This  was  not  exactly  ft-at^mal,  but  it  was  the  Tribune's  way.  Of  coarse
the  mandate  fell  flat,  for  the  carriers  did  help  the  Times,  and,  moreover,
presently  carried  more  copies  of  the  Times  than  of  the  Tribune,  and  continue

a  dozen  good  printers,  the  assistant  foreman  of  the  composing-room,  and  the
assistant  foreman  of  the  press-room  of  the  Tribune  estabUshment  resigned
their  positions  to  accept  better  places  under  Raymond.

the  Times  was  to  gain ;  for  thousands  of  newspaper  readers  in
^ew  York  had  been  for  years  prepared  to  welcome  a  jouma!

in  the  collection  of  news.  These  conditions  Raymond  sought
to  fulfil ;  and  he  succeeded.
