WhiteIaw Reid.
From CHICAGO Priat.r.

Whitelaw Reid, the Republican can
didate for President, Is by no
means unknown TO the printers of this
country. 1t is not our intention In this
article 60 speak for or against Mr.. Reid
FROM political standpoint; the polit-
zeal press Of the country we are sure
have made adequate preparations to
take care Of Mr.. Reid politically. We
simply desire 20 give a few facts as 70
the most important events Of his career.
After reciting the Incidents of his
earlier life, it says:
In 1865 he accepted an editorial posi-
ton on the staff OF the Now York TIT
bune, and in 1872. upon the death OF
Horace Greeley, he succeeded TO the
ownership and management OF that
paper.
In 1877 Mr. Reid proposed cut down
in all departments, especially the com
posing room, which the Union refused
to accede to, and as a consequence the
Tribune c6mposltors we're called out
Ever since thsv time MY Reid has
fought the Union, and has earned for
himself an unenyiable place in the
hearts Of the Iaboring classes. Upon the
accession Of President Harrison, Mr..
Reid was appointed United States Min.
lster TO France, and at the recent Re-
publican convention at Minneapolis was
nominated for Vice President on the
ticket with Mr. Harrison. just previ-
ous to the convention all CONTROVERSIES
between the New York Tribune and the
Typographical Union we're amicbaly
settled A committee Of "BlR Six" was
sent to Minneapolis to officially state
that the difference had been settled.
But not, however, as some Of the Re-
publican papers have already tried TO
make believe, were they in any way au-
thorized, or did they endorse him, or
promise the support of the Union on
the ticket. The Union IS non-political;
very likely the man who has received a
fat Job feels like helping elect Reid and
his ticket, but the thousands OF men,
bers Of the Typographical Unions all
over tho country are left to their own
discretion. Resolutions condemning
action Of Minneapolis committee as
oversteppIng their functions were
passed by & vote OF $50 20 g.
