Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - June 11, 1877, Winnipeg, Manitoba It Al v in i 1 a. I i gossip flow the some Tuio about Tiik no Wal Al bks. From our own correspondent. Ottawa 2sth Muy 1s77. Tillo , a Little More than six yours ago it was that the mail printing Tuul publishing company was formed composed chiefly of conserva Tives who desired a More effective Organ than Tho Lender but also Roro or loss of liberals who wore tired of Tho domination Iid dictation of the Globe and who ear Nestly wished for Tho establishment of some exponent of Public opinion which would not to a Mere party Hack and would Duro to stand up feb the right and denounce the no matter Whoso of was gored 1 Tho prospectus with which Tho mail was heralded indeed gave Promise that Tho Hopes of its promoters would in some measure at least be real ipod. 1 Nood scarcely say that their Hopes might Well Havo ended at Tho prospectus. Since Tho very firs Issue the mail has been first Day of Ith the most obedient slave and servant of Tho tory party doing such dirty work As no Othor paper in Cana i a of any political Stripe Ever descended to to before. I should be sorry were it sup posed for a moment that i did not acknowledge the mail especially Sinco it has Boon in opposition to have been Well and vigorously written indeed far As ability is concerned Tho articles of the opposition Organ have As a Rule been far ahead of Tho globes for it must be admitted that the latter had Boon so Long accustomed to critic Cue and find fault that As Tho apologist and advocate of a government it flounders very much like a fish out of water. But Micro ability in a newspaper does not command Success. There must also boat least the appearance of honesty consistency and in dependence. To begin with Tho mail s shameless disregard of Tho grand promises with which it bowed itself upon Tho stage of existence gave a Shock to Public Confidence which was fatal to its circulation. It became apparent almost at once that it was bound in Tho most Servile Way to Tho wheels of Tho party juggernaut Tho politicians above came Forward to its assistance an assist once the amount of which is easy to com Pute and Tho commercial Public left it so verily alone. Then for Tho first year or two. Tho management was characterized by the most ill judged extravagance the Story is somewhere told of a Man who did his Best to exhaust Tho exchequer of his satanic majesty which had Boon pledged to him to the last Dollar in consideration of some Sig Nal service but All in vain until to started a newspaper which the Story declares was More than Tho infernal Treasury could stand. Now Tho moral of this not very moral Story is that it does not require highly salaried Heads of departments with nothing to do but draw their pay and with private secretaries to write their letters to Send a Newn paper Enterprise especially if but starting practically to destruction. Such however the syriac a which prevailed in the establishment during Uio Early Days of its history. A capital of which certainly was a handsome foundation to build o a wad soon disposed of in this Way new Stock if i am not misinformed was issued and a general cutting Down of expenditure was at once begun and has Sinco continued. The career of the paper financially it is said Lias Niverth Olcus been downward without interruption from Tho beginning and you will have noticed recently that the crisis has arrived and a meeting of Tho company called to decide whether Tho Enterprise shall lie abandoned or whether More Money can be forked out. That the mail will to allowed to go Down nobody need expect that any change will take place either in the manner or Persi omd of management is equally out of Tho question under the circumstances for the managing director is said to hold Tho whole concern in the hollow of his hand what the upshot May lie will doubtless to known and conveyed to you by Telegraph Ere this appears in print and it would therefore to useless to try and forecast Tho result at Iii o. At the last general that by Tho Way which came Oil on wednesday is an emergent convention necessitated by an execution issued at Tho instance of a firm of Toronto Money the control was vested personally in sir John a. Macdonald whose factotum or. I Ottoson the manager has All along Boon. There is no secret service fund now upon which to fall Back in satisfaction of the claims of the the publicans and and a Invar Opportunity is therefore offered for sir John Ami lie who Hopes in future to be his Linann Minuter or. 1 upper to show their ability to i also Tho in the meantime tin frankness with which Tho mull a diff Cultis communicated to the Public is something charming. That Rupert of Jour Nal the Lla Miltin Long time on its own behalf and on behalf of the Public to a stockholder inter est in the Muil x concerns on account of the Public Money which Lull parsed into its cock i s through the medium of the Northern railway. True that Money has now been returned to the Public Treasury but it would really seem As if Tho Imnira Sil claim of Tho tin ifs wore a coining Horn substantial recognition from tin full information Laid before the country of the paper s financial troubles. To with we have the to Ronto correspondent of Tho in Troal appeals to speak telling us that the crisis was brought about As i have stated and surely the Hist Blage of up Ness have been reached when company s wont into the hands of that the Plant. Lock and band was Portya Jjck to a capital to carry on the concern and failing because in reality to wont for the purpose of promoting another scheme in which he was successful that he has Boon scheming to get control of Trio paper himself and that in furtherance of this object to has published or caused to to published All those particulars As to the company s financial on View of depreciating the Stock and of buying it up for an old song. This at least is challenging an acknowledge ment of the Corn a libel a very direct Way. Whether there to any truth in the Tel cram s Story or not Thiu never have been two opinions about Atleson s thorough unlit Noss to manage Tho paper successfully. 1 dare say to among Tho Ablest and most facile writers of the Canadian press As a descriptive and special correspondent i undertake to say to has few Supori ois in America and As an iliac hit of any newspaper he would unquestionably to an invaluable acquisition. Hut As a manager of a Large Enterprise involving the display of great judgment and consider Able financial ability of patience Persever Ance tact and Tempe to has Boon As. In Tho very nature of things to was bound to be a signal failure. Whether to could do better after his six years experience As owner than to has done As manager is quite Mother question and i have an impression that As one result of the forthcoming meet ing he will to Given an Opportunity to show. While railing against or. Georgo Brown As a despot and dictator in every Issue of Tho company s paper it is nevertheless said that or. Patteson s Groat ambition is to be to Tho conservative party what to has striven hard to make the Public believe or. Brown is to Tho liberals. I am All his ability that Tho want of other necessary qualities would prevent him from Ever making the mail much else than it is now at least so far As its in Cuenco with the Public is concerned. 1 ant Afi Aid too that Tho Kettle having once been dog s will have got a bad name which to can never get rid of. People will always pay court to Success and they will always turn up their noses at Tho unfortunate to it will to hard to inspire Public Confidence in a concern which in six years has managed to go through of capital More or less mortgaged Ity Plant for every cent it is Worth get in debt besides and then hoisted the Flag of when Tho Twenty per cent brokers became impatient and de Mand their Pound or flesh.
