75 - L. Jan. 21; ed: 2/2 - The WORLD and imitators were getting ready for an
onslaught upon the government in consequence of discoveries of frauds in
the Custom house, when a nest of frauds was exposed in their own municipal
administration. The Democratic manager for the sanitary department of the
city spent $600,000 yearly for street cleaning, when the work could have
been done for $215,000. Clerks were getting $600 to $2,000 a year for
BRIBERY & CORRUPTION (Cont.'d)
doing no work. Forty-eight health-wardens were getting $18,108 yearly for
work which can be done by ten men. - - -
"Let the administration administer punishment to its own bungling swind-
lers so that the bad breed cannot be propagated." (6)

heads" who propose to control the polls on election day.

1204 - L. July 1; ed: 1/2 - Manton Marble, while doing the editorials on
the WORLD, led a blushing damsel to the altar. It is evident that the
wooings of the "gay Marble" have taught him the use of some new figures
of rhetoric. Marriage has been an excellent thing, although in doing
so he turned a young lady to stone. (4)

1375 - L June 21; ed:4/5 - Republicans and Rebels are the cause of the
war, according to the new mode of attack employed by certain Democratic
journals. The Republicans elected a president, as they had a right to
do; the Rebels didn't like this; consequently they revolted. "We had
supposed that such silly attempts at logic liad died out, but the WORLD
is industriously at work just now in renewing them." (2)

1973 - L. Aug. 19; ed: 2/2 - The editor of the WORLD has proclaimed him-
self an abolitionist, but when chided about it, declared that every man
has the right to be an abolitionist under the constitution and says the
South never denied it. He also claims that the efforts made by the free
states to abolish slavery were antagonistic.
He also declares that he has been in favor of modifying the fugitive
slave law, but "judging from his editorial opinions nowadays, it cer-
tainly does not look much like it." (4)

the Rebellion have sent petitions from England asking the United States
government to make peace with the South. Over 300,000 names are

"The tons and language of the petitions are familiar to the WORLD,
the NEWS, the Chicago TIMES, the Cincinnati ENQUIRER, and the PLAIN
DEALER. . . . . . . -- " " . . . .” -
"It was entirely unnecessary for 300,000 Englishmen and Irishmen, , , --

plenty of such talk at home." - - - - . . . . . (13)
