As for the preferences Of the people,
that Is another matter, but an incident
may be interesting. A few nights ago
a Comic opera drew to the Columbia
theatre one of the largest crowds that
has ever been in that house. AS an
encore ono of the women sang q toni

unklndly, and then sang verse rather
laudatory of Cleveland. The ridicule
OF Roosevelt was we'll received, Bryan's
name was heard in silence but men

So far no one has intimated an in
tention to oppose Governor Hayward
for second term. Ex-Solicitor Mar
tin r. Ansel has his eye on the ball
all the time, and if he does not get in
the game again this year can be count
ed on for sure in 1905. At that time
Lieut-Gov. Jno. T. Sloan hopes to
step up into the Governors place and
1T is quite possible that Speaker Men

and good campaigners,
