Eastern Press Grills Hearst.

The New York betting fraternity
seem to consider Hearst a risk in the
class of Parker.-St- Louis Globe
Democrat.
There is something about the support
which has broken out over the Demo-
cratic Hearst ticket that suggests the
smallpox.-New York Press.
What has Hearst done for labor2
That's easy--he has given it a column
of Brisbane-anarchisti editorials daily
for ten years.--Detroit Journal
w. r. Hearst got the nomination
for Governor of New York by methods
similar to those employed by stage
robbers He will doubtless
be beaten by the largest majority ever
known.-Chicag Journal.
was there ever a more cynical spec
tacle than that presented at the Buff
falo convention? Three words tell the
whole story-bosses, money, Hearst.
Hearst is the logical candidate of that
convention because he is the three in
one.-New York Mail.
whatever the result in New York
may be, there can be no doubt that
the nomination of Mr.. Hearst comes In
the nature of a disappointment and
shock to conservative Democrats else
where. There is price which think
ing men recognize as being too much
TO pay even for success: and in the
minds of many such a price has been
paid by the Democratic organization in
New York-New Orleans States.
The Democratic party in New York.
Of fha If ch0Ec to
represent 1t in Buffalo has disgraced
itself beyond all precedent and paved
the way for the most crushing defeat
in it's history. 1t Is impossible to be-
lieye that decent Democrats can bring
themselves TO support ticket with
Hearst at the head. no matter what
argument of regularity" may be
brought to bear upon them.-Provi-
dence Journal.
Hearst is only another man who.
having fought the machine until he
grew so strong that notice must be
taken of him. was caught up and
thenceforward became one of its de-
tenders against the people. If he
should be elected he will be Murphy's
Governor. If he should be defeated he
will be nothing but a discredited yell

circulation. is indeed inconsistent with
the style of journalism of which Mr.
Hearst has been the chief exponent
but. however that may be. Hearst the
man can inspire little confidence as a
representative of '.unsel1shness in pub
lie life.' His journalism for ten years
has been a mocking, shrieking protest
against the notion that here is a pub
lie leader in whom the American peo-
pie can place an unalloyed and abiding
trust.-springield Republican.
When so experienced a politician as
Bourke Cochran, who only six months
ago committed Tammany Hall to a

everything for which Mr. Hearst
stands. admits that. deplorahle as the
fact is. the nomination OF the league
candidate seems 10 be probable. it is
the outcome. The New York law

What spectacle is presented.
Hearst. the champion of the people, is
apparently about to tie himself up
with Tan1nnany, the organization that
has for years stood for all that was
