BRICK POMEROY THE TRUE EXPO
NENT OF MODERN DEMOCRACY.

None of his incisive thrusts at the
Democratic party ever cut more effect
lively than the following mastery effort
of Horace Greeley's. The World is
herein simply made the scapegoat OF
that Copperheadism of which it is the
fiippant advocate. Under the date of
Oct. goth, the Tribune says
The valiant Brick Pomeroy came into the
field on Saturday morning as the direct COM
petitor of the New York World. This is
contest in which we, of course, have no pes
sible interest, but the evident desire on the
part of the World to ignore the eminent and
staIwart champion of the West, appeals to
our sense of fair play, and we do not choose
that the enterprising and gifted editor of
the Democrat should have cold and heart
less welcome at his entrance into the frater-
nifty of the morning press. So far as build
ing up the Democrat is concerned, Mr..
Pomeroy has a good deal of work before |
him. So far as taking the place of the
World is concerned, We do not think that he
will find much difficulty. The World has
always been one of those driftless, purpose
less enterprises which represent the same
position in journalism that fancy SO ks y
do in Wall street. The worst kind of fancy
stocks are those fancy stock newspapers, es-
pecially in the respect that they never at
tach to their management any direct, earn
est, thoroughgoing writers. The World has
passed from the evangelical influences of
its founders to the kitchen of the Manhat-
tan Club. Started in a spirit Of piety, the
only spirit that now moves it is that which
comes from Mr. Barlow's champagne. The
earnest men who once sought to reform the
nation through its columns, have given
place to jaunty Broadway loungers, who {
never had any party, possess no principles,
would Just soon write on one side as the
other, whose editorials are merely so many {
exercises in rhetoric, and who care little for /
influence and power in circulation, so long
as the larder of the Manhattan Club is filled
with good dishes, and the wine cellar con- ,
tains good champagne. This is the World ,
in detail. As a newspaper it is merely one
OF Mr.. Barlow's speculations. and we do
not think he has any fancy stock " on his
list that has cost him more trouble and q
brought him less comfort. t
From the spectacle of this bl1se, worn
out, insincere journal it is refreshing to turn
o the columns of Mr.. Pomeroy's newspaper, q
he Democrat. The World draws inspira-
ion from the Manhattan Club Mr.. Pome- Il
nv represents the lusty Democracy Of o
later street. He knows perfectly well that !,
while few Democrats are found among the 4
gentlemen of New York, every man in t
he city who is not gentleman will vote
or Seymour ard Blair. He sees men gain -
wealth by patronizing these Democratic in e
luences, by keeping dance houses, and rat "
'its, and sailors boarding houses, opening
enement dwelling houses, exhibiting prize |:
shts, and indulging in cock fighting. o.
Above all, he sees a Democrat like Mr.. =
ohm Allen not only full of renown, but in Is
ossession of large sums of money. He {;
ees in Fernando Wood politician who de-
:berately M de himself the representative Il
+ the vice of New York, and upon its sup g,
OFT rising to great notoriety and power.
he Democrat is the newspaper champion III
+ this element. Brick is In his appropri- ST
re sphere, because the men whom he seeks
D represent are the men who constitute the Id
cal Democratic party. IN
And now for an open held and fair fight,
Water street against Fifth avenue. John :"
liens dance house against the Manhattan al
Tub. whisky against Heidsick, the Wicked
st Editor in the country against the weak LIZ
It one, courage against timidity on one
de puny Greek of the lower Empire, %
nd upon the other a lusty citizen of Rome. -
ye prophecy that victory will descend npon CT
lie banners Of Pomeroy and with his tri- 70
nph we shall have a Democratic party
'acticing what it breaches, and no more tn
the facilitating influences of the World, CO.
ammany Hall, and the Manhattan Club. o.
