GAYNOR DENOUNCES YELLOW JOURNALS. Mayor Gaynor of New York, who has now recovered from the bullet of the assassin Gallagher, is most bitter against the yellow newspapers because of their unkind attacks on him. Said he: "The time is at hand when these journalistic scoundrels have got to stop or get out, and I am ready now to do my share to that end. They are absolutely without souls. If decent people would refuse to look at such newspapers the thing would right itself at once. The journalism of New York city has been dragged to the lowest depth of degradation. The grossest libels instead of honest statements state-ments have gone on unchecked."
