THE EDITORSHIP OF THE "DAILY NEWS."
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]
SIR,—I have nothing to do with the circumstances in which Mr. Edward Dicey's connection with the Daily News came to a close. But I feel it due to myself to contradict the statement which has been made, and for which a paragraph in last Satur- day's Spectator has afforded a pretext, that the Editor of the Daily News is saddled with responsibility while denied the power of in- dependent action. I do not believe that this statement has any foundation as regards the past. It has certainly none in the pre- sent, and will have none, so far as I RID concerned, in the future.
—I am, Sir, &c., THE EDITOR OF THE "DAILY NEWS."
[The "statement" was not ours. The "pretext for it seems to be a matter on which the Proprietors and late Editor of the Daily News are alone competent to speak with authority, and on which, of course, we have never pretended to form an opinion..— ED. Spectator.]
