The district campaign Of the local De-

meeting for the Forty-third District Club

NEW OPERA WILL BE
PRODUCED NEXT WEEK
"THE CoNsPIRAToRs" WILL BE
PUT ON BY MOROSCO.
Music by II. J. Stewart and Libretto
by Clay NJ. Greene-Favorable
Opinions Expressed by
the Critics

On Monday evening next an entirely
original comic opera THE Conspirat-
ors." will be produced by the Morosco
Opera Company at the Grand Opera
house. The music has been composed by
II. J. Stewart and the libretto is the
work Of the well-known playwright, Clay
NJ. Greene. It will receive its first pro-
duction on any stage next Monday even
ing
The scene Is laid IN Spain during the
middle sixteenth century. The plot is ro-
mantle and at the same time comic.
BY those who have an opportunity of
reading the opera and hearing the music
the composition Is said to resemble in
style that of Sir Arthur Sullivan, and the
libretto the Gilbertian order. The char
acters are such that will allow clever in
depreciation on the part Of the Morosco
Opera Company. One striking feature of
the opera is the introduction Of number
Of pretty and catching songs, running the
gamut from solo to sextet.
Among the principal numbers are in
cluded: Solo, IAN Avalanche of Petit
coats" song, and ensemble THE Inev-
liable gaa4 ba TFqg 5% dS0 % Mhen s6la Am onfe TT9f
and chorus, 'Loying's Quite the Thing to
Do; quartet, Let Us One and All in
BBIissfuii, Thrall''; The ConspEators'
Ia Mode" solo, why IS This World
Made Up of Sighing?" song, 81 Do De-
vote My Life to You; song, What a

mate Love; The Kiss Duet" seXtet.

Social Fad song, Why Should Wom-
ans Heart Go Beggtng?" duet, This Is
No Life but Love-; recitative and ensem-
bic, Come to the Altar; quarreling duet,
Chorus of Mad Maidens"; THE Savage
and the Boomerang" Great attention has
been paid to the choruses, which will be
found fascinating and melodious. A
charming incident of act three will be a
novel ballet of beautiful dancing girls,
which has been invented for the occasion
by the stage manager of the Grand Opera
house, Charles H. Jones. This VIII be the

1HE new executive committee OF the

History building last night and
adopted a plan of campaign. fel-
manent organization of the comm 80
was effected without delay. Inc cli'il
man and secretary of the County Conl-
mittee were chosen as such officers OF 'h0
executive body Max Goldberg was elect
ed vice chairman and will preside "iIeh
Mr.. Bouvier cannot be'on deck.
A proposition presented by Alex Tru.
man TO create a campaign committee OF
seven members elected discussion MI
Mccarthy desired that the duties or the
campaign committee should be clearly de-
fined at the outset so that no clash should
occur later on.
Mr. Truman understood that 1t would
be the duty Of the campaign committee
TO provide for meetings IN the various
Assembly districts, to see that nails were
engaged, bands hired. speakers secured
and proper announcement be given OF the
meetings In this work committeeman
representing the Assembly districts should
Of course lend a helping hand. Mr.. Tru-
man referred to the necessity of present
ing plain facts TO the people. Mention
was made that Mayor Phelan was patting
himself on the breast and claiming the
credit for the reform work accomplished
by Supervisors DR.. Perrault, John Lack
mann and Albert Heyer.
Mr.. Mccarthy feared that the campaign
committee might usurp the powers and
privileges of the district committeeman.
His apprehension of danger in this re-
gard was removed when 1t was resolved
that the chairman and secretary Of the
executive body should be eX-otficio mem
bers of the campaign committee, and that
there should be weekly meetings Of the
committee throughout the campaign.
Max Goldberg insisted that there should
be q committee clothed with authority to
act and TO be accountable to the general
body for the engagement of halls. the
hiring of bands and the disbursement Of
money for the expenses of the various
meetings. Mr.. Goldberg advocated Wig
orous campaign. He was encouraged by
the report OF Republican unity and the
evidences of Republican enthusiasm, but
recognized the necessity for active work
in each OF the Assembly districts. He
contended that certain powers should be
delegated TO the campaign committee,
and that the committeeman in the respec-
tive Assembly districts should cooperate
with the campaign committee to bring out
the voters to attend the meetings.
Alex Truman's motion that the chair
appoint a campaign committee of seven
prevailed. Later in the evening Chair
man Bowler named the following to COM
pose the committee;

The subject of securing quarters sepa-
rate from the headquarters of the Horace
Davis Central Club was discussed A j.
Martin moved that a committee of three
be appointed to engage suitable rooms,
but withdrew the motion in favor of a
suggestion made by Mr.. Brandt that the
chairman be authorized to select the quar-
ters MIR. Bouvier spoke of desirable
rooms in the Baldwin Annex, already fur
niShed.
After effecting permanent organization
the committee went into executive ses-
sion to discuss detailed plans for conduct
ing the campaign to a victorious finish.
Reports were submitted showing that
many prominent citizens of Republican
faith who mad given their support to
using their energies and influence to Sc
cure the election of Horace Davis
From every district Of the city word
comes that the old-line Democrats who
councils by Phelan and McNab
have resolved to withhold their
support from the nominees of the McNab
convention. The Committee of One Hun
dred will be asked to get its votes from
the source where it derived authority to
manage the party-from the Democratic
State Central Committee.
The Republican leaders are now con-
Vinced that Horace Davis will be elected
He will be elected by large majority of
the Republicans who supported Phelan
their party fold. Phelan's success last
November was obtained by the knitting OF
Judge Mcguire. Phelan Democrats voted
for Gage in return for Republican votes
for Phean, and so it happened that Pat
ton and Mcguire were slaughtered. Spe-
cial precautions will be taken to prevent
such knitting tactics at the next election.
McNab Democrats will vote for Phelan,
the free silver or Bryan Democrats will
vote for the ticket of the Peoples party
If the candidate for Mayor thereon is not
Objectionable. and the Republicans will
vote for Horace Davis and the entire Re-
publican ticket.
After the adjournment of the executive
