by him to the Treasurer Of the ve=ks where

The full sandhcdsim Of the New York Asso-
c'ated Press assured the Western Press C":n-
ft'ec, few days as,', that the New York
i'1pcrs paid s<ren.teafhs Of the cost OF fcollect-
my The news known as the Associated Press
patches, and the outside papers, includ-
lnr the East, West, South and Pacific States,
"n'y fhrfs-ftnfhs. The New York Tribune now
informs us that the Western Press paid one
'!alf. This is getting nearer the truth, but
is still long way from it.
The New York Tribune says that the news
Which costs us seventy dollars per week, cost:
them five hundred dollars I.er week. The IN.
truth IN this assertion consists in the sup.
preston OF the TACT that the ncws heretofore
furnished 10 the Chicago TKlnrSE and other
Western papers By the New York Associa,
tion Ias not been neJlth Of the Associated
Press reports received and published By Tic
New York papers.
The press report from Washington alone
10 the New York morning papers during the
sessions Of Congress, will average nearly q
page each aay-some days two or more pages
| rarely as little as half a page. But Of thi:
long despatch averaging pcrhaps l0,oI
words per day, there WAS sent to the Wes. err
press nanglcd driblet, or barren synorsi:
Of half a column per day. And this nIi>cr.
bic apology for a despatch C instituted
tho New York Associated lsrs,

sGld the skim milk to the Western papers
The same practice prevailed in respect o
all other news Of importance, obtained b,
that Association. The New York paper
would take full reports for themselves, au'
send the Western press but mere skeleton
But In the lace Of these notorious facts; tn
New York Tribune has the hardlhood 10 e.,
"that the ne.rs which costs the Chicag'

hut think 1t of consequence, as an agita-
tion las been initiated, that the exact truth
should be made known. II any are incrcdu-
lous as to my statements In this regard, 1t Is
only necessary to consult any competent
telegraph authority to have them verified.
There Is contract with the Western
Union Telegraph Company for tho trans-
mission Of two thousand words per day, Of
news from Buffalo westward, over the coun-
try west Of Cleveland aud Pittsburgh, aud
including Wheeling and Louisville. This
contract, it should be remarked. is not with
the New York Associated Press. We simply
took two thousand words per day at Buffalo
Of The dispatches they furnished the New
York State Prtss. The contract with the
| Telegraph Company We left uudisturhcd
and the words to be sent VIC took from Mr.,
Craie instead Of the New York Association
| Under the contract for the transmissiou o
the midnight report to certain Western
towns of the larger class, there was author.
| ity to increase the quantity taken from hf
teen hundred to two thousand words, at
| rropoltionatc increase Of cost; and We or
dcrcd the I've hundred words to be added
As to contracts with the New Tcrk Assoeia
ted frcss that are binding, that organization
refuses its news instantly to all papers thai
take CraIg's dispatches, and we suppose .he
papers have the SAME right to refuse to take
its news because the taking is coupled Will
such arbitrary regulations Besides, the con
nection between the New York Associated
Press and the Western Associated Press wat
formally dissolved, both parties eonsentlne
to 1t. and the pretended expulsion of two
papers Of the Western Association was {
foolish aftcrthought.
There is but one regular report sent Wcs
from Buffalo, aud that Is prepared by Mr.
Craig. The telegraph managers recognize
the TACT and act upon 1t, and Will charge the
| papers that take Simonton's dispatches fo1
them at the usual special rites, and II the,
do not pay:tor these dispatches the New
York Associated Press must do so. The cost
Of Simonton's dispatches to scattering pa
pcrs In the West that may take them will be-
believe, nearly ten timcs that Of the regu,
lar report.

and repetition Of dispatches so much com.
