tracted attention by his bitter attacks
on certain members. Corruption
fiourished in those days. The

Hudson river was in progress, and large
sums of money, II was generally under

ton, and the victory of Tweed after an
enormous expenditure of money, occur
red in the winter of 1S69'70. Sateldo
was always credited by those who were
best acquainted with him with having
received large sums OF money at these
legislative sessions. Ii was currently
reported that there came into his hands
o large package of money which was
left in room for a member of the legis-
lature who intended to take the bFibe

with the Sun ceased. Later he started
in this city weekly publication known
as the Free Lance. 1t was chiefly
noticeable for its bitter at

President Grant special treasury
agent, and for time he was stationed at
Key West, Florida Later he was again
sent 10 Albany as the correspondent of
the Evening Telegram, of this city His
career in that capacity was very short

under William G. Murtagh, the identi-
cal position since filed by Mr. Barton.
His management was noteworthy for
fierce attacks upon the gamblers of
Washington, which were kept up
through the local columns of the Repub'
lican for several weeks. He was next
employed as the Washington cores
pendent of the Baltimore American,
the Indianapolis Journal, the San
Francisco Chronicle and other pa
pers. His entire journalistic ca
reer was marked by bitter Fer
sonal attacks. 1t occasioned a good
deal of surprise during his Albany ca
reer that he was not killed. for some of
those whom be attacked were known as
desperate men. He was q favorite of
Tweed and Sweeney, however, and this
probably saved him. His appointment
as clerk to the senate committee on rail-
roads was procured for him by Senator
Kellogg, with whom he has been in.
