A Large Gathering at
City Hall.
Interest in Sheriff Contest the
Chief Feature.

The Democratic rally in City hall last
evening was an unusually large and
spirited meeting. This hall was filled,
both on the floor and in the galleries,
AMI there was a very different spirit to
the meeting from that of the uusuaI
Democratic rally. The audience had evil
IDENTIFY come, not to hear about Bryan or
Is to ], but TO see and hear Mr. LlewelIvn
Barton and learn about the absorbing
question Of the sheriff.
Mr.. Barton was the first speaker, and
when he arose one could hear a pin
drop. lie began by referring to his re-
cent meeting at Scarboro wherein he was
asked II there was truth in the story
thst be had been nominated by Despeaux
money land was favored by the rumsel-
lers. lie said he told his questioner that
the story was false in every particular, -
and that a'fouler slanuer never emanated
from political foe.
Mr.. Barton went on Co relate how he
returned to Portland and published q
letter In the papers denying the story,
and concluding with the sentence at

BY this ne meant that ministers as well
as others should be governed by the com

Mr. Barton then related how at tn

At this point when Mr.. Barton had APP
parently concluded, there was stir in
the audience, and tall man, of grim
features adorned with iron gray side
whiskers, put this question in a high
penetrating voice:
Mr.. Barton, can you state the prob
able income OF the sheriff Office as at
the present administered2
Ths questioner was instantly recog-
nized as Farmer Mclaughlin, of Scar

Farmer Mclaughlin went on to say
that once six or eight years ago he went

so long in line of topers before he was

this preliminary statement he PROFOUND

NOTES.
Miss Grace Golden Will next season re-
turn as a prima donua OF the Metropolis
tan English Grand Opera Company to
the stage of the Metropolitan OpeI q
House, where she made her first profess
sional appearance, singing minor roles
with the company directed by Mr.. Henry
e. Abbey. Miss Golden was ambitious
to sing first roles in grand opera, but
could secure the desired experience. So
she Joined the Casino Company and was
prominent in light opera for several
years. The Castle Square Opera Com
pany afforded the first opportunity for
the qualification of her early ambition,
and she has been for three years a con-
sDIouous favOr1te OF the organization.
The August family Will bring with
them from Paris a most elaborate set of
silver table ware for use in the restaurant
scene in John j. McNally's new farce
of which they Will be the feature. They
perform many very funny tricks with
soup tureens, knives, forks, spoons,
of which had to be made of q specific
weight to enable them to be handled
deftly.
KIaw & Erlanger spared no expense in
their production of ''The Rogers Brothers
in Central Park In the second act, the
scene of which is the Casino, Central
Park, Della Fox makes her entrance in a
victoria drawn by $500 blask ''cob."
The body of the victoria is black, the
wheels and carriage furnishings and the
harness are red. This sharp contrast in
color makes the turnout very striking.
Anything finer is seldom seen in Central
Park. The Rogers Brothers appear in
landau drawn by two goats. There Is
also a very stylish ''runabOut' used In
this act. The atmosphere Of this scene
is certainly true to Central Park.
