THAT BAGGY LEADER.
(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sib,—The wind bag shareholder who remarks upon the leader in your morning contemporary on Saturday last s might have told your readers 'the depth of poverty to which the " capitally-printed, matter of fact leaders of the late editor upon the great sterling principles, etc., had carried, what your correspondent thinks, "ought, with farseeing enlightened management, to be a paying concern." Why did he not tell that shares upon which seventeen shillings and sixpence have been paid were being offered at four sKillings and no buyers ? This is the re* suit of two years of the "farseeing, enlightened management" of the late editor. It seems to me, Sir, to be a case - of wind bags versus paper bags, and I believe the public will back the latter in preference to the former. At all events (here are buyers of shares now—there were none for sometime previous to the paper bag era.-—I am, &c, Anotheb Shabbholdeb, etc.
