KIDNAPPING SA1s4aRs.--Sanders is irreprSesa-
Bile. He will kesprlfs name in the papers son
some pretext or-aasther-if not as a cancS&ate
for Congress, AFR g. peacemalxer, then aasSaa,
injured Northumberland Of picking Packet.
He will write siAthe testimony in the casa,bimr
self and eightssA, afaiavits, and finally pseve.
TO the satisfa xtion, Of all who don't kneww him
that Sandera aAs.thc only real honest lasHc in
the crowd uissre. tAe pocket was picke0h. His
last dodge k,okeep up the sensation is t.tacstory
Of an attenptstN kidnap him in Canaaa, He
has inventsdl this story from one enss to- the
other, and ssems to have completelyIinposed
upon the Canadians with it Itappearsatplausi-
BILE, because il was thought that the thing might
be tried ibr the twenty-five thousand dollars
that has; been offered for the fellowy bttt there
is not the least probability that the government
would bako or keep Sanders if Caught in that
way. The offer Of that money shsald be with

any parpose whatever, and the oaered twenty
five thousand dollars could not 10 discounted

CORRUPTION OF THE CRY Pnssa-It matters
not whether the heads of departments or the
heads of anything else boast Of having subsi-
died the Tribune or any other city paper. The
fact that they have been subsidized, that they
have been corrupted by pannicipal patronage
into the crime Of cloaking TIE wickedness Of,
city officials, is sufficiently We assers
that the Tribune is infuanoed by corrupt ma-
tives to aid and assist ths present city goves-
ment, whose completely with shark contracs0Ss
is proven by Comptroller Brennans erpok in
| the matter of contracts with gas monoLalies.
| On the question of municipal reform tlsa, Yri-
b,me and like concerns are tied up by this. off,
cial patronage. They dare not espeuse the.
cause of reform from the fear of the waildrawal
of this patronage, asd suffering the effect aris-
ing therefrom--g0ing out Of existsnoe like .
snuffed candle.
