At Theirs, the blacklist town in

NEW YORK STATE democracy is but
another name for Tammany. The state
convention held on Wednesday in SYRIA
cuse, surrendered absolutely to the die
tation of the tiger. The retormers we're
spurned from start to finish. To be
sure. the so-called county democracy
from New York City and Brooklyn were
given one vote in FIVE, but only with the
express understanding that the votes
should be cast as Tammany decreed.
Those who fondly hoped that the oyer
whelming defeat administered to this
corrupt and corrupting organization
last fall, woulo serve to tone down it's
tyrnnical insolence, find that the snake
was not even scotched. But the people.

that treasury reserve from which the

public attention. Ii the government had

GOVERNOR CLoUGH has been about
the state pretty generally this fall with
his staff attending county fairs. The
governor has made number of excel
lent agricultural addresses, and has
doubtless added very materially to the
financial resources of the several socie-
ties. A live governor is rawing card
in the rural districts. It would be mere
presumption to suggest that there is
any political significance to his agricul-
tural tour.

Henshaw and Nplan.

1t was a delightful entertainments given
on Friday evening at the Odd Fellows
Auditorium by Messrs. w. /. Henshaw
aud w. I. Nolan, assisted by several
local musicians. The auditorium, which
comfortably seats 200 persons, was
fairly filled, about $50 being present,
and brilliantly lighted as it was. pre-
sented a very cosy and attractive APP
pearance The first number. on the pro-
gramme, piano solo bv Stoel, was
brilliantly reAdered by John w. Oehl.
w. /. Nolan followed with several selec-
tons, both humorous and pathetic, and
he is a master of his art in both fields.
His enunciation is perfect. and his inter-
probation faultless. He has wonderful
faculty of making realistic the emotions
expressed in his. text. Mr.. Henshaw
never sang better, and he was peculiarly
happy in his selections. He rendered
several classical pieces, interspersed with
ballads-all Of them delightfully."- given.
"Sleep, Little Baby, Sleep" and "All
Through the Night" were notable and
found ready response on the part OF the
audience, but "I'll be Your Mama To-
Day." took the house by storm. It's
sentiment and the remarkably apt
adaptation of the music to the words
assisted the artist in the rendition. It is
purely OF local production. The words
are by A. L. Kinnamon and the music
by Mrs. w. l. Henshaw. 1t is destined
to be very popular song, for it appeals
in sentiment as in music. to the masses.
The authors and the singer scored
brilliant success in this. its first presen-
tatlon.
Little May Woodbury. sang, "Wont
you come to my Jeopardy" very pref
tily, and won merted applause. She
acquitted herself admirably for one so
young.
Mrs. W. l. Henshaw, in the Venetian
Boat Song" fully maintained her repu-
tation as sweet ballad singer. 1t was
a pleasant feature of the evening. Har-
old Lambs violin solo gave the audience
unbounded satisfaction and pleasure.
He is a young player of rare talent, and
is a tavorite with Sank Centre audien-
ces.
Mr.. Nolan's imitation of Lord Dun
drearv was the most artistic in execu-
ton of any of his selections. He not
only caught the spirit OF the monologue,
but his rendition was very perfect as an
imitation, AMI very funny of itself. AS a
dialect story teller, Irish, German and
Scandinavian, he is wonderful. With
out exaggeration, he brings out the
peculiarities with great vividness. His
Irish political meeting was irresistible.
Mrs. Miner was the accompanlst dur
ing the evening, and contributed not
little to the smoothness and excellence
of the musical numbers.
The HERALD NAV safely say that
Sank Centre audience was never better
satisfied with an evenings entertain
ment than was the one which attended
this delightful one.
