THE JOURNALISTIC JAcKAL.


The infamous Tribune, having had il
glaring Inconsistency in the matter o
the fuckers shown up in TIE HERALD
displays its ugliness by declaring that i
''still believes that Beverly Tucker is &
Mormon attorney in Washington; thai
Hon. ]. Randolph Tucker began the
investigation OF the Edmunds bill with
indifference" etc. The same hand
which penned this expression of belief
some time ago wrote a dispatch
and had it wired from Washington. as
follows: at is stated that the chairman
of The House jud ciary committee

which committee has now under con-
sideration the Eimunds bill as it came
from the Senate, has brother in this
city who has been retained as the paid
attorney for the MoInon church."
When the telegram was read to the
com nittee the chairman was Indignant,
and Baskin, the puppet of the Tribune,
not only repudisted the scoundreIism
which dictated the telegram, but went
as far as he dare without Of
Tending his muster in the direc-
ton of denouncing the Tribune.
Baskin endeavored to smooth it
over with Mr.. Tucker, but the latter
would not have it. declaring: Il do
not intend that that extract shall go
into the record with that statement in
regard TO my brother without cor
rection." He further said: 81 do not
care who is responsible for il; merely
want TO say that the statement that my
brother has been retained as the paid
attorney of the Mormon Church is
absolutely false. Isaw some time
ago an intimatlon of the kind that is
contained in this dispatch. informed

the subject, nor If he had. would his
approach have had any effect upon me.

gentleman to take 4 fee. or to take
position with regard to any matter that

of which his brother was chairman"
Delegate Caine, who woula natur-

than anybody else, said; Il have en-
gagged all the attorneys that had been

The morning following the report of
the judiciary committee, the Tribune
