We have of. en- thought of having "sen-
sation column IN our paper. afl,-r tne mar
ner OF modern j .urnalisrn." and. in mis-
view. of ordssing from our old type tom
ders su'tabis supply ot large aud attrsc-
i've capital letters with which to display
the head l,n-s hat give such appea ance
of enterprise 10 genuine ''seLss'ion JOUR
ns!" We have TO regret that this purpose
has not vet been carried info execution that
We might give 'ampie room and verge
enou sh" to the f,llowing very important
document, which has ju>t COM into our
exclusive possession in away we do not
feel particularly called to explain to cur
readers. Not wishing. however. TO arouse
any professional jesl"usies. we think it
proper to say that we have not procured it
by any process which shouli be Justly
deemed TO r,f .ct on the enterprise of our
more energetic and wide-awsse co empn
raries, as We neither brib ID its lucky hnder
nor did we rurloip it fro his hands.
S'ma apology perhaps is due for the
publication OF a letter which Is evidentl,
"confiientia,l.' and which is addressed t.
q party with whom our readers have never
before had the honor of an introduc ion.
In excavation Of such departure from
the habitudes Of this paper, We would be-
them 10 remember that we are e>saying
grand experiment in sensation journalism
and naturally begin with the most Sound
ing novelty. Yet II is proper TO add that
with some lingering fidelity TO our olden
traditions, (which we couli not who'll,
abandon in This debut We have thought
proper to omit from the letter come person
al illusions which might have been thong In
too serious tor joking.
