The Baltimore American, an administra-

1t is somewhat significant to find that so
shrewd politician as the Hon. James
Brooks-One who is thoroughly conversant
WIFI the behind-the-scenes Of his party
believes that Greeley will be indorsed in
the baltimore convention, and that there
VIII be rupture in the party on that ae-
count. AS none of the prominent Demo
Gratis OF the south could hope to be placed
on the ticket, the tendency Of the Democ-
racy of that section to accept the Cincin-
matt nominations is not hindered nv anv
personal ambitions, but when we turn to
the North and think OF the party leaders
there who have aspirations of being eandi-
dates, il is easy to believe that their infiu.

cratic surrender. A bolt Of the Northern
Democracy and a renewal of the occur-
rences Of 1860, with the positions of the sec

| 1t is only within a few years that the
| value of successful newspapers has come
| to be generally understood and appreciated.
| Within q few months several sales have
| taken place which show this appreciation.
A part of the Toledo Blade sold at the rate
of $4,000; the Indianapolis journal at the
rate of $I80,000; the Cincinnati Times
brought .$l35,O00; the st. Louis Democrat
brought $456,000.
The New York Times and Tribune are
valued at over a million each, and the
Herald at three times that. The Washing
ton Star sold five years ago for 100000.
The Washington Chronicle, not then con
sidered paying institution, was sold 1.-THE
paper alone, without Sunday edition and
without job oficel for $25, 000 The Chicago
Tribune is worth a million. About a
month ago Governor Bross, who owns one
fourth Of it, was under the weather, and
was complaining to friend of his poverty.
Governor" said that friend" 'since
you are so poor, III take your in
terest in the Tribune and give you
$3.50, 900 for it." Governor Bross got
! better at once. Mr.. Fulton, of the Balti-
more american, said some time since that
his newspaper paid him better salary than
the President of the United States got; and
we do not doubt it. The Baltimore San is
also very valuable and profitable paper.
Mr.. Abel, the proprietor, is worth several
millions. Another of the most valuable
papers in the country is the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t pays Mr.. Childs at least $780,
900 year. The New York Herald is said
to pay profit of million annually.
Not only is the journalistic profession
growing in the way of legitimate business
enterprise, but it is coming to be the step
ping stone to political distinction and pre-
ferment-the latest illustration of which is
the nomination of a distinguished editor at
Cincinnati the other day for President of the
United States.
What is known as the 'tfourth estate " in
England bids fair soon to be the first estate
in this country, if it is not such already.

A special dispatch to the st. Louis Times
is as follows:


is as follows:
WASHINGTON, May I1.-Some Demo
Gratis have been sounding Greeley on
the subject of his remaining in the
field as candidate in case the Balti-
more convention should make another
nomination. He has intimated rather
plainly that unless he is Endorsed either by
the Baltimore or the Philadelphia conyen-
ton, he will draw out. He says it is not
time now for two opposition candidates to
Grant, and in that event there would be
little hope of defeating his reelection. This
has been considerably talked of in political
circles to-day, and the knowledge of it has
had considerable effect upon those Demo
Gratis who have not yet given a hearty in
dOrsement to Greeley. Should Greeley
positively refuse to run without the Balti-
more Endorsement, there is no doubt that
convention would see the utter uselessness
of putting up a candidate of its own.
Probably good many Liberals would vote
for a Democratic candidate, but the canvass
would resolve itself into a contest between
the Democracy and Grant, with no advan-
tages whatever on the side of the former.
