FRIDAY. MAY II, 1897.



The election for municipal officers will
take place in three weeks from next Sat
arday Whatever stops may DO takou by
the members Of tho Republican party to
insure harmony of action must be taken
right speedily. We hopo tho lesson of the
failure to harmonise last November will
not BIO lost GU the leaders of the party
The defeat experienced at the polls has
brought untold OWLS not only upon the
party. but upon tho State. 1t made the
steal In Kent county possible, gave the
Democrats the Governor, tho Congressman,
u majority of the Legislature, a majority
uf tho Constitutional Convention, a U. S.
Senator, and plan of districts for the
election of members Of the Stnte Senate
and House Of Representatives, that will
make the two bodies certainly Democratic
forever, unless some revolution in public
sentiment shall occur that 1t is impossible
to foresee. The Republicans may carry
the State by a sweeping majority, yet the
Democrats will control the Legislature
The same statement will apply to the Levy
Court in each county. The Districts are
such that the Republicans cannot hope to
obtain majority. If any Republicans
like the arrangement we should like to
hear from them, We think in view Of
such unfalrncss the Republicans should
bury their differences aud make deter.
mined rally to regain tho ascondency IN
our city. There are many honorable
Democrats who have become Disguised
with the party and will vote to rebuke tho
leaders, If tho Republicans will show by
their nominations that they deserve sue

CONCERT At STANFORD.
University Choral Society and APOLLO Club
of San Francisco Score
Success.

PALO ALTO, CAL, May s-The Choral
Society at Stanford, assisted by the Apollo
Club of San Francisco, scored another tri-
umph this evening. The concert given in
Encina Gymnasium was pronounced by a
critical audience to have been even supe-
rior to that rendered last year.
The chorus sat on q platform. which
was tastefuliy covered with drapery, and
the singers we've CARRIED in harmony with
the decorations.
The first number was a chorus from
''Tannhauser," Hail Bright a bode" II
was rendered with great expression and
showed careful training. The from bone
effect such as Wagner intended for the
chorus, was brought out with precision.
and the effect was thrilling.
OF the selections from THE Messiah, "
by Handel, the chorus entitled, Behold
tue Lamb OF Cod seemed to make the
most i'm IMPRESSION on the audience. a light
dancing number was followed by Schu-
bert's Forth TO the Meadows" The
quick, happy measure OF the song was one
of the features OF the programme.
Perhaps the chorus which tested the
ability OF the singers most was Moritz
hauptmann's The Linden Tree" In
this song he chorU. did Itself proud. All
OF the difficult airs were truthfuIly en-
phasiZed, and the rendition was warmly
appreciated oY the aud eace. Mendels-
sohn's chorUs He L Watching Over
Israel" wss vel rendered.
The chorus nun oered about two hun
dred mem 6ers- Most Of the Apollo Club
came down On 3 special train from San
Francisco, although some arrived earlier
to visit the university grounds The con-
cert will De repeated Z week from tonight
IN san Francisco.
