PREFERENCES OF DELEGATES.
No Two of Them Believed to Favor the Sam
Presidential Candidate.

Presidential Candidate.
A meeting of the delegates to the Chicago con
vention was held yesterday afternoon at the
Denison, but further than to make preliminary
arrangements for the transportation to Chicago
nothing was done. No effort was made to learn
the preferences. of the delegates for Presi-
dent, and nothing was said in the meeting regard
ing any of the candidates. In the
talk about the Republican headquarters, how
ever, it seemed to be generally understood that
the first choice of Morris Mcdonald would be
Postmaster-general Gresham. 1t is also
claimed that the personal preference of Mr..
Thompson is John Sherman, with whom he was
associated as a member of the Presidents Cabi-
net during the Hayes administration;
but he will support any Indiana
man for whom there may be a
chance of nomination, and he will go to the con-
vention with the intention of voting for whoever
he conseientiously believes to be the most ac-
ceptable person to the Republicans of the State.
In an interview just after the meeting of the
delegates yesterday afternoon, Hon. John Fl.
Baker said to a journal reporter, ~ have not
settled upon any man. whom l will support
as my choice. There is no man among
those who have been prominently
talked of for the nomination, but that has some
exceptional merit, or qualifications for a preSi-
Dental candidate. l have studied them all care
fully. and, to express myself frankly. there is no
one whom Ihave so fully d~eeidedupon but that
L might find something in some of the other can
didates to cause me to change my mind. There
are points in favor of each of them which.
should be. carefully considerd, and if L find
some convincing reason to cause me to think
that the interests of both the party and the peo-
pie will be best subserved by the nomination of
Blaine, Edmunds, Sherman, Arthur, Grant,
Logan, Gresham, Harrison, Porter, or John
Smith, 1 shall give him my hearty support.
And I trust that our Indiana delegates will not
become so firmly OF tenaciously settled upon
any one that it will require a jack-screw to lift
them from the groove in which they may become
fastened; but 1 trust they will carefully study
the candidates, and allow no feelingof vengeance
or affection to influence them and their decision.
| shall endeavor to act impartially, and asl think
demand, but I do not feel prepared yet to ex-
press myself as positively having any prefer
ence."

Students Must Vote at Home.

Attorney general Hord decides, in answer to a
query from the Governor, that students at col
leges are not entitled to vote in the
precinct in which the college is
located unless they are bona fde residents
of the precinct. The mere fact that they are
attending the college is notsuficient to giyethem
a residence. They are voters only in the pre-
cinct where they have their domicile.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
KERRY COW.


Mr.. Joe Murphy appeared at Portland The
atre last evening in MarSden's romantic
drama of kerry Cow" to much delighted
audience. AS the play is familiar to the ma
jority of our theatre-goers, detailed dtscrip-
ton of the plot is of course unnecessary at
this time. As we have before said, the play is
poetic in character, free from exagg4ratiops,
and clean and wholesome in all its character
istics. Mr.. Murphy himself is a dialect actor
Who never offends by coarseness or caric4iure,
He has plenty of humor of the right sort,
which pleases both the refined and the less
discriminating taste. He abounds in pathos,
aud q singer he is entitled to much credit
He is true artist, and he was properly appre-
ciatea last evening The horseshoeiug and
other we'll known situations in the play were
heartily appauded. Mr.. Murphy was vel
supported aud his company deserve favorable
mention. Tonight the play of "Shf un Rhue"
will b6 otfeFed,-A piece IN some respects
better even than Kerry Cow "
THE EQUINE PARADOX.
The tickets are selling well for the perform
ances by the Equine Paradox to be given at
the theatre next week. This troupe of horses
is trained as we'll as any company of sold ers
or school children. A man rDay not approve
of theAtre-going, hut he can witness the feats
of these horses, their marvellous Intelligence
and obedienca with quiet Conscience. Mr..
Henry Bergh, the well known foul der OF
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, in long letter to Prof. Bar,holo-
NEW, speaks ia highest terms of the exhibit
tion and the results accomplished by kindness
alone.
NOTES.
The usual excellent Saturday matinee will
be given at the LYceum to-day.
Mr.. Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry
were rendered reception by the hamilton
Club of Brooklyn, where they are now play
ing, and it took place yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Sins Reeves, the tenor, in an interview
declared that the sole cause of bis fr. quent
failures TO fulfill engagements wss govt flying
to MS throat. He calculated that during his
career he had los $4,000 from this cause. He
said he lived quietly, and ate and drank spar
iDgly. The reports that he was brandy
drDker were lies. He drank only claret and
water. Mrs. Reeves said that Sims had led
the life of a hermit during the whole course of
their married life. He had not gone to a
dozen dinner parties. He was an abstemous
liver, taking two light meals daily, with a
supper after performances, the last consisting
of only two eggs. He claimed that his voice
was as perfect as ever, and he proposed max
ing tour to America as a triumphant close to
his artistic career.

Tea and coffee seems to be all the rage. Yes
terday the Importers Tes Company's store
was crowded all day, and thousands of cans
must have been sold, judging from the humber
we saw going in and coming out Of the store,
the two or three times We happened in that
vicinity. We have heard at least fifty people
the past week speak in the most favorable
terms of both the tea and coffee bought at 431
Congress street. All unite in saying it cannot
be beat, and one and all are satisfied with
their purchases, or We would certainly have
heard long ere this if such was not the case.
Step in and make your purchases, or order by
mail. You will certainly get the vaue of your
money 10 tea or coffee, and yon ma, get file
diamond, or a beautiful watch, or money in
your can. Who knows?
