Tickets for the lecture or Col. ROBERT
G.. Ingersoll at the Opera House to-
night have gone of rapidly, and a large
audience viii hear his lecture on 'Foun-
datiOns Of Faith" which is his latest,
and is said by critics to be his best eff
fort. Ingersoll easily ranks among the
leading thinkers of the country, and his
elOquenCe has q charm which attracts
persons whether they are in sympathy
with his peculiar views about religion
or not The lecture will begin at eight
o'clock.
THE WHITE SLAVE.
There Will be a sumptuous revival OF
BARLEY Campbell's picturesque drama,
The White Slave" at the Opera House
Friday evening. November Sth, under
the direction Of Robert and John Camp
bell, sons of the author, who take a
natural pride in presenting the master
work of their father in manner worthy
of his name. "The White Slave treats
Of negro slavery with much originality.
II has strength and beauty, humor and
pathOs a good plot and number OF
powerful situations. Opportunity FOR
realistic tableaux. scenery and sta &c
effects are frequently afforded. The
river. the steamboat and the planta-
ton scenes are most effective. There
is a waste of far stretching waters
tossed by the winds; forked lightning
plays wildly; the rain pOurs down in
torrents; the fragment of wreck upon
which are the two fugitives, hero and
heroine. is carried by the tumbling
waves through the tempest to the
shore
SOWING THE WIND"
The Opera House will doubtless be
packed on the evening of next Thurs
day when Sidney Grundy's noted play.
Sowing the Wind" is to be produced
by one of the best companies now on the
road, under the direction Of Gustave
FrObman. This performance Will be
one Of the best and most noted theat-
rical events of the season. Sowing the
Wind is one of the few really great
plays contributed TO the stage by any
modern dramatist. IL is a high class
melodrama Of the intensely emotional
sort. Astounding in striking characters,
strong situations and pungent dialogue,
and admitting of elaborate embellish-
ments in scenery and costumes. It's
theme is a daring one, but it is handled
with such delicacy that it may be safely
and properly witnessed by child. To
the older mind however, il affords
many suggestions that may be cOnsid-
cred of moral profit. The author has
brought out in vivid colors the dangers
that beset young womanhoOd and the
excuses by which sinful men seeks to
justify his conduct towards the opposite
sex.

Two States IN DANGER
Democrats Arc Fearful of Losing
Kentucky and Maryland.
CARLISLE CONSULTS CLEVELAND
The Two Leaders Of tho Administration
Democracy DO Not. However. SEQ
Much Hope In the outlook.

Washington, Sept .6-Secretary Car
isles visit ITO the president at Gray
Gables has not for lis object. as the
-ossipS claim, the determination of
financial policy to be pursued. hut is
i'll relation TO matters of deep import to
the politics OF the Democratic party.
Fear Of losing two Democratic states
in the coming elections has caused Sec
retary Carlisle and President CleNe-
land to put their heads together and
discuss the situation. If anything can
be done in the states of Kentucky and
Maryland to avert the impending cal
amty he realizes that now Is the time
to get tn work. for the situation may
soon be beyond the grasp of the polit-
ical managers, even If it Is not already
So.
Secretary Carlisle has received word
that Democratic affairs are in very
bad shape in Kentucky. The incon-
grui,y of the head of the Democratic
ticket there Colonel Hardin, the nom
inee for governor. declaring openly for
free coinage. while standing on a sound
money platform, has caused very prom
inent men in the party to renounce the
ticket. and declare that they will vote
for sound-money Republican. 1t VIII
probably take the combined sagacity
of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle to devise method of recon-
Cling the differences now existing in
the state, and II is considered quite
doubtful II such an end can he con-
summated. Kentucky Republicans are
in a white heat of hope and anticipa-
tion Of a glorious victory.
The situation in Maryland is also be-
coming menacing for the Democrats.
Splits in the party are ACQUIRING in
number of counties and more are
threatened. 1t is the anti-Gorman ele-
ment in that state which is causing
the trouble. The alarming feature Is
the persistency with which the opposi-
ton to German is maintained and the
length which his opponents seem
willing TO proceed I'm order to secure
his downfall 1t is believed that they
would be willing to turn the state
over to the Republicans for one term
If thereby they could freeze out Mr.
German. Indications point to the prob
ability that the Democracy may be
downed
OF course President Cleveland does
not want 10 lose esther of these states
this fall. for they will be needed very
badly in the presidential elections of
the succeeding year, so he and Secre-
tary Carlisle are putting their heads
together over the problem OF saving
them from Republican rule.

Trenton, N. j., Sept. 26.-The Demo-

mated for governor Alexander NJ. gin,
the present chancellor of New Jersey.
HIS nomination occurred on the first
ballot, his only competitor Augustus
w. Cutler, of Morris county, obtain
Ing altogether only 1i3 votes out Of
a total Of 93S. or a necessary 40. votes.
AS soon as Essex and Hudson counties
voted the nomination of McGlll was
assured Despite the fact that the
Democrats have been feeling hopeless
regarding the outcome of the election
this year 1t was an enthusiastic con-
vention. The delegates sitting in Tay-
lor's Opera house In their shirt sleeves
shouted and cheered almost continu-
ously. and the mention of McGilrs
name was as many times the signal
for rafter-ringing demonstration.
The platform reaffirms the national
Democratic platform of 1892 and indorscs
the administration Of President Cleve-
land. 1t cOngratulates the people upon
the revival of prosperity and asserts that
the Industrial depression of the past three
years is chargeable othe national legis-
lat.on enacted by the Republican party
The purchase Of silver to be stored in the
treasury and the enactment Of unjust
tariff laws to enrich a few favorites by
the oppression Of the millions of con-
sumers are cited as main causes OF the

pressing causes. II IL claimed, have been
remedied by Democratic congress.

nounces as mal!c,ously false the state

Quoted by the Democratic party in DIS

adoption OF a constitutional amendment

NFTER HARRISON'S DELEGATES
Reed and Mckinley SIyly POaching on
the Ex.Presidcnt's Prcservcs-Thc Poo.
pic Favor the Ohio Man, but the
Politicians Want Reed.

Indianapolis, Sept. 26-General Har-
rison is being pressed for an announce
ment prior to the conference OF party
leaders here on oct. 10 as to whether or
not he will be a candidate for renomi-
nation for president. Those who are
insisting that he shall speak are max
ing use of the old argument that the
general owes it to the other candidates
for president to throw some light on his
position.
In the meantime he has given no in
dication that he will talk, and many
who know him we'll say that he will
accept what fate and the convention
have in store. but will not seek to shape
the result.
At least two of the other candidates
are busy taking second-choice pledges
in the state. and 1t Is said that unless
General Harrison declares soon that he
will enter the race first-choice pledges
will be taken right here at his home.
Mckinley and Reed. through their
agents. are actively at work in the
northern and southern parts of the
state. If General Harrison were "out
Of the way" II would be nip and
tuck" between Mckinley and Reed in
Indiana. Men who have been over the
state a great deal the last few months
say Ii seems evident that Mckinley Is
the more popular of the two with the
people. The leading politicians, how
ever. are not so friendly to his candi-
dscy as they were two years ago. They
are inclined to doubt the wisdom OF
nominating a candidate with extreme
tariff views.
II is understood that the new con-
gressional delegation has agreed to
