I have no faith in the trumpery of the dem sgogue. Speaking of political campaigns, continued Mr. Jerome, “the only time ever saw any reason to be at all sorry or having the support of newspapers *a« during my last campaign. There were three or four of the reporters who went nround with me all the time and I wne mnklng live speeches a night. As thoae reporters'were always on hand Jaklng down everything 1 said, I had * *et a new speech every night and had me going there for a while. However, newspapers are great •Wngs. i have many friends among the reporters of New York. I have had so much to do with them In the ait few years that I have come to know them and their game.
