AT the Democratic caucus in Ward 2 last
night Mr.. James Cunningham officiated as
chairman and Mr.. Edward buddy as secretary.
Mr.. Melaugh declined nomination and made
speech in favor of Mr.. Hassett, who was NOM
mated. Then came the nominations for coun-
cilmen. For an hour and half the ward
room which was crowded to suffocation, was
occupied in voting for first councilman. The
choice lay between Edward buddy and John
Gooding. Everybody voted. Boys put in
their ballots, and some chucked in a handful.
Finally Gooding withdrew and buddy got the
nomination. Then the Greenbackers wanted
Harding put up, and one man sung out, ''if
the Democrats have got to sink, let us sink
without any Greenbackers," which was re-
ceived with great applause. Then the house
was divided to see whether Greepbacker
sholld be taken, but this the checkers couldn' t
tell So the caucus concluded to let the Sec
ond councilman rest for the present and go for
the third. For that position Mannix and Brad
ley were contestants. Finally after good
deal of voting-of the same sort as before
Mannix got the nomination, and then the
caucus took up the second councilman again,
and finally the Democrats who supported a
Democrat were defeated, and Harding was
nominated. But things are not happy in the
second ward.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
LAWRENCE BARRETT.


Mr.. Barrett surely favored his audience
with sufficient variety last evening in the two
plays of the Merchant of Venice and David
Garrick.
Mr.. Barrett's Shylock is one of the least
agreeable of his assumptions to us, and is
marked by more of his mannerisms than al
most any role we have seen him essay. Never
theless he was very impressive in the scene,
where he discovers the loss of Jessica and his
jewels, and exceedingly effective in the trial
SCENE He was called before the curtain at
the close of the play. Mr. Levick appeared to
especial advantage as Bassanio. His reading
of the lines in the casket scene was most de-
lightful, and he acted with natural force
that drew deserved applause. Mr.. Grismer
was a capital Gratiano. Mr.. Mosely and Mr..
Boch were respectively fair as Lorenzo and
Antonio Miss Cummens acted Portia under
standingly, and Miss Wyatt was not'a bad
Jessica.
David Garrick presented Mr.. Barrett in q
most agreeable phase. His representation of
the honest actor, determined to keep his word
at the expense of his love; his drunken scene
in which he fulfilled that promise while his
heart was almost breaking; and finally the
concluding scene in which he became the hus-
band of his choice; throughout all these in the
various phases of emotion, he was admirable.
Mr.. Curran was very good as Simon Ingot
and Mr.. Grismer an excellent Squire Chivy.
We hope to see Mr.. Barrett again soon and
can assure him hearty support whenever he
visits Portland Last nights audience was
one of the most complimentary any actor
might desire from the position occupied by
many in political and professional life, while ii
was also very large in point OF numbers.
LoTTA.
Next Friday and Saturday nights Portland
Theatre will be crowded at the dashing Lotta's
appearance. An exchange says:
No jollier performance could be imagined
porting company at the Park Theatre on Sat-
urday evening. The audience tested the capa
city of the Park theatre to the utmost, ever J
seat being sold long before the performance be-
gan, and every available inch of standing room
being occupied when the curtain rose. The
piece is one of the best in Lotta's repertoire
and tho role affords ample scope for the display
of her inimitable style of acting. She has
been seen here as Little Bright-Eyes many
times. Mr.. Ed. Martin is one of the best rep
resentatives of Billy Bokus ever seen here land
the duets in which he assisted Miss Lolita Sc
cured for them about a dozen recalls. The
support in their respective roles left nothing te
be desired.
The City Hall was packed to repletion las
night and the several actors all appeared to ex
cellent advantage. The tableaux were all ex
ceedingly effective, and iii every respect the
Grand Army are entitled to great praise fol
the excellent entertainment offered. The
house should be crowded every night as it wa!

r. M. Fogg.
Dear Sir:-Your letter of the 18th is received
and will say in reply that if you think best I
will contest the seat in the house, but don't
want to do so unless you think it is sure
thing, for, of course, it will be some expense
and do not feel able to pay out great deal
more unless it is pretty sure thing. The fall
campaign drew pretty hard on me, and really
have had to carry the whole thing in this dis
trict until this year and it has been hard on
me as 1 am not overburdened with the .flthy
lucre of this world; however, if you think it
best and there is fair sight will try it if
you think best for me to go into it please let
me know the points that it is necessary for me
to prove and what kind of proof is wanted.
Now if all you want is to prove that only two
notices were posted can do that by the records
also by the constable who posted them W no
will make affidavit to that effect. 1 think also
that 1 can show that the records were not
made in open meeting also that names were
added to check list on the day of election. Let
me know by return mail what you want me to
do in the matter and 1 will do it if possible L
shall serve notice on the other party that 1
shall contest the seat at any rate, then if we
think there is no sight we can let it drop.
