Note 1033 — Chapter XXXVI · CLEVELAND’S ENORMOUS MAJORITY 1881-2
Reading edition
New York Tribune, October 4.
"By one of those curious blunders to which editorial offices are liable in the absence of the responsible head, an article by Mr. Curtis was modified to commit the paper to the support of the candidate. Curtis resigned the editorship. It was promptly and in the most manly manner disavowed by the house of Harper & Bros."—Edward Cary, Life of Curtis, p. 275.
