Lincoln handed over $4 for a subscription and complimented the new co-owner and managing editor, Joseph Medill, on his stand against intolerance. "I didn't like it before you boys took hold of it," he said of the Tribune.
And now that COL. has gotten hold of it and messed up the place with His muddling and his debt you REALLY won't like it.
