CrOn.well's Last Night.

Pref. Geo. II. Cromwell completed hi.
engagements in this city last night b,
presenting 4 series Of views that consisted
for the most part of famous things in
sculpture and statuary. Tho audience
was small ono, owing doubtless to the
| very inclement weather, but the enter.
tainmcnt was none the less delightful and
instructive. Many hours might be spent
III studying these famous productions OF
genius, reproduced here with marvellous
fidelity upon the canvas by means of
Prof. CIomwelrs apparatus. Tho artistic
sense and education of the exhibitor quail
ify him in 4 peculiar degree to point out
the beauties of the works portrayed, and
he does it with an intcllig and dis
elimination that carry them directly to the
appreciation of the careful listener and
bcholder. 1t was with very general re-
gret that the audience dispersed last
night, knowing, as they, did, that they
had spent their last night in the atmos-
phere of what can scarcely be longer
called unknown lands since Cromwell has
revealed them, and there was 4 very gen.
cral disposition to accord 4 vote of thanks
to the professor, who. it is hoped, may
be induced to revisit us in the
near future. Among the many famous
centres of art, ancient and modern, visited
during the course of last evening were the
Vatican, the Louvre, the Alhambra.
the Corcoraa gallery, and many other
celebrated public and private collections.
The figures shown included tho Apollo
Bcivc'!erc, Atalarta, Christ, Circassian
Slave, Eve Repentant, Greek Slave, Gany-
mede, Hercules, LAGOON, Musidora,
Sleep Of Sorrow, Three Graces, Venus Of
Milo Venus Of Mcdicis, Venus of Thor
wal!sen, White Captive, with a large
number of others less famous perhaps, but
scarcely less beautiful. There were also
many "gem views" as the professor
aptly terms them, being selected for cxhi-
bltion with reference to the special cllarac-
ter of the entertainment. The statue of
Cen. Muhlcnbers designed for the national
gallery at Washington, and of which the
artist is our own talented townswoman.

GrOunllesS Objections.

Tie editor OF the leading Republi
can journal in Erie has gone to th'
trouble and expense of having an inier
view with VIM. l.. Scott telegraphed Owe
the slate. Mr.. Scott, who is the Penn
Sylvania member of the Democratic ma
tional committee, is represented in Til:
interview, scattered broadcast by the
Republicans, as saying that he will moi
support Mr.. Noble, the regular nominee
of his party. His reasons given for this
refusal are that Mr.. Noble only came
into the Democratic party in 1872
bolted its nomination for state treasurer
in 1879, and that he has not the capacity
for the proper administration of the
Office of state treasurer. The first objec-
tion is not Il valid one; plenty of
good men came into the Demo-
cratic party in 1872, at their own
personal and political cost, have remain
ed in it to their own credit and to the
advantage of the party, and deserve well
of it. Their nomination to an office by
regular convention of the party is as
much entitled to its respect and support
as any other. AS to the allegation that
Mr. Noble and his friends did not sup
port Mr.. PiOllet for state treasurer in
1915, we are expressly and directly au-
thorized 10y Mr.. Noble himself to say
that this is not true that he did then
support the Democratic nominees fully
and heartily. He is competent to know
what lie did, and there is no reason
whatever to doubt or gainsay his asser-
tion Oh this point. AS to his
fitness for the place to which he is
named, his success in business and in
the administration of his private affairs,
contradict Mr.. Scott's estimate of him.
His neighbors have repeatedly honored
him with their suffrlges for mayor and
member of the Legislature and elected
him 10y unusual majorities against odds !;
his D"n"cratic fellow citizens have tes-
titled cnphatically to his uprightness |
and intelligence and he has not fallen
short bi the duties OF the places to which
they elevated him. Mr.. Scott says he
never signed Il certificate to this effect to
which lIis name was appended it is
certainly the first time he ever denied it,
though it was published Il year ago.
Mr.. Scott will not vote for Noble
neither will the editor of the paper which
he is popularity supposed to control.
Although they will not vote for Baily.
