might be termed a Spy "hasbeen." 1t
Is pleasant to see so many men present
who have given tone to the paper in
the past. I don't doubt that Mr. Pratt
regrets to leave The Spy. | sincerely
trust that he will grace the position he
has been placed in"

said: Men of the John Milton Earle,
John d. Baldwin and j. Evarts Greene
type have left an impression on the
city through their connection with The
spy: The Spy family has grown Won
dertully since my connection with it..
Mr.. Pratt has not been promoted
doubt if he could ever have more
Irlends in proportion to the number of
men ne meets than he made as a news
paper man. 1t Is for you all to deter
NINE in the future whether the election
or spy man to the office of city mes
senger Shall be termed a promotion"
