CIRCUS IS TOO BIG FOR STREET PARADE New York. Oct. In the four speeches which William Randolph Hearst, nominee of the Independence League and Democrats for the govern orshlp of New York slate, made last night In Manhattan, the candidate had much to say regarding the attacks made upon him by the papers of this city. * In this connection he said he felt sure he could have been more popular with his fellow newspaper proprietors If. when invited, he had b«en willing to enter Into a trust with them to raise the rates to advertisers end keep down the wages of employee*. He branded as false the published statement that he would spend a mil lion dollars In the campaign, and as. ssrted he would spend nq more than he did In the campaign of Grover Cleveland and W. J. Bryan when he was merely Interested as a Democrat. "Various New York papers," said he, have stated that I, have made a com pact with the bosses In order to secure my nomination on the Democratic tlck- I had no understanding wtlh any bosses before the convention or at the convention or after the convention. I had at the convention 111 votes from the state and outside of the city In which I lived, and the vote In this city was given to me, or rather part of It was given to me, because ths Demo, crattc rank and file of this city had declared for me, and ths bosses did not dare defy thnt declaration. I have made no private promise to any Indi vidual or to any Interest, and any statement thnt I have or Intimation that I have Is a lie." As lo the charge that he had em ployed Chinese labor on his California ranch, Mr. Hearst ssld: "I have never employed Chinese la bor In sail my life, and I do not own one foot of ground In Palermo, Cel., either directly or Indirectly, nor Is Chinese labor employed on my properly that I own or partially own In California or In any other state of the Union.

George Adt’i Brat musical success cams to the Grand again Monday night for an engagement of three per formances. But It was not like the old "Sultan.” The jokes fell very flat from the lips of ths comedians and ths songs seemed to lack their old swing. Perhaps It was because ‘The Sultan” Is getting In his dotage, nr perhaps It la because the company could not get the humor out of their parts—or rather Into them. But even with all that, the audience warmed under (he Influence of the music and tha riot of color and ap plauded almost every song In the sec ond set. The company Improved under II* encouragement end things went much better than In the Aral act. Th* weakness Is In the comedy. Al bert Sykes falls to Instill fun Into Kl- Ram and Mr. McCarthy falls as Hadji. But the muelc I* fairly well handled and several numbers wsrs given fre quent recalls. Miss Brosks was a surprise. In re sponse to a recall In ths second act she sang "Annie Laurie" In a manner that stilled the audience almost abso lutely until the lest note died away. She was forced to sing the refrain of ths old song again and again. Nothing but the noisy movements of the Irre- iresstble ushers In the rear of the house >roke the spell.

"Bankers and Brokers.” Gua Yorke and Nick Adama and a clever company are presenting a musi cal farce of the prevalent Bijou type at that play houas this week, but It la Just a little above the average—some thing Ilka their last year's vthlcle, only repainted. It’s one of the Rogers Brothers variety of extravaganzas with plenty of fun and music and shore of pretty girls. Every song In the whole show xvas new. and most'of them were tuneful or what’s nearly as good—well ren dered. Dainty Dorothy Brenner managed to attract the majority of binocular at tention, but when ehe wasn't on If stags nn exceptionally good pony bslf tilled the Held of the glasses. One of these ponle* stood out from • rest, however, like a eky-acri from the sky line. She was one of .... leaders and waa always on one of tho ends—the blond one with the broom- handle curls. She had a smile that was put there to stay and thnt looked Ilka one of enjoyment—not the ordl nary commarclal smirk of the ordl nary lady of the chorus—and aha man aged to do her wdrk Just a little better than rest.
