TARE THEATER "A SOAP BUBBLE."
If applause and laughter count for any
thing A Soap Hubble" made a decided hit
at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon
and last night. The house was crowded at
Loth performances. Nothing funnier has
been seen at the Park for a long while than
this sketch. It is extravagant, with no
particular plot and no real dramatic merit,
depending entirely upon the cleverness of
the people in presenting it. It is simply a
jumble of musical selections, ridiculously
funny incidents, absurd situations and
overdrawn stao business. K. J. Connelly,
who takes the character of the barber, is a
very funny comedian, and the other mem
bers of the company give him good support.
The same piece will run nil week aud will,
no doubt, attract large audiences.
NOTES.
The Lilly Clay Specialty Company will
appear at tho (irandOpera:houK0 to-n;orrow
night. The engaument is for but a single
performance, and the advance 6ale of seats
indicates a crowded house.
"A IJrass Monkey." Hoyt's popular
comedy, will occupy the etage of tho Grand
Opera-house the last three nights of the
week, with a Saturday matinee. This will
bo the Jirbt attraction of tho regular sea
son, and a better one could not nave been
secured for the opening.

THE DEMOCRATS IN DOUBT
Norton Deriving Assistance from Sulli
van's Dislike to Become 3Iayor,
But the Friend 0f the Two Judges Confidently
Claim the Nomination for Their Candidate
Election Boards and Voting Places.
The Democrats are disturbed as to the
probable outcome of their city convention.
They have, apparently, not reached that
position of certainty when an assured
success would permit them to accept'
either one of tho judges who are being
urged for tho mayomlity. A ieeling is ex
pressed against Sullivan on account of his
indifference to the matter. His position is
regarded as selfish, inasmuch as it is un
derstood that his standing in his party,
relative to a candidacy for - the circuit
judgeship, depends upon the conrse he
now pursues. If he had no desire to go on the
bench again, he would have none to be the
Democratic candidate for Mayor. His ac
ceptance of a nomination for the latter
ollice is being made to serve his canvass for
the other. Ho has said positively that
ho does not want to be Mayor, and
while ho will do nothing to secure the nom
ination, he is willing to accept it only at
tho solicitation of his friends.
No one bet ter understands the value of such
a "position on the part of an opponent in ad
vancing his own chances than Judge Nor
ton, lie and his friends are not losing
sight of it, and wherever they go they scat
ter tho seeds of discontent, fToni which they
expect to derive a benelit when the con
vention occurs. "No man." said a Demo
crat, yesterday, "understands the tricks of
electioneering better than Norton. He is
always on the alert, and a canvass by him
is for all there is in it, no matter whom it
effects, so he is .the beneficiary.
I was down in the Seventeenth ward
the other night, just after a contingeut of
the Norton faction had been there. I met
a man who, during the day, was au earnest
Sullivan supporter, but in the evening he
told mo that ne would vote for no man who
would not show some disposition to work
for himself. Norton, he said, will bo nomi
nated. Tha't is but one of the devices Nor
ton is using effectively against Sullivan.
Another, I presume.istheone he successful
ly applied when he was a candidate against
liuskirk for criminal judge. There was a
toll-gate keeper near the city who had con
siderable influence, which he exerted until
a day before ithe convention against Nor
ton. He was an enthusiastic Iluskirknian,
and Norton wanted him. The afternoon
bqfore tho convention the Judge drove
out to tho toll-gate and said to the
keeper: I understand you are for me.
1 am sure I appreciate your friendliness,
and place a much higher value on your in
fluence than Bnskirk.'
'What's the matter with BuskirkT' ea-
gcrly asked the gate-keeper.
He says,' replied Norton; 'that it makes
no difference whether you are for me or
not, as you are a man of no influence.'
The gate-keeper went to the convention
and worked for Norton. But Norton is
tireless in a canvass. He is out early and
late, spending money freely. He goes into
uo ward without making a favorable im
pression, and I think he will be nomi
nated." The conclusion this politician expressed on
tho strength of his observations of the can
vass, is not indorsed by some, although there
are fully as many who, without preference
for either judge, say Norton will bo tho
nominee. There is friction in the canvass,
and the leaders of the party are trying to
keep it down as much as possible. This is
tho method County Attorney Spencer is
using. "I don't know who will bo nomi
nated," he said yesterday.
"But surely," suggested the reporter,
"you have an opinion."
"Perhaps; but I am not willing to state
delinitelv what it is. However, if the con
vention had taken place to-day, Sullivan
would have been nominated. There is no
telling now Vhat may occur. Perhaps
there will bo a new candidate."
"Has any one been mentioned?"
"No; but there are always probabilities,
you Knovy." as Mr. fcpencer retired CoL
Goose" Eden, of tne Coy brigade.
came
up.
and
at
the
outset
expressed hut little knowledge as to what
was going on. "But I am for Sullivan." he
said, "lie mar be nominated, Units all
I can say." This is suggestive of the gang
working in both directions with the
chance of cither nominating Norton and
McGiunis, the latter for city clerk, or Hul
livan and McGinnis. The Coy men, flushed
with their victory at the primaries Friday
evening, will insist upon having a repre
sentative on the c;ty ticket. Indianapolis
Democracy cannot do without the gang.
