Chronicle, THAT NI‘IW CHICAGO PAPER. Too Bplendid for Anyihing, New York Tribune, March ih. A report was current the other day In Chicago that a new Democratic paper, of the out-und- out varfety, was about to be establlshed In that Western metropolis, with Mr. Manton Marblo as editor-inchicf, Mr. Bamuel J. Tilden, along with otwers, ns financial backer, and Mr. Perry H, 8mith as Presldent of the stock corporution. On second thought, we have perhaps gone too far §n sayitg tnatit was rumored stich a paper was nbout to be **os- tablished." There was a rumor that a fournal such ns we have indicated was about to be *“started,” and that, under ordinary clreum- stances, is a very different matter. The Democ- racy, 18 o rule, are not nddicted to the arts of reading and writing; if the Ark nud Shechinah Letter, or something equally fluc aud alittio fresher, were offered thierm “In darly portions under the form of a feuilleton, or a’ continued story, we darc eay they would skip a great deal of it, Still therels always a certain field for a politieal wewapaper during a 'reaf- dentlal campalgn, provided it hasa barrel of money In the back offlce: -und. If n Tilden organ were to be set up now in the West, there ts no fsucmon that It would be kept In operation un- til November, 1830. It is disconrazing to learn that Mr, Perry H. Smitk, it he does not flatly deny she story, throws some doubt upon If, He says that thiere has been talk about n new Demgeratic paper, but the arrangements appeur to be for the present suspended. Thisis a great n"'f' Auything from the pen of Mr. Manton Marblo wotld be read fust now with general publle Interest? ‘Lhe prospeet of getting o two-column leader from him every morning,~—something really high-toned «amd chunky,—of baving him, fo to speak, always with " us, stimulatle our civic virtue, rousing our holiest emotions, and ringing fire-bell scven mghts in the weels, is go alluring that for our part we cannot help belleving in it. Mr. Marble bus been go vreclous n huon to the rofession that the profession eanoot allord to ose him, - 1Te has enriched the political vocabu- lary with a number of very long and extremelv effective words that nobody else hnd thought of. He hus taught the mere news- paper writer to practice a sort af sublfinated amnd ceremonious morality which has generally been reserved for docturs of divinlty, and o use In the dissemination of this loftv Fooduess o simple eloquence that goes straight to ihe heart. Mr. Marble at the head of a new Democratic organ, for which Russta furnished the best United States documents, would tn- vigorate the whole nation, Nor Is the selection of Mr, Perry 1. Smith to preside over the assolated stockhiolders of the | profected cnterpriso less consplendusly fit than the eholee of Mr. Marblo for the fifst place on the editorial stafl. Mr. Perry Smith is gifted asn manager of persons und things, When the vote-brokers and other agents In Florida were at loggerbieads, Woolley demanding thut Marble should be restrained from — malk- fmg propositions to the encwy, Mar- ble declaring tint ~ Woolley ~was_ n nuisance und unpediment, the two biddlng agalust each other und gutting in cach ather’s way, it was_to Mr. Perry I Smith, otherwlsy kuown ns * Peruse Socinfan,” that an exborta- tion was sent from New Yorie to stop the quar- rel. Now, il Mr, Mauton Marble hasa fuult— whith we do not aflirin—It {8 that be is fuclined, like other great und pood men, to be now wnd then a little bumotlous; und, as he would waturally, fn the new organ, be brought into frequent intercourse with the same ventle- men who were assoclated with bim in Florldu, and_ of course with Col. Pelton besldes, it Is Itizely that the old exacerbatlons would: break out ‘anew, and that fresh disputes s to the causes of the fafturc of 1870 waould disturb_thy harmony of thu partuersbin, ‘I'he uses of Per- uso Socfnian in such a regrettable state of aflairs are obrvious. Whooever Mr, Marble is ruilled, Peruse Sucinian will apply limsulf as a sort of moral smoothing lron. Wa do not observe that any one has yet been named for the post of publisher nnd tipaucial manazer of the new paper: but the ontssion is accounted far by the fact that there {3 probubly only one man alive who unites all the qualiticu- tions for thut pout, and hois so clearly nom- fnuted by Providence that it would almost be superfluous to say unything more about him. 1t 18 needless to ndd that we refer to Mr, Jolin F, Coyle. A natural gift for spending anythims has been ealtivated in his case by long und varlea practice, while in the directlon of & newspaper counting-room ho enjoys un experl- cuce nbsolutely unigue. We have no doubt thut under his able manazement the histury of the Nnances of the new orean ‘will be wholly un- precedented except by the curfous story of the last days of tho Natlonal Intelliyencer. e BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Special Dispatch to The Tridune.
