THAT NEW CHICAGO PAPER.
Too Splendid fnr Anything
iNtlp Inrt Tribune, .N1rrh IN.


A report Was clrrent the other siay In Chicago
that new Democratic paper, Of tic out-nlni-
out variety, was about to be established In
that Western metropolis, with Mr.. Nfanton
Marble as editor.in-clici, Mr., Samuel J..
Tlilen, along with others, rs financial backcr,
unl Mr. rerrg II. Smith as President Of tho
stock corporation. On second thought, wo
have perhaps gDne too far in Saving that It
was rutnoted sslch PAPER WIS nbout to be ''cs.
tabl,shed." There was ru1nor that q Journal
such nj We have indtcatcd was about to bc
"started,'' and that, unter ordinary circun-
stances, is very different matter. The Dcnoc--
reading and writing; II tho ARK md shcchinaf
Letter, or something equally fine md a llttlo
frcshcr, were offered item IN daily portions
under the form Of fcaileton, or q continued
great a. deal of It. sill there Is aways certain
field for polit!cnl newspaper dnrlng 1'rcs-
Dental campaign, provided It Inns q barrel of
money In the back office; and. 4 n Tildcn organ
question TINT It would be kent In operation nn-
til November, 1880. 1t Is tfsconra.tng TO earn
TINT S1r. Perry II. Smith, II :le does not fatty
deny VIC story, throws some doubt upon It.
He says that there has been talk about n new
Democratic paper, but the arrangements appcar
to be for the present suspended.
Tlds t. a great pity. ANYTHING from the pen
Of Mr. Mauton Marble would be read Just now
With general public interest lhe prospect Of
Notwithstanding really hiclt-toncd .nt,l
chunky,-of having him, 20 to npcak, always
with US, stimulating our civic virtue.
fircbeIi sc7cn nights In the week, Is 30 aluring
tf,at for olir part wo cannot help believing in 1t.
Mr.. Marble bus been SO precious Il boon to the
profession TINT the profession canoot a1fdrtl to
lose him. Tic has enriched tho political yoeah,1-
etrectlye words that nobody else ind thought
Of. lie has taught thu mere ncws-
paper writer to pFacttce sort OF sit1lfnatcd
i,Mi tercmnnious morality which has generally
use in The dissemination Of this loftv goodness
simple e1oQucuce tlut goes stsatght to fhe
heart. NJ. Marble at tle head ot new
thc best United states documents, would IN
vIgorate tho whole nation:
Nor Is the selection of Mr. Perry II. Smith to
preside over tho associated stock!o!dcfs Of the
tic choice Of Mr. Marblo ior ti,c afsi pfare OIL
the editorial staif. Air. Perry sn!tl, Is gifted
as manager of persons nnd thi,,ss. When
the yote-broiiers and other ngcntB IN Florida
were at losssrheaas, Wooltey tle'nAntttng tl,at
SSs pIsasfis' assss1s t It " wooiisy ifiy' was ''!
nuisance md lmpcdinent, ,hc Two bidding
Was sas Wss 10 r f Pers It. smt nj % Ds
known as "Pcruso socnian." that m exaIosla-
tion waB sent from New Yorle to stop thu. aunr-
rel Now. II Mr.. MaDtOn Marble has a lailt-
which We 10 not a!1irln-It ID TINT be Is Inclined,
like Other great Mnl gootl nlen. 10 bs nuw and
then n little bumpttous; and. as iIc would
naturally, In the new organ, be brought
Into frequent intercourse with ti'e same gentle-
n,cn WllU were associated with him III Florlda,
and OF course with Cot. Pclton besides, 1t Is
likely that lilo old cxaccrbattons would break
out anew, mil That fresh disputes IS 10 tie
causes Of tlc failure OF 1871 would disturb t1la
harmony OF thu partnership. The usrs III Per-
use Soclnian in such rcgrettabic stats of aGlIrs
are Obvious. Whenever Mr.. Marble Is rufllcd,
rerusc Socinian will apply himself al a sort Ut
moral smoothing lrou.
We do not observe that my ona has yet been
nanled Tor thu post Of publisher ns,tl financial
manager Of thu nuw paper: but the omission is
accounted far br The facs that there Is prnlpahly
only ono man nltvc who untcs alt thr tlua1itirl-
ttons for that poa., and ho Is no clearly nom.
tnuteu By fFoyldunce that It would almost bo
slpcTl1uous to SAP anything 1u0ru about him.
1t Is ngctllces tu Ald that VIC refer to
Mr.. JOHN F. Coyle. 4 natural elf for spcnlnE
ANYTHING Inns been cultivated IN llts rase by loDg
mud varted practice, while IN tho direction uf \
newspaper conntlllg-rOoM l,0 rn{nys al1 cxpGr!-
cucc absolutely uniqHc. We haVa NJ doubt
tl.at under his able management tho AssturY Ut
the finances Of the new organ will bo wholly I'M.
rrecedentG1 except by tbs cirH,ls stury OF tAG
