Soon after the raid on the Whisky King was
made. Mr.. M. A. Thompson, the editor OF the
Milwaukee sentinel, WAS turned out OF his
place, as he alleged, through the machinations
OF ex-senator Matt Carpenter, and a man named
Dotkin, formerly OF the Chicago Times, put IN
his place. MIR. Botkip was Carpenter man
and nothing else. Mo. Thompson published a
card explaining the cause OF his being turned
ont of his place on the Sentinel, in which this
sentence occurs: Matt II. Carpenter has
had more responsibility in these Whisky
frauds than is wholesome for any man who
ever expects favors again at the hands OF an
honest constituency"
For tins assertion Mr.. Carpenter promptly
commenced al action for SANDER against
Thompson. This OF course was sort OF tig-
urative shaking OF his fist at the eX-editor, and
a shouting in his ear, "now prove your blasted
SANDER" About this time the Chicago Tri-
bune published some facts tending to show
Carpenters completely IN the whisky frauds (;
whereupon Matt Ii. Carpenter wrote letter to
that Journa promising to put that concern
through course OF legal sprouts and learn it
! better manners than to expose HIM in that
manner. Ee would not resort to the " Poland
gag" but would beard the audacious " brat" on
his own door step, and give him such shaking
as would be a terror TO all other newspapers,
/ both great and small
The Detroit Post, which, hlethe milwaukee,
Sentinel, is the Organ of another ex-senator,
rushed 70 the aid of Carpenter and read the
Tribune furious lecture on its temerity, and
otherwise urged the great Matt H, to go ahead
and cuff the knowledge box of that concern to
peak.
Time rolled on, and evidence of Carpenters
completely thickened until there was no escape
for him. The libel business had become farce
and people laughed at it. No suit has beer
commenced against the Tribune and the one
against Thompson has been discontinued by
the valient Matt. The past year has been q
fruitful one in SANDER suits against newspaper
and particularly against those that have bad the
manhood and courage to publish exposures OF
corruption.
