A8 it is customary to giva & review of THE MUSICAL EVENTS OF THE WEEN, and s3 there is for tho past seven days little to wTite about on this subject but the hond-organ and orchestrion, we venture to lay before our rosders some esthetic tit-bits on this subject.

We do not exactly defend the organ-grinder. Thore are too manyof him forcomfort justatpresent: Dbut we encourage moro famous performers when they come as thick ag enow-flakes, and it would be unjust at thin season of tho sear “to clamor for his aonihilation.

Let him mend _his organ, and grind it outside the new fire-limits, aod no- body can say 2n unkind word against him. IS TIME IS BHORT ; his day is but littie longer than that of the sand- fly; his mission is as noble; his prosence &3 jpevitable. Philosophy, chanty, solfishness combine to urge his protection. We must have music in suminer, and he wust supply it. The orqan-grinder furnishes music at populsr prices. Nobody is bound to pay him, and this farnishes ap anworthy excuse fof coudemning him ‘and his performenco. Tho listeuer conspires with his contcience, and argues out meanness in this way: §¥ ho savs the orgnn-grinder's music is sublime (an cpithet ho or she, principally she, showers Hlentifally on Root and Rice), h or sho must in P\ consistency subscribo a viigar copper to de- fray his oxpenses. Bus if the music is pro- Doanced bad, then there can be found no argu- ment for giving. For our vwn part © WE ADMIRE THE OBGAY-GRINDER for many reacons. He estimates music at a rea- soneble Tate, gives opou-air concerts, makos payment voluntary, and seldom intlicts his ef- forts on his audience for morc than ten minttes ata time. Compare thm with the extortiouate rates fcr opera. Comparo tho ultimate. nickal with the §4-seat for gelf and ladr; the comfort of having music bronglt to one's own doonstep With the tedious journey in the car or car- riago; _tho bslmy ovening nir with the baking interior of the opera-houze; snd the mild ten_minutes_with the excruciatiog shree hours. The prejudice against tho organ-grinder, we insist, is unjuet as well ag short-crghted. - By enconiaging Lim we circumvent the prima donns, 2and bring down _her prices within the of other than millionaires. Let us roform this prejudice, with the stipuiation that the orzan- grinders keep away 1rom Lewspaper offices. fhere he is appreciated. o want him to go where he is not apprecieted, and cuttivate those neighborboods where Lis many Viriues aro as. yot but little undersiood. ) [ MUSICAL NOTES.

The Opposition Concentrating on Mr, Caulfield, He Has Mot Yet Rlade Up His Hind about 1f, However. - The Sccond and Third Districts Early in tho present vear Tne TRIBUNE' pre- souted to its readers a statement of the sitnation of affairs in tho various Congroasional Districts throughont tho State, embodying a careful and comprehensivo viow of tho proliminary prepara- tions s they thon appoared. Coming nearer home, and bringing the subject down fo the latest date, we now submit an nccount of the contests in the threo districts in Cook, devoting specinl attention to current gossip concerning tho cunvass in the First District. The contost hera is now well-nigh settled so far o8 nominations are concerned. As to the election, no ono scems ablo to predict, with any- thing like cortainty or confidence, just how the rosult will be, All are agroed that previous political almanacs may as well be consigned to tho waste-paper basket for sll the indications they afford of the probable state of the swenthor this fall. Al signs fail in & dry timo, and thia is cortainly a ‘dry timo politically. Itseems definitely sottied, howover,. that - ST BEGULAR REPUDLICAN NOMINATIONS will be made inthe three Cougrossional Districts, aud that tho party organization is to be pre- served to that extent atleast. Just what namo will bo chosen to desigaste the Opposition does not yet clearly appesr, though it is extremely probable that the rally will be made under the successfal titlo of leat fall, the Peopie's Party. Intwo of the districts the Republican nomina- tions' are practically * fixed up,” snd nothing short of o eharp pulitical thanderbolt will break thoslate, - 1t is conceded that Parwell will bs renominatod in the Third District by scclama~ tion, acd that Werd in the Seoond will have no materinl opposition” before the Convonsion, though both Bood and Campbell wonld bave been glad to seo bim safely out their way. For s time, it i rzid, Ward was undocided whether his- c! = would not be in:proved by werkiug for the nemi- nation ab the hands of the I'cople’s Party, but o finally dotermived to cast hLis forinnes ouce mere with the regular Republican Couvention. This revolvo was uo doubt infivenced by the fact that, in caze be entercd the field on the Peopla’s sido, ho wonld Suda formidable opponeut in the person of CARTER E. HARRISOX, who i8 now in Europe, though constantly in communication with his friends bere. Ilarnson is roally in earnest abont the pomination, and will probubly get it. He paid his monoy lieraily two years 8go, aud. failed. only at tho polls, where ho had ngaiust him the beavy odds_of a Presidential eloction. This tune tha fight_is likely to be more on men than on party priiciples, and Harrison has am- ple reason to fecl hopeful. ;5 IN THE THIRD DISTRICT the labor and distinction of runuivg azaingt Far- well are practicelly given over to Washiugton Tlestng, whiose chances aro believed to have beex greatly improved by tho intelligent and_zeslous Etand taken by his father on tho fire-limits ques- tion. This, #t is calcalated, 'will add to the eldor Hesing's weight with the solid mon of the dietrict, the German aud Irish rank and Llo ‘Deing airoady secure, % THE FIBST DISTRICT. The only fight of interest over tho nominaticn will be in the First District, whero tho stato of {hings in the Republican camp 18 snything but harmonious.

