Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune newspaper, types headlines that appear on ticker tape that is being read by a stalwart Republican. The headlines include: “The Country on the Brink of Hopeless Disaster, Dem. Congress Behaving like Wild Horses, The Business Situation Growing Worse – All Owing to the Dem, Democratic Juggling with the Finances of the Country, Division in the Democratic Ranks, Democratic Pandering of the Goldbugs of Wall Street, [and] Dem. Panic.” Caption: Nothing is too improbable for the fanatic Republican to swallow, if he gets it from the Tribune.
