THE DRAMA.
Golfers :. I;ankor's Daughter " at the Opera
House.

Golfers l." I;ankcr's Daughter " at the Opera
House.
The presentation of Bronson Howard
play OF The Bankers Daughter" by J.
W. Golfers company last evening, at.
tracted !. brilliant and fashionable audience
that entirely filled the oper:, house. Moth
ins was lacking to make the performance
praiseworthy throughout, and the audience
sat through the five acts with pleased and
continually growing satisfaction. The
story is familiar to playgoers and readers.
The sacrifice Of :. daughter to save her
father: her marriage with man she does
not love. but who is the soul OF
honor and pure devotion; his discovery of
his wite's Indifference to him, after having
lived with her for period Of years Offer
ing daily his devotion at q shrine which
with the blindness of love he could not see
was veiied to him; their separation, and in
the end the husbands S recall by the wife,
who, during his absence, has learned to
know how we'll she loved him-all this is
related with, Il wealth of incident that en-
gaYes and retains the closest attention and
a depth o: patllos that appeals to the ill.,
most sensi6i:ities of the spectator. The
intrinsic merit of this really excellent
work is not lessenesl by the fact that it is
entirely devoid Of the tendency to cater to
morbid appetite that comprises rock o.:
cffense in SO many g society plays.
The cast last evening was nearly identi-
cal with that by which the piece was given
here last year. The engagement of Mr..
i. G. Bangs, to impersonate the leading
male role OF John .S.re6elou, is a valuable
acquisition to the strength Of the COM
pany. Mr.. Bangs is good actor who has
successfully played star engagements in
classic parts in many of the leading thea
tres of the country, and the quality of his
metal is seen to fine advantage in his in
.crprctat ion of this role calling for the ex-
hibision of pure, manly, chivalrous love
and pitiful suffering. In every phase
of the character he meets all demands
in admirable style. Signor Majeroni re-
mains with the company, and his rendition
of the role Of the passionate and jealous
Frenchman is an artistic piece of work.
Mr.. Charles Walcot develops an unexpect-
ed amount Of humor in his rather unim-
portant part of an American tourist in the
dry goods line, and the other gentlemen Of
the cast filled all requirements. Miss
Anna Boyle. a remarkably pretty young
lady, made 4 very favorable impression in
the title role: her acting in the scene in
which she disc!oses to her husband her
fancied love for another being especially
powerful, and evoking from the audience
a persistent effort to call her before the
curtain, which, however, failed. Mrs.
Waleot is always good, and she main
tanned her reputation in the character Of
Florence St. Vincent Broun, the giddy-
pated butterfly, who serves TO amuse and
vex during the entire performance. The
Costumes, scenic effects and general mount.
ing of the play were uncommonly hand
some.

GarfielG's Plans.


Garfield's cabinet making is the chief
topic of consideration among the po!iti-
clans of his party and the busy news
paper correspondents who buzz around
Mentor. They seem to agree that Blaine
is to he secretary of state and most likely
that Allison or James F. Wilson will be-
come secretary of the treasury, which
two most important positions being as
signed to the syndicate of Garfield,
Blaine and Allison, the remainder OF the
cabinet forms a subject for speculation
that is of minor interest. These two
portfolios will include the assignments 10
foreign missions and the lucrative and
influential positions in the elaborate
financial system of the country. For the
organization of commanding political in
fiuence they are worth more than all tie
other cabinet places, and Garfield can
afford to dispose of the Others AS
make.weights in his scheme of harmony
within the party by concilation of all
factions. Mr.. Cameron may get one OF
his ponies in for secretary of war, and
New York may he satisfied with the pro-
motion of liz r postmaster to the postmas'
ter generalship; Mr.. Garfield will see
that the secretaryship of the interior
does not get into dangerous hands, and
the sentimental element Of his party
will be placated with some eminent law
yer for attorney general.
When the crew is completed and the
ship fully manned, the port for which il
will be seen to be steering will he the
second term. The controlling influences
of the new administration are to he thoss
which secured Mr.. Garfeld's nomination
and not the stubborn Grant fact!oi
which went down at Chicago without
lowering its battle flags. Gal!ield's ad
ministratiun will he strn':.':l within it

artful dodger,r but he will lie confront

and the outbreaks of Mr.. Hayes, in Ties
latter days of his administration, a"ains
the stalwarts are not going to make Gal