"Tlhie reporter thought be bzd a foothold hers, and endeavored to improve it_by obtaining the Collector's idess as to *working things right,” but met with no succesa whatover. The time bad not arrived for a gubllc proclamation of pulicy on the part of Mr. Judd, snd the reporter withdrew. + ARTHUR DIXON. Bettor success was met with_upon’ accosting Mr. Arthor Dixon, at present President of the Common Council, but whose sonl aspires to_the feat in Congress recently occupied by Mr. Rico. Finding Mr. Dixon nothing loth'to talk, the' re- porter procecded with alacrity to opea the sub- jeet by the somewhat comprebencive interroga- tion : What do you know sbout_the Congressional contest in the First District? ) Afr. Dixon—I know considerable about it, 28 far ag it bas gono. ® THE CAXDIDATES. R.—Yho are the candidates on the Republi- can eido? 9 Mr., D.—Thore are Jobn B. Rice, J, 0. Enicker- bocker, James P. Root, and N, Gassotte, all mentioned in connection with it. R.—1 think vour great modesty has caused the omisgion of one caundidate. How about yous- solf ? Alr, D.—Tva nothing to =y. I'm in the handa of my {riends. R.—Whose chances do you coneidor the best at present ? 3, e Mr. D.—It's too eatly to form an opinion as set. Rice is confident of renomination, but I doubt it vory much. Heis not very weil liked in tho distriot. He has nover done anything for ansbody. They say that balf the time in Con- gress ho did not know what was going on, and §ad to ask tho momber next to Lim Low to vote. Ho is gencrally regarded as & harmless old He would e well enongh in 3a ordinary ranny. B bt T don't believe o can beat Barnoy Caultield. R.—How aboat Reed, Eni: rbocker, and the rest ? ir. D.—Charley Reed positivoly decleres that he won't take it. e lias ot a better thing now 25 regards monay, and na for the honors, he rays foo can wait. Knickrbocker also 8ays he wouldn's havo it if olected. Gassotto would probably ac- ceps the nomination if 1t wero tendered him, but e says hois not a candidate, and is not working forii. As for the chances of Boot and myzelf, I can give you no 1dez just now. DITON’'8 CEOICE. R.—Present company excepted, whe would be your choice ? Mr. D.—Chsrley Reed, by all means. He's the strongest maa in the dietrict. We would all hold up our hands for him, butit's no use; he won't hiva it. B.—Next to Bood, who is considered the most avalable ?

Caulfield for the purpore of hearing from bhim on the subject of the Congrossional canvass.

