THE TRIBUNE ON THE TILToN FULTON CASE.
The Tribune of tomorrow says editorially:
when Rev J. D. Fulton next breaches ser
mon on the Christian law Of libel he should
take for his text Let not him that falleth on
his armor boast as be that taketh it off" Mr.
Fulton was very anxious to enter upon libel
suit, but he does not evnce SO hearty an ankle
ty as we should be glad to chronicle for its
prosecution. Mr.. Tilton on the contrary seems
to thrive on being sued and promises to prove
all he has said and begs that the suit may be
brought to a speedy trial. Fulton should
either have entered upon it more modestly or
continued it more bravely. As it stands sim.
pie. minded people suspect that he quits be-
cause he thinks it safer than going on.''
