The Eagie perceived" and now admits that The Eelo-
York Times and The brooklyn Eagle waged relentless
against the TammaDy Rug, with very little asals
ance from The NEW YORK TRIBUNE and with undis-
gused opposition from The NeT YORK World Chagrned,
as we believe with The World, by its bunder, through
which The NeC York Times obtained great advantage,
The TRIBUNE opened furious assault upon various
departments or BfOOkyns local kOHtInintut anu ti
dcayOred, We thought 10 impair uuJusty the mum,
cpal credit and standing OF this city inc furious
assailants who had the Of TIE TRBUsEs columns
did not know what they were talking about, ana me
Edge, in duty bound 10 do stood up Tor BroOk
ly against furious" assailants OF its municipal re-
putation. Their headlOng and virtuous indignation
may have been tempered by The Eagles exposure OF
the ignorant mistatemen IL attempted to modify this
vrtuous indignation" in no other way. The World
declares that THE TRIBUNE attempted 10 get square
with The Times by assang Brooklyn. We had no desire
to participate in this quarrel but were determined
that city should suffer by It, The editor OF The
EdOle has approached, directly or Indirectly any
connected with The NEW-IoRK TRIBUNE, or any
other Journal 10 urge him to Withhold anything ne
knew touching the conduct OF public men in this city.
II there be any wel-grounded charge OF mafeasance
against Of them, in possession Of The TRIBUNE we
trust it will disclose it. The World, will in courtesy
assume has sharpsighted reporters" attached to
IL THE TRIBUNE has. 1t IL " as dumb as
an oyster" touching tho Brooklyn Ring How
does it account for its own silence, If
alone in the ecretl The World surely count The
Neio- York TimeS-Grants organ and The Worlds most
Jealous cOlabOrer at this me Why The Times SILENT
Has it, too entered into an agreement with The Edgte
not to expose the Brooklyn Ring condition that The
Eagle viii support the Cincinnati n0mneef Does not
The World that its charges are at once ridiculous
and absurd The Eagle Is opposed TO ring combinations
everywhere II Is opposed To The Worlds old masters
Tammany Hail. IL Is opposed to its present retalners
the CusOm-hOuse aud military ring. We have only 70
say in this column that every charge made by me
World, of which The Eagle is alleged to have any know
edge, is fase-fase in insnuaOn, false in detail raise
I'm gross and 10 add that in opinion the publication
OF these sehoOds paid for by Grants official stipend
Iares. and Grants interest.
