Constitutional Convention, on Monday, to
combat the statement that he is the !
"princpal hacker Of l1r. Norman T. Gas
sette In his capscity Of lobbyist in the pus-
licus of said Constitutional Convention
Mr. Cody proved by his remarks that he
WAS q hacker Of Mr.. Gasssette. So the
only question At issue is whether he is the
principal hacker, OF whether his claims are
contested by other aspissnts--
The cass is rery simple cne. MI. dss-
eette waa elected to the Office OF CLERK OF
| the Circuit Court Of Cook County IN the
| autumn Of 1865. It Is proposed 70 change
the compensation Of that and several other
fffscsa from fees to salasies, ind perhaps TO
elect Recorder for Cook County, the du.
ties Of which Office nro Mt present deyoa7ed
by law on the Clerk Of The Circuit Court
The thing that Gassotte and Cody are op-
posed to il any diminution Of Gassette's $
fees, An the rest Is biather and NOON
shine. II is perfectly we'll known to both
! Of them thA. there Is no Intention TO lcgss-
, late Gassette out Of Office, or to deal With
him In any manner differently from the
: other officers in this county who are nov
, paid by e1orbitant and unreasonable ices
: The Coot County delegation at Springfield
1 did. at one tune, intand 70 provide for
+ new election for Clerk Of tho Circuit Cou1t
: under tho impression that Gassette pre-
g fe7ed to hold The Office. .oI Recorder. Bot
l. upon the first irtim1tion that be desired Il
Il continue to hold the Clerkship instead, the
l. changed THAR plan and determined TO retail
him III that place. The real and only poin
II in the case Is that which telates 10 dollar
II and CENTS Il Gassette ts enlisted On thi
ID point il mikes no difference with him whic
IL Office be holds. II he Is not satished on
ne he would not be satisfied with all the oMct
va the convention could pile upon him.

,I TICKETS, FOUR DOLLARS !
A Chicago Paper DenOunces the
Nilsson Scale.

A Chicago Paper DenOunces the
~ Nilsson Scale.
From the Chicago Timesl .
Most of the Chicago newspapers are
Just now engaged in an elaborate defense
of Mr.. Strakosch's exorbitant prices for
the Nilsson concerts, in which they take
sides with grasping manager against a
public which is justi6ably indignant at
the extortion. AS most of these news
paper writer's are in the habit of receiv-
ing ,,dead-head" tickets, itis only natu-
raj that they should fail to appreciate
the excessive draw upon the pockets of
those who are accustomed to pay for
what they receive, and these "dead-head'
tickets will also account for the prompt
and energetic championship of the man
ager. That this lis subyerting the true
purpose of the. newspaper ITO protect
the public against extortions, monopo-
lies and swindles-may be easily demon
strated. Strakosch charges four dollars
for the best seats, three dollars for
Others, and two dollars for admission.
Now. if there are three thousand
people at one % Of Nilsson's con-
certs, and there should be under the
immense gratuitous advertising which
the lady has been fortunate enough to
receive, and they pay an average of 50
apiece, this will give Herr Strakosch
$4,000 night His expenses cannot be
more than $4,000, for the most that he
has ever claimed to pay Miss Nilsson is
$1,000 a concert This would leave him
a net profit of $1,000 night for simply
presenting a slady to- the public who was
sure to present herself in the absence Of
any manager. If this be not vextortion
-and one to which very many sensible
people will refuse to submit, in spite of
their desire to hear the Swedish songs
tress-then the "dead-head " newspapers
must give new definition of the word.
Estimating operatic expenses at the
same ratio, il would cost about $40 head
to hear Miss Nilsson on the lyric stage,
where alone, according to the best critics,
she becomes more attractive than her
sisters of songa o ea11oin,il,af, tglt
But the enormous price demanded is
not the only manner in which the public
is imposed upon. A gentleman Who was
asinine enough to be the firstman at the
opening of the ticket office for the sale
of seats, on yesterday, reports that the
seats which he wanted were already
gone, and that about seventy others had
been disposed Of before the box Office
opened at the time advertised. Tom
Keefe, too, a man who would naturally
fit about the light of the opera house,
boasted that he had secured his seats the
night before, as we are informed. There
seems to have been a disposition 70
accommodate opera-house favorites in
preference to the public, although the
public is asked to contribute some $1,000
night to the capacious pockets of Mr..
Manager Strakosch. nsnA'ff'l ,e.
