Our readers are already aware that the said
Greeley spent each day of the riots in our city
in The TRIBUNE Office, where bis duties re-
quired him TO be-that be entered it and lefe
it in plain sight OF the crowd hanging around
and threatening it, recognized and booted as

speech from the City Hall steps to that inter.

operating by himself, save that they betray iu-
fnitey more cowardice. II the Governor had
