The Chicago Republican in speaking Of the
editors of New York City says:
The largest OF New York editors, in point O
size, is James Gordon Bennett, while the smalles
is II enry ]. Raymond. Both of these men have
been Id editors, and yet, quite strangely, tn,
latter has never met the touch of personal vic
lence, while the former has been punished often
and severely. Mr.. Raymond exhibits marveou:
contrast between muscle and intellect. His in
dus;ry for quarter of century past is incredible
and he has the reputation of being the hardest
worker in New Yo!k. In this way, he has built
up The Times.
Erastus Brooks, of the Express, is of tall
nervous frame, indicating no ordinary degree o
power. ard yet with all his ability, he has failed
to build up leading paper.
As for Horace Greeley, almost everybody know:
how he looks, and we need only add that he dress
es much better than in former days, and the "a
nous white coat has retired from service We
belve that the eccentricties OF this peculiar man
are entirely unaffected, and the idiosyncI ac&es
of his nature. Mr.. Greeley has changed but little
in twenty years, and wears remarkably well, con
si.lering the great amount of work he turns of
daily. When We first saw Mr.. Greeley, he wa.
tall, slender youth. with n peculiar freshness o.
corntenance, and beautiful simplicity playing
over his features. This was in 1889 when he was
struggling for foothold in the great metropolis
the marks of time, he has not put off the early
marks ofhis character.
His chief oppoaent, Thurow Weed is six feet
high, and well prOportioncd, albeit We do no
admire his style of cOuntcnancc. We ale glaC
that those two gentlemen united in the
support of the party to which they belong.
We have thus referred to tho veterans of th,
daily press, and may remark that during twenty
years or more they have stood at their post oil

mcntioncdf
Among the editoriol corps OF New York tht
public interest singles out one an object OF chic
curiosity: This is Bennett. There is perhaps al
excuse to be found for this, in the fact that no
public man has said sc much about himself as he
He has even advertised his own personal uslines:
and that too, in the most indelicate manner. We
might quote from his own columns such references
od museum, but we forbear. Mr.. Bennett is sci
dom seen, and while other editors are open to thu
public, his method for years has been secusion
We think this habit grew out ofa sense of danger
from the bitterness Of his personal attacks, and ;ht
frequent retaliation which followed. Mr.. Bennett,
is understood to make claim on public smypa
thy; he has wared upon society and expects &c
receive whatever may come. IL wealth be the
great end in life he has succeeded, since hi:
establishment is estimated at two millions; but
We doubt If this affords the expected satisfaction
In early days Mr.. Bennett was tall, slender and
exceedingly awkward. He has since become very
stout. ard is the largest stoutest and richest ofthe
New York editors. He is descended from an ole
Scotch Roman Catholic family. educated fol
the priesthood, and d'lhough lifelong scoffer OF
sacred things, still clings TO his early faith. OF
the religious preferences of the other edroria
gentlemen referred to we may add that Mr.
Greeley is Universalst, and Mr.. Raymond q
Prcsby byterian. OF the religious press Mr.. Prime
Of the Observer, is large, well built man, with
quiet and unoste1tations manners. This cores
ponds with the character of the sheet he issues
which is pleasant readable, and useful paper
Theodore Tilton, of TIE Independent, is one O
the youngest of the fraternity, and may expec
something of compliment as 10 personal appear

religious journals is highly literary in its character
and boasts in its editor a poet of ordinar,
ability. Bryant of The Evening Postis, all know
the patriarch of the city PRESS be is venerable il

and bears the stamp of natures greatness. Hi
associate and son -in-law, Parke Goodwin, is abou