"Norton knows what he wants,1' said a
friend of that gentleman yesterday, "and is
not afraid to ask for it. He is helping his
snpporters in their work to the best of his
ability. On the other hand. Judge Sulli
van's strongest ' backers claim nothing
further than that their candidate has
agreed to take tho nomination if
it is tendered to him. He makes
no secret of his aversion to the duties
of the office and his disinclination to
put himself in a position where, by any
possibility, he may be called upon to per
form them. This attitude is beginning to
have its cllect among Democratic brethren,
who have beeu accustomed to see their can
didates get out and hustle for votes at the
head of tho column instead of sitting back
in a shady corner of the tent. They want
no waiting for crowns of victory to bo
jammed down over their cars by main
strength and iu spite of earnest protesta
tions." "As I understand the matter," said a
well-known Democrat, "Judge Sullivan
has refrained from saying ho would not ac
cept a nomination for Mayor, if tendered .
him, although he does not rant it, simply
and solely oecause ho is unwilling to do
anything which might militate against his
chances of a Democratic nomination
hereafter which he does want. His polit
ical ambition is understood to run iu the di
rection of a judgeship, and he probably
realizes that if ho should be governed by
his inclinations now, and speak as he feels,
declining absolutely to make thexnayoralty
race, ho might be met, when he comes to make
his next race for tho bench, with a rebuff
from his present supporters. Tho Demo
crats would not hesitate to remind him that
if he was not disposed to help them make a
tight when they wanted him, they were not
disposed to make a light when no wanted
them. Nevertheless, there! has been no at
tempt on his part to conceal his aversion
to the otlice and it dutks, nor of his disin
clination to mako any effort to secure
the nomination. For one I am not disposed
to push a man into a placo he does not
want, when there are plenty of good men
willing to take it, and discharge-its duties
cheerfully and efficiently."
Another objection urged against him is
that he is not as approachablo as the ideal
Jeffersonian should be. when the average
Democrat conies into his presence. Jt is
said instead of being put at his ease, so that
he can spit aud be sociable, he is congealed
into a species of petrifaction which pre
vents him from having tho nso of
his most common functions. These things
seem trivial to the philosopher who holds
that the ollico must seek the man and not
the man tho cilice, and that sociability
ought to cut no figure in the selection of a
candidate for oilicial duties, but thev havo
their weight and iulluence, nevertheless,
and are making themselves felt in the pres
ent contest. Democrats who could not tind
takers a week ago for wagers that Sullivan
woujjl bo nominated find no difficulty in
securing people willing to invest in opposi
tion to that basis now, and tho odds are in
tho contrary direction where they aro
given.
There is nothing further reported from
tho newly organized Democratic city cen
tral committee, and the executive commit
tee which is said to have been settled upon
by Chairman Bridges, has not been publicly
announced. There is enough business on
lmndin the way of settling Democratic
rows, in various wards, to keep the commit
tco busy for several weeks to come, and the
chances of a late city couveution improvo
daily.

Favor Late Convention.
Most of the talk in Republican circles,
yesterday, was in favor of holding a lato
city convention, and tho members of the
Kepublican city central committee who ex
pressed any views on the subject favored
that plan. Thero is nothing to
bo gained," said a former chairman
of the committee, "by holding an early
convention, and nothing to he lost by hav
ing a late one. Now that the committee
work is well in hand, it would bo a good
deal better to hold the city con
vention ten days or two weeks in advance
of the election, and have a short, sharp and
decisive campaign than to hold the conven
tion now for tho 6ako of having the nom
inations a month earlier. All the prelim
inary work will go on steadily from this
time forward, under the direction of the
committees, and no injury will result
to tho organization from holding otT the
citv nominations. It will be merely the
difference between spreading the general
campaign over nearly two months, instead
of a fortnight."
There was somo movement yesterday
among the friends of Harry Craft looking
toward bringing kim out as a mayoralty
candidate on tiie Kepublican side, and the
friends of Major Holstein. General Foster
and others nro still busy advocating their
litness lor tho place. Tho only methodical
canvass in connection with tho conven
tion is bein?j made with reference to
tho nomination for the city clerk
ship, and for this the various
candidates are all putting in earnest work.
In the Third aldermanic district, it is un
derstood. Councilman Thalman will accept
the Kepublican nomination for alderman,
if it is given hint, and it is probable either
Alderman "Wright or Hairy Smith will be
his colleague from that district.
'Additional Primaries.
Additional Hepublican primaries will be
held this evening, up to 8 o'clock. The one
in the Thirteenth ward is to held at Chand
ler & Taylor's; the Fourteentn ward at S04
Blake street; the Seventeenth at
the engine-house on Maryland street,
between Pennsylvania and Meridian
streets, and the Twenty-fourth at No. 472
South Meridian street, Iu the Thirteenth
the struggle has narrowed down to a contest
between Edward Dunn and Stephen Craw
ford, and in the Fourteenth all the candi
dates have withdrawn except William
Davis.
