SPRINGFIELD, September 26.-At 1915
o'clock pm. Jonas II. French, chairman
of the State Committee, called the Demo-
cratic Convention to order, and Col. Ca
veny, secretary, read the call. While the
call was being read, j. w. Gambler rose
and addressed the presiding officer, but
was not recognized, and remained stand
ing until Col. Caveny finished. As Col.
Caveny ceased reading, n. A. Plympton,
of Worcester, rose and addressed the
chair. Gambler insisted on his right, but
French decided that Plympton had the
floor. This was greeted with Kisses in
several parts OF the hall, and for a second
there was quite a connection.
Plympton then moved that the officers
of the State Committee be the temporary
organization of the convention.
This motion was declared carried, but
was doubted, and an uproar ensued,
which was promptly checked by French,
who called upon the Rev. Mr.. Simms to
offer prayer.
At the conclusion of the prayer French
addressed the convention. He spoke at
some length on national affairs, reviewed
the recent address of the Republican State
Convention, referred to the administra-
ton of Gov. Butler in the highest terms,
detailing the important events that have
| occurred the past year, and predicted q
great victory ior the Democratic party
throughout the country. 3
On the conclusion Of French's speech
there was generous applause, and the
various committees announced Great
confusion and disorder then prevailed and
excitement ran high. When III. W
Miller attempted tospeak several delegates
shocks their fists Mt him and he rushed to
the platform and demanded that he be
projected, but was seized by several and
! forced TO take his seat
! The Committe on Permanent OrganiZa-
| ton reported the names OF Edward Avery
| for permanent chairman and j. W. Caveny
for secretary. Avery then addressed the
! convention. lie thanked the convention
for according him the privilege OF presid-
ing over the deliberations of to-day He
referred briefly to national affairs, devoting
his remarks mainly to Massachusetts and
the administration OF the present govern
ment during the past year, highly com
mending the action of Butler in his zeal
to weed out corruption and put the com
monwealth OF the State OH an honest basis.
Gov. Butler was then unanimously re-
nominated for Governor by acclamation.
| The remainder of the State ticket was
then nominated, and after the adoption OF
the platform, which was substantially the
same as last year, the convention adj
journed.
While the resolutions were being read
the presence of Gov. Butler was an
nounced, and the convention rose and
cheered him as he was escorted to the
platform, and after the applause had sub
sided he addressed the convention.

Theatrical Notes.

NINE fRANZISEA ELLMENREICH, the Ger
man actress, who is pleasantly remem-
bered in New York from her performances
at the Germania Theater, is announced to
make her first appearance on the English
stage the Gaiety Theater, London, to-day.
Mr.. ABBEY SAYS: "Irving furnishes him
self, company and scenery, and takes a
certain per cent. OF the gross earnings. |
take the rest and furnish the theaters,
transportation, printing and advertising.
Mr.. Brown Stokes will accompany Irving
as his confidential man and business
representative" A prominent English
actor in New York claimed to know that
the terms OF the contract between Irving
and Abbey were that the former took
sixty per cent. of the gross receipts, and
the latter the remainder.
EARLY on Friday morning last ]. T..
Birmingham, treasurer of the Frederick
Ward Theatrical Combination, playing at
Wheeling, Va, entered the room, at the
Mcclure House, of Anna Boyle, the lead
ing lady. He made an insulting proposal
and was ordered out. A struggle ensued,
in which the lady threw Birmingham.
She then rushed to the parlor and sent
for Manager Collins, who, coming to the
rescue, found Birmingham battering at the
door which she had locked when she LETT
the room. He was at once handed over
to the police, and in the Police Court was
fined SO. After the trial Birmingham
and Manager Collins met in the hotel
lobby, when Collins notified his former
treasurer that his services were no longer
needed, at the same time giving him a
piece of his mind about his conduct.
This exasperated Birmingham, who drew
revolver and would have shot Collins
but for the interference OF bystanders.
HAVING been charged with churlishly
refusing to allow Miss Mary Anderson to

Gilbert writes to the London IP0rld what
he terms "the frank and unreseryed truth
of the case. "a dramatic agent" he says
"did apply to me on behalf of Miss Ander.
son. But as Miss Anderson was in Lon.
don, and as | was in London, did not see
any occasion to employ an intermediary
so | requested the dramatic agent to refer
Miss Anderson to me. That is how the
matter stands. Permit me-" Mr.. Gilbert
continues, ''to add that ! am distressed
beyond expression at your supposing me
to be capable OF an act so mean, so COW
ardly, sn iespicable, SO degnaipg as to de
cline to allow anyone who pieases 10 per
form any piece OF mine, anywhere, on any
terms he or she may think proper to deter

BUFFALO. September 26.-The city is
crowded with delegates and others here 10

meets tomorrow. In the Irving Hall del
egation there is only one missing. There
is much. speculation about the State ticket.
1t is said that t!.e State ticket is lsSac IL.
Maynard, oi Delaware county for Secretary
Of State; Robert y. Maxwell, oi Niagara, for
Treasurer; Alfred c. Chaplin, of Kings, for
Comptroller; Dennis O'Brien, OF Water
town, for A;torpcy-GeEoral; J. ID. Van
Buren. for State Engineer and Surveyor.
The harmony of the convention is practi-
cally assured, as the disposition among the
country delegates is to treat the Tammany's
with consideration. Tammany's leaders
claim that us the strongest organization
they should be accorded a greater repre-,
sentation in this convention than received
at Syracuse last year. The seEeral I'M
preston is that last years representation
will be accorded each Of the three organl
cations.
Lu,cr.-It Is conceded that the Stase at
ministratioa party or Cleveland party
has majority OF the delegates. littlC
doubt is entertained of the admission OF
Tammany in part with other New lorS

ADJUSTMENTS.


Barrett & Co.'S circus and menagerie
spread its tents on the bluffs yesterday,
giving two performances-one in the after
noon and another at night. The crowd in
the afternoon was very large, and at night
there was a perfect crush. The whole
town seemed to have emptied itself into
tie mammoth tent. The collection OF
birds and animals is as good as any seen
here in years, and the troop of camels and
dromedaries perhaps the largest on the
road. In the ring the performance was
fully up to the standard. The trapeze act
was a leading feature, and the powers of
the woman with the iron jaw, who was
hoisted from the ground TO the top of the
tent by means of a pulley and strap held
between her teeth, was something quite
beyond the common run. The bareback
riding was all good, and the show, taken
as whole, well worth the money.
