to look to THE TRIBUNE alone whenever grese
orator or brilliant lecturer appears or an importsnp
meeting Is held. In no other New-York paper can

ners or memorable political gatherings that are
adequate or exact.
The With Senate District Is so strongly Demo-
cratic that no Republican candidate has oeen
named. The two Democratic nominees arc lin
Campbell and Edward McCue. 1t would De hard
to extract from tho public record of the former
O single circumstance on which favorable com.
ment could be based. OF Mr.. McCue, 1t may be sara
that he has acted efficiently as school trustee In
his own district and for nine years Clerk OF tho
Special Term of tho Supreme Court to the general
satisfaction of the judges and lawyers.
II Is understood that Speaker Chaplin did not at
tend Matthew Arnolds lecture on "NumDers'" lor
the very good reason that ever since he READ Con-
troler Dayenports letter he has lost his taste Tor
numbers.
James Otis the Republican candidate for Senator
in the LIST District, is making gallant run ana Dlds
fair to be successful. The Democrats OF the district
with that facility for laundering which is SO often
exhibited in their party, Rave nominated their
weakest man against Mr. Otis This weakest man
name is Benjamin w. Downing. On the serious
charges which were preferred against num- UoF-
ernor Cleveland last week removed him rom 'he
District Attorneyship Of Queens County Ills pres
ent canvass is of course q desperate attempt al
q yindicatiopv Mr. Otis is capable, trustworthy
and popular The majority of the electors of the
district will doubtless decide that it is well to be
represented in the Senate by such q man rather
than by q Democrat who has just been dismissed
from Office by a Democratic Governor.
borse-thief in Easton is fasting in Jail, and an
nonnces that he intends to beat DR.. Tanners rec
ord. This would he an excellent example for other
borse-tbieyes and hardened criminals generally to
follow. but the difficulty is that none of them
would be likely to carry the starvation process quite
so far as the interests Of society would require.
The Republican candidate for Senator In the
XIIth District Frederick William Hollis, is young
man of broad and thorough education who has
given much study to public questions. lie is an
ardent Republican, though not an apOlogst forInls-
takesand faults in tho party In the campaign of 1880
he worked with especial vigor delivering speeches
for Garfield in Maine, Connecticut, New-YOrk and
North Carolina Mr. Hollis will get the full Repub-
licap vote of Westchester and ROckland Counties,
and will be supported By q number of Democrats.
He is especially strong among the Germans, who
NAV be considered to hold the balance Of power III
Westchester There is every reason to believe that
he will carry Westminster and every reason to hope
that he will reduce the Democratic majority
in Rockland sufficiently to save the district from
the Democrats.
The success of Mrs. Burnetts play OF ESmer-
aida " in London given without change from the
version seen here is fact Of some interest because
it denotes or foreShad0ws, change i'll the habits
of the average British manager. This individual
is always insisting that plays from foreign soil shall
be carefully Angcized before they are seen in Lon-
don. So whether the play is French or American,
if must be translated into the dialect of roast beet
and alf and al before the English public can lend
an ear TO it, "Esmeralda is not the most robust
specimen of American dramatic literature OF the
nresent day that could have been chosen but at all
events. the talk of "North Caliny" and the ro-
nance in the shadow of Old Bald have been put
before an nsular audience, and they seem to like 1t

! abont d" 'acl,ucv coaches" and "'Yde Park" This
may lead TO further startling innovations in the
same direction.
| The lid Assembly District may be added to those
| in which the Republicans have an opportunity to
elect their candidate. The Democrats have two
rivals in tho field both keepers of low groggeriea
! and both unworthy of the support of decent cit
liens The Republicans and Independent citizens
have united upon Colonel William c. Church, the
