The sale Of reserved seats for "Held

drama, which Is to be presented at the
Opera House Thursday evening, will
commence at Houses thismorning. The
play Is one that has reputation almost
world wide. This Is both because Of It's
genuine merit and because It is the first
play written on the late war, wherein the
conflicting interests oil the North aud
South have been so inHeniously inter.
woven Us not to give odense to the
sympathi1ers Of either cause. The play
abounds in exciting situations and a
genuine battle scene with galloping
horses, but these are happily relieved by
delicate touches Of the most exquisite
comedy.

Ringing on the identity OF a young
prince, who, like Achilles, OF classic
fame, has been secreted in the Ruisso OF a
girl from the enemies Of his pIetensions
TO the throne, Two parties, the civil
and the military, contend for the honor,
and profit OF discovering the young
prince and restoring him TO the throne,
at the time occupied by hali-witted
usurper, On the day set for the rebel
lion, the military party, headed by
Count RiVarol, seize both the prince and
his playmate FeliSa, who wears at the
time, the chain Of Navarro, the only clue
to'the identity OF the prince, Unable TO
decide, the military gentlemen leave the
question to Counties CoriSandd, RliSa'S
mother, who decides in favor Of her

BRICE AND THE FIELD.
Indications Of Bitter Fight In the ohio
Senatorial Contest-Democratic
Factions at War.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 26.-The mana
gers of Mr.. Brice in the senatorial con
test, claim that they will receive fif5y-one
of the seventy-nine Democratic votes
This estimate includes five OF the eleven
members from Hamilton county and all
of the senators and representatives eX-
cept one in the 10th district. The oppo-
sition asserts that these claims are simply
for effect and are intended to influence
the unpledged legislators.
The indications now point to bitter
| fight between the factions, the contest
having narrowed down to the field against
Mr.. Brice. Charges of the corrupt use OF
money are whispered about. 1t is con-
ceded by all that Mr.. Brice will go into
the canvass with decided lead, and the
only hope Of the opposition is to combine
for his defeat, on the ground that his
election will be attended by a greater
political scandal than that which followed
the selection OF Mr.. Payne in 1858.
The opposition is also industriously cir
culating an affidavit made by Mr.. Brice
in 1884 in which to qualify as a bonds
man, he swore that he was householder
and resident in New York. They are
using an ingenious argument to the effect
that his election by the Democracy
means Republican United States
senator. Mr.. Brice's credentials will
have to be passed upon by Re-
publican senate, and the opposition claim
that objections will be made to his taking
his seat in March, 1892. His case will
then be held in allegiance until the pres
ent general assembly adjourns, which
will be shortly after Mr.. Brice's term be-
gins. Then, according to the arguments
