THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE AS A CAM-

PAIGN PAPER.

, SECOND NOTICE.
(From the Anglo-American 2 imes.)
Hurrah !--a half million ! "We now print
300,000 copies of the three editions of the Tribune,"
and three editions make but one journal, though
each is separate and distinctive. - -We read with awe
what we last week printedabout the. TVeekly Tribune,
and we regard with awe the columns and columns
which now tell us what the Daily edition is, and the
Semi- Weekly. Presently we may begin to peep out
of our hole to see if the monster is still near before
we recover breath and return to our gambols.
When the coast is clear, and we are no longer under
the shadow of the half million, we begin to wonder
what Horace Greeley pins by this display of
his huge proportions. The Tribune is very big
—it has an immense circulation ; it is, in Radical
estimation, an excellent campaign paper—we boy/
to Mr. Greeley, and ackinwledge his success as 3
journalist. Next issue out comes the intelligence that
the Tribune has an immense circulation, and is the
best campaign paper published. Again we bow t°
Mr. Greeley, and acknowledge his unquestioned
success in the Tribune. We rest on the Sabbath
but the first thing we see ou Monday morning ig
the assurance that the Tribune has an immense cir-
culation, is printed on good white paper, and if the
issue was piled up in a column it would ineYe
something bigger than the Nelson Monument in
Trafalgar-square. Again we waft our congratu-
lations across the ocean to Mr. Greeley, at the
same time delicately hinting that we now know all
about the campaign paper, and would like t°
know more of the campaign itself. But back
comes the response—the three in One are to go
up at once to half a million, for nothing the world
has ever seen will equal the Tribune, which is the
best and cheapest Weekly, Semi-weekly, and Daily
paper, spreading before the eyes, &c., &c. 'Then''
moved moved beyond endurance—we exclaim, Hold
Enough!! If the readers of the Tribune do not
now know all thisjit is in vain for you, Horace, t°.
attempt to enlighten them. Surely these are net
the articles which bring in the thousands of new
subscribers weekly ? Although we cannot suPP°s°
they would be published with this wearying
monotony if they did not produce some result. The
Tribune was very severely handled for a leader
entitled " Horatio Seymour as a Liar," but the
only effect of the comments has been to bring
forth the sequel in the issue of Sept. 30, "A Liar
without Shame." Mr. Greeley must be aware that
his responsibility is in proportion to his circulati(nt
which is so large as to give him a vast power fnr
.
good or evil in the United States, and he is too 013,
a journalist and too able a literary man not to kn°ll,
that he can strike as effectively without the use °f.
epithets which are as inapplicable when applicdil
men like Horatio Seymour as would be the gift °
a.few cents in charity to himself, the leading Pr°:
prietor of the Tribune he takes so much delight 1°
describing. There may be S9lllO point in sending °
battered spoon to Butler or a pocket-handkerehi'f
to Seymour, but as to calling a gentleman of high
character a liar because his figures do not tally loth
those of the Tribune is to combine a want of force
and object with a most injurious example, whie4
the small fry, following at the 7 ribune's heels era
not slow to copy. We have shown the Iribusel"
that when it comes to subtract 15 from 87
the
brings out a curious result, but we do not assert tvi.;
piper to be " A Liar without Shame " because it
thus errs. Campaign tactics doubtless authorise
the publication of such paragraphs as " Frank allo
on the War Path," as it is only paying Democrat
off in their own coin, and nobody is expected 01
believe it. The original report, too, comes fro t
the Cincinnati Commercial, and the scene is laid 8
Galion, Ohio, Sept. 26 :—" The hall was o°oo
,4
crowded. Frank, after whiffing away at his a.
for 10 or 15 minutes, arose and addressed his DeTijoo
cratic brethren for the full space of an hour. il
speech was very tame, eliciting but little
plause. The Democrats were much disappointed se
him. Upon taking his seat it was as quiet he
at a fwieral. Not °tie cheer. Ile looked as if
had been on a big drunk and was still keeping ittsti,,Y.
All through the audience you could hear it vol'";
pered, ,he is too full of whisky.' 'He is on °lld
of his drunks !' After he sat down there were l°°
calls for II tbbell, but Hubbell would not come Or;
ward, and the meeting finally adjourned. Fr.,315,
was escorted down to the Atlantic and Great AY%
tern depot, and took the 2.30 train east. Er3lje,
by this time had to be helped int) the coach. Secc,r
ral Democrats who saw him, say they can't vote Ibvii
such a man, and his coming here and making
speech has made at least 30 Republican votes." A
While thus commenting on the Tribune, a° si
cornpaign paper, we are fully alive to its merits'Ais
is difficult to appreciate the work performed by tab
and the able and skilful manner iu vll3lt
it has been transacted. Not only has a paper silt/01
the size of the London 7imes or Telegraph to be to
up daily, with its volume of news but a few 13° of
old, but it has to be supplied in the proportiono
at least three copies for one of the former and to,
for one of the latter. In London the labour of ero
tribution is taken from the offices of leading Papo)
by newsagents, while the Tribune is forwarded Ir',,i,
the chief office to thousands of individual subs° 0"
bers, and in parcels to clubs all over the An:o6°s%
continent. To get through so gigantic a busili A
requires as much ingenuity as to get up o°b 0
business requires ability and industry. There
nothing like it inLondon, for though Lloyd's Weed',
News and some such papers publish half a inollyri
this is done but weekly, while the Tribune is c 1314,03
semi-weekly, and weekly. It is no wonder that be
paper is lost in admiration of itself, and that the
party acknowledges that it has ably performed ill,
work of the campaign. When that is over it sysej
we presume, settle down, with greatly incre,.°lo
strength, to its ordinary business, when W 0 'Ol
that it will become less Radical and more natiii
—less demonstrative and more moderate, and re e
take the place which seems opening to it of t,
great American journal, such as the 7imes has ouc
cupied for so long a period in England.
