editor were known to be independent,
how much greater loss would the news
dispatches suffer which came out Of the
hand Of such partnership? The Western
Associated Press. IL IL now charged, has
made an alliance Of some sort with Mr..
Gould, and as il is seen that the partner
ship with the telegraph company would
hurt both sides, the new proposition is to
place the entire press service OF the coun-
try in the hands OF Joint committee OF
these two associations (the Western and
the New York City,, the New England, the
New York State, and other organizations,
TO be subject to this regulation, and any
news thu. provided at such prices as may
be cxacted. To secure the adoption OF
this plan by the New York Associated
Press great pressure, ii is said, has
been brought to bear upon the New
York Sun TO give vote in its
favor. Its editor in chief is n per-
sonal friend Of the leading manipu-
lators, and will go a far as he safely can to
favor their views. But will he vote to put
the whole press business OF the country
into such hands and subject il TO such IN
fluences This is a problem which time
alone can solve. Mr.. Dana has backbone
enough, il he rebels against such Dictator
ship, to stand for the right: and il his pa
per has not been sold out, we believe that
they who count upon his surrender reckon
without their host. II the Sun votes for
such an arrangement the public may draw
their own conclusions rs to the ownership
Of the establishment OF which he has 80
long been the presiding genius.
The extracts from the Sun OF the ODD, 10
which the Times editorially refers, are
published under the caption, Mr.. Dana
Evidently not q Gould Man" The first
Of these is as follows: "Judge Folgcr Is
undoubtedly a candidate who is most
agreeable TO that restless, grasping mil
lonaire Mr.. Jay Gould. Mr.. Gould
wished that Cornell should be beaten and
that FOlger should be chosen, and the Con-
vcntion has gratifed him. Mr.. GOuld's
favOrite j. thus put at the head Of the Re-
publcfn party in New York. Mr.. Gould
is becoming a very formidable figure in
American affairs. With his many mil
lions and his ever fruitful cunning he is
now seen ut the front in politics a. well as
in finance. To large portion Of our citi-
zens this fact is exceedingly revolving,
and to none is it more so than
to the class Of Republicans that we
are considering. The fact is greatly
to their credit, and we add that
they are in earnest. and we believe they
are immoyable in their conviction. They
do not wish to be ruled by Mr.. Jay Gould.
They do not wish him TO have his select
Governor for New York. They will not
vote as he dictates, nor in any way shape
their political action TO aggrandize the
wealth and importance OF this graSping
I l., Hat, f.rf roo
sons we conclude that very large pro-
portion OF the Republicans Of this state
will not vote for Judge FoIger, and we
honor them for it. This il new era in
our politics, and its novelties are still far
from being exhausted"
The following is the second extract:
''Thcre seem TO be new political parties,
after all. one party consists OF Jay Gould
and men he owns: the other party consists
OF men who prefer TO own themselves
These men will all vote against Folgcr.
They do not mean to have their politics
provided for them by Mr.. Gould. They
do not live for the purpose OF swelling ii-
stOck-jobbing greatness
And thi, j. the third " \ Stock-Spccu-
lator may @ot very rich; he may own rail-
roads. buy some newspapers, andrun some
political conventions. but he cannot rum

govern the country. Mr.. JAY Gould and
