ship, to stand for the right, aud II his paper
has not been sold cut we believe that they
who count upon his surrender reckon with
out their host. II the Sun votes for such
an arrangement the public may draw their
own conclusions as to the ownership OF the
establishment Of which he has so long been
the presiding genius"
The extracts from the S,s's Of the 22d, to
which the Times editorially refers. are pub
lished under the caption, "Mr. Dana Evil
IDENTIFY Not Gould Man" The first Of the
series follows: "Judge Folger is undOubted-
lY candidate who is most agreeable to that
| restless and grasping millionaire, Mr.. Jay
Gould. Mr.. Geuld wished that Cornell
should be beaten and that Folger should be
chosen, and the convention has gratified
I him. Mr.. Gould's fsvorite is thus put at
the head of the Republican party in New
York Mr.. Gould is becoming very for
midable figure In American affairs, with his
many millions and his ever fruitful cunning.
He is now seen at the front in politics as
well as IN finance. To a large portion OF
our citizens. this fsctis exceedingly revolving,
aud 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 earnest, and we believe
they are immoYsble In their convictions.
They do not wish to be ruled
by Mr.. Jay Gould. They do not
wish to nave him select the Governor
for New York. They will not vote as he
dictates, nor in any way shape their politi-
cal action to aggrandizs the wealth and i'm
portance of this grasping and insatiate
speculstOr. For these reasons we conclude
that very large proportion OF the Republi-
cans Of this State will not vote for Judge
Folger, and we honor them for 1t. This is a
new era in our politics, and its novelties are
still far from hafno exhausted ~
The following is the second extract:
''There seems to be new political parties
after all. One party consists of Jay Gould
and the men he OWNS. The other party
consists Of the men who prefer to own
themselves. These men will all vote against
politics provided them by Mr.. Gould. They
do not live for the purpose Of swelling his
stock-jobbing greatness"
And this is the third extract: "A stock
Spectator may get very rich; he may own
railroads, buy some newspapers and run some
political conventions but he cannot own
the whole body Of voters-he cannot govern
the country. Mr.. Jay Gould and his candi-
date, Judge Folger, will have to step down
and out"
The San this morning publishes number
of paragraphs in tone similar to the above,
ana so far as It's connection with the Asso-
cisted Press is concerned It pursues the even
tenor Of its way, making no allusion what
ever to discord in the household.
The Mail and Express, in an editorial arti-
Gle referring to the editorials in the Herald
and Times this morning on the relations of
the press and telegraph company, says:
"We only propose to speak definitely and
suthoritatively for the Mail and Express.
II the proprietor of the Herald were In
this city we could and should satisfy
him IN five minutes that its insinuations
or inference that Mr.. Gould or any other
man, or set OF men, outside of the proprie-
tOrship of the Mail and Express has or have
any sort OF control over its course or poll
cy Is absolutely false. AS Mr.. Bennett is not
here we will state for his information and
for that Of the public that the statements,
differences and insinuations in his paper this
morning to that effect are collectively and
In detail absolutely false. The Mail and
EzpresS is as freetO oppose MIR. Gould In the
Associated Press as the Herald is
New YORK, September "a The San
this, morning says, edtorially, in re.
gard to tn relations of the Associated
Press to Jay Gould, as follows: ga number
OF our partners in the Associated Press have
most foolishly undertaken to discuss In
pubic the private proceedings of
that body. -Gcz-.o Of them do It
more sensiblY and judiciously than others.
but in this latter category we can hardly
include the Journal Of Commerce, whose
remarks we here ouote.ii 4sy-f.s 4
Il Thea follows the concluding paragraph OF
the article from the Journal Of C0naneyce
talegFaphed South last night The Ssm
then adds:
"We regret to say that these observa-
tions partake very strongly of the nature of
nonsense, in fact they incline to the luDau-
cal. There is Just and justifable hostilf-
ty towards the interference of Mr.. Jay
Gould with the press OF the country. That
gentleman has become proprietor of one
OF the:newspapers belonging to the Assocsa-
ted Press, while he holds control OF others
through enormous advances of money, which
are secured by pledge of its stock. At the
sa me time his friend and ally. Mr.. Cyrus
W. Field; is also owner of another of these
journals, and thus two spectators together
can dictate the action of three out Of the
seven newspapers which comprise the
hand, the Times, Herald and Jour
nal Of Commerce regard Mr.. Gould's
schemes and purposes with a natural and
creditable detestation, and in this feeling
we fully share, but we regret to say that
they do not seem to us to be In a state OF
mind TO resist his Vaccinations with sense
and efficiency. In fact the course that they
are inclined to pursue is, in our Judgment,
g course whose result can only be favorable
to Gould's designs.
"This does not seem to us the proper
place to discuss these questions in detail.
We will say that instead of uniting the inde-
pendent press of the country, aud we use
this word solely and with reference to the
operations of these great spectators, in an
effort to maintain its independence and to
resist the manipulstions and projects
Of Gould, our three contemporaries seem
to US to be pursuing a policy which
renders the success Of the independent
press against him exceedingly difficult, and
tends to promote Gould's purposes most
effectively. What the Journal of Commerce
says about the San and its editor surpssses
our understanding. What does It mean by
alleging that we are personal friend of the
leading manipulators, or that we may
not rebel against such q dictatorship,
or that this paper may have been
sold ousg This is sort of false suggestion
that we were not prepared to expect from
man like Mr.. David M. Stone, who is not
habltuallY demented, and we will add that,
while the msnipulators of whom he
speaks will have to wait forever
before the San becomes subservient to
their ends, the Journal Of Commerce appears
to be already enlisted in furthering their
designs to the utmost Of its ability. It is
not practicable for limited number Of half
crazy men to beat Jay Gould. 1t takes
judgment and GOODNESS to do that. We pre-
fer to exercise those qualities IN this case,
as In all Others"