Reportor—I should like to obtain your idess concerning the coiug Congressional contest ia tho First District. Who are to be the nominces ? Bir, A.—Tuat is & question not easily auswerod Just now, though it appears cortain that the lto- publicans will malo s straight uomination, and that the Opposition will pat upa strouz : mau aguinet.their ticket. . o NANE AXD PLATFORL R.—Under what name wil the Opposition or-- ganize this fell? . Mr. A.—They are likely to stick to Iast year's guccessrul - name, the People’s Party, though- tuey may coucluds to cald it tho Citizens' or Liberal Parsy. 2. —What will be their platform? Mr. A.—That'’s enotbor bard conundrum. I believe, however, that the platform will exmbody fhe doctrine of hard movey; u‘or‘ of pot that a distinctly, » deoiaration Congress Gught 50 stop finkering @ the curcency quéstion ‘for a yesr or twe o coms, 80 as to give financial metters & ebance to be- come settlod once more, aud do away with the present fosling of uncertainty. Then, too, the DPlotform should, and probubly will, declaro agninst tho contintancs of corruption io national legislution; sgainst salary-grabbers, Iaud grants, eubsidics, etc. If the - Be- publicans steal out thunder, wo can juctly ®=ay that thoy intend making bat one use of it— to pmt it in & platform, where, like s0 many Re-’ publican planks, it will nover be heard of again afterulestion, . . .. .. 3 = e AVATLABLE MAN, R.—It is noderetood that the Republicans of tlie First District are considerably at & loes for the rignt kind of a candidate ? Mr. A.—8So I believo. There is no lack of can=~ didatcs, but the trouble with them’ secms to be to find ono who will ruu aud stand any chauce of An election against & strong man oa the other side. The snple-hoarted old geotloman roally belicves that his npamo will be a tower of strength; whercas the fact is, and nobody knows it betler fhad his own party mogagers, that ho bas o following to spesk of, and his only quali- fication for the is_thasof a.reapoctabuity. No oue accuses tho old gootloman of great ca- pacity. Charloy Heed shrawdly guesees that the presont is not a zood time for him to coms for- ‘ward, and, though ho would bs a stroag man on any Gongressional ticket, ne has flatly refused. torun. Thoy say Josh Xnickerbocker also posi- tively declines, but I don't belevo it; he wonid be mighty glad of the nominatiou, but . would, stand & poor. chance for clection agninst, & good man. He has aspirations, but ho_don’t want to got beaten.’ Arthur Dixon, on the other hand, is suxious to bo known a8 a candidato, and calculates thas to e mentioned in that connection ' will do hum good. Very likely it will.- T hope so, for e hasn’t the ghost of a show for the nomination. Noither has Jim Root nor Gassctte, though Gas- sctte played a trump cord when he suffered the damp horrors of tlat tank at tho Michigan Ave- nuo Baptist Church. But it .wont win; the party won't stand it, Really, the Repablicaua of the First District are in a bad way for a can- didate. = TIE OPFOSITION. R.—Is the Opposition more fortunate in pos- seesing good materal to clioose from ? Ir. A.—Thoy are much beticr off, and thoy kmovw it, and propose to take advantage of the fact by making the best possible selection. They have alrcady hit upon & man who could carry the district beyond a doubt. . R.—You refer.to Mr. Caulfield ? Mr. A.—Correct. He is, a0 far as I kmow, the almost unanimous choice of the Opposition, and many prominent Republicans have exprossed & desico that he sbould accept the nomination. He would undoubtedly poll a large Republican vote. R.—Has Mr. Cauldeld consented to become s » candidate ? Mr. A.—He has not signified his intention either way. I know he is relactant to leave his lorge and Incrative Iaw-practico, and will make no offort whatever to secure the nomination. If e were earnestly and unanimously pressed by the people of the First District, I think he could be induced to sccept. though this is only my opinion. That he does not want to cater poli- tics a6 & candidate for ofiice is certain, and if ho contented at all it would only be through a gense of duty. GAULFIELD'S VIEWS. R.—What are_Mr. Caulfield's financial qnestion ? Mr. A.—1I can’t say what his views are inde- tail, but I know him to be & strong auti-intla- tionist, nud I think he would advocate a policy of masterly inzctivity in currency legislation— let 1t zlone for the present. = R.—In cace Mr. Caulfield should decline the nomination who would be the mext likeliost man? ¢ Mr. A—T hope he will not decline; butif bo ghould we should not have to look far foran- other very excellent man. I mean Thomas Hoyne. He wonld ropresent tho interests of the ‘Fist, District in Congross_with credit and dis- tinction to himsclf, and with great satisf3ction to the people. He would make = strong run, thongh not quite so etrong as Caulfield in my judgment. 81l ho would beat Rice, suro. THE CHANCES." R.—Yon socsk confidently of defeating the Republican nomiace in the First District, while mony Republicans with whom I have conversed secm to bo equally confident tho ather way. Mr. A—Thoy seem to bo confident, but they are not, Thoy moro than suspect_that tne Rs- publican organization Lins lost much of its former prestige and power in Chicago, and the prospect of defoat makes them anxious about & candidate. Their solicitude will avail them nothing. They can's find & man in the First District (who wil accept the nomination) who can saccecd against The Opposition nominoo if dus caro ia takea 03 our side. Foks R—Do you regard the situation as equally promising iu tho other tv0 dis! 1ct8 ? : Mr. A—I icok to sco Washington Hexing beat Charley Farwell in the ‘Third, in spite of all Vb6 money that Parwell can spend, and wo haya seen that he is mot stingy of bis greeabacks B eeen an eloction depends oo tho expenditure.
