MAYOR GRANT AND THE oovERSoRsHrP.
Somebody started the story the other
day that Mayor Grant had an eye on the
nomination for Governor this year. ana
that he would be formidable opponent
Of Flower, Chapin. and Parker. Inc
Mayor has since publicly declared that be
did not desire O nomination for Governor,
and he has added further that if he did he
would not be able to get it. As a matter
of fact, the 1ammany people will not soon
be found urging one of their own members
for the governorship. They have an
idea that no Catholic can be elected
TO that Office, owing to the intense
prejudice in the rural region, audit so hap
pens that nearly all their conspicuous mem.
bers are Of that faith. The experience OF
Francis Herman some years ago was not
pleasant one. The general belief IL that
he was defeated because Of his Catholi-
ciam. In speaking Of this matter more than
a wear ago Mayor Grant said that If he had
ever entertained an idea of attaining the
governorship he had felt that his religion
would be bar. and that it would be worse
than folly to have O religious issue raised
in this State again.
THE vIENEsE TENOR.
Pending the arrival of Mr.. Abbey's Com
posite Opera Company New York is inte-
rested now in the Vienese tenor, Carl
Streitmann. He has been singing with the
Thomas Orchestra in the Madison-Square
Garden during the past week, and the i'm
preston which he has made is most IA
vorable one. Although he has been IN
America couple of years but few Ameri-
cans have had a chance to hear him. Am
| berg brought him over and he has Kept
him in German opera on tho East SIDE.
French has now engaged him to sing this
| season with Lillian Russell in light opera
| in the Garden Theatre. They open in
la Cigale" in October. Streitmann,
while not handsome man. is attractive
| by reason of his grace. his courteous man.
ners, and his sduoir fdire. He has robust
voice, his high notes being peculiarly
strong and rich. He IS about thirty eight
years of age. He was an actor by PROBES
sion for several years before he discovered
| that he could sing. His schooling as an
actor stands him well IN hand now and
gives HIM great advantage over the stocky
and wooden conventional tenor. His light
opera work in Vienna brought him to
| the attention of Won Suppe, the composer,
and his greatest hits were scored IN intro
| ducing that popular musicians works. be
sung tho promises in "Gipsy Baron
Seven Suabians." &C., and the beautiful
song, "StelIa," introduced in the opera
known hero as Glover" was written
| especially for him by Won Suppe. A year
ago Streitmann could speak scarce word
| OF English. Now he speaks 1t fairly well.
He is working with great assiduity to ac-
quire the language. inasmuch as he must
sing in English with MIR. .French's CON-
pany.
