1921 - H&G Dec. 28; ed:2/2 - The GLOBE of Thursday night Dec. 27 reads
Mr. Rives out of the party. In his speech on that day Senator Rives
not only took charge of opening and directing the batteries of the
enemy on the administration, but gave a pledge of his earnest and uncompromising
hostility to Van Buren, by the most direct attacks on
the President himself. The GLOBE says: He has now not only joined
the opposition heartily, but is put in the front of their battle.
The reading out of the GLOBE is quite tame compared wi th the vulgar
feroci ty of its echo, the OHIO STATESMAN, which thus snarls at the
Lion: A country is only in danger when its traitors are unhung; and
a party can only be injured by the false and hollow-hearted remaining
under cover of deceitful and hypocritical professions. Sincerely do
we rejoice that this money-monger has gone over to the enemy soul and
body with the Swartwouts of New York.
(H&G) "The compi iment pa id to the party hacks, such as Swartwout,
Price, Stevenson, Henshaw, Lytle, and others who have fed with Marcy's
spoils motto before their eyes must be considered very kind, coming as
it does from one who is still gorging at the public crib." (9)

1923 - H&G June 12; ed:2/3 • Philip Dorsbiemer bas been appointed post-·
master at BufiaJo, in place of Colonel Dibble, turned out.
"This appears to be 'bead and front' of the Colonel's offence. To
oblige bis friends and fellow citizens, be ventured to so far disregard
tbe edict of the P. M. General as to receive bank notes for postages,
though he was careful to pay the Department in specie collected in his
private business. The axe has now fallen.
"His fate need have no terrors to our worthy Post Master, as every man
who bas paid a dollar's postage the past six months can witness. He takes
no such responsibility." (2)
