The great reason for the personal preference
which the plain people are so widely expressing
is the Identification Of Governor Mckinley WIN
Il tariff under which labor and business enjoyed
the highest prosperity. 1t is perfectly rue us
some Democratic journals are now pointing ouf'
that the tariff bill reported by Senator Allison
in 1883 was In some duties much higher thah
the tariff of 1890 but n duty IL not necessarily
better because II Is higher. If 1t derenos nome

enough. Also it is true that Senators Allison
and Aldrich, and other men in great NUMBER
had active part in framing the law OF loW.
There were sone very good things IN 'he olh
as II left the House which did not remain IN
It through the Senate, but other changes MADE
by the Senate were Of great value. The act was
not the work Of any one man. But It's enemies

THE LAST STROKE"

A drama relative 20 the contemporary disturbance
In the island Of Cuba presented last night at the
Star Theatre II is the opinion Of the dramatst that
a change ought to be made In the government OF
Cuba. He declares that the Spaniards who now rule
the island tyrants. and that the Cubans who
desire to relieve themselves from Spanish dominion.
are noble persons endeavoring TO be free His play
is called The Last Stroke" and. Of course. the
stroke is for freedom. In plays Of military and
patriotic character It has always been customary u

the nsurgcnt movement celestaly good. II does
not appear that the dramatst. in this instance pos
sesses any unusual sources OF information to the
condition Of Cuba that he is in position TO de-
termlne precisely what the order Of things In thai
ever. is ample. Meanwhile the Government Of Spain
Is known to be liberal monarchy.-not the In

WHAT 1T MEANS.

The great gathering of Republicans who favor
the nomination Of Governor Mckinley calls for
q certain explanation. 1t Is not usual for pub
lie feeling regarding a Presidential candidate
to take this form Of expression. Ordinarily,
ample and effective expression Of such choice
is found In the election Of delegates. But the
fraudulent methods Of the machine in New-iOrk
have practically deprived Republican voters Of
their right TO choose such delegates as they
wish. Neither in this nor in any other matter
can the real Republicans Of Ncw-York make
their will known through the channels which
In other States ale left free and untrammeed
Fraudulent enrolment, packing Of primaries with
Democrats, highhanded and desperate meth
DDS such as were employed without shame in
more than one district in this city last week,
have put 1t beyond the power Of Republican
voters to express their will In the usual man.

Such a manifestation OF public preference Is
not necessarily one Of hostility to any candidate
Either OF many considerations OF expediency
might lead warm personal friend OF Governor
Morton or Speaker Reed or Senator Allison to
deem IT, on the whole. wisest and safest to
prefer the candidate from Ohio. Age and
physical strength have weight with some men;
experience In legislation with others; freedom
from u prejudice respecting banks and money
lenders, which Is strong In some sections. may
appear to some important; actual participation
in the War for the Union secures the choice OF

THE QUEENS NECKLACE' REVIVED.
THE BELLEw-POrrER COMPANY.

A revival Of The Queens Necklace" was effected
last night at Days Theatre. and that play will be
presented there throughout the present week II Is
crude and verbose adaptation OF the story Of Marie
Antoinettes jewels. as told by Alexandra Dumas.
In his famous novel; and the performance OF 1t was
long and tedious. Mr.. Beew, dressed as the Car
dinal De Rohan. assumed divers attitudes. In more
or less apt imitation OF Edwin Booth and Henry
Irving, and he frequently looked pretty. Mrs Potter
bleated as Marie Antoinette and as the vulgar "co-
cotte' Olivia. and was artificial and trival.-show-
ing no perception Of an imperial character. making
obvious discrimination to quality. between the
two parts. and revealing capacity as an actress.
Some OF her dresses however attracted pleased at
tention because OF their splendor. and because
copied from certain we-known pictures Of the
French Queen Mr.. Redmund acted with hne dig.
nifty, as the King and Mr.. Mason Mitchell was
spirited as De Charny. The play was provided with
sufficient working cast of the parts. and II was set
in elaborate and often magnificent scenery. The
stage proceedings OF Mr.. Bellew and Mrs. Potter
appear to interest some people. but, viewed as
dramatic art. they chiefly prompt mild wonder
that they should have attracted any attention what
