WHY A CHANGE?
Some Reasons Why a Change Of
Administration is Necessary
To Secure Good Government and
Vindicate the Will Of
the People.

REPUBLICAN sHAMs.

Albany Argus. 1lth.l
REPUBLICAN sHAMs.
There should be a change of parties:
Because the republican declarations
against the democrats are false, as
witness: Rebel claims" There are
no rebel claims. The constitution for
bids them. Southern claims" The
congress democracy has defeated them
all. The congress republicans passed
800, 000, 900 Of them. Southern re-
pudiation." No southern state has
repudiated its debt at all. "Constitu-
tiOnal amendments" The democracy
gains all by the negro suffrage the
republicans hoped to gain. South
crn supremacy" There are 1000, 600
more democratic votes in the north
than in the south. The southern
congressman have voted for economy
and freedom and reform. The north
ern republican congressman have
voted for corruption, force and all
abuses.
THE STOLEN PRESIDENCY.
There should be a change of par
ties: Because the republican party
stole the presidency of the United
States. The republican politicians
falsi6ed the votes of three states.
They did so by a conspiracy formed
months before the election; they
made the senate and supreme court
co-conspirators they secured the aid
Of malefactors they gave every male
factor a federal office; the man they
counted in was blackmailed by those
who counted him in he, in turn,
raided the treasury to fee his creators.
The stolen presidency has made
crimes of even the virtues of the adj
ministration. To condone the steal
would be to insure a repetition every
four years.
THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION.
There should be a change of par.
ties: Because the republican party
is a lawless and promise breaking
party. It's senate pressed the electoral.

The comic Opera, The SOrcerer
by Miss Fannie Arnold, the prims
donna of the play. and her splendid
company. rendered at the Marsh
Opera House last Thursday evening
and repeated Friday evening, was an.
other most complete triumph fol
Brownville's musical and dramatic
talent.
We have spoken of this opera go
frequently during its rehearsals, that
our readers are familiar with our ideas
regarding its merits; and as every
body, nearly, witnessed the play, it
would seem SUPERB. uous and egotisti-
cal for US to enter into a detail.
ed review regarding the merits or de-
merits of the numerous characters of
the opera. But for the pleasure of
the Sorcerer company, we will say
that their opera-singing and acting
has been accorded universal praise
by the refined classes of people who
know what to expect of, aud how to
appreciate. operate entertainments.
Operas, especially those of the COM
lie cast, are not presented to theatre
going people, for the sake of the
threadbare moral that usually
"adorns a tale" or winds up drama.
Comic operas are understood and ex-
pected to be in matter and plot moth
ing more than ludicrous but chaste
and tastefully arranged story, told in
the harmony of musical notes, inter-
spersed with thrilling songs, solos,
duets, quartets, choruses, etc. The
com bin alton of musical talent, enlist
ed in the rendition of The Sorcerer
by amateurs ofthis little city has been
the occasion of remarks of wonder and
admiration, by critics from abroad as
well as at home. We doubt if it
could be excelled by any city in the
State.
The SOrcerer, Is a combination of
rapid. pleasant transitions, and as
presented in the attractive costumes
of our Brownville performers, the
rapture of the audience is fed and sus-
tanned by each enthrilling scene,
from the ringing entree of the pretty
peasantry to the dazzling finale.
Miss Arnold, by solicitation, has
consented to present The Sorcerer in
the opera house at Falls City, Satur-
day evening 31st inst. The people of
that city may anticipate rare enter
tainment.
