MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE THOMAS ORCHESTRA.

The programme last night was in every re-
spect interesting one and especially so on account OF
the production Of two pieces. the Ali Bnba over
ture by Cherubni, ana Suite, "HArlesiennc," by
French composer quite new to u.s. Georges Bizet The
Ali Baba overture has ali the freshness and charm OF
Cherubins music is full Of bright and graceful melo-
dies thoroughly characteristics The Suite belongs
to that modern French school OF orchestral music wlch
is rapidly growing into prominence. 1t Is bright wei
instrumentated, with plenty Of contrast between tho
different parts, and who Of the ghtest and most TAX
ing character is still thoroughly good music. The work
is divided into four parts Prelude, Minuet, an
AdagiettO, and Carlton The Preu de, which has two
distinct movements is charming, well orchestrated ana
cleverly written Tho Minuet is light graceful as df
ferent Haydns minuets possible but very pleas
ing The AdagetO full Of sentiment and expression
not at all Of the maudin Sort and has but one au-lt
is too short The Carlton opens with imitation OF the
ringing of bels and wanders off into delightful little
movement. The whole work was salts sactOry,
and can only improve with further hearing

music very WELL sic is not at all at her best in 1t. she
is one Of the strongest interpreters that we have'
perhaps the worry strongest of Handes and other oass
cal music is pity that she should not let herse

rendered throughout the Aleyetto from the sth

TILDEN AND THE AMERICAN ALLIANCE.

HIS ACCEPTANCE OF THE ALLIANCES ASSISTANCE
WHILE RUNNING FOR GOvERNOR-Goy. HAYES
NOT A MEMBER OF The ALLIANCE.
To the EditOr OF The- Tribune.
SIR: | wish to correct some mistakes made by
persons in commenting upon the letter sent to
tho American Alliance by Mr.. A f. Lee, Gov
Hayess secretary. 1. Gov. Hayes never was a
member of the American Alliance. q He never
saw the constitution or bylaws of the organiza-
ton. 3. No committee Of this order ever at any
time called on him, either at Philadelphia, Colum-
bus or any other place, for any purpose. We simply
informed him by letter that wo indorsed his nomi-
nation, in answer to which received the letter
from his secretary. That letter taken from my
Office, and was as much surprised as any one can
be TO see it in print
am at a loss to see why Democratic papers
should find any fault with the proceedings, as we
indorsed Mr.. Tilden for Governor two years ago,
and he found no fault with it, but on the contrary
was very grateful for the assistance, only he re-
quested that he kept secret if it should become
public. he feared he would lose the foreign vote.

the smith, but that's the prettiest you ever saw

most perfect jiggoo OF the Centennial year.
