May 6, 1869 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses another article that was published in the "Sun," which was interspersed with extracts from private letters, its object being to prove the managing editor of the New York Tribune a corrupt and intriguing person. The theory-to use a legal phrase-of the writer of the article is that the managing editor, having secured the control of the Tribune. When one comes to examine the evidence adduced in support of this theory, he is obliged, in the first place, to discard completely the running commentary by which the letters are accompanied. It is very amusing, no doubt, but it is evidently the composition of a bitter enemy of the managing editor, and makes no pretence anywhere of being a sober narrative.