C0UXC1L3IEX AND ALDERMEN.
An Evening Devoted to Routine Business,
with but Little Discussion.
The City Council last night spent nearly
four hours in the transaction of the routine
business that was unbroken by over the
usual amount of discussion upon subjects
both pertinent and otherwise. The bond
of tho Western Paving and Supply Com
pany, fixed at $10,000, on tho contract
awarded for paving Pennsylvania street,
between Ohio and "Washington, with
asphalt, was approvod. The sureties are,
William D. Hitchcock, Amos H. Perkins
ana Volncy W. Foster, of Chicago, and
Samuel H. Shearer, of this city. The bond
of the Indianapolis Brush Electric-light
and Power Company for $25,000, by which
its acceptance of the general electric-light
ordinance is to be assured, was approved,
with John Caven and Eugene Metier as
sureties.
The special committee to which, was re
ferred the remonstrance against the re
building of E. Ilauh & Sons' fertilizing
factory, on tho Belt road, near Er.st street,
reported in favor of making no opposition
to the project. Two hundred residents of
tho vicinity had been examined by tho
committee, and of these 170 claimed that
before the establishment was destroyed by
fire it was not a nuisance, but that for the
past few weeks the odor from the ruins had
been very offensive. Thirty claimed very
persistently that it was and is a nusianco.
Councilman Kelly thought that if the Coun
cil should accept the report it would not be
acting advisedly, for, he said, tho factory
is a detriment to the neighborhood. Coun
cilman Hicklin was iu favor of taking any
course that would rid the Council of the
question, as it was a matter over which it
had no control. The report was received, -without
discussion, on a vote of 13 to 8.'
Yeas, Burns, Dunn. Elliott. Finch, Gasper,
Hicklin, Johnston, Dung, Pearson, Smith,
Swain, Thalman and Y ilson; nays. Cum
mings, Darnell, Kelley, Markov, McClell
and, O'Connor, Stuckineyer and Trusler.
Councilman Swain introduced a special
motion that the Council express its 83rmpa
thy with Edward Dunn, in his late bereave
ment, in the death of his wife. It was car
ried unanimously by a standing vote. Tho
motion to allow the city employes their va
cation yesterday, with regular pay, which
came from the Board of Aldermen as a an
amendment to the Council's originalaction,
was defeated. r
After arranging for tho voting places for
the municipal election and appointing .
judges "and inspectors, which are given
lu another column, considerable time was
spent in considering tho various appro
priation ordinances. Among them was one
providing for a fountain and driven well
in rtho park adjoining the grounds of the
Institute for the Education of the Blind.
An ordinance providing for the running of
an electric railroad from West Indianapolis
to this city on a twenty years' lease was
referred to the committee on railroads. An
ordinance providingfor tho paving of Penn
sylvania street from Seventh to Exposition
avenue with asphalt was passed. The
Council then adjourned.
t
Board of Aldermen.
The Board of Aldermen held a 6hort scs-'
slon last night for the purpose of concur
ring in the Council's action in regard to tho
fixing of ward and'precinct voting places
and tho inspectors and judges for the Octo
ber election. Tho bond of the Western
Paving and Supply Company, for paving
Pennsylvania street, from Ohio to Washing
ton street, with asphalt, was also approved.
Ready to Remove Republicans.
John Riley is one of the trustees of the
Institute for tho Education of tho Blind,
also master of transportation for the Chi
cago division of tho Big Four road. Why
Mr. Riley was chosen as trustee of an edu
cational institution at so late a day in the
nineteenth century is a great deal more of
a puzzle than Pigs in Clover.". If a civil
service procession were to make a street
parade here to-morrow it is not likely that
Mr. Kiley would be called upon to act as
drum-major and march in front of tho
baud. "Tho Journal," says this trustee in
conversation with a reporter, "may kick all
it wants to on the changes made in the
Blind Asylum. Pm no civil-service man,
and every timol see a Republican head pop
up I'll cut it off and put a Democrat ou
every time." One of the heads that Mr.
Riley wants to cut off belongs to Dr. Stone,
who is, aud always has been, a Democrat;
the other is that of Miss Loomis, tho gov
erness, a lady who, the superintendent 6ays,
is almost invaluable and has the love and
respect of every one in the institution.
Mr. Riley's guillotine is evidently no re
specter of persons.
Insolent Thieves.
The fruit thicvejj of tho South Side by
no means confined to street Arabs and weed
patch Bedouins have become so annoying
by the persistence and insolence of their
robberies hat some ot the residents have
cut down their fruit trees and uprooted
their vines to rid themselves of the intoler
able nuisance. Frequently, when the men
of a house are away at work, the thieves
openly enter a fruit lot or mount the fence
and plunder the trees and vines. When re
monstrated with by the helpless women,
they tell them, as they did the wife of an
old newspaper man recently, to "Go to ;
they'd take all the pears and grapes they
wanted." There is no protection in law, or
its officers, for the victims of this plunder
and brutal insolence, and the thieves know
