A NEW DODGE.
Mr.. D. H. Thing to be the Bourbon
Leader

1t is stated that there was gathering of
Democratic magnates in this city Wednesday,
at which it was agreed that the disgraceful re-
suit OF the contingent fraud would render it
prudent for all prominent old Bourbons to re-
tire from the field this season. The scheme
which was coneocted was this: To bring for
ward as the party leader, Mr.. d. 81. Thing,
the well known Granger who went into Fus-
ion politics last season but has not been con-
nected with the contingent business. Mr.
Thing, the Bourbons claim, can play high
jinks with the farmers and divert a large vote
under the guise of laborers' and farmers
party as "new man. The meeting. it is
said, chuckled over this plan as furnishing an
admirable outlet for the malcontents to rally
around the questions of railroad monopoly, un-
equal taxation and alleged aristocratic dis
elimination against the farmers, and is con-
sequence of the call for the grand farmers raj
ly in Lewiston some time since, which was
decided failure as political boom. Notwith-
standing the unpromising beginning the
movement under Mr.. Thing and few politi-
cal malcontents is to be encouraged by the

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA,
THE GALLEY SLAVE.

THE GALLEY SLAVE
Last night Barley Campbell's play of the
Galley Slave was produced in Portland
Theatre before a large and fashionable audi
ence. Mr.. BARLEY Campbell is prolific
play-writer whose works have only lately re-
ceived recognition to any extent upon the
stage; now he is at the flood-tide of success.
The Galley Slave possesses the advantage of
having its scenes laid in picturesque resorts
enabling the scenic artist to delight the eye by
the skilful use of the brush. He takes the
spectator to Venice, Rome, the Rhine, Mar
settles and Paris, and, in fact, the pictures of
Venice and Rome as represented on the
Portland stage by the scenery brought by the
company, are really decided feature. The
construction of the play is good. The piece is,
as it were, two plays in one; the first melo-
drama, the other broad comedy. Laughter
and tears are presumed to alternate through
out. The plot-which has been published in
the PREss-is good and affords several very
strong situations. The language is poor and
the bon mots are, for the most part forced. In
the hands of fair company and without the
aid of the scene painter, the Galley Slave
would be very tiresome. With an excellent
company it can afford much pleasure.
The ladies and gentlemen who appeared last
night apparently gave great satisfaction. The
audience was interested, and at times, demon
strative.The gentlemen of the corps d7anaatique
were all admirable. Mr.. j. F. Wheelock
who impersonated Norcott, the artist, had a
part intrusted to him that hardly afforded him
proper opportunity for the display of his
powers, and, in the scenes Of all others
Iyr lint az In nd ~ h uI
where Norcott discovers from Cicely the fatal
mistake which led to her and his loss,) he was
SO unfortunate as to have for Cicely lady,
Miss Tyler, who was oyerweighted with the
character she assumed, thus detracting in
measure from the power and effect Of the
scene. In the quieter moments of the drama
Miss Tyler proved herself much more satisfac-
tory, but she is lacking in sympathy, and loses
much OF the effect she might produce from
lack OF reserve force. Mr.. Wheelock, how
ever, was as usual magnetic. earnest and
strong.
Mr.. j. b. Booth gave very artistic, finished
representation of Oliver Oliphant, the Scotch
Cresus. and his scene with Mrs. Gay, where
the widow pops the question, was one of the
best features Of the piece. Mr.. Owen Fawcett
an excellent Baron, Mr.. Dufield good
Napier, while Mr.. Arlington gave commend
able little character hit as Carrot the iailor.
The ladies were hardly equal to the parts
for which they were cast. Miss Barbour
lacked the passion and fire of the Italian race,
and Miss Neville was too light weight for
Psyche, although she played conscientiously
and did not offend Mrs. Stoneall was most at
home as the Widow Gay and should be COM
mended. Mr.. Wheelock and Miss Tyler were
called out at the close of the third act and
Miss Tyler was presented with basket of
beautiful flowers. The play was exceedingly
well dressed, and there should be large houses
tonight and tomorrow. especially at the mat

was postponed to later date. The plans OF

very satisfactory and resemble somewhat those
of the Butler School. They provide, however,
for large hall for general exercises in the
third story and for two school rooms on either
side of this hall, which can be used at a future
date if needed.

Loyal League of Portland.

We were permitted yesterday to examine
the new rooms of the Loyal League which
have been recently fitted up by Hon. J. B.
Brown, in his block corner of Congress and
Brown streets. Located on this great thor
oughfare of the city-Congress street and near
Market Square-it will be seen that for loca-
ton and surroundings the rooms cannot be ex-
celled. full suit of rooms has been fitted
up on the second floor, holding width of
about thirty feet on Congress street and ex-
tending the entire depth of the block on Brown
street. The main audience and reading room
fronts on Congress street, and for light and
convenience cannot be surpassed.
In the rear and connected with the reading
room is the committee room, handsomely fur
nished for that purpose, and directly in the
rear of the committee room is the smoking
room. The audience and reading room is now
being furnished by q subcommittee of the
executive committee, consisting 81 Messrs
Albion Little, S. W. Thaxter and A. f. Ger
IRISH. In this room will be found the leading
newspapers and periodicals of the country
open at all times to the members. Altogether
this suit of rooms-which the League has
been fortunate in securing-for location, con-
venience, and general adaptation to the wants
and designs, could not be improved. A iani-
tor is to be employed and the rooms to be
kept, at all times of the day and evening,
opened to the members. The success of this
organization, so long needed in this city, is
already assured, and its membership, which is
rapidly increasing, comprises very many of the
best and and most influential Republicans OF
the city. The objects of the League we have
before stated and may be briefly summed up
as follows:
a. OF consolidating and harmonizing Re-
publican sentiment and opinion in this city.
e. For giving moral support and encour-
agement to the Representatives of the Repub-
lican party in times of emergency.
g. For giving an opportunity for free
interchange Of views upon the current politi-
cal topics.
a. For the entertainment of distinguished
citizens of this and other states.
AS soon as fitted up the rooms will be form.
ally dedicated and opened to the League.
