Lincoln, June 26. 184.
Th Cleveland Herald sorrowfully
remarks: "The enthusiasm was for
Thurman the nomination for Cleve
land." The majority of the votes in
November will be for Blaine.
William Pubcell has declined to
remaiu on the New York Democratic
ticket as Presidential Elector-at-large.
He has forwarded his resignation to
the chairman of the state committee.
Mr. Purcell has also retired from the
editorship of hia paper, the Rochester
Union because he cannot conscientious
ly support Cleveland.
We learn that Prof. Vaademan's
name b z been spoken of by some of
the prominent educators in the state
in connection with the office of state
superintendent and have no doubt as
to his fitness and ability for the office.
He has made a good and capable coun
ty superintendent, lias formed quite an
extensive acquaintance throughout the
state and is one of the foremost in ad
vancinour educational interests. We
presume however, that with another
candidate in our coubty for a place on
the state ticket, he will not seriously al
low himself to be pushed forward until
more favorable circumstances may
seem to warrant it. Wahoo Independ
ent. The Indianapolis Times (Ind.) pro
pounds the following ugly questions to
Hendricks and his friends:
Did Mr. Hedricks ever denounce the
trer "onablc .Copperhead organization
known f (he Sons of Liberty?
Did he ever denounce the murder of
enrolling officers by Copperhead Demo
crats dur;u the War?
Did Mr. lifudricks ever publicly con
demn the corruption of Democratic
officials during his term cs Governor?
Will some Democrat inform us of a
single act performed by Mr. Hendricks
during the entire War that sheuld com
mend him to the loyal and Union peo
ple of the North?
What reform did Mr. Hendricks in
augurate when be occupied the position
of Commissioner of General Land Of
fice? Certainly it was not when he
occupied the position ot Commissioner
of General Land Office! Certainly it
was not when he compelled the poor
olerkj in b?s bureau to come down" for

THE DEMOCRATS AND POLYGA
MY. The people should not neglect to con
trast the positions taken by the Repub
lican and Democratic Conventions in
regard to polygamy. To make this
contrast apparent to the naked eye we
subjoin the two utterances:
Bepublican platform. Dtmocralie platform,
Resolved, That itl
is the duty of Con-
eress to enact such'
laws as shall1
promptly and ef
fectively suppress
the system of po
lygamy within out
Territories and di
vorce the political
from the ecclesias
tical power of the
so-called Mormon
Church, and that
the law so enacted
should be enforced
by the civil author
ities, if possible,
and by the military
if need be.
In other words, the Republican plat
form condemns in the most emphatic
terms the shameful polygamous prac
tiffcs in Utah, and demands the extirpa
tion of this disgrace by any means that
may be necessary, while the democratic
platform baa not one word to say in
censure of polygamy or in favor of ex
punging the one blot upon American
civilization. Chicago Tribune.
Some Incidents In the Career of
Miss Louise Sylvester.
From the Cleveland riaindealer.
There are many people in Cleveland
who remember Miss Louise Sylvester
as a member of the Academy of Music
stock company, during Clara Morris
last engagement here some years ago.
From this city she went to Chicago,
and for a time was identified with the
Wood's Museum Company, after which
she went to St. Louis and for two sea
sons appeared in De Bar's Opera House,
where she became a general favorite.
She next came into notice as a star of
an organization known as Post & Loo
mis' Dramatic Company, which pro
duced "FanchoD," "Pearl of Savoy,'
"Little Detective," and similar plays,
which were received with the most flat
tering favor everywhere. From 1875
dates her success in New York City.
After a shor engagement at the Uow-
ery, sne became a member ot tne stock
company at Wood's Museum, for near
ly two years, winning golden opinions
from all sorts of people, subsequently
meeting with the most profound suc
cess at Wallack's. In 1877 she was en
gaged by Mr. Talmer, of the Union
Square Theatre, where her former sue -cess
attended her, and where her ad
vancement was most rapid. One night,
while supporting Clara Morris in 'Miss
Multon"' the sudden illness of Miss
Sara Jewett, then a member of the
company, was announced, at 8 o'clock,
almost at the ringing up of the cur
tain. Miss Sylvester consented to ap
pear in Miss Jewett's stead, and invest
ing herself in the robes of "Madame
De La Tour" commenced the study of
the character as if her whole future
career depended upon its successful in
terpretation. The result was simply
marvelous. Her action was perfect.
while her reading evinced a power that
seemed to be the outcome of a sudden
inspiration. Mr. Palmer sent her a
letter of the most complimentary na
ture, and her position at once was firm
ly established, bhe was subsequently
sent by Mr. Palmer to California, where
she appeared in a 8an Francisco thea
tre, for a short season, at the end of
which the principal citizens of the city
tendered her a complimentary benefit,
the net profits of which amounted to
82,000, in gold. Returning east, her
services were secured by the Criterion
Company, of which organization she
was so valuable a member.
Miss Sylvester's professional experi
ence has been a remarkable one. Her
position tcday as an actor of superior
excellence has been reached through a
channel called at every turn with vari
ous and teaming insurmountable bai
riers. While a member of different
stock companies in New York, her
time was divided between the stage
and the care of a sick mother, for
whom she bore an intense love. A gen
tleman who has watched Miss Syives
ter's careej, said to us : 'Her affection
for her mother was wonderful. I have
heard her say on coming off the stage,
that she begrudged the time the audi
ience spent in laughing at what she
had said or done. Her mother's sup
port and the support ot her younger
brothers depended solely upon her sal
ary, yet she appeared always happy in
her charge I have known her to sit
up all through the night working on
some plain dress, or studying her part
ia some new play, and wondered then
if there was ever a more noble exhibi
tion of self denial. Her mother's death
which occurred a short time ago, was a
terrible blow to her. i
"As to her profession you can safely
say that she is a slave to it. She sel
dom engages in any social pleasures,
preferring to spend her spare time in
study or in work in the silence of her
room. !
"She has seemingly entered upon a
new life with a new ambition, and in
her struggle to reach the goal she will
find the most serious obstacle in her
path to be her extreme sensitiveness.
But I have no fear of this ; the daugh
ter inherits the splendid talent of her
motherwno w3 an excellent actress,
and with an indomitable will to aid in
its development, I hope to see her rise
steadily to complete and lasting suc
cess."
And so do we.
Miss Louise Sylvester will be seen
at the Waterman Opera Honse, Octo
ber 31st, in two of her moat successful
and powerful characters, supported by
a powerful dramatic organization.
Manager Young is securing some fine
attractions for the coming season.
