Mr.. Robertson and Those Charges.

the Dispatch the following card concern
Ing the report published in this paper OF
his remarks regarding the alleged frauds:
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Your reporter i'm your issue Of to-day.
IN his account Of what I stated upon the
platform OF the district congressional con-
Ventlon on yesterday, Immediately before
adjournment for the day. misquoted me,
and, IN justice 10 myself and 10 Others
affected. l desire 70 make the following
corrections: | made no charge particu-
larry against the three delegates from
Manchester who had changed their votes.
What / did state was that the attempt
had been made TO use money on my dele
cation. and for this statement / had the
authority Of two Of the delegates, who
had informed me that they had been Of
fered the 800 and the other big money"
and that / desired 10 sift the matter
and came upon the platform for the
purpose OF making the statement The
point that / desired particularly 10 en-
phaSlZe is that as 10 the three men that
changed their votes / made no charge
that any OF them had been bought. the
attention of the whole convention az the
time was centered ON the three delegates
who had changed their votes, and IL is not
surprising therefore, in view OF this fact
and the uproar that prevailed NJ the time
that your reporter should have miscon-
strued my remarks and failed 10 report
me with entire accuracy.

Interesting Presentation Mt the
Academy of Music Last Night.

Interesting Presentation Mt the
Academy Of Music Last Night.
The account Of "Jim. the Penman."
given by Mr.. ID. 4. Bontas company at
the Academy last night. must be pro-
nounced interesting rather than remark
able. Against very much that was adj
mirable must be set much that was GU
riously unequal. The interest in the play
was kept alive right up 10 the finish, but
the responsibility OF more than one scene
was transferred bodily 70 one pair or
shoulders when 10 should have been
shared by two or three.
I'm most respects Mr.. T. G. Bangs.
valuable actor, was not ill-suited for Jim.
lie has great measure Of strength, ana
his voice is good but his first scenes were
married by q lack OF restraint, and ne
appeared more as a craven than daring,
successful fOrger. His reading differed
from the established precedent and was
more interesting than convincing. His
final scene was "a splendid piece of work.
The Haedtfeld. too of W. j. Ashley was
not wholly successful. As a whole, his
picture Of the Baron lacked variety, and
was deficient in light and shade. ana,
moreover, did not convey the idea or
power-the idea that he held Jim firmly
in the hollow Of his hand. Nevertheless
he had some excellent moments
Miss Marie Edith Rice. as the heroine,
steadiel every scene and reused it into
life. her finished method and firm touch
being Of inestmable value. Next to Miss
Rice the most substantial support was
Mr. Edward Emery playing Captain Red
ford on straightforward lines. The Perci-
val of Mr.. Harrington Reynolds lacked
forge. but was played with tact.
Miss Frances Seers was scarcely sue
cessful as Agnes. Mr.. Edwin Meyer was
easy and efficient as Drelincourt ana
Miss Lillian SchOevlin did not suggest
Lady Dunscombe either in manner or APP
pearance.
