"Florodora."

EiOiOdoids
 The happy blending of the many beau tifully designed costumes combined with the general briliancy of the scenic dls- play in "Florodora' forms picture or loyeliness. It has been claimed that there has never been seen in this class Of play anything to quite compare with it in the form of elaborateness as to production. The record of this musical comedy Is all most beyond belief, for it Is rare for light airy entertainment of this kind to hold sway as this one has done over the theatre loving people of New York. AS IS now a matter of record 'Florodora' has earned the distinction of 535 consecutive performances on Broadway, New York, alone and even since that memorable run its has returned to other theatres there and enjoyed enormous patronage.
 It will be seen in this city on next Tuesday and Wednesday and Wednesday matinee at the Jefferson theatre, and will be given in the same artistic manner as elsewhere. with a company of clever artists, and the large chorus.
 The Pretty Maidens' of the double sextette are with the company. The cast as to principals comprises 1sadore Rush, who will be the Lady Holyrood. Corinne, we'll known to theatregoers in all parts of this country, will be heard in the important role of Dolores" in which she should prove eminently satisfactory James Kieman funny last year as "Tweedlepunch' in this comedy, again has the role. The others are Willard Curtiss, Charles H. Bowers. Alfred Ca hill Grace Hazard, Frances Tyson and many more. One of the noticeable fea- lures of this organization Is that they carry their own orchestra thus assuring the proper assistance to the singers from the instrumental department

MAYOR LOW TO THE BAR.
Mcclellan Arraigns Him for the Voters
in Queens Borough.

The leaders of the Tammany ticket,
Mcclellan, Grout and Fornes, spoke in
Queens last night. At Schuetzen Park,
Astoria, where Mayor Low spoke on Mon
day night they were greeted by as noisy
crowd as Long Island City and the sur
rounding sections could furnish The
audience hooted and yelled and sometimes
cheered the brass bands, Of which there
we're three, in preference TO the speakers
This happened most frequently when Mr.
Fornes was speaking.
MIR. Fornes looked uncomfortable as he
stood cross legged waiting for quiet to be
restored and attention to be turned from
tho bands to himself
Col. Mcclellan read speeches in two of the
five different languages of which he is said
to be master-in Italian and Eng lish In
English he said, among other things, that
Mayor Low had not kept his pledge to the
Deople Of Queens in regard to the BlackwelIs
Island Bridge. Mr. Mcclellan charged in
an uncertain way that Bridge Commissioner
Gustav Lindenthal, who was formerly con-
nected with the Pennsylvania Railroad,
was still working in the interest Of that
corporation.
Mr.. Lihdenthal, Col. Mcclellan said, had
tried to reduce the size of the proposed
Blackwell = Island Bridge, 80 that the Long
Island Railroads ferry traffic might not be
injured. Col Mcclellan declared that he
stood for improved interborough trans
portation facilities. Or Mayor Low he
said;

however to imagine that he Is prisoner AT

has proved himself, on both counts, unworthy

COMPTROLLER Grout was well received
He devoted his speech TO reiteration Of
his rema rlIs on Mayor Lows relation TO the
tax rate. He also denied the accusations
made by Mayor Low against Borough Presi-
dent Cassidy Of Queens in connection with
the Blackwell's Island Bridge.
Mr.. Fornes said whst he has said before
that Tammany offered to Mr.. Circuit and
Linn the nomination without any cond-
tons Then he exclaimed
That was grand; that was noble From

! don't think they ever used Bob here be-
fore. but this year Charley Murphy is going
TO bring him over with his gang and if they
don't deliver at least 10000 votes for
Mcclellan they won't be living up to their
past performances.
Bob is coming over with 500 men, more
than enough to give Mcclellan TO- 600 votes
The gang will round up at saloon on Four
teenth street. just opposite Tamnany Hall.
They'll vote on lot of names before the
real owners OF the names are out of bed
election morning. There's a tip for young
Morgan and for Cutting and Bruce.

CRITICISE SUPT. MORGAN.
Republican District Leaders In Secret
Special Meeting.

special Meeting.
A special meeting of the Republican
county committee was held yesterday
afternoon No report of Its proceedings
was given out, but members said that
Superintendent OF Elections Morgan had
come in for some sharp criticism for failure
to act promptly on reports OF irregularities
made by RI publican district leaders. One
of them said;
Because Gov Odeli, who appointed
him, holds US responsible for the $4,000
majority against him last year, Mr.. Morgan
seems to regard us az hostiles,'
President Bruce said he realized that
Supt Morgan's force was insufficient to
cope with the Vaccinations Of Tammany,
but that Supt. Morgan ought to have the
assistance OF all Republican and Citizens
Union workers.
EARLY in the day President Bruce gave
out statement, in which he said
We have the election won unless Tam

colonizing on a gigantic scale. and our fight
must be chiefly directed against illegal voting.
Men have been bro usht here from Troy.
from Paterson, v. j.. from Philadelphia and
other places. and they have been registered
as living four and five months in the districts
where Tammany is paying their room rent
for thirty days.
This bold coonizing is not confined TO
the downtown and East Side districts II
has been extended throughout the city.
No less than 20 900 foaters have been brought
into the city. Knowing that persons who
registered as thirty and sixty day residents
OF district would be investigated. the Tam
many leaders had their doaters register as
having lived four and five months In the
district where they are auartered. They
have planned the boldest attempt to steal
an election that was ever essayed in this city.

DEMOCRATIC HARMONY IN TROY.
Ex-senator Murphy and Mayor Conway
shake Hands at Big Political Meeting.

TROY. Oct 27.-Former United States
Senator Murphy and Mayor Conway have
made up They have shaken hands and
the politicians are amazed. None would
have dared predict such a thing. The
dramatic tableau was seen last night at
big meeting of Democrats in the lower
part Of the city.
Mr. Murphy made the overture OF peace
He and the Mayor sat on the stage at OPP
posite sides Without a word to any one.
and to the great surprise Of every bcholder,
Mr.. Murphy walked over to his most per-
sistent and bitter political enemy and ex-
tended the hand of friendship 1t was
taken in the same spirit, and shortly after
ward, when Mr. Conway had finished a
speech in favor of the ticket nominated by
Mr. Murphy, he in turn approached the
man who had forced him out Of the Demo
cratic party and extended his hand. 1t
was grasped cordially
These two signs OF reconciliation aroused
the big meeting to almost hystericai en-
thusiasm Just twelve years ago this fall
Mr. Conway, then County Ger k, was re-
moved from office by Gov. Hill at the in
stigation, Conway said, OF Mr.. Murphy.

Conway fought his former leader. and four
years ago, by alliance with ex-Gov. Black.
