There has been very little public discus
sion of the senatorial question this week,
but strong currents are evidently running
under the surface. The matter is In the
hands of Gov. Smith, and men who have
talked with him on the subject credit him
with showing sincere desire TO learn the
wishes of the people of the state and to
act in accordance with them. The cues.
tion, as said last week, is whether he will
choose between Gen. Grout and ex-Gov.
Dillingham;, the two avowed candidates, or
whether he will select a third man to fill
out Mr.. Morrilrs unexpired term, and
leave the legislature TO make a permanent
selection in 1900. 1t is urged, and with
much force, that It is the Governors duty
10 select the best man, and that there are
few men fit for The place who would care
to take the senatorship simply to keep the
place warm for a successor. 1t is never
theless a delicate matter for the Governor
to make the selection between two candi-
dates like Grout and Dillingham;. Gen.
Grout's long term Of service at Washing
ton has fitted him for the succession to an
unusual degree, and he has repeatedly
proved his strong hold on the people
of this district. Ex-Gov. Dillingham; is
one OF the strongest, as he is, In the best
sense, one Of the most popular, of the
public men Of Vermont, and he has in him
the making of typical Vermont legisIa-
tor at Washington.
The appointment may come at any time,
and 1t is to be expected that, in any case,
the coming week will see the question set
ted 80 far as Gov. Smith is concerned

this season, and headed by Ada Bothner,
as Teddy. There is an abundance of
bright music and songs, pretty costumes
and appropriate stage settings, etc.
There is hardly a city in America that
has a theater where there is a theater-
going public but what the name of Chas.
H.. Hoyt Is almost a household word. This
well known author is to a degree the IA
ther Of farce comedy. The first time his
name vas brought prominently before the
public was when "A Bunch of Keys" was
first produced. The Keys was a success
and it has made more people laugh than
any other production in farce comedy. Its
annual visit is always looked forward to
with pleasant authorizations in the cities
where it has been before, because those
who lave witnessed the performance
know a good long laugh is in store for
them. Theater-goers never grow tired
of the comedy. "A Bunch of Keys" will
this season be produced on a grand scale
by Gus Bothner who has engaged an ex-
cellent company to produce this excellent
comedy. The piece has been polished up
to date. and special attention has been
given to the specialties, which will en-
brace several novel features among
which a burlesque will be given by the
Acme quartette. The musical numbers
will also be a feature.
