The Central Republican Club met last even

opened by saying tint he thought the present
campaign was not being conducted on true Po-
slitfcel principles--thnt the issics oil the TWO

OF the three national issues OF the tariff, silver

Forcihie Speeches on the Municipal
Election Issues.


The Republicans OF Latona aEd Brooklyn
held lively meeting In Marqu.s hall At LatoHa
last evening and wcre enterNined with
interesting speeches by J. W. Corson. &. +.
Remsberg. James Leddy and s, NJ shipley.
Mr.. Teddy commenced with few remarks to
the young men, speaking of the nation and
the party which made it what il is. lie called
attention to important work which could te
done In tho precinct meetings toward haruou-
izing the party and laying foundation for
pure government; and he told why he is a Re-
publican. Seattle's future was pictured in
glowing terms; the Improvements going on he
declared necessary and beneficial, and he re-
futed the Democratic charges OF Insolvency.
n. Shipley presented an impressive array OF
figures, and contrasted the incurred debt with
substantial improvements lie said that under
the present charter seattle will not lose
dollar on grade tax; that the old system of
legal blackmail had been done away with that
tho iaborers received 30 per cent. of tho salary
fund. The work OF each department
under the present administration was
compared with that OF the previous
administration and saving shown in all cases.
He closed by saying that facts were stubborn,
and. therefore, the Democrats avoided the
records.
President I. n Hooper corrected tho rumors
that he had declined to run for delegate from
the Ninth ward.
The meeting adjourned to meet one week
later at the same pirGe.

"Montezuma,, at Cordray,s.

warm welcome was extended to r. z.
French last night on his temperance at Cor
dray's in the leading part OF the sensational
melodrama "Montezuma." The play was ar
tistically mounted and gorgeously costumed,
and its enaction was meritorious from many
points of view. The imposing stage presence
which Mr.. French happily possesses peculiarly
fits the heroic role assigned him, and he scored
several ringing plaudits for spirited acting. At
the end OF the fourth act he responded to a
curtin call Miss Isabel Morris, as Maysel Ell
wood, gave an artistic Interpretation OF a charm
ing character, and Miss Stella Rees drew
Felicia Demayne, the plotter, with realistic
boldness. J. Ii. Bunny, the new comedian of
the company, made an excellent impression by
his Characterization of the colored servant Sam,
and raised many hearty laugh by his antics.
David Elmer was weird, spectral figure as
Varonica, the unhappy life prisoner in the castle
Ell Moro and his lines were uttered in the
crushed, forlorn notes OF a man who had SUI
fered a thousand deaths in one short life. Fran
els Powers presented Don Fernando with con-
siderable vigor and fidelity, as did Sam Morris
the role of Captain Grayson and Jean Weiner
the character of Governor La Cardo. J. Hol-
Engshead was decided success as Captain Del
mayne. Miss Marshall took the part of Mrs.
Graysou with the skill and happy effect which
characterize her efforts in all parts of the kind.
The scenery is especially fine, and many of the
tableaux are set amid scenes OF tropical luxuri-
ance and beauty. Theater- goers will patron
ize the piece literally, it has all the qualities
which attract and please.
