Article: New-York Daily Tribune, 19 December 1865.

     Long article by Maretzek on his feud with the New York Herald, including nine disparaging excerpts from the NYH.  “The past season would have been incomplete without the rude attention and vicious buffoonery of The Herald.”  Maretzek was called “a sausage vendor” in one article, later a “liar and a blackguard” and finally, “Oily Gammon.”  He elaborates the history of the feud, dating back many years.
