MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
OUR GERMAN SENATOR

OUh GEhhAN oENA1OR'
This broad farce was presented at Portland
Theatre last night and was received with
shouts of laughter. Gus Williams, as Adoiph
Drinkel, the retired Western brewer and Sena-
torial candidate, brims over with fun. His
local hits, songs and Rotations are very
laughable. He has made considerable i'm
proyement in the piece and his telephone scene
in the second act is very amusing The audi
ence applauded everything heartily. The
company which supports sour German Sena-
tor" is good one, Mr.. j. f. Stevens taking
the part of Col. Bruce, Mr.. Hudson Liston
so well known Incorporating Judge Jere
Spruce, and Miss Dora Stuart taking the char.
the Senator. The play will be repeated at the
matinee to-day, and tonight Mr.. Williams
will appear as Prof Keiser.
LIEUT.. wARDoUR.
Great interest is manifested in the coming
production of Lieut. Wardour at Portland
Theatre next Monday evening. The occasion
for this is that if the performance is successful
it is most probable the play will be taken
around the country by Mr.. Wheelock. We
have given the opinions of the best Boston
critics on the play and Mr.. Wheeock' g inter-
probation of the character, criticisms that, for
praise, are far beyond what is usually awarded

company is said to have been most carefully

arm-n-arm convention held III Saratoga
| IN 80, but In this they failed. They have also
failed to effect bargain with Tammany to obtain
its support for Edward Cooper. The result is that
they oppose Tammany's admission. The fact
that Jarvis Lord, Delos DeWolf and other MEN,

with it's old band of shouters breathing defiance. Is
initiating somewhat against its admission. This
will not, however, prevent it. Tammany will be

There is still great doubt as to candidates because
of the uncertainty as 10 where the seventy-two
votes of New-York City will CO. Any
combination that will take in those
votes will be strong. General Slocum has

Nelson will have the vote of Dutchess County,
and Erastus Corning that Of Albany and Troy.
Cleveland viii have the vote of Erie and adjoining
counties to the number of fifty delegates, or there

General SlOcum. Flower will obtain his strength
from the central part of the State. with what lew
votes he get in the city. 1t Is difficult to see
where the votes which his friends claim
will nominate him to come from. Little is said
about the platform except that it is TO contain a
strong .nti-monopoly plank, with bid for the
labor vote.
Augustus Schoonmaker is mentioned as the prob
