A USEFUL FIGHT.
perusal

The fight that is going on in New
York between James Gordon Ben
nett and John Kelley is one upon
which the outside world will look
with perfect indifference. 1t is a
falling out between that class OF
men which results in honast men
getting their dues. And no matter
which is on top, the man at the bot
tom is getting only what he de-
serves, and the spectators may sing;
Flight dog. fight bear, @ -
There's no dog of mine there"
The democrats of New York and
of the country, charge Kelley with
defeating Hancock, about the only
good thing he has been charged with
for long time, except that of help
ing to elect Gov. Cornell last year
Of course they are very angry
about it, and love to see Kelley
abused. AS the Herald had beer
rather for Garfield at the close Of
the canvass, Mr.. Bennett felt thai
something was necessary to please
the democratic readers of his paper
He hit upon the popular desire
of exposing" Kelley. And il
must be admitted that he did with
