SHOWS WELL FOR M'KINLEY.
A Poll in Topeka Fails to Reveal Any
Very Alarming Desertion From
Republicanism.

Topeka, Kas.. Sept. 17-(Special) In the
matter Of free silver boilers from the Re
publican party, it has been generally
agreed that Shawnee county was in worse
shape than any other county in the state.
This conclusion is largely attributable to
the fact that Topeka has a free silver
daily publication, which, in and out Of
season, has been claiming everything in
sight. For the past two weeks the Repub-
lican county central committee has been
taking poll Of the city with the purpose
OF determlr ing the exact status of the free
silver bolt. One ward. the big Third. has
been completed and tabulated, and the re-
suit has sent the free silver boasters in
cont:nently to their holes. The totals are
as follows: Mckinley. 1,l76: Bryan 1886;
gold Democrats, 50; refused to answer, So;
total. 1,700.
This shows a Republican majority Of
7s9. OF the 396 Bryan votes. "a are list
ed as silver Republicans. The vote for
Grover Cleveland in this ward was $50 and
giving the opposition all of those who re-
fused to answer. and all of the gold DEM
ocrats the total is still IS short of Mr.
Clevciands strength.
The pol, has been completed for the
suburb. Potwin. and the ward known as
Oakland, both of them small. One shows
small Republican gain and the other
small Bryan gain. The remainder of the
city VIII be completed this week.

SOL SMITH RUssELL's NEWEST.
"a Bachelors Romance" Presented
for the First Time-Rertha
CreiRhton In the Cast.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 17.-Sol Smith
Russell tonight presented a new comedy.
"a Bachelors Romance" for the first
time. written for him by Martha Morton.
A large and brilliant audience witnessed
tho performance. The leading role. David
Holmes, a New York journalist. is entirely
different from anything in which Mr.. Rus
sell has appeared. 1t Is at once pathetic
and humorous and he won his audience
from the first. The play Is the best he has
had from the pen of Martha Morton, and
the production is on most elaborate and
artistic scale.
The play tells pretty story Of self-sac-
rifice and It's ultimate reward. David
Holmes (NIr. RusselD is a quiet, sensitive
student who has earned the place of a lit
erary writer on the Review, and is made
judge and reader in $4,000 prize contest
for the best serial story submitted to the
paper. David is almost unconsciously in
love with Sylvia. who has been thrown
upon his care by her father
Harold Reynolds young member Of
the Review staff is also in love with her,
and builds his hopes upon the $4,000 prize.
which would enable him to marry her.
Thus the destiny of the young couple is
left in Dnvid'S hands. He eventually gives
the prize where it belongs. to Harold. In
the conflict of the two men, however. char
acter finally triumrhs, and David is re-
warGed with the disinterested love OF the
young girl. The play was interpreted by an
adequate company, in which. of course.
Mr.. Russell stands pre-eminent for his
quaint characterization. Miss Bertha
Creighton appeared os Sylvia, and Miss
Nita Allen as society belle.

DAVIS SPEECHES IN ARKANSAS.
General Powell Clayton Says They
Were the Finest Ever Heard
In That State.

E. Mont Reilly. secretary to the mayor.
received letter yesterday from Hon.
Powell Clayton. member of the sub-com-
mittee Of the national Republican COM
mittee. who is now in New York arrang-
ing speakers for the West, in which he
writes in the highest complimentary terms
of the speeches and work of ex-Mayor
Webster Davis in the campaign in Arkan-
sas. General Clayton concludes the letter
by saying:
The four speeches made in Arkansas by
Mr.. Davis were the greatest oratorical ef-
forts ever heard in my state, and to the
largest audiences ever assembled in the
commonwealth, and believe his good work
there kept the Democratic majority down
several thousand votes. l would like to
have Davis make some speeches in the
New England states. but as everything is
our way hare, 1t is not needed. Then, an
other thing. men of his ability on the plat
form should be kept in the West, where
the real battle will be fought. The national
committee has assigned Mr.. Davis to OHIO
and Indiana for the next two weeks. Then
we want him 10 return to Missouri and
stay till the campaign is over
