correspondence Of the Madlsouian.
Sr. Locls, July l2,h, lsa3.

Globe TO the charges Of the Reporter and your
correspondents, that The proprletors OF The
Globe have established branch Globe IN this
city. They appear TO be very Innocent oil the
whole matter, and wish TO convey the impress
sion that the $1,000 draft, paid TO Lynde hi
Iiolt, was merely 50 much money lent 10 reia-
tive 10 commence business with but, we mere
who know what efforts were made last winter
with the Legs aiure by Mr.. Montgomery Blair,
to obtain contributions TO put The STANDARD IN
motion, about the time il was ascerIained That
Col. Benroo's nephew, Col. Brant, would not
risk his money in the enterprise, as had been
first agreed upon, also know that Mr.. kives
has not commenced payiog the drafts OF his
brother in.law without The understanding that
more are TO be paid as occasion shall require.
The branch has commenced The same dicaIo'
rial course that The Globe pursues, runs into The
same ubominable radicalisms, ard has not only
attemptedto re ad the veteran Tenn out OF the
party, but pronounces "ryler men no Demo.
Gratis - and struts and swaggeIs as though II
| thought The Democratic patty was strong
enough ihout Tyier men or any other men,
but real Simon Pure Benton-Van Buren, men,
| to carry the Presidential election in 1914.
| What delnsion They have doubtless forgot
ten the nnequailed defeat they encountered
with their favoriie chief in 1910.
| If the whole gang connected With The Globe
and Benton did net intend to enlist under the
banner Of Mr.. Clay in 1874, they would use a
l,tle better manners towards the several dlvi-
sions Of the Democratic party.
We shall see what their rude,ess will avail
them in the end.
Mr.. Riyes boasts that he is abl, TO set up as
many Democratic papers as he phases, and VIII
set up another in Missouri if necessary, with
out asking Col Penn, or any one else. We
think The Standard will prove a, much as the
money lovers Of the Globe will lesre TO sup
port. lis friends tried hard at tie Democratic
Association to get its ability aid Democracy
endorsed in The same resolulonthat so noby
sustained Col. Penn, but the efltrt was Kissed
down with scorn and contempt.
Blair and Rves made foItun, by rlunder
| ing the public, under MIR. Van Buren,, which is
the secret of their present devo,ich to the cause
Of that gentleman; and they nov screw them
selves into the belief that they nay again be-
come printers TO Congress, and, ty possibility
printers 10 the next ADMINISTRATIVE. We shall
see
Soon after the Inauguration Of General Har
rison, in lS4l, il was understood At Washington
that the Globe would soon b, discontinued
Some OF Mr.. Van Buren's leading friends pro
tested against such course, say ing TO its pub
fishers that, as they had amasse fortune un
der Mr.. Van BureD's Administration, it was
their duty to expend something in smoothing
the road Of his extraordinary defat; whereupor
il was agreed by Blair & Rives that they woulc
expend to the amount of $50 900 in carrying OF
III. C,ioha- .-L -E----r - h--ei,s" - '""
point, il was 10 be discontinued, unless the De
mocralic party would rally 10 its support.
After Tie We ocs Of President Tyler the De
mocraiic patty again came into the ascendency
and though il has not done much fol the sup
port of the Globe, It publishers have cided L
continue its publication, in the hope Of fas'en
ing themselves again upon the Democratic pr
tya, its organ at Washington.
1t was saying with General Harr on, tina
a man who suddenly made himself rich in In,
public service ought 10 be required TO show il
what manner his sudd,n fortune was made
whether by honesty, fraud, or pecuaton. How
would this wholesome rule work upon the chast
ard morbidiy conscientious propietors of tb
G!obe2 Thick you they would have money t.
lend to ex-Presidents, and sir thousand dollar
TO lay down for building 10, in ST. Louis for
son, holding Office under Mr.. Tyler, and rlep,,
to spare 10 establish the " Standard" "a orDe
moe acy in Missouri, and as many more branch
es as they may think proper, during the contes
for the next Presidency
From The Missouri Reporter.
THE BRANCH GLOBE.
MIR. Riyes, one Of the proprietors of the Globe
has published a communicst ion in the Maids nh N
filling nearly three columns Of that paper. We shall
not comment on his erude criticism on the editorial
Of the Madisoniap, the delicate account the epistl
contains of his courtship and marriage or the pecu
liar manner in which the boast Is made by Mr. Rives
that he has realized competent, fortune since 1888
We are glad Mr.. Rwes Is satisfied with his scquisi
ons and do not doubt he will hereafter have rcs sol
10 think he has been fortunate
The recreaDt editor Of the Standard has repeated
ly denied that the draft on which money was raise,
to start that print, drawn by LyDde Elliott on thu
Globe concern, or paid by IT. IL appears by tb
verbose article Of Mr.. Rivcs, that the draft wa
drawn on that iDdvidua--no doubt for special rea
sons-and paid by the following check:
Il WAsHiseros, 10Th June, lSl3
No. 1913. Bank Of the Metropolis.
Pay Lynde Ellioirs ar.fs John G. Kiycs
| twelve hundred dollars.
Dolls 1900. BLAIR e. RIVESu
We thus that the check Of Blair & Rive. mc
the draft drawn by Lrpdc Elliott This fasteu,
falsehood on the Standard--and its editor must sub
nit 10 the consequences.
Blu, Mr.. John G. Rves, having made large for
tune in aew years out Of the Congress printing saws
"If ] bought majority OF the Democratic part,
in great need Of another newspaper in ST. Louis o,
elsewhere would establish II without asking ne r
mission Of either you or Mr. Penn or any body else

rather too much 80. But MIR. Rives may be s,ved
