The Nj ortgage

On the TIMES which seemed to give
so much concern to our neighbor last
week was satisfied on Saturday. We
have clear title now, not only, as
we said before, for the campaign
Of 1880, but forever. Bolivcr
now has no more claim upon this
PAPER than Conkling or Blaine. This
settles the matter, and we hope here
after to hear no more insinuations ON
this score. There is no longer any
mortgage over The Times.
