Mr.. Scripps is not informed in the matters
of which be assumes to give information, and
therefore falls into material errors. The as
| serted dlscovcry Of 3 .'consplracy" 10 this
| city, two years ago, Is. In the strtctcst sense
| Of The word, foolish. That which ". scf1pps
| terms conspiracy, was simple proposl
| tion that arrangements should be made al.
| lowing newspaper establishments with large
| resources and enterpristng dispositions, tc
| obtain more news by telegraph than the
prepristors Of papers WITH T. small tsyea1es
| spirit. could or wonsd pay for.
II Ms. ScrIpps could talk q few minute,
| with one having practical knowledge o
telegraphipg, he would ASCERTAIN thatlt cost
the telegraph COMPANY az much to drop des
patches at Detroit, Toledo and Dayton ns =
and Chicago; TINT there aze more Lines run
ming to the large than the small cities ant
US there is more commercial business done Il
the large than heamall towns, the telegraph
offices In the former contain the most com
provided with the best equipments; tha
it is much more convenient 70
the telegraph companies to turnisl
full reports Of news to large than t
email towns; and also, that matter can b
business is done aud ample provision Is natu
ratly made for it, than to those where. a
there Is but little done, few facilities are full
nished. Mr.. Scripps may possibly hare bear
