Joseph Pulitzer
Other rivals

Charles A. Dana, the editor of the rival New York Sun and personal enemy of Grover Cleveland, became estranged from Pulitzer during the 1884 campaign. Dana's Sun endorsed Greenback nominee Benjamin Butler, a major blow in swing state New York. He attacked Pulitzer in print, often calling him "Judas Pulitzer." After Cleveland's victory, the Sun ' s circulation had been halved and the World replaced it as the largest Democratic paper in the country.

Leander Richardson, a former employee who left the World to run The Journalist, was even more directly antisemitic, referring to his former boss only as "Jewseph Pulitzer."

Whitelaw Reid frequently sparred with Pulitzer, both in person and in their respective papers.
