CLAN M,1EOD,s GRAND CONCERT.

 Outward Lely Delights the Large Audience
 and is Ably Assisted by His Charming
 Wife and Master Charles Meehan-short
 Sketch of the Great Tenor's Career.
 Clan McLeods concert in the Fly perion last night was what might be termed from musical point of view par excellence. The star of the evening was, of course, Madam PattPs favorite tenor, Outward Lely, who was assisted by his charming and accomplished wife and ably supported by Master Charles Meehan of New York, who made his first appearance in this city and who more than upheld his part of the pro- gram and greatly pleased the audience with his remarkable voice. Durward Lely's brilliant career is well known to the public.
 The following was the program rem dered last evening:
 PART I.
 Piano-fore-Selectlon of National Airs
 Mrs. Lely.
 Song-Afton Water-Mr. Lely. Song-Come Into the Garden, Maud
 MT. Lely.
 ong-Leonore-Maste Meehan. Song-Tom Bowling-Mr. Lely. Song-The Cruiskeen Lawn-Mr. Lely.
 PART II. Song-McGreGor's Gathering-Mr. Lely. Love Song-If I But Knew-Master
 Meehan.
 song-The Minstrel Boy-Mr. Lely. song-Royis Wife O Aldivalloch-Mr
 Lely.
 serenade-To Be Near Thee-Master
 Meehan.
 song-My Boy, Tammie-Mr. Lely. Song-Sally In Our Alley-Mr. Lely. Auld Lang Syne. Star Spangled Banner.
 The great tenor was in excellent voice and whether 1t was the grave or the gay, the humorous or the pathetic, he was equally at home and never failed to evoke the plaudits of the audi ence. His short stories and jokes were also immensely enjoyed by the audi ence. At the close in "Auld Lang Syne" he substituted "The Star Span- gled Banner" which he rendered with such patriotic spirit and fine effect that it fairly brought down the house Mrs. Lely was an able and efficient accompanist, and was presented with a beautiful boquet of flowers Master Meehan shared in the evenings honors and will be welcomed in New Haven again. He responded to two encores and was the recipient of beautiful boquet of Lilies of the Valley. The affair was a great credit to the mem- bers of Clan Mcleod, under whose ausDipefS if mas held J,arpra datago tions of visiting brethren were present from Bridgeport, Hartford, Meriden, and Ansonia. After the concert a reception and banquet was rendered the visitors at Heubleln's.

Mr Editor: Now that the great con-
ference is near at hand, I am wonder
ing whist the conservatives, that are
going to take part ia that body, will
do; how they will feel among those
who have b:en backing up and sup
porting the fraudulent government we
have had the last four years. l hope
they will not 60 into the trap that is
being set for them. Will they go into
whar is called a Democratic primary?
II hope not for one will never vote
in that trap. 1t may be we'll for the
conservatives to go and hear what sort
OF compromise is to be proposed. l
| have heard one of the wisest statesmen
in Fairfield county a.d one Of the
purest Jefersonian Dem ocrats say that
that the conservatives were standing
out for principle, for a government of
the people, for the people, and by the
people, and they could not, without
stultifyins themselves, 60 into COM
promise with those who for the last
four years have been upholding gov
ernment of Tillman, for Tillman, and
5y Tillman. And this is all there has
been of it.
If the conservatives are trapped into
primary, they ought to be disfran-
chisea during life. The coming con-
vention to form new constitution has
a,wa,s been hobby with the Till
NANTES, and it is Intended that the
suffrage question is to be the point.
| With The experience we had i'll the last
election, where wholesale disfranchise-
ment was prscticed, the conservatives
had better be careful. If they go into
| it in a minority they will be actually
helping the fraud, bat if they stand off
ard watch they may be able to elect
delegates Who will give the people s
fsi~ and honest constitution.
Just now it looks 10 me about like
the fable of the fox and the blood
sucking flies. When the fox was
about to be done to death bird offered
to drive off the swarm; but the fox
said, s:No, these flies are now abaut
satisfied, and the one king ice has
about ali he wants. If this swarm is
driven away larger swarm. headed
by forty, is ready to pounce upcH nae. "
Now to drop the fable and come to
facts: Tilllnan aud his swarm are
about done, but here is larger ore
ready 10 devonr the fox, that is, the
conservatives. And they will do it /:
they don't keep q lookout. l hope no
vesk-kneed conservatives will 60 into
the conference. P.
