for the concert OF the S AFFORD University Glee
Club given In Metropolitan Temple last even

hope OF having a "'rah-'rah 7" time was dlSap-

they sang, and there was not a siugle "'Tah"

In the same tint.
Every number sung by the glee club was en-
Enthusiastically encored, as indeed IL deserved 10
be, for the performers not only executed their
glees In peri CT time but the expression was
good, and every word was distinctly uttered
Among the numbers De koven's 'Ihe Owl

last night. The proprietor cannot afford
TO run it any more, psying rent and taking

There are some of those fellows that /

lord of POint Lubos House. "One boy
from Boston was showing me letters the
other day showing that he had been
brought out here under the most f1attering
promises. He has scarcely been paid

fault that he owes for rOomrent. Most of
them are a bad crowd-ADderson and

that there are some of them who will pay

In the crowd"
There was a rumor current yesterday
that Anderson, who has week by week
been paid the mems salaries by the execu-
tive committee, had compromised with the
musicians for 80 per cent of the amount
due them. The musicians themselves.
however, declare that they are only living
in hopes of receiving half their arrears,
and as yet have nothing more tangible
than the hopes.
Conductor Phinney when seen by a
CALL reporter yesterday was very aYerse
TO making any statement.
"We are trying to adjust matters and if
l talk it might prevent a settlement" he
said. Then lie added: Il am more grieved
than l can express to see the men out here
in this plight. could not say myself how
it came about. / have tried all along to do
what was right by them" And the deep
detection with which tie conductor uttered
these words showed he felt what he said,
but Anderson has been paid by the eXecu-
tive cOmmi tee ana not Phinney. And
Anderson is as usual taking life easily and
putting in the time making promises that
cost nothing.

The much-talked- of meeting of the mem

and strong majo rity declared itself in

A canvass of the directors proved this to

tIves came into majority in both branches
Of the Legislature. the Law was amended by
reducing the Republican membership In the
Election Boards OF New York city from two
to ono. TO correspond with the division
which existed In other portions OF the State.
This change 10 the law was bitterly opposed
by the Republicans, though without any
valid reason. In practical operation IL was
found 10 he open to one objection: it Inn
posed upon the Republican inspectors In
this city the task OF remaining on duty for
ten hours continuously II the full rights OF
members OF their party we're to be officially

vldod that the polls should be open hero at

chester. ut sunrise: and in the towns OF the
State between sunrise and nine o'clock
In the forenoon"
In New York city the single Republican
inspector had unduly long hours. and the
opportunities for fraud we're increased by
his absence.
The present Legislature lie Republican.
and the leaders OF the party at Albany. hav-
ing acquired tho power. determined to re-
store two Republican inspectors in the New
York city districts, but to leave the Demo-
Gratis with only one inspector In the Repub-
llcan districts Of the interior. Against this
projected legislation Governor FLOWER res
olutely set his face. and he indicated that
his veto would be interposed. Then a COM
promise. creditable to the sound judgment
Of both parties, was agreed upon in conso-
nance with the views OF the great body OF
electors. and it has passed both Houses. tho
Assembly on Thursday unanimously. There
will henceforth be an equal division Of cleo
ton inspectors throughout the State and
thus the policy OF the Democracy prevails.

A Wholesome Change.

On WashingtOn's birthday the Assem-
bly, passed unanimously the O'CoNSoR bill
amending the present election law, and
making uniform throughout the State the
number OF election inspectors at each poll
ing place. two Democrats and two Repub-
lieans. The bill. though introduced By a
Republican and passed by a Republican
Legislature. is in fact Democratic meas
ure, and its adoption is the victory OF a
principle for which the representatives of
the Democracy have until now been vainly
conteEding.
Under tho former election law. Inspectors
OF elections were chosen by ballot in the
various polling places. There'were three in
each district. two representing tho majority
in the district and one representing the
minority. A Republican Legislature subse-
quently changed tho law by taking out of
the hands Of tho electors OF this city the
cnOicc OF inspectors. and vesting il In the
hands Of the Police Board. ON a non partisan
basis, sO-called. Of two Democratic and two
Republican inspectors in each district This
principle was by degrees extended until
finally an inequitable and discriminating
rule was generally established. In Demo
cratic constituencies. there was an even
political division OF inspectors: in Republic
can constituencies. there were two Repub-
leans and one Democratic Official.
Against this injustice the Democrats pro-
tested and She} IN lsoa their representa-
