New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1899-10-18
FLTSTFRED.

The evening newspaper whose services MT.
Platt has recently secured by buying up inc
young persons who are trying 10 show mat the!
can manage the property and perhaps some 'i'he
pay for il is horribly angry AT The tribune. IL
has grown red in the face and reached the s'ain-
merinp stage. Yesterday It became incoherent
in its rage and sputtcrcd about the "Tvibune
and "Whltelay Reid and "back-stbler ana
Observation-Disclosures under heaven such GID
bcrish on the editorial page of a newspaper MA!
mean-ond generally showed signs that though
hired bv Mr. Platt and anxious 10 please MN II
felt fustered and foolish in his service. Ana no
wonder A voice pitched TO snivelling FOR the
aims Of tho plous must sound cracked when II
oseors round oaths for the delight of n dance
han. even if the new occupation pays better ana
IS more congenial.
Of course there is no sense In replying to the
suffering Of this organ of Mr.. Plat about MT
po,d.s heing q persistent office seeker. for II
doesn't know ANYTHING about II. and merely re-
roo,s tho malicious inventions Of its chartcrer
which coming from some responsible source
micht he on silv disproved Nor is there any use o
renIvinr 70 its talk Of treason OF course 1t thinks
II &c treason for The Tribune TO point out 'ic
meaning of the light registration and show MT
Platt how he is hurting the Kepupncah parry
nv fo1,nr 70 clear himself Of the Indictment for
partnership in Tammany scandals whlch 'ne
Nozct Committee has brought against hh II
Is paid TO think There Is nothing eise LOT u
10 think. since it has no defence 10 o"er i"r MI
platt's silence OF course ii thinks IL IS lleasoh
for The Tribune to tell the plain truth aDout '''c
compaien in Ohio and warn Republicans OF 'h'
dancers they must surmount TO VIII when I"
man is working around at odd jobs for anybody
who will hire him, trying to earn enough 10
mako q ravment on the tools he has Ohtainen OH
| trust he naturally thinks anybody Is traitor
| M matter what lie does, who is not lKed ny
| his boss of the time being. Next year IL MI
plott does not give his hirclins the police au-
vertIsipc TO help it scrape together enough
money 10 pay its hardly earned interest IL VIII
nrohohly in turn think Mr.. Plat just as much Il
traitor 10 the Republican party ms II ala shoi
fine oco TIL then he is It's MASTER ana IL VIII
fry ~ rot its dole BY charging every crime IN
,hs calendar. probable and improbable. TO any
body who stands in the way Of his schemes
Rut having paid for this support Mr. fiatt ~
rcollv entitled to better service for his money
tbon the utterance of jabberwock which makes
hin, ,hrougb his organ ridiculous and does not
IN tho ,oast harm ANYBODY else We should maze
to see ANYTHING divert it from It's denunciauoh
Of The Tribune We are used TO peihe oe,
nounced for telling truths which Mr.. fia''
doesn't Ike. and It rather amuses us ana SHOWS
us that our remarks have struck home. In Ms
excitement and worry Mr. Plat confuses nm
self with the President Of the United states ana
imacines that what embarrasses him 'fla'V Is
nothing less than trcachery to the PRESIDENT an"
the Republican party But Mt the same uine
both for himself and for the sake OF the kePup-
lcan party. for which we are more concerned
Mr. plat ought to set somebody perhaps MS
chief composer Of manifestoes. to furnish MS
organ with something like real defence OF MS
course Calling Tie Tribune traitor does not
in the least clear Mr.. Platt from the Iammahy
deals tho Mazet Committee has laid at his door
