New fonK, Ntarcl, 8.-The imputlcnco Of the
New York Herald passes all understanding. II
II cannot make sensation, IL Is nothing toath
TO steal enc. There is ITO reason why II should
do this, for It has fair sllnro OF enterprise, aud
Is fully eornpctcnt to hold lta own with its
ncighbors in tho matter Of nows-gathcring. But
1t ID aa tnean au1 churlIsll In tho matter OF
twnrtl'ng credit for enterprise or SUCCESS to ts
rivals IA Gull be. It is part Of tic great game
Of bluff which the Herald Is constantly playing.
In tho matterof "tha blue-glass ectsatiou'' 1t,
thls morning, attempts to steal credit which be-
longs to TIE CHICAGO Tribune, and am not
willing to submit to IL without protest In tho
interest or 1alr play and common lcccncy.
THE "nERALp'sn LAncENr,
In mn article OYER column long, printed this
morning, and headed "fuc Gfase,'' which IL
also illustrated by characteristic Herald "war-
map' Of u bluc-glass window, this laEccnious
journal says:
The interesting srecutatons Of Gen. Plcaaonton,
Of tho Herald about year since, seotn 10 iayo
ssss as hs fGr eot si,
one q the grcatcst political sensations ho country
las evur experienced.
Not only does thu Herald IN this paragraph at-
tempt to steal credit which belongs to THE
TRIBUNE, but sets up q claim for itsclf which
has no foundation to rest upon. Tho fact Is
that whcn Gcn. rlcasontDn's book was printed,
