had already become recognized a politi-
cal Nestor, and Messrs. Bennett and Greeley
had also been already acknowledged as
potent monarchs in the realms OF journal
ism.
Messrs. Weed and Greeley had then al
ready become acknowledged makers of gov
ernors and Presidents, and Mr.. Raymond
had taken rank as an Albany legislator, at
when a new radical state constitu-
tion had called for the services at the state
capitol of the most capable politicians in
both whiS and democratic parties. Mr. Ben
nett, then, as always afterWard, stood with
out active political affiliations, but with ten
denotes somewhat antagonistic to the whig-
gerry of the other three His favorite edi-
torlai amusement was to pet one party on q
Monday, for instance, the other party on a
Wednesday. and on a Friday knock their
heads together in miSchievous and piquant
editorials. In him a strong tendency to
misunderstanding always existed. Enemies
had called him malicious, but never grain
of malice was in his heart. They simply
mistook mischief and practical jocundity
for malice. Both Messrs. Weed and Greeley
were very serious editors. but Raymond
combined slight love OF mischief and satire
with preference for serious views of life
and its vicissitudes. The personality of ca ch
editor was so strongly infused into the
newspaper directed by each of the quartet
that until their deaths the sayings by any
one quoting either paper was Bennett or
Weed. or Raymond or Greeley, says SO and
this morning"
New York city finally became the journal
istic workshop of the entire quartet, by the
removal to it of Mr.. Weed on purchase of
the oldest daily newspaper in the state-the
Commercial Advertiser-whosec conservative
history suited the conservative leanings of
Mr.. Weed in his declining years.
Not COngenial Group.
Although one would surmise that Coop
Grafton in similar grooves of occupa ton
might be calculated to draw the members
of the quartet together in personal friend
ship. the singular feature was presented of
their non-assimilation. While Messrs.
Weed and Raymond remained upon the
most amiable terms throughout their ed-
torial careers, the utmost personal antag-
onlsm ensued between Messrs. Weed and
Greeley, and between the latter and Mr.
Raymond; while Mr.. Bennett, who had
never except casually met any of the
others. constantly waged a guerrilla war
fare upon all three with his editorial pen
For them he prepared nicknames; thus
Weed was to him and Herald readers the
Albany drummer"-in allusion to the en-
listment of the Albany editor during the
war of 1872 as a boyish drummer For
that service Mr.. Weed yearly received a
pension to the date of his death, and which
went into the conduit of his well-known
and systematic charities. Mr.. Raymond

No BravadO There Now.

From the Utica Observer.
1t was sad Fourth that young Hildreth,
the train wrecker, passed in Auburn prison.
A visitor from Utica saw him during the
service in the chapel yesterday morning
There was a crowd in the visitors gallery
when the great body of prisoners entered
and took their places. Those who are un-
der hfe sentences came last and occupied
places In the rear. There were ten or
twelve OF these, among them being the lad
whose trial at Rome is still fresh in the
public mind. Never since he gained his
unhappy notoriety did he appear to be such
child. His companions for life were big
men, and in the same prison garb Hill
dreth, among them, looked pitifully small
and young. 1t was difficult to realize that
he was there for life.
Hildreths spirit Is broken; his nerve is
gone. The buoyancy which carried him
through the last few exciting weeks which
he passed outside of Auburn vanished as
realization Of his life approached His
whole attitude shows that. He followed
the services with apparent interest. When
the congregation arose at the doxology
the little prisoner bent and hung his head
over the pew in front as though in fer
vent prayer. That was a strange picture
Of Hildreth. The change that has been
wrought Is complete.

Editorial Policies.

nett shared on the subject were that the
best editor was he who followed the trend
of popular convictions in the majority upon
pending questions. They each put great
editorial reliance on vox populi But IL
Mr.. Greeley did not approve of that yox
he honestly endeavored to hush 1t. ia
Forlte expression of Mr.. Bennett was that
one province Of an editor was to put scenes
OF life into the minds Of readers without re-
quiring them to think much as they read.
Each OF the quartet became popular with
his staff.
Mr.. Greeley for his frankness, ouaintness
and simplicity; Mr.. Raymond for unvary-
ing urbanity and consideration for the feel
ings OF others; Mr.. Weed by reason of his
personal magnetism and his recognized
good Judgment about men and events and
Mr.. Bennett for his grave, courteous dig
nifty and his valued sententious and mar
velous spread Of information. He was
gifted with a Walter Scott life memory.
and was to his staff what I may term
peripatetic encyclopedia. Mr.. Weed and
Mr.. Greeley shared distaste for details and
LETT these wholly to subordinates: but the
other two editors, while believing in division
of labor among assistants. readily grasped
details In newspaper management, and to
large extent shared in arrangement of
these.
With that most necessary adjunct to g.
successful journal, the business office
Messrs. Weed and Greeley held no connec-
ton or supervision. Mr.. Raymond enjoyed
ment Of the Times Of his partner, the late
George Jones, who was in his day unde-
niably the most capable newspaper pub
Usher that any country ever knew. In the
business department of tho Herald Mr.,
Bennett took pains to employ men who in
the slang of the present day are felicitous-
ly styled "hustlers." but he personally SUI
pervised the business details Of the Herald
1t was a misfortune in Mr.. Greeley's life
that he never had the slightest aptness for
business in it's commercial senses. Upon a
particular occasion at one Of the we'll
known evening salons that the literary
Carey sisters weekly held in their cozy
house on Lexington avenue, where the rep
resertatfve literati, artists and music lovers
Of New York city assembled, the topic
arose whether Dickens really drew the
character Of Micawber from his own father;
and Mr.. Greeley said, my paternaI was q
verttable Micawber himself. His love Of
1ndorsing notes for neighboring farmers in
our village Of Amherst reduced him to
bankruptcy and compelled hts emigration
to another state" Oddly enough, this same
trait crept into Editor Greeley's career.
He lost large sums through his New York
residence by indorsing commercial paper
that he was compelled to honor. He was
the only impulsive member Of the quartet,
and impulsiveness in business matters IL
not desirable trait. SO It came to pass
that when Mr.. Greeley died hs owned only
six shares Of the capital stock Of the New
York Tribune out of the very large number
Of shares that he once possessed.
