PH1sBURa, September 12.-Cahirman
Brice Of the Democratic National Commit

slider We lost ground in Maine. We held
our own there. 1t must be remembered the
situation in that State is peculiar. With
the fishing question, the lumber argument
and the tariff question against US, we still
increased the Democratic vote.
There's no doubt we will carry New
York, New Jersey, Indiana and Connecti-
cut, and the chances are good for carrying
Michigan, Minnesota and then q fighting
chance for Wisconsin. We will make q
hard struggle to carry that State. We are
much encouraged at the prospect in Illinois,
and the chances are excellent for carrying
that State. The best of feeling exists be-
tween Cleveland and Hill. and the latter
will be nominated for Governor oil New
York by acclamation."

Nellie AcHsnry and her clever company
of comedians appeared in "Three Of a

pleasing an impression as they did in ''The
Humming Bird" It is a bright farcical
comedy, full OF clever things and catchy
music. The audience seemed delighted and
Miss McHenry won fresh laurels by her
rendition eli several new songs. Mr.. Blair,
and Messrs. Webster and Vaudeville in the
trio called "We are all actors" were very
droll. Space forbids US enumerating, but
all were good and '"ThFee Of Kind" ought
to ''ill" the balance Of the week and also
