Republican to loIn to Jj In with the Tribune r In arranging for the count Tho Tue o letter has been utterly i ignored There is only one conclusion lu l n THE TRIBUNE Rn U E IS AFRAID ID TO To HAVE YE ITS ITS CIRCULATION CLAIMS CLADIS VERIFIED We do not not overlook the bal bald bluffs that have e been m made ln the interim by b the Tribune Tribune the the offers of five hun hundred re dollars doHa to cha charity t and all an that These things do d lOt not have ha tho th effect they were intended to have Dl Bluffing ml mn- mn and bluster arc r resorted to with a a. hope of ot di diverting dl- dl ertIng the atten attention lon of ot the public from the Tribunes Tribune's bad case not to establish i its standing in the confidence ot of- the advertisers And Ande we e ve are not unmindful of the fact that the Tribune Trib une in In Its exasperation at being trapped reverts to the gamin gallin method of calling names It 11 is the tho comfortless comfort 1 less habit of or the uie Tribune to
