Upon the above we make The following
comments:
The portion Of the senterce quoted In The
New York Tribune did not contain tie
grorcmtn Of the charge which We raade against
Horace Greeley. In order to understand how
far The n. +. 1rDtna< admfts and how far 1t
DENTS our statement, We quote the rrrnafn-
der Of the sentence 10 v wh.ch the n. 7. Tribune
pats In no denial:
