A ROusinE Reccption.


A crowded house greeted the return
OF the favorite Starr Opera Comps
Their new opera, "Tsddy and Reddy,"
caught on from the start. 1t is 80 con
structed as to resemble more o musical
melo drama than On opera. The dis
play OF costumes was 30 gorgeous that
to the eye 1t became spectacular. The
comedy ts 80 bright and crisp that it
seems to liberate the valve of laughter
In every speech. 1t is the old story of
Robert Macaire," upon which the
great success, "Erminie," WAS produced.
Mr.. Frank Deshon has abundant room
In the character of Teddy to display his
ability, and he does not fail to grasp
the situation. Mr.. Charles Osborne is
an excellent foil, rs Reddy, to Mr..
Deshon, and works to aid in the sue
cess. The same may be said of ZAzel,
who, as the Princess Graupon, shows q
marvellous makeup and develops talent
IS comedienne that is remarkable.
Her admiration of the Baron, alias
Teddy, was clever bit OF acting.
Both Miss May Duryea and Miss
May Douglass have parts that fit them
admirably, and deserved the encores
which they received. Mr.. Kyle, Mr.,
Ruth, Mr. Reeves and Mr.. Hawey all
were satisfactory, and Miss Maggie
Baxter and Miss Blanche Roberts prove
competent in the roles assigned to them
The company has been increased in
numbers, and beer improved in Ievery
way. Tonight the "Mikado" will be
given. The costumes are all imported
and the reputation which the company
has made of giving the finest rendition
of the "Mika ado" outside of the English
company, will insure a crowded house.

are No. 2, and only cost 81. And Just
look at the little No. . shoe he put me
In for the baby for only 1Oc And the
whole six pair only cost me $6 10. And
besides he warrants every pair accord

burst or tear in any reasonable length
OF time he will fix them for nothing.
IL there any other shoe dealer in town

Paris that ID thrown upon the can nvas,

the hery Tybalt and gallant Mercutio

their long rapiers blinking over the
cobble stones, worn by the hurryinR
steps OF Montague sud Cspu,et. Thence
to Milan, with Its grand cathedral, to
Turin, with its fortress GRO wned hill,
and across the untain-locked waters
OF Como and Maggiore, and finally to
Venice, where, leaving the train, q

the Palace of the DDges and the Rialto
were thrown on the canvas with that
Iaitpiui exaotness that brought out
crumDling facades and splendid decay,
and made the beholder imagine he
could see the sluggish current of the

water lapping the rotten piles where

What VIII He Do?


To the Editor ofkhe New York World:
In the event that President Cleveland
is nominated for q second term, will he
not, under his own ruling, be compelled
to resign his office pending the result of
of6ce-holder can retain his place while a
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination raise q seri-
GUS problema OLIVER f. FRASER.
New Haven, Conn, Oct. 90.
This is, indeed, delicate point. 1t
occurs to us, however, that the President
could get around it by going a-ashing
during the campaign. The way In which
he refrsins from pernicious activity
while in the North Woods justifies the
belief that a second-term candidacy
would not cause embarrassment.-E
our esteemed contemporary evidently
fails to fully grasp the situation as pre-
sented In MI. Fraser's supposititious case.
Not even the political innocuous desue-
tude of life In the Adirondacks or In the
wild fastnessess of Senator Kenna's
favorite West Virginia mountains would
meet the requirements of the situa-
| ton. The President would find that the
bull was In his own china shop, and he
would probably proceed to take him by
the horns. To mix the metaphor little,
he would then realize that the tiger had
begun to hunt the hunter, and that what
had been fun for the boys would be death
to the frog. When he found ont that he
could no longer train with the ciVi-ser-
vice band of political salvationists with
out stepping on his own toes he would
drop out and would most likely attempt
to justify his apostacy by saying that he
had been only on probation, and that he
had discovered that he was no better
than his fellow-men. AS Sancho Panza
would say, there's remedy for all things
but death.-Philadelphia Record.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 26.-Mr. Ed.
ward Mcpherson, secretary of the Re-
publican Congressional Committee, has
sent the following letter to Senator
Plat on the suppression of the colored
vote m the Boutb: ss
"WAsHIEGToN, d. O., Oct. 25, 1885.
My Dear Sir: have given your In
|quiry ~ to the extent to which the 6g-
ures show that there is . suppression
|of the colored vote In the Southern
States. A classi fication OF the vote by
congressional districts In 1875 and in
1884 will show the net result in o shape
which will be st once most compact
and most comprehensive. Including
Delaware. Maryland and West Virginia
with the Northern States, We have this
result As to the late slave States:
In 1876 their average district vote ON
Congress was "a, 504. In 1884 their
average district vote on Congress was
20. 800. This shows Q decreased vote In
the eight years Of over rer cent. Ii
the other States of the Union there was
during this period an increased vote OF
about il per cent. Thus, IT per cent.
represents the average suppression.
In the Gu.f States the wrong is more
marked, ~ 1t IL more general and SO
vere. Take, for inets noe, Alabama,
Mississippi and South Carolina. The
average in Alabama fell from Is, ,648 In
1876 to 16,169 In 1884. The average In
Mississippi fell from 27 665 In 1876 10
II. $50 In 1884. The average in South
Carolina fell from 81, 149 In 1875 to 12,-
739 In 1884. The average fall In these
three States IL from 28, 121 In 1876 to
ID, 1896 in 1884, or within fraction of 30
per cent. The average district vote In
the Northern States rose from 30, 1856 In
1876 to 33, 744 In 1884, or II per cent.
II requires In the North an average of
l6. S37 votes to carry district. 1t re-
quires In the Gulf States named an av-
erage OF 1899 votes to carry district.
A vo or In these States has, thus, double
the electoral and representative power
OF voter In the Northern Slater, as the
direct result Of this suppression of the
vote.
This is the precise sort of equality OF
rights and powers which Democratic
election practices have prod uced, to
which the Democratic party owes its
supremacy, and which, therefore, 1t has
vital interest In maintaining. I am,
very respectfully.
