The Albany Times and the New Yorh
Times.

| VUneS-
Yesterday our neighbor the Nesu York
| Times printed an attack upon Mr.. THE
opHmUs @. CAL11ooT. the editor Of It's Albany
namesake. One Of tho charges brought
against Mr.. CAL11coT Is that in the spring
of 1884 his newspaper was disposed to speak
severely of the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND.
with might and MAN," says the NeU
York Times Of Mr.. OAILIooT, "he entered
! the lists against Mr.. CLEVELAND. Follow
| ing are few quotations taken from the
| [Atbunp] Times Of that year." We quote the
first extract displayed by our New York con-
temporary:
Gov CLEVELAND will bo forgotten Tho remains will ho
left In the Executive Chamber till the close Of tho Exec
utve term then they win be very quietly inferred
| at Bufaio."-AtbaHv TtnsS Hdrch ia 1884.
Well, suppose that was the Albany TSmes's
Wow on March 1a, 1884, of Mr.. CLEvK1ANDs
| chances Of the nomination for President2
Mr.. CALn1ooT was not the only possessor Of
| that opinion. Exactly three days earlier,
on March 15, 1884, the Ne,O York TH'es had
expressed itself concerning Mr.. CLEVELAND
In still unllinder language:
.CLHvnLANp 10 said to have record an q political
former although useful article of furniture has yet
| to be produesd."-NeV Fork TDses March Ia 1884
The NeD York Times further accuses the
Albany ITmes Of having remarked of Mr.
| CLEVELAND ON June IL, 1884:
| .Goy CLryELAun being the favorita Of the Repub
ucans and dudes the Democrats viii do better to NOM
mate man who win be popular with the Democrats"
Albany THlts Juus u, 1854
Well suppose the Albany Times did say
thatp Less than O month earlier. on May
| Is, 1884, the Ne,o York. Tymes had said Of Mr.,
CLEVELAND;
"He has gained nothing by trying to make DEAL but
has lost much Of the prestige which would have bean
great but for his unfortunate weakness for damaging II
81 critical timea"-Geo Pork TINES, 1ay 10 1854
Ths third quotation produced by the Ne,p
| York Times in support OF It's dreadful charge
| that the Albany Times regarded the nomina-
| ton Of Mr. CLEVELAND as unwise, bears the
date Of June IS, 1884:
It Ia also evident that if CLEVELAND should be nomt
mated and should receive as large vote as In 1882 yet
BLAINE should receive large vote GARgELp re-
| ceived in 1880 CLEVELAND would DO beaten BY over
10000 Men and brethreni These are tho cold faetA
and we may as well look them square In the face. II
We are going the State against BLAINE must
nominate . Democrat who can bring the whole Demo
cratic support Of the ticket SEYMOUR uSed
to do 20 Republican dudes We must fail -
ALBANY TWss
Well, suppose the Albany Times did say
that? Is 1t worse, q moro indecent, moro
malicious attack on the Hon. GROVER
CLEVELAND than this which Mr.. CALLICoT
had read q few weeks earlier in the editorial
| columns OF the Ne,o York Iimes:
Nothing could bs mOSo prsposterouS than nomi-
sion the Presidency Of Gov CLEVELAND. And yet tho
nomination Of this paroehAl statesman 10 quite on the
| cardS "-Eet0 Fork T.aeS.
The fourth and last specification of the NeaD
| York Times, In Its character "a prosecutor
| of the Albany Times for disrespectful Ian
guage about the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND
in the spring Of 1884. Is here submitted:
"Even in the tidal yeAF. IsBa Gov CLSvnlAxD failed
to poll his full Democratic vote. Had he done 30. his
| majority would have been 2Go ooo"-Atbanp Tunes
Well. suppose Mr. OALLIooT did say that2
| Not long before he had read and perhaps
absorbed and assimilRted the very unfavor-
able opinion Of the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND
entertained by the editor Of the Neio Rorh
Tsmes and expressed on various occasions In
phrases like this:
"Gov CLsvELAHD Ia willing TO SWindls the architects
OF the Capitol ous Of money which the State them
for work done for the state in order to gain rsputA
tion as RAfOrmeA This 10 about the cheapest and
seurvisst trick even Of this lowpricsd HtGteGmAn"
| HeU Hork Itlas1.
Ifit Is acrimet to have doubted the strength
of the Hon. GROVER CLEVELAND as Demo-
cratic candidate. the Neto York Times has
unquestionably proved the guilt of the Al
bany Times. But in all the evidence pro-
duced by the NeD York TImes to convict its
Albany namesake we do not find anything
| to show that Mr.. CALLIcoT sneered at Mr..
CLEVELAND as a parochial statesman. or
impuRned his personal honesty. or de-
clared him to be pretentious humbug as a
reformer. or characterized any Of his public
acts as the cheap and scurvy tricks OF low
priced statesman. or called him swindler.
