This well known play was admi-
rably presented to a full house I'm
Atkins Hall, last Friday night, tor
the benefit Of the Baptist Church,
by some of Clinfon's histrionic talent.
The cast of characters was a. fol.
lows:
Old Man Rogers-Wiil Slocumb;
George Drew. S. Thoms0u;
Dave Hardy-Z. +. Mathis.
Estabrook-Henry Hines;
The Marquis-F. II. Cooper.
Jack Desmond-L. 4. Bethune.
Lydia Ann Rogers Mrs. c. Z.
Johnson.
Esmeralda-Miss Addie BiZZell;
Nora Desmond-Miss Annie Gid
dens;
Kate Desmond-Miss Mary Thorn
son.
The manner in which each one
performed hes This or herr part,
showed no. only a proper conception
of the character personated, but also
more than ordinary dramatic ability.
In short it vas a decided success.
Hon. Geo. w. Sanderlin, who was
i'm the audience, enjoyed the play
very much, and said that it would
have reflected credit on any amateur
company, By the way why not or
ganize a regular amateur com 9any
here in Clinton and play every month
or two for the benefit OF various
charitable and religious purposes
We have several persons with con.
siderable dramatic, operate and, we
might say, tragical talent, who would
we think, take part. The results,
if properly managed, would be ben
eficial socially, Intellectually land be-
nevOlently.
About $50 was realized from thi:
play, and if il had been repeated
Monday night the receipts would
probably have been larger.

A THe CLAIMS.

Special dispatches tn republican
newspapers tell us that Mr.. Carter
opened his canvass i'm Lewistown, We'd
nesday night, and that the audience ap-
plauded when the speaker asked:
.Can any democrat give me II good
solid reason why any Montanian should
vote for "a single democrat?
Well. Mr.. Carter, plenty of democrats
can tell you why their ticket is entitled
to the cordial support of the people of
Montana. One reasOn can he found in
thefact that the territory owes statehood
to the untiring zeal and patriotic efforts
of the democrats. But for this service
there would be no occasion for the cleo
ton i'm October and Mr.. Carter would
not now Ike Oh the stump seeking to
capture the trophies of a fight he did
not help To win. eur
the enhance of Montana into the
Union and, in recognition of the
splendid service rendered by Mr.. Toole
toward that end. the democratic party
propose to make him first governor of
the state. Will any voter tell us what
claims Mr.. Carter has OH popular
favor in this respect!
4 second good reason why men are
warranted in voting for the democratic
candidates is found in the fact that. al
most without exception. the party they
f.present has been in the ascendency i'm
territorial politics. II points to the
record as the solid reason why the men
who have faithfully served the terri.
tory in the past should he entrusted
will, tae administration of public af'
fairs In the future. Will Mr.. Carter
kindly recite any services b!
himself in behalf of the territory which
give him any claim to popular favor
nowr
Then there are voters who will FIND
ample ground for supporting the dem
Ocratic candidates i'm the fact that TIM
