In
Jury to the reputation and business of any
theatre. We trust, for the sake of the Opera
House aud In behalf of the cause of opera,
hat this very reprehensible practice will be
abolished 1t Is very poor encouragement !

Apropos of the squabbe over the returns
In Maine. the Portland Advertiser. Repub-
Noan paper, admits that the position taken by
fhe Governor and council Is strolig one. The
Advertiser admits that there Il nothing III the
constitution about the amending OF returns.
and adds: 1T may fairly be doubted whether
the legislation providing for such amendment
is warranted by the constitution. If the Gov
ernor and council take this position eonsis-
tently, and summon the persons who appear
TO be elected by the returns made on the
eighth OF September, no reasonable fault can
be found" This seems TO be what Gov Gar
celon intends to do. His position has been
constantly misstated In the dispatches. He
has refused to allow the returns for members
OF the Legislature to be inspected for amend
menf, 1t Is true; but has founded this kction
upon the constitution OF the State, WHICH re-
quires that the returns shall be forwarded to
The Legislature just as they are .secaived. All
the efforts to move the Governor 4ffom this
position and cause him to disregard the or
ranie law of the State have failed thus far,
and the bulldozing mob at Augusta now
despair Of attaining their object. The Gov
,rnor has developed unexpected tirmness, and
j no more moved by the rabble snarling ct
lis heels than he was by the unlawful and in
client demands of Blaine. !
