AN EARNEST REQUEST
Made to All Editors Who Believe in Fair Play.


Gentlemen:

By as foul a deal as was ever made, “Watson’s Magazine,” of New York, has been taken out of my hands.

The written Contract, upon which I relied, has been shamelessly set aside.

A man whom I selected as my personal representative, and placed in the office at a fine salary, which has always been paid, betrayed me.

He and Col. Mann formed a new company, seized the Magazine under legal forms, and are now running it for themselves.

Col. Mann of Town Topics is Editor-in-Chief.

C. Q. DeFrance is Associate Editor and Business Manager.
