The TRIBUNE has declined 10 be
lured or turned aside from the Main
Question. IL has persistently refused
TO swell the clainor for vtngeIlee on
the defeated Rebels, whether by execu-
ton or confiscation and one OF its
strong reasons for this course Is con
viction that no drop of Rebel blood
could be cody, deliberately shed with
out essentially clouding the prospect
of securing the Right of Suffrage to
the Blacks. Defying the madness Of
passion and the blindness of short
sighted miseonseption, IL has deman-
ded Reconstruction on the basis OF
Universal Amnesty with Impartial
Suffrage, in perfect consciousness of
the fact that 1t thereby alienated thou

porters and lifelong patrons. The
