The Spring field Republican repudiates him. The New York Times will fight him first, last and all the time. Harper's Weekly will caricature him with the same relentless bit terness as before. The Chicago Tribune will attack him with all Joe Medill's powerful battery. The St. Louis (i lobe Democrat will oppose him in the Southwest.
