IT must be conceded that Murat
Haistead sings a nasty quill, but
the following description of his
terse and vigorous style of writing
from the New York Herald is con-
siderably overdrawn and is entirely
too fgurative. The Herald SAYS of
the field marshal: ''In the field of
wild unbridled criticism he is
rhetorical earthquake with biizzad
attachment and confagration in
the rear. We read his editorials with
bristling hair and reverent gratitude
that he isn't the Almighty" But
what do his editorials amount to!
He has been waging war on paper
against the rebels for quarter of
century and has not yet succeeded
in inducing an army to sally forth to
suppress the rebellion, although the
Ohio river only divides him from
the enemy's quarters.
