probable the appointment will be an

1t looks like an even fight now, be,
tween Postmaster Pyle aud his only
opponent, Major VIM. z. SwIgRett.
the latter is backed by the Stale Cen
trail Committee, and while the influence
OF this committee is insignificant ia
state affairs, II Is supposed TO be all
powerful in Washington, as 1t repre-
seats the stalwart or administration
wing Of the party. Pos master Pyle
ID supported by the Higgins faction of
the Republican party and by strong
business sentiment Ia this olty.
Had President Garfield lived Chas.
K. Gano would been a formidable
candidate, as he enjoyed a personal
acquaintance with the late Chief Ex.
ecnlive and had powerful backing
close to the administration. But with
the death of Garfield his chances ex-
plred, and he Withdrew from the oons
test.

an almost corresponding depression
is noticed among Postmaster Pyle's

THE PERFORMANCE LAST EVENING
Varney's comic. opera OF the "Mus.
keteers" was presented In the 0p psra
House, last evening, by Charles E.
Ford's Comic Opera Oempany. y
The opera was nrst brought Out In
Paris and at once became the rage. In
q very short time its fame had reached
this country, and with his usual en-
tsrprise Mr.. Fold secared the Iibretto
and ct once put In under rehearbAl.
The presentation last evening was the
second that has been given In This
country, the first having been By the
same company in Atlanta, Georgia,
about three weekGago. The company
last evening labored somewhat under
difficulties, as several OF the ladies of
the cherus we're sick and were Obliged
to return to their homes in Batting ire.
This, however, did not detract from
the pleausuFe Of the audience In On
joying the performance. The opera
Is one that VIII become within a worry
short time as popular, II not more 30,
than "Pinafore." From beginning to
end it sparkles with musical germs.
The plot Is pure In tone, and is dne
that is probable. The dialogue is
fresh and bright and the score Of n
usual merit. Through She entire opera
is arranged number of very pre- Ety
solos and duets, and the choruses ars
more dignined than those found in
operas Of this character. Despite The
disadvantages under which the coln-
Pany labored, Mr. Ford may well feel
satisfied at the presentation last eve
ming. Tho leading characters were
well sustained. Mr.. Geo. Denham
acted the character of the .Akbs 10 an
excellent manner, fully sustaining bis
reputation among our theater goers.
W. II. Fitzgerald, as Mar sisss 80
9rsssae, acted and sang In his usual
sxcsllent manner. It seems that bis
ane tenor voice is constantly imprp pv-
ing. Charles #. Lang, IS his comrade
won fresh laurels from those presoat
for the excellent manner in which he
sustained his character. Miss Mad O.
leine Lucette, (Mrs. Geo. .:Denham) as
Marie, niece of the Governor, sang
with unusual spirit, and was encored
several times. AS time passes her
voice seems to become more richer
and of greater power. Miss May
Stembloc as SsmonS, waitress at the
Inn, added greatly to the liyeliness Of
the play. She is as vivacious, If not
more 30, than ever Before. Hor no.
pearance on the stage was greeted by
applause, and several of her solo.
were enoored. Miss Mamie Taylor
fully sustained her reputation az a
singer and actress. She is as char n
ing as ever. These are the principal
characters of the opera, but they Aro
sufficient. The opera is certainly one
that can be enjoyed by every one. 1t
is bound 10 be q success.
