The Gale in Chicago.

SMALL AND INADEQUATE SAMPLES OF THE sPUT-
TER IT THREW Mr.. MEpnL INTO.
From The Chicago Trbure.l
The Journal insists that her cognomen is Mary
Abby Dodge, and that she is cousin OF Mrs.
Blame, and not of Jim. As the journal Is the
oldest iphabant hereabouts 1t may remember;
but it is certain that her name ever since the ITto-
une was born has been "Gail Hamilton"
From the Chicago Tribune
After reading Gail Hamilton's last screech one
might well ask '1anf9ne dn'mis ee'esfiow
iraef"
from the Chicago Tribune.
The thinnest dodge for a ststesman-Msry Alb
by Dodge.
From the Chicago Tribune.l
"The latest thing in petticoats-Jim Blaine.
From the Chicago Tribune.
1.-THE Tribune is still unfortunate. 1t is not
Miss Abigail Dodge, but Mary Abby Dodge and
a cousin of Mrs. Blaine that the Tribune is wag-
ing such manly battle with" Evening Journal.
We plead in extennation OF The error that she
has been known so long as &c all Hamilton that
the memory Of man runneth not to the contrary
HOW MR.. MEbLLs NEIGHBoRs ENJOY 1T.
From The Chicago Evening Journal
The Tribune is going to extremes in its war
with Gail Hamilton. 1t calls her "old, but has
not yet pronounced her "ugy." SO there Is
ground for compromise yet left.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Tie Chicago Tribune attacks Gail Hamilton for
her defense of Blaine, and devotes three or four
articles 10 her. but it begs the question at issue
Gail asserts that the Tribune knowingly lied when
he wrote the paragraph she quoted about Blaine.
This is the point to be decided, then. and to sim
plify matters we ask the editor of that paper TO
state frankly whether her charge Is true or false.
II it is true the editor deserves all Gail has said
Of him. Ii it is not, he can say easily. Speak

lie when you wrote that paragraph about James
G.. Blaine
From the Spring. field (Ill.) Journal.
The Chicago Tribune devotes a column and
half to Gail Hamilton, and all because that la
dy announced in q recent article that the fourth
portrait" she proposed 10 have in her "Rosues
gallery" was the Chicago Tribune. Possibly
"Gal" would have Jared better had she given the
Tribune the first place. "Alas that such anger
should dwell in celestial minds"
The Chicago Tribune met fierce Gail the
other day, and is now trying to repair damages.
From the Pittsburg Commercially
Medill is doing some extremely lively dancing
to the music that Gail Hamilton Is furnishing just
now. He devotes = column Of deprecatory edto
rial to explain that he dIdnt exactly mean it, and
hence didn't deserve quite so severe q fly blister
as Gail put or him. He simply helped keep
Blaine out Of the Presidential nomination for his
own good. The only consolation be can find in
his trbulstion is that others will probably get
scathing yet. The Chicago Tribune was quick to
defend sam Bowles when Gail Hamilton was af-
ter him. Possibly q reason for it may be found
in the fact that the Tribune did not know how
that brilliant lady would be after it. At all
events she is there, and the blow is very severe.
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.l
Murat Halstead, excitedly, to Gail Hamilton -
"H there don't shoot. never said anything.
