LONDON, July 1.-THE Times this morn
ing in an article upon the republican and
democratic nominees for the presidency
says: The platforms concocted by the re.
publican and democratic conventions are
both equally unworthy of respect. They
are distinguished by the absence Of clear
convictions, by evasions and trimmings by
servile rivalry in hattering the masses and
pandering to popular prejudices, thus en-,
couraging some of the most pernicious doc
trines of modern demagogues and social
uuacks.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Pat Rooney New York Star company
opened at the Opera house last evening for
season of three nights and Wednesday
matinee. The house was well filed and the
performance is good as far as it goes. 1t is
pure variety show with several excellent
specially people and less Of the funny Pat
than people-especial those in the attic
story-want. Rooney might do much better
with regular play, for he is too good a
comedian to waste his talent in variety
show. His people are all good and some are
more than that. The contOrtionists are really
marvellous and Sharpley and West are funny
as well as artistic in their comedy and mu-
steal act. The ladies are pretty and little
Miss Katie Rooney is quite an attraction. In
short, the Rooney combination give pleas
ant and laughable two hours entertainment.
The Olympic theatre, where the Ida Sid
dons burlesque opera company appeared last
night was over-crowded and hundreds were
turned away.
The sale of reserved seats for the "Bunch
of Keys will commence at the Opera house
box Office on Wednesday morning.
On Friday evening the 25th, there viii be
an entertainment at Unity club room, for
the benefit of the Ladies' Benevolent society
and other church charities. 1t viii consist
principally of dramatic Rotations and i'm
presentations by Mrs. Houlton, formerly Miss
Mary Calhoun Dixon, teacher of elocution
at the Chicago Athenuem and Park Institute,
also reader for the Chicago quartette who
furnish the music for Rev. DIR. Fl. w.
Thomas in Peoples church. The Inter Ocean
of Chicago says: Miss Mary Calhoun Dixon
gave reading of Shakespeare at the
Athenaum Thursday evening before large
number of people who enthusiastically ap
plauded her effort
